Romans 10

1 Brethren, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation.

Hama, chishuwo chemoyo wangu nemukumbiro kuna Mwari pamusoro paIsraeri ndiko kuti vaponeswe.

2 For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.

Nokuti ndinovapupurira kuti vanoshingairira Mwari, asi kwete paruzivo;

3 Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.

nokuti vasingazivi kururama kwaMwari, uye vachitsvaka kumisa kururama kwavo pachavo, vakasazviisa pasi pekururama kwaMwari.

4 For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.

Nokuti Kristu mugumo wemurairo mukururama kuna ani nani anotenda.

5 Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

Nokuti Mozisi anonyora kururama kuri kwemurairo, kuti munhu anoita zvinhu izvi achararama nazvo.

6 But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares, "'Who shall ascend to Heaven?'" --that is, to bring Christ down;

Asi kururama kunobva parutendo kunotaura sezvizvi: Usati mumoyo mako: Ndiani achakwira kudenga? Ndiko kuti kuburusa Kristu;

7 "nor 'Who shall go down into the abyss?'" --that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave. (Abyssos g12)

kana kuti: Ndiani achaburukira mukudzika? Ndiko kuti kukwidza Kristu kubva kuvakafa. (Abyssos g12)

8 But what does it say? "The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;" that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith--

Asi kunoti kudini? Shoko riri pedo newe, mumuromo mako nemumoyo mako; iri ishoko rerutendo ratinoparidza;

9 that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.

kuti kana iwe ukabvuma nemuromo wako Ishe Jesu, uye ukatenda mumoyo mako kuti Mwari wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, uchaponeswa;

10 For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.

nokuti nemoyo umwe anotenda mukururama, uye nemuromo anobvuma mukuponeswa.

11 The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him shall have reason to feel ashamed."

Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti: Ani nani anotenda kwaari haangazonyadziswi.

12 Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance.

Nokuti hapana musiyano pakati pemuJudha nemuGiriki; nokuti Ishe ndeumwe wevese, wakafuma kune vese vanodana kwaari.

13 For "every one, without exception, who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Nokuti wese ani nani achadana kuzita raIshe achaponeswa.

14 But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

Zvino vachadana sei wavasina kutenda kwaari? Uye vachatenda sei wavasina kunzwa nezvake? Uye vachanzwa sei vasina anoparidza?

15 And how are men to preach unless they have been sent to do so? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good!"

Zvino vachaparidza sei kana vasina kutumwa? Sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Dzakanaka sei tsoka dzevanoparidza evhangeri yerugare, dzevanoparidza evhangeri yezvakanaka?

16 But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks, "Lord, who has believed the Message they have heard from us?"

Asi vese havana kuteerera evhangeri. Nokuti Isaya anoti: Ishe, ndiani wakatenda zvatakasuma?

17 And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.

Naizvozvo rutendo rwunobva mukunzwa, nekunzwa neshoko raMwari.

18 But, I ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed: "To the whole world the preachers' voices have sounded forth, and their words to the remotest parts of the earth."

Asi ndinoti: Havana kunzwa here? Hongu zvirokwazvo, inzwi ravo rakabuda kunyika yese, nemashoko avo kumigumo yenyika.

19 But again, did Israel fail to understand? Listen to Moses first. He says, "I will fire you with jealousy against a nation which is no nation, and with fury against a nation devoid of understanding."

Asi ndinoti: Israeri haana kunzwisisa here? Pakutanga Mozisi anoti: Ini ndichakumutsirai godo nevasiri rudzi, nerudzi rusingafungi ndichakutsamwisai.

20 And Isaiah, with strange boldness, exclaims, "I have been found by those who were not looking for Me, I have revealed Myself to those who were not inquiring of Me."

NaIsaya akashinga anotiwo: Ndakawanikwa nevasina kunditsvaka, ndakaonekwa kune vasina kundibvunza.

21 While as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out My arms to a self-willed and fault-finding people."

Asi kuna Israeri anoti: Zuva rese ndakatandavadza maoko angu kuvanhu vasingateereri nevanokakavara.
