Romans 10
1 Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, 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 testimony that they have a zeal of 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 not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit 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 an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
Klisto nde asukisa Mobeko mpo ete moto nyonso oyo akondima akoma moto ya sembo.
5 for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in 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 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)
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
to mpe: ‹ Nani akokita kati na libulu monene mpe ya molili makasi? › Ezali lokola kotombola Klisto kati na bakufi. » (Abyssos g12)
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;
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 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,
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 [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is 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 Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
Makomi eloba: « Moto nyonso oyo andimelaka Ye akotikala koyokisama soni te. »
12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on 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 “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
Solo, moto nyonso oyo akobelela Kombo ya Nkolo akobikisama.
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?
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 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!”
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 were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
Kasi bato nyonso te ya Isalaele nde bandimaki Sango Malamu. Pamba te Ezayi alobaki: « Nkolo, nani andimaki mateya na biso? »
17 So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
Boye, kondima ewutaka na maloba oyo toyokaka, mpe maloba oyo toyokaka ewutaka na Liloba ya Klisto.
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.”
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, 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,”
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 and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible 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 and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
Kasi alobaki boye mpo na Isalaele: « Natandaki maboko na Ngai mokolo mobimba epai ya bato oyo bazanga botosi mpe bato ya mito makasi. »
