Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ũndũ ũrĩa ngoro yakwa yendete mũno na ũrĩa hooyaga Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli nĩ atĩ mahonokio.
2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ mũira wao atĩ nĩ marĩ kĩyo ũhoro-inĩ wa Ngai, no kĩyo kĩu kĩao gĩkaaga ũmenyi.
3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Na tondũ matiigana kũmenya ũthingu ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai no nĩ kũgeria maageririe kwĩhaandĩra ũthingu wao ene-rĩ, matiigana kwĩnyiihĩria ũthingu wa Ngai.
4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
Nake Kristũ nĩwe wakinyirie ũhoro wa watho mũthia nĩgeetha kũgĩe na ũthingu kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.
5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Musa aataarĩirie ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na watho na njĩra ĩno: “Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio arĩtũũragio muoyo nĩmo.”
6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
No rĩrĩ, ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na gwĩtĩkia uugaga atĩrĩ: “Ndũkaneyũrie na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkwambata akinye igũrũ?’” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, agĩĩre Kristũ amũrehe gũkũ thĩ)
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
“o na ndũkeyũrie, ‘Nũũ ũkaaharũrũka irima rĩrĩa rĩtarĩ gĩturi?’” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, ambatie Kristũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ). (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
No ũhoro ũcio uugaga atĩa? Uugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũrĩ o hakuhĩ nawe; ũrĩ o kanua-inĩ gaku, na ngoro-inĩ yaku,” naguo ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio ũrĩa tumbũraga:
9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Atĩ ũngiumbũra na kanua gaku atĩ, “Jesũ nĩ Mwathani,” o na gwĩtĩkia wĩtĩkie na ngoro yaku atĩ Ngai nĩamũriũkirie oime kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, no ũhonoke.
10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ etĩkagia na ngoro yake, agatuuo mũthingu, na akoimbũra na kanua gake, agakĩhonokio.
11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Tondũ Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũmwĩhokaga ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaaconorithio.”
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka Mũyahudi na mũndũ-wa-Ndũrĩrĩ: tondũ Mwathani o ũcio nĩwe Mwathani wa andũ othe, na nĩarathimaga mũno arĩa othe mamũkayagĩra;
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩke atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wothe ũrĩa ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonoka.”
14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
No rĩrĩ, mangĩmũkaĩra atĩa matamwĩtĩkĩtie? Na mangĩmwĩtĩkia atĩa matarĩ maigua ũhoro wake? Na mangĩkĩigua atĩa matarĩ na mũndũ wa kũmahunjĩria?
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Ningĩ andũ mangĩhota atĩa kũhunjia ũhoro matarĩ atũme? O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ magũrũ ma andũ arĩa mahunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega nĩmagĩrĩire-ĩ!”
16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
No rĩrĩ, ti andũ othe Isiraeli meetĩkĩrire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega. Nĩgũkorwo Isaia oririe atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ?”
17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gwĩtĩkia kuumanaga na kũigua ũhoro, naguo ũhoro ũiguagwo na ũndũ wa kiugo gĩa Kristũ.
18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
No ngũũria atĩrĩ: Matirĩ maigua Ũhoro? Hatirĩ nganja nĩmaiguĩte, tondũ Maandĩko mekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũgambo wao nĩwahunjire thĩ yothe, nacio ciugo ciao igĩkinya ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ.”
19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
Na ningĩ ngũũria atĩrĩ: Andũ a Isiraeli matiigana kũmenya ũguo? Atĩrĩ, Musa o mbere oigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngatũma mũigue ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa rũrĩrĩ hatarĩ; nĩngatũma mũrakare nĩ ũndũ wa rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ na ũmenyo!”
20 And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
Nake Isaia akiuga omĩrĩirie mũno atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mataanjaragia nĩo maanyonire; ndeeguũrĩirie arĩa mataanjũũragĩrĩria.”
21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
No ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Isiraeli akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya wothe ndindaga ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa kũrĩ andũ aremi, na a ngarari.”
