< Romans 10 >
1 Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for 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 bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ mũira wao atĩ nĩ marĩ kĩyo ũhoro-inĩ wa Ngai, no kĩyo kĩu kĩao gĩkaaga ũmenyi.
3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
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 an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
Nake Kristũ nĩwe wakinyirie ũhoro wa watho mũthia nĩgeetha kũgĩe na ũthingu kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.
5 for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
Musa aataarĩirie ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na watho na njĩra ĩno: “Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio arĩtũũragio muoyo nĩmo.”
6 and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to 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 go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of the dead). (Abyssos )
“o na ndũkeyũrie, ‘Nũũ ũkaaharũrũka irima rĩrĩa rĩtarĩ gĩturi?’” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, ambatie Kristũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ). (Abyssos )
8 But what does it say? “The saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach;
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 may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of 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 the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ etĩkagia na ngoro yake, agatuuo mũthingu, na akoimbũra na kanua gake, agakĩhonokio.
11 for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
Tondũ Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũmwĩhokaga ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaaconorithio.”
12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling 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, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩke atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wothe ũrĩa ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonoka.”
14 How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?
No rĩrĩ, mangĩmũkaĩra atĩa matamwĩtĩkĩtie? Na mangĩmwĩtĩkia atĩa matarĩ maigua ũhoro wake? Na mangĩkĩigua atĩa matarĩ na mũndũ wa kũmahunjĩria?
15 And how will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!”
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 they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
No rĩrĩ, ti andũ othe Isiraeli meetĩkĩrire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega. Nĩgũkorwo Isaia oririe atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ?”
17 So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gwĩtĩkia kuumanaga na kũigua ũhoro, naguo ũhoro ũiguagwo na ũndũ wa kiugo gĩa Kristũ.
18 but I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable 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 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,”
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 is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
Nake Isaia akiuga omĩrĩirie mũno atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mataanjaragia nĩo maanyonire; ndeeguũrĩirie arĩa mataanjũũragĩrĩria.”
21 and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
No ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Isiraeli akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya wothe ndindaga ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa kũrĩ andũ aremi, na a ngarari.”
