Jo-Rumi 10

1 Jowetena, gima chunya dwaro kendo alamoe Nyasaye ne jo-Israel, en ni mondo giyud warruok.

My Brethren, The desire of my heart, and my intercession with God for them, is, that they might have life.

2 Nimar anyalo timo nendgi ni giramo mar tiyo ni Nyasaye, to kata kamano gionge gi ngʼeyo.

For I bear them witness, that there is in them a zeal for God; but it is not according to knowledge.

3 Nikech ne gikia ngima makare ma aa kuom Nyasaye, gisetemo keto margi giwegi, ka gidagi rwako yor Nyasaye moketogo ji kare.

For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

4 Kristo e giko mar Chik kendo en ema okelo ngima makare ni ji duto moyie.

For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.

5 Musa lero kuom ngima makare maa kuom Chik kama: “Ngʼat moluwo chikegi nobed mangima kuomgi.”

For Moses describeth the righteousness, which is by the law, thus: Whoever shall do these things, shall live by them.

6 To ngima makare maa kuom yie to wacho niya, “Kik iwach e chunyi ni, ‘Ere ngʼama didhinwa e polo malo?’” (tiende ni, mondo olor Kristo piny),

But the righteousness which is by faith, saith thus: Thou shalt not say in thy heart, Who ascendeth to heaven, and bringeth Messiah down?

7 “kata ni, ‘En ngʼa mabiro lor ei bur?’” (tiende ni, mondo ogol Kristo oa kuom joma otho). (Abyssos g12)

Or, Who descendeth to the abyss of the grave, and bringeth up Messiah from the place of the dead? (Abyssos g12)

8 To owacho nangʼo? “Wach ni machiegni kodu, en mana e dhou kendo e chunyu,” mano e wach yie mwalando.

But what saith it? The thing is near to thy mouth, and to thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim.

9 Ka ihulo gi dhogi ni “Yesu en Ruoth,” kendo iyie ei chunyi ni Nyasaye nochiere oa kuom joma otho, to iniyud warruok.

And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live.

10 Nimar chunyi ema iyiego mi keti kare kendo dhogi ema ihulogo mi iyud warruok.

For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life.

11 Mana kaka Muma wacho niya, “Ngʼato angʼata moyie kuome ok none wichkuot.”

For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

12 Nimar onge pogruok e kind jo-Yahudi gi joma ok jo-Yahudi; Ruoth Yesu en Ruoth machalre ni ji duto, kendo en gi mwandu mogundho mopogo ni ji duto maluongo nyinge,

And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him.

13 nimar, “Ngʼato ka ngʼato maluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye noresi.”

For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life.

14 To ere kaka digiluong ngʼat mapok giyie kuome? Koso digiyie nadi kuom Ngʼat mapok giwinjo kuome? To giniwinj kuome nadi kaonge ngʼama oyalonigi?

How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or, how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? Or, how shall they hear, without a preacher?

15 To ere kaka digiyal wach kuome ka ok oorgi? Mana kaka ondiki niya, “Mano kaka en gima ber neno tiend joote makelo wach maber!”

Or, how shall they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of the heralds of peace, and of the heralds of good things?

16 To jo-Israel duto ok oserwako Injilini. Nimar Isaya nowacho niya, “Ruoth, en ngʼa moseyie wach mwalando?”

But all of them have not obeyed the proclamation of the gospel. (For, Isaiah said: My Lord, who hath believed our proclamation?)

17 Kuom mano, yie aa kuom wach miwinjo, kendo wach miwinjono en wach Kristo.

Therefore, faith is from the hearing of the ear; and the hearing of the ear, is from the word of God.

18 To apenjo kama: Donge gisewinjo wach? Chutho, gisewinjo, nikech, “Dwondgi osedhi kuonde duto e piny, wechegi osechopo nyaka e tunge piny.”

But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.

19 Kendo apenjo kama: Bende debed ni Israel ne ok owinjo tiend wach? Mokwongo, Musa wacho niya, “Anami nyiego maku gi joma ok owinjore kwan ka oganda; anami mirima maku gi oganda maonge winjo.”

But I say: Did not Israel know? First, Moses said, thus: I will awaken your emulation, by a people which is not a people; and by a disobedient people, I will provoke you.

20 Isaya to wuoyo gi chir niya, “Ne oyuda gi joma ne ok omanya. Ne afwenyora ne joma ne ok openja.”

And Isaiah was bold, and said: I was seen by those who sought me not; and I was found by those who inquired not for me.

21 To kuom Israel to owacho niya, “Odiechiengʼ duto aserieyo bedena ne oganda ma ok winj wach kendo ma wigi tek.”

But to Israel, he said: All the day, have I stretched out my hands to a contentious and disobedient people.
