Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
A bakhomba, lukanu lu ntimꞌama ayi lomba ku ndieta lomba kuidi Nzambi mu diambu di bana ba Iseli luidi mu diambu bavuka.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Bila ndieti kuba telimina kimbangi ti babeki bufula bu ngolo mu diambu di Nzambi, vayi bika boso buididi nzayilu.
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.
Bila basi zaba busonga bu Nzambi ko vayi beti tombanga bu kitudulu basonga mu busonga buawu veka; bamanga kuawu tumukina busonga bu Nzambi.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Bila Klisto niandi tsukusunu yi Mina muingi woso mutu weti wilukila kakituka wusonga.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
Bila Moyize wusudikisa busonga buntotukilanga mu minu ti: woso mutu wela sadila mambu mama, wela zingila mu mawu.
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);
Vayi tala buntubanga busonga bobo buntotukilanga mu minu: Kadi kukiyuvula mu ntimꞌaku ti: nani wela kuenda ku Diyilu e? Bu dinsundula ti: Klisto kasia kuluka ko e?
Voti: Nani wela kuluka ku diyenga e? Bu dinsundula ti: tombula Klisto mu bafua. (Abyssos g12)
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;
Vayi mbi dintuba e? Mambu ma Nzambi mafikimini; madi mu munuꞌaku ayi mu ntimꞌaku. Mambu mama madi mambu ma minu ayi mawu tueti longa.
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.
Bila enati wunkikinina mu munuꞌaku ti Yesu niandi Pfumu, ayi wunwilukila mu ntimꞌaku ti Nzambi wumfulukisa mu bafua, buna wela vuka.
10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
Bila woso mutu wunwilukila mu ntima, wela kitulu wusonga ayi mutu wunkikinina mu munu andi wela tambula phulusu.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
Bila masonoko meti tuba ti: Woso mutu wunkunwilukila kalendi fua tsoni ko.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
Bila kadi luviakunu vasi ko va khatitsika Nyuda ayi muisi Ngelese bila baboso Pfumu yimosi badi. Pfumu beni widi nkua kimvuama kuidi babo bobo beti kunsambila.
13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Bila woso mutu wela sambila dizina di Pfumu wela vuka.
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?
Vayi buevi balenda sambidila mutu wowo wubasia wilukila ko e? Buevi balenda wilukila mutu wowo basia wila zitsangu ko e? Buevi balenda wila mu kambu mutu wunlonga e?
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."
Ayi buevi balenda longila enati basia tumu ko e? Banga bu masonimina: A nga phila kitoko madi malu ma batu bobo bansamunanga Nsamu Wumboti.
16 But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
Vayi baboso basia tumukina Nsamu Wumboti ko. Bila Ezayi wutuba ti: A Pfumu, nani wuwilukila malongi meto e?
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Diawu minu kieti kuizila mu mambu momo tueti wa ayi momo tueti wa meti kuizila mu mambu ma Klisto.
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."
Vayi minu thubidi: basia wa ko e? Nyinga, bawa kuawu bila dusonama ti: Zimbembo ziawu ziwakana va ntoto wumvimba mambu mawu mayenda nate mu zitsongi zi nza yimvimba.
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."
Vayi minu thubidi: Iseli kasia zaba ko e? Va theti Moyize wutuba: Ndiela ku lukitula bankua kiphala mu nzila yi dikanda dikambulu dikanda; ayi ndiela kulufuemisa mu nzila yi dikanda dikambulu diela.
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."
Ezayi wuba bukhafi bu katuba ti: Minu ndibakulu kuidi batu bobo bakambu ku thomba, ndikimonisa kuidi bobo bakambu ku mbela mayindu.
21 But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
Vayi mu diambu di Iseli, niandi wutuba ti: Mu lumbu kimvimba, ndinonuna mioko miama
