< Romans 10 >
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Valongo vangu, mtima wangu winogela neju na kumuyupa kwangu Chapanga, ndi ndava ya vandu va Isilaeli kuvya vasanguliwayi.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Ndava muni nijova vene vakangamili neju kumganisa Chapanga, nambu kangamala yeniyo yijengiwi lepi panani ya umaya wa chakaka.
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.
Muni vamanyi lepi ndi Chapanga cheakuvakita vandu vavyayi vabwina palongolo yaki, nambu vene vatumbwili chevaholali, na vakuyilanda lepi njila ya Chapanga ya kuhengewa kuvya vabwina palongolo yaki.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Muni kwa kubwela kwaki Kilisitu, Malagizu gahikili pamwishu waki, muni kila mundu mweakumsadiki Kilisitu akitiwayi kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
Kuuvala kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga mu njila ya kuyidakila Malagizu, Musa ayandiki naha, “Mundu yoyoha mweiyidakila Malagizu yati ivya mumi munjila ya Malagizu genago.”
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 Christ down);
Nambu chenichi ndi cheyijovekana kuvalangiwa ubwina palongolo ya Chapanga kwa njila ya sadika ndi iyi. “Ukoto kujikota mumtima waku, yani mweikwela mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga? Muni kumleta Kilisitu pahi pitu.”
7 or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" (Abyssos )
Amala ukoto kujikota, “Yani mwaihelela mbaka kuligodi langali mwishu? Muni amuyukisa Kilisitu kuhuma kwe vafwili.” (Abyssos )
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;
Nambu Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova naha. “Lilovi la Chapanga livili papipi na veve, livili mumlomo na mumtima waku.” Wenuwo ndi ujumbi wa sadika yetikuyikokosa kwa vandu.
9 because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Ngati ukayidakilayi kwa mlomo waku, kuvya Yesu ndi BAMBU, na kusadika kwa mumtima waku kuvya Chapanga amuyukisi Yesu kuhuma mu lifwa, yati usanguliwa.
10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
Muni mundu isadika kwa mtima ikitiwa mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga, na kuyidakila kwa mlomo waki ndi isanguliwa.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu yoyoha mweakumsadika ikola lepi soni.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
Lijambu lenili ndi kwa voha, kawaka ulekenganu pagati ya Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi, muni Chapanga ndi BAMBU wa vandu voha, na mwene ndi mbwina neju kwa vandu voha vevakumuyupa.
13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mundu yoyoha mweakulikemelela liina la BAMBU, yati isanguliwa.”
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?
Hinu, yati vakumuyupa wuli mwevangamsadika? Kangi vamusadika wuli yula vanga myuwana ujumbi waki? Na viyuwana wuli ngati kawaka mundu wa kuvakokosela?
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."
Vandu vikokosa wuli ngati nakutumwa? Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, “Ndi lijambu la kusangalusa neju kubwela kwa vala vevikokosa Lilovi La Bwina!”
16 But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
Nambu lepi voha vaiyidakili Lilovi La Bwina la Chapanga. Ndava muni Isaya mweavili mlota wa Chapanga ajovili, “BAMBU, ndi yani mweisadika ujumbi witu?”
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Ndi, sadika yibwela kwa kuyuwana ujumbi, na ujumbi wenuwo ubwela mu kukokosa Lilovi la Kilisitu.
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."
Nambu nikota, wu vauyuwini lepi ujumbi wenuwo? Ena, kuyuwana vayuwini, ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Lwami lwavi lwayuwaniki pamulima woha, malovi gavi gahikili mbaka pamwishu wa mulima.”
19 But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
Nikota kangi, wu yihotoleka kuvya vandu va Isilaeli vamanyili lepi? Chapanga alongolili kujova mu njila ya Musa, “Yati nikuvakita muvya na wihu kwa vandu lepi va mulima. Yati nikuvakita likabila la vandu vayimu, vavamemesa ligoga.”
20 Isaiah 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."
Na Isaya ajovili cha ukekesi malovi aga, “Chapanga ajovili, Vandu vala vanganilonda vaniwene, najilangisi kwa vandu vangakota malovi gangu.”
21 But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
Nambu kuvala vandu va Isilaeli Isaya atijovili tete kuvya, Chapanga ijova, “Muhi woha nivatalambulili chiwoko changu kuvakemela vandu vevibela na vanganiyidakila.”
