Romans 10
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Abooluganda, kye njagala mu mutima gwange era kye nsabira Abayisirayiri eri Katonda, kwe kulokolebwa.
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Kubanga nkakasa nga balina obunyiikivu eri Katonda, naye si mu kutegeera.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Mu butamanya butuukirivu bwa Katonda, bagezaako okwenoonyeza obutuukirivu, nga bagondera amateeka mu kifo ky’okugondera obutuukirivu bwa Katonda.
4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
Kristo atuwa amakulu amajjuvu, buli amukkiriza n’amuwa obutuukirivu.
5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
Musa awandiika ku butuukirivu obuva mu mateeka nti, “Omuntu alikola ebintu ebyo aliba mulamu mu byo.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
Naye okukkiriza okuva mu butuukirivu, kugamba nti, “Toyogeranga mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Ani alirinnya mu ggulu?’ (kwe kuggya Kristo mu ggulu)
newaakubadde okugamba nti, ‘Ani alikka emagombe?’ (kwe kuggya Kristo mu bafu.)” (Abyssos g12)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
Abo bonna abalina okukkiriza mu Kristo bagamba nti, “Ekigambo kiri kumpi naawe, kiri mu kamwa ko era kiri mu mutima gwo,” kye kigambo eky’okukkiriza kye tubuulira.
9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
Bw’oyatula n’akamwa ko nti, Yesu ye Mukama, n’okkiriza n’omutima gwo nga Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, olokoka.
10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Kubanga omuntu akkiriza na mutima gwe n’aweebwa obutuukirivu, era ayatula na kamwa ke n’alokoka.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Kubanga Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba nti, “Buli amukkiriza taliswazibwa.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
Tewali njawulo wakati wa Muyudaaya na Muyonaani, kubanga Mukama waabwe y’omu era ayanukula abo bonna abamukoowoola.
13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Buli alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama alirokoka.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Kale balikoowoola batya oyo gwe batakkiririzaamu? Era balikkiriza batya oyo gwe batawulirangako? Era baliwulira batya awatali abuulira?
15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
Era balibuulira batya nga tebatumiddwa? Ekyawandiikibwa nga bwe kigamba nti, “Ebigere by’abo abategeeza amawulire amalungi, nga birungi.”
16 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Naye si bonna abaagondera Enjiri. Isaaya agamba nti, “Mukama, waliwo akkirizza obubaka bwaffe?”
17 So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Noolwekyo okukkiriza kujja olw’okuwulira ekigambo kya Kristo.
18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
Naye mulowooza Abayisirayiri tebaawulira? Weewaawo baawulira. Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba nti, “Eddoboozi lyabwe lyabuna mu nsi zonna, n’ebigambo byabwe byatuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi.”
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
Abayisirayiri baabitegeera oba tebaabitegeera? Bw’ati Musa bw’addamu ekibuuzo ekyo: “Ndibaleetera okukwatirwa obuggya abatali ggwanga, ne mbasunguwaza olw’eggwanga eritalina kutegeera.”
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
Ne Isaaya yali muvumu bwe yagamba nti, “Nazuulibwa abo abatannoonya, ne ndabika eri abo abatambuulirizaako.”
21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Naye eri Isirayiri agamba nti, “Olunaku lwonna nalumala nga ngolodde emikono gyange eri eggwanga ekkakanyavu era abantu abeewaggula.”
