Romans 10
1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
Bandeko, posa ya motema na ngai mpe libondeli na ngai epai ya Nzambe ezali ete bana ya Isalaele babika.
2 For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Pamba te nakoki solo kotatola mpo na bango ete bazali penza na bolingo oyo eleka ndelo mpo na Nzambe. Nzokande, bolingo yango evandisami na boyebi te.
3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
Lokola bayebaki te ndenge nini Nzambe akomisaka bato sembo mpe balukaki komikomisa sembo na ndenge na bango moko, batosaki te lolenge oyo Nzambe akomisaka bato sembo.
4 For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
Klisto nde asukisa Mobeko mpo ete moto nyonso oyo akondima akoma moto ya sembo.
5 For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
Tala ndenge nini Moyize akomaki na tina na bosembo oyo ewutaka na Mobeko: « Moto oyo akosalela yango akobika bomoi na ye na nzela na yango. »
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
Kasi tala ndenge nini bosembo oyo ewutaka na kondima elobaka: « Komilobela te kati na motema na yo: ‹ Nani akomata kuna na Likolo? › Ezali lokola kokitisa Klisto wuta na Likolo
7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos g12)
to mpe: ‹ Nani akokita kati na libulu monene mpe ya molili makasi? › Ezali lokola kotombola Klisto kati na bakufi. » (Abyssos g12)
8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
Boye, elobaka penza nini? « Liloba ezali pene na yo, ezali kati na monoko na yo mpe kati na motema na yo. » Liloba yango nde ezali Liloba ya kondima, mpe yango nde tozali kotatola.
9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.
Soki otatoli na monoko na yo ete Yesu azali Nkolo, mpe ondimi na motema na yo ete Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi, okobika;
10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
pamba te kondima oyo ekomisaka sembo ewutaka na motema, mpe litatoli oyo ememaka na lobiko ebimaka nde na monoko.
11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
Makomi eloba: « Moto nyonso oyo andimelaka Ye akotikala koyokisama soni te. »
12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
Boye, bokeseni ezali te kati na Moyuda mpe Mogreki, pamba te bango nyonso bazali na Nkolo moko oyo apambolaka makasi bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Ye.
13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
Solo, moto nyonso oyo akobelela Kombo ya Nkolo akobikisama.
14 How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?
Kasi ndenge nini bakoki solo kobelela Ye soki bandimeli Ye te? Mpe ndenge nini bakoki solo kondimela Ye soki bayoki nanu sango na Ye te? Mpe ndenge nini bakoki solo koyoka sango na Ye soki moto ateyi bango te?
15 and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!
Mpe ndenge nini bakoki koteya soki batindami te? Kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Tala ndenge ezali kitoko, makolo ya bato oyo basakolaka basango ya malamu! »
16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
Kasi bato nyonso te ya Isalaele nde bandimaki Sango Malamu. Pamba te Ezayi alobaki: « Nkolo, nani andimaki mateya na biso? »
17 So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
Boye, kondima ewutaka na maloba oyo toyokaka, mpe maloba oyo toyokaka ewutaka na Liloba ya Klisto.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.
Natuna nanu: Boni, bayokaki te? Iyo, bayokaki! Pamba te ekomama: « Mingongo na bango eyokanaki na mabele mobimba, maloba na bango ekomaki kino na suka ya mokili. »
19 But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.
Natuna lisusu: Bato ya Isalaele basosolaki te? Moyize azalaki moto ya liboso ya koloba: « Nakosala ete boyokela oyo ezali ata ekolo te zuwa, nakosala ete boyoka kanda mpo na ekolo oyo ezanga ata mayele. »
20 But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.
Mpe Ezayi akomaki kino na koloba: « Namilakisaki epai ya bato oyo bazalaki koluka Ngai te, namimonisaki epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kotuna Ngai te. »
21 But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
Kasi alobaki boye mpo na Isalaele: « Natandaki maboko na Ngai mokolo mobimba epai ya bato oyo bazanga botosi mpe bato ya mito makasi. »
