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].
Anu henu um, unyara iruba in nan bi ringara bum Asere barkiwe ine ini barki wakem ubura.
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].
Barki manya tize awe agi wazin nu inko iruba Asere, anime daki u rusa 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.
Wazo me in nu rusa imumu ihuma ya Asere wa inko ace imumu ihuma iwe. Dakawa nya ace awe imumu ihuma ya Asere 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].
Abine me Yeso me mani umyinca imum iriri uhana andesa wa hem.
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.”
Musa ma nyettike ahira imumu ihuma sama kem uweki utize tini kubu, ''unube sa ma wuza imum ihuma uweki utize tini kubu, madi huma ahira imum ihum.''
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]!
Anime imum ihuma ya ē ahira u hem uni, ''kati igu amu ruba mu shi, aveni madi nyene uhana asesere?'' (Barki ma tuzo Yeso adizi).
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)
Kati igu, ''aveni madi tu uhana adizi?'' (Aveni madi surni Yeso iwono). (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].
Anime nyani magusa? ''Nigura me nizi mamu nan hu anyimo anyo aweme nan ni rubu iweme.'' Nigura nu hem, nigebe sa tiboni.
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}.
Barki inki wabuk inna nyo aweme, Yeso ugomo mani, wa hem iruba iweme agi Asere a hirzam anyimo iwono, udi kem ubura.
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.
Barki in ni ruba unu ma henzi uhana imumu ihuma, in na nyo ani unu ma boo uhana ubura.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Barki tize ta Asere taguna, ''vat desa ma hem ni madi da kunname mu i ba.''
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].
Abanna me usassas urani atii uyahawa nan unu zatu tarsa Asere. Abana me vat uwe ugomo Asere u inde mani awe, me unu kem mani uhana adesa vat matita me.
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 desa ma tita ni za nu gomo Asere madi kem ubura.
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]
Aneni wadi titi deba sa daki wa hemin mw ba? ire wadi wu ane ni wahem in desa daki wamu kunna iri mum ame ba?
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!’”
Aneni wadi wuzi tize me, inki daki atuma we ni ba? kasi sa a nyettike agi, ''aneni idi cukuno anu aye intize me!''
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]”
Anime daki vatti ni wakaba tize maba. Ishaya cangi magu, ''ugomo Asere aveni ma hem in tize tiru?''
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!
A anime uhem u eze ahira ukunna ukunna me usuro utize ti Yeso.
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]!
Anime ingu, ''nani daki wa kunna ini ba? ē, rep'' ni myiran nu we nasa mirka unee vat, aguran awe abiki uhana ubinani unee.''
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].
Kani maguna, ''nani isaraila watawe niba?'' u tuba musa magu, ''indi wushi i wu iruba nan ni eru nan ni mumbe sa daki anabu ba. I mumbe sanbasa a banna me ine ini anabu sa wa zome innu rusaba, indi wuzi katuman we in hirza shi muruba.''
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 in ni ruba ihu magu, ''andesa daki wa nyaramba wayen ne wa kem. Ma aye ahira andesa daki wanyaran 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.
A isaraila maguna, ''mawito tari tum ahira anu anu zatu ukunna vat uhana u ka rizo wui, barki we anu wani gbas.''
