Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
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 bear them record that they have a zeal 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 God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness 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 righteousness to every one that believes.
Kraịst bụ ọgwụgwụ iwu. Ya mere, ezi omume ga-adịrị onye ọbụla nke kwere.
5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.
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 righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above: )
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 deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again 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 says it? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word 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 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
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 believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
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 says, Whoever believes on 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 between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to 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 whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Nʼihi na, “Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-azọpụta.”
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear 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, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel 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 have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?
Ma ọ bụghị mmadụ niile nabatara oziọma ahụ. Nʼihi na Aịzaya kwuru, “Onyenwe anyị, onye kweere ozi anyị?”
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word 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 say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
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 say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, 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 But Isaiah is very bold, and said, I was found of them that sought me not; I was 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 But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.
O kwuru banyere ndị Izrel, “Agbasara m aka m ogologo ụbọchị niile nye ndị nnupu isi na ndị na-ekwesị olu ike.”
