< Romans 10 >

1 My fellow believers, what I deeply desire and what I pray to God earnestly for is that he will save [my own people], [the Jews].
Linuana, usu kibinayi nighe nin fọ nachara nin kiti Kutellẹ, unare ise utuchu.
2 I declare truthfully about them that although they (zealously seek/very much want to know) God, they do not understand [how to seek/know him correctly].
Meng ta iyizin inba nati mine bara idi nin su isu kata Kutellẹ, na dert nin liru Kutellẹ ba.
3 They did not (submit themselves to/accept) the way that God erases the record of people’s sins. They did not [want to] recognize [that way] because they wanted him to do it their own way.
Na inin di nin yiru Kutellẹ di nin lauba, ina nin na pizuru inin se inlau natimine, na inun nani atimine kiti infeu Kutellẹ litimẹ ba.
4 They wanted God to erase the record of their sins [as a result of their obeying his laws. But] because of what Christ has done, it is no longer necessary for [people to obey] the laws [God gave Moses in order for the record of their sins to be erased]. Now God will erase the record of sins of everyone who trusts [in what Christ has done].
Bara Kirsti amere ukulun duka fiu Kutellẹ udu vat innan yinnu nin Kutellẹ.
5 In regard to [the old] way, Moses wrote [concerning people who obey God’s] laws, “It is the people who have done [perfectly] the things [that the laws require] who will gain [eternal] life by [doing] them.”
Bara Musa na su iyertin inbellẹn fiu Kutellẹ ule na udin dasu kitin duka: “Unit ulẹ na su fiu Kutellẹ nan nya duka, basu uchin nan nya nin.”
6 But those whose record of sins God has erased as a result of their believing [in Christ] can say [to anyone] [PRS] [as Moses said], “You should not [critically] think inwardly, ‘(Someone will have to go up and enter heaven!/Who will go up and enter heaven?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go up and] bring Christ down [to bring the message of salvation to us]!
Bara fiu Kutellẹ ulẹ na unuzu nan nya yinnu sa uyenu nworo ne, “Na uwabelin nya kibinayife, 'ghari ma ghannu kitenekani?' (bara anan toltinọ Kirsti ku kutin),
7 “Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
sa tutun, 'ghari ma piru na kisek?' (adi nutun Kirsti ku adamun.)'' (Abyssos g12)
8 But instead, [those who believe in Christ] [PRS] can say what [RHQ] [Moses also said], “You [(sg)] can find out about [God’s] message very easily. You can speak [MTY] about it; you can think [MTY] about it.” This is the message that we proclaim, that people must believe [in Christ].
Au iyari ibelle? ''Ligbulaghe di susut ninfi, nan nya nnufe a nya kibinayife.'' Ligbula in yinnu sa uyenu ari une, na tina mo girzunẹ.
9 [This message is that] if anyone of you confesses/says publicly that Jesus is Lord, and if you [(sg)] believe that God (caused him to become alive again after he died/raised him from the dead), you will be saved {[God] will save you}.
Bara asa ubelle nin nufe Yisa Chikilari bitari, unin yinna nya kibinayife au Kutellẹ. wa fiyaghe nan nya kul, umase utuchu.
10 If people believe [that Christ died and that God caused him to become alive again] [CHI], the result is that [God will erase the record of their sins]. And [for] those who state/declare publicly [that Jesus is their Lord], the result is that [God] will save them.
Bari unit di yinn fiu Kutellẹ nin kibinayẹ ari, tutun nin nuwari asa uyinnu intuchu.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Bara uliru Kutellẹ woro, “vat inlẹ na ayinna ninghe na imatighe inchinba,”
12 [God] treats Jews and non-Jews similarly. Because he is the same Lord for all people [who believe in him], he abundantly [blesses] all who ask him [to save them].
Bara na Ayahudawa di ugan, a Awurmi ugang ba. Bara Chikilari urumerẹ di Chikilari vat, tutun adi susut nin lẹ na ayichilaghe.
13 This is [just like what the prophet Joel wrote]: “All those who ask the Lord [God] to save them will be saved {The Lord [God] will save all those who ask him to save them}.”
Vat inle na ayichila lisa me ama se utuchu.
14 [In regard to the people of Israel rejecting the gospel, some people might object by saying], (OR, [This raises another problem about the Jews]: ) “(They certainly cannot ask [Christ to save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]!/How can they ask [Christ to help/save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot believe [in him] if they have not heard about him!/how can they believe [in him] if they have not heard about him?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]!/how can they hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]?) [RHQ]
Inyizi ari inin ma yichilu lisa lẹ na anu yinna ningheba? Tutun inyizi ari ima yinnu nin lẹ na isa lanza ulabari meba? Tutun inin ba lanzu inyizi ari sa unan bellun inliru Kutellẹ?
15 And those who preach to them [about Christ], (certainly cannot preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach!]/how can they preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach]?) [RHQ] [His sending messengers to them would be] just like it is written {like someone wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘The arrival [MTY] of those who preach the good message is wonderful!’”
Tutun ima tiyizari ibellin uliru Kutellẹ s kadura? Nafo na ina yertin “Inyizi ari inchaut nabunu na nan bellu in liru umang nin nimon ichine!''
16 [I would reply in this way to people who say such things: God has indeed sent people to preach the message about Christ]. But not all [the people of Israel] have paid attention to the good message! [It is like what] Isaiah said [when he felt very discouraged], “Lord, it seems as if hardly anyone believed what they heard us [(exc)] preach! [RHQ]”
Tutun na vatari na lanza ulirun inlai ye ba. Unare Ishaya wa woro, “Chikilari, ghari n yinnin nin kadura bite?''
17 So then, [I tell you that people] are believing [in Christ] as a result of hearing [the message about him], and people are hearing [the message] as a result of [people] preaching [about] Christ!
Bara nani, uyinnu sa uyennu din dasu kiti lanzu, tutun ulanzu ligbula Kirsti
18 But [if someone were to] ask, “Have not [the people of Israel] heard [the message about God?]” [I would reply that they] certainly [have heard it]! It is like [what is written in the Psalms], [People living] all over the world [PRS, MTY] [have seen the stars], and what they indicate [about God’s character has reached people living in] the most remote places in the world [DOU]!
Ameng tutun nworo, “Iwa lanza ba?” Eh!, nanere gbardang. “Liwoi mine na do vat inyẹ. Tutun agbula mine na piru vat ligan inyẹ”
19 But [someone might ask], “[Is it true that the people of] [MTY] Israel understood [the message about Christ]?” [I would reply that certainly they understood it, but they rejected it! Remember that] Moses was the first [one who warned the people of Israel about disobeying God. He told them that God said], [You consider that] non-Jewish groups are not nations at all [CHI]. But some of them [will believe in me, and I will bless them]. Then you will envy them. I will cause you to be angry with those people whom [you Jews think] do not understand [my ways] [IRO].
Tutun, Nworo, “Na Israila na yiru ba?” Uchizunu Musa woro, “Meng ma nazu minu nibinayi nin kiti ka na Immyin mi dyawariba. Nin so immiyin sa uyinnu, Meng ba timinu ilanza ayi.”
20 Remember also [what God] said [very] boldly to Isaiah: Non-Jews who did not (try to know/seek) me will surely find me [DOU]! I will surely reveal what I am like to those who did not ask for me!
Ishaya nuzu kanang a belle, “Alẹ na ina pizurui ba ina sei. in na durọ litining kiti na lẹ na ina tiri tidina ning ba.
21 But concerning [the people of] Israel, [Isaiah] tells [us that God said]: For a long time I have held out my arms to people who disobeyed and rebelled against me, [in order] to invite them to return to me.
Kiti nan Israila abellẹ, “Ko kishi uchara ning yisin kiti nanit ale na idi gbas nin ale na inari.
