Romans 10
1 Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.
Ụmụnna m, ihe na-agụ nnọọ obi m agụụ nke ukwu na ekpere m na-ekpe nye Chineke bụ ịhụ na a zọpụtara ha.
2 For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge.
Ana m agba akaebe na ihe banyere Chineke na-anụ ha ọkụ nʼobi nke ukwuu. Kama ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi ha abụghị site na mmazu Chineke.
3 For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.
Ebe ha na-amaghị ezi omume nke si na Chineke bịa kama ha chọrọ ihiwe nke onwe ha, ha ewedaghị onwe ha nʼokpuru ezi omume nke Chineke.
4 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth.
Kraịst bụ ọgwụgwụ iwu. Ya mere, ezi omume ga-adịrị onye ọbụla nke kwere.
5 For Moses thus describeth the righteousnes which is of the Lawe, That the man which doeth these things, shall liue thereby.
Mosis si otu a dee banyere ezi omume nke sitere nʼiwu, “Onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ndị a ga-adị ndụ site na ha.”
6 But the righteousnes which is of faith, speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? (that is to bring Christ from aboue)
Ma ezi omume ahụ nke sitere nʼokwukwe na-asị, “Asịla nʼime obi gị, ‘onye ga-arịgo nʼime eluigwe?’” (nke bụ, ikudata Kraịst)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) (Abyssos g12)
“maọbụ, ‘Onye ga-arịda nʼime ili?’” (nke a bụ, ịkpọlite Kraịst site na ndị nwụrụ anwụ). (Abyssos g12)
8 But what sayth it? The worde is neere thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thine heart. This is the worde of faith which we preach.
Ma gịnị ka ọ na-ekwu? “Okwu ahụ nọ gị nso, ọ dị nʼọnụ gị dịrịkwa nʼobi gị,” ọ bụ ya, bụ okwu okwukwe ahụ anyị na-ekwusa.
9 For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued:
Ma ọ bụrụ na ị ga-eji ọnụ gị kwupụta, na “Jisọs bụ Onyenwe anyị,” kwerekwa nʼime obi gị na Chineke kpọlitere ya site nʼọnwụ, a ga-azọpụta gị.
10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ obi gị ka ị ga-eji kwere; a gụọ gị nʼonye ezi omume, ọ bụkwa ọnụ gị ka ị ga-eji kwupụta, a zọpụta gị.
11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
Dịka akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru, “Onye ọbụla kweere na ya, agaghị eme ka ihere mee ya.”
12 For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian: for he that is Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him.
Nʼihi na o nweghị ihe dị iche nʼetiti onye Juu na onye mba ọzọ, otu Onyenwe anyị ahụ bụ Onye nwe mmadụ niile, ọ na-agọzibigakwa ndị na-akpọku ya oke.
13 For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
Nʼihi na, “Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-azọpụta.”
14 But how shall they call on him, in whome they haue not beleeued? and how shall they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard? and howe shall they heare without a preacher?
Ma olee otu ha ga-esi kpọkuo aha ya ma ọ bụrụ na ha ekwereghị na ya? Olee otu ha ga-esikwa kwere nʼonye ahụ ha anụbeghị ihe gbasara ya? Olee otu ha ga-esi nụkwa ma ọ bụrụ na ndị nkwusa adịghị?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, Howe beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Oleekwanụ otu ha ga-esi pụọ gaa kwusaa, ma ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ndị zipụrụ ha? Dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, sị, “Lee, ka ha si maa mma bụ ụkwụ ndị na-eweta oziọma.”
16 But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?
Ma ọ bụghị mmadụ niile nabatara oziọma ahụ. Nʼihi na Aịzaya kwuru, “Onyenwe anyị, onye kweere ozi anyị?”
17 Then faith is by hearing, and hearing by the worde of God.
Ma ọ bụ ihe doro anya na ọ bụ site nʼige ntị nʼoziọma a ka mmadụ ji enweta okwukwe, oziọma ahụ a na-anụ bụ site nʼokwu Kraịst.
18 But I demaund, Haue they not heard? No doubt their sound went out through all the earth, and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.
Ma ana m ajụ, Ọ ga-abụ na ha anụghị? Ha nụrụ ya nʼezie. “Nʼụwa niile ka olu ha pụrụ gazuo, okwu ọnụ ha niile erukwaala nʼebe ụwa sọtụrụ.”
19 But I demaund, Did not Israel knowe God? First Moses sayth, I will prouoke you to enuie by a nation that is not my nation, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Ọzọkwa, ana m ajụ, ọ bụ na Izrel aghọtaghị? Na mbụ, Mosis sịrị, “Aga m esite na ndị na-abụghị mba kpalie mmụọ ekworo nʼime unu; aga m esitekwa nʼobodo na-enweghị nghọta kpasuo unu iwe.”
20 And Esaias is bolde, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not, and haue bene made manifest to them that asked not after me.
Ma Aịzaya jiri nkwuwa okwu sị, “Ndị chọtara m bụ ndị na-adịghị ajụ ase m, ekpugheere m onwe m nye ndị ahụ na-adịghị ajụ ase m.”
21 And vnto Israel hee sayth, All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient, and gainesaying people.
O kwuru banyere ndị Izrel, “Agbasara m aka m ogologo ụbọchị niile nye ndị nnupu isi na ndị na-ekwesị olu ike.”
