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].
Bhana bhasu, jing'umbu ja mu mutima gwani na lisabhwa lwani ku Nyamuanga ni ingulu yebhwe, ingulu yo mwelulo gwebhwe.
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].
Kulwo kubha enibhabhambalila ati bhekomesishe ingulu ya Nyamuanga, mbe nawe atali ingulu yo bhumenyi.
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.
Kulwo kubha bhatabhumenya obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga, na abhaiga okumbaka obhulengelesi bhwebhwe abhene. Bhaliga bhatolobhele mu bhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga.
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].
Kulwo kubha Kristo niwe bhukumisha bhe bhilagilo ingulu yo bhulengelesi bhwa bhuli munu unu kekilisha.
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.”
Kwo kubha Musa kandika okulubhana no bhulengelesi bhunu obhuja okulubhana ne bhilagilo: Omunu unu Kenda okukola obhulengelesi bhwe bhilagilo kekala kwo bhulengelesi bhunu.”
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]!
Mbe nawe obhulengelesi bhunu obhulubhana ne likilisha elyaika kutya, “Wasiga kwaika mu mwoyo gwao ati, “Niga unu akalinye mu Lwile? (Gunu nikumutelemusha Kristo emwalo)'”.
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)
Na Wasiga kwaika ati, 'Niga unu akeke mulyobho?'” (Gunu nikumulinya Kristo ingulu okusoka mu bhafuye). (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].
Mbe nawe eyaikaki? “omusngo guli ayei nawe, mukanwa yao na mu mwoyo gwao.” Ogwo ni musango gwe likilisha, gunu eswe echilasha.
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}.
Kulwo kubha alabha kwo munwa gwao oumwikilisha Yesu ati ni Latabhugenyi, no ku mwikilisha mumwoyo gwao ati Nyamuanga amusulue okusoka mu bhafue, owelulwa.
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.
Kwo kubha kwo omwoyo omunu kekilisha no kubhona obhulengelesi, na kwo munwa omwikilisha no kubhona okwelulwa.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Kwo kubha elyandiko elyaika,”bhuli unu kamwikilisha ataliswala.”
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].
Kwo kubha bhutalio bhutasikane agati ya Bhayaudi na Bhayunani. kwo kubha Latabhugenyi ulya ulya ni wabhona, na ni munibhi kubhona ku bhanu abhanu abhamubhilikila.
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}.”
Kwo kubha bhuli munu unu kalibhilikila lisina Lya Latabhugenyi alikisibhwa.
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]
Ku nsongaki abhatula okumubhilikila omwene oyo bhachali kumwikilisha? Na Kulwaki abhatula okumwikilisha omwene oyo bhachali kumungwa? Na abhongwa atiki bhatalasibhwe omusango, atali bhatumilwe? -Kutyo jandikilwe,”
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!’”
Nikutiki abhatula okusimula, atali bhatumilwe? - Lwa kutyo jandikilwe, “Nikutiki nigakisi amagulu gebhwe bhalya bhanu abhalasha emisango ne jo bhukondelewe ne emisango je kisi
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]”
Mbe nawe bhone bhatagutegelesishe omusango gwo bhwana, kwo kubha Isaya aikile “Latabhugenyi, niga unu oguwe omusango gweswe?”
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!
Kwibhyo okwikilisha okuja okulubhana no kungwa, no kungwa kwo Musango gwa Kristo.
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]!
Mcbe nawe naika,” Angu bhatonguwe?” Yee kwe chimali muno. “Obhulaka bhwebhwe bhwaulukile anja muchalo chone, ne misango jebhwe okuja kubhutelo bhwe chalo.”
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].
Kubhutelo bhwa gone, enaika,”Angu Israeli atamenyele? “Musa niwe ambile okwaika,”Nilibhasolosoja okubhayana lifuwa ku bhanu abho bhatali bheyanga. Kujila ya liyanga elyo litali nabhumenyi, Nilibhasolosoja mubhiililwe.”
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!
Mbe Isaya Ali no bhubhasi muno kaika, “Na bhonekene na bhalia abho bhatanyingile. Nabhonekene kubhalia abho bhatankenele.”
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.
Mbe nawe kwa Israel kaika,” Naku jona nenamusishe amabhoko gani kwabho bhatonguwe na ku bhanu bhakomee.”
