Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, nye dzimedidi kple nye gbedodoɖa na Mawue nye be Israeltɔwo nakpɔ ɖeɖe.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Elabena mate ŋu aɖi ɖase tso wo ŋu be wotsɔa dzo ɖe Mawu ŋuti, gake womewɔa esia kple sidzedze o.
3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Esi womenya Mawu ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye o, eye wole agbagba dzem be yewoatsɔ yewo ŋutɔ ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye atu tsitre la, ekema womebɔbɔ wo ɖokuiwo ɖe Mawu ƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye la te o.
4 For Meshikha is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Se la ƒe nuwuwue nye Kristo, be ame sia ame si xɔ edzi se la nakpɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye.
5 For Mushe writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
Mose ŋlɔ ɖi le dzɔdzɔenyenye si tso se la me la ŋuti be, “Ame si wɔ nu siawo la, anɔ agbe ɖe wo nu.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Meshikha down);
Ke dzɔdzɔenyenye si vana to xɔse me la gblɔ be, “Mègagblɔ le wò dzi me be, ‘Ame kae ayi dziƒo mahã?’” (Esia fia be woatsɔ Kristo ava anyigba dzi)
7 or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Meshikha up from the dead.)" (Abyssos g12)
“alo ‘Ame kae ayi tsiẽƒe mahã?’” (Esia fia be woana Kristo nagatsi tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome). (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim;
Ke nya ka wògblɔ? “Nya la tsɔ ɖe gbɔwò kpuie; ele wò nu me, eye wòle wò dzi me hã.” Esia nye xɔse si ŋu míele gbeƒã ɖem le la.
9 because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Elabena ne ètsɔ wò nu ʋu eme be Yesue nye Aƒetɔ, eye nèxɔe se tso wò dzi me be Mawu fɔe ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la, àkpɔ ɖeɖe.
10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
Elabena wotsɔa dzi xɔna sena hena dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye wotsɔa nu ʋua eme hena ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
Elabena Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔ na mí be, “Ŋu makpe ame sia ame si xɔ Kristo dzi se la akpɔ o.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
Elabena Yudatɔwo kple ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la siaa sɔ le go sia me; Aƒetɔ ɖeka ma koe le wo katã si, eye wònaa eƒe kesinɔnuwo ame sia ame si bianɛ la faa,
13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
elabena, “Ame sia ame si yɔa Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔa la akpɔ ɖeɖe.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?
Azɔ aleke woayɔ ame si dzi womexɔ se o la mahã? Eye aleke woate ŋu axɔ edzi ase ne womese nu tso eŋu kpɔ o? Eye aleke woawɔ ase nya tso eŋu ne ame aɖeke megblɔe na wo o?
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."
Eye aleke ame aɖe aɖe gbeƒã tso Kristo ŋu ne womedɔe o? Abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene be, “Ame siwo ɖea gbeƒã nyanyui la ƒe afɔwo nya kpɔna loo!”
16 But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Eshaya says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
Gake menye Israeltɔwo katãe xɔ nyanyui la dzi se o, elabena Yesaya gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ame kae xɔ míaƒe nyawo dzi se mahã?”
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Meshikha.
Ke xɔse vana na ame to nyanyui la sese me, eye nyanyui la tsoa Mawu ƒe nya me vana.
18 But I ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts of the world."
Ke mele biabiam be: Ɖe womese nya la o mahã? Ɛ̃, vavãe, wosee: “Wogblɔ nyanyui la le anyigba ƒe akpa sia akpa, eye woƒe nyawo de xexea me ƒe seɖoƒe ke.
19 But I ask, did not Israyel know? First Mushe says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
Megale biabiam ake be: Ɖe Israeltɔwo mese nya la gɔme oa? Mosee nye ame gbãtɔ gblɔ be, “Mana miaʋã ŋu ɖe dukɔ si menye dukɔ o la ŋu; eye mana miado dɔmedzoe ɖe dukɔ si mesea nu gɔme o la ŋu.”
20 Eshaya is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."
Ke Yesaya do dzi gblɔ bena, “Ame siwo medim o la kpɔm, eye meɖe ɖokuinye fia ame siwo mebia tanye se o la.”
21 But as to Israyel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
Ke le Israel ŋuti la, egblɔ bena, “Ŋkeke blibo la katã mekeke nye abɔwo na dukɔ si meɖoa to o la, ke wole ɖeklemiɖeɖe dzi, eye wogbea vava.”
