Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
Bamwangu, intakazo ye inkulo yangu ni inkupo yangu kwa Ireeza, kuhazwa kwabo.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Sina haniha bupaki kuamana nabo kuti bena inchiseho kwa Ireeza, kono isiñi chokuya che inzibo.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Kakuti kabezi kuluka kwa Ireeza, imi basaka kuzaka kuluka kwabo bene. Kena babali tuli kunsi yo kuluka kwa Ireeza.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Kakuti Kirisite nji mwi zuzilikizi wo mulao cho kuluka kwa zumwi ni zumwi yo zumina.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
Kakuti Mushe uñola kuamana ni kuluka kuzwa ku mulao: “Muntu yo panga kuluka kwa mulao kahale cho ku kuluka.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
Kono kuluka kuzwa kwi intumelo kuwamba ichi, “Kanji u wambi mwi inkulo yako, 'Njeni yese akambame mwi wulu?' (cho kuti, kuleta Kirisite hansi);
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)
imi kanji uti, 'Njeni yesa shetumukile mwilindi lisena ma manimani?”' (cho kuti, ku zikula Kirisite kuba fwile). (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
Kono iwamba nzi? “Linzwi lina he mbali nawe, mukaholo kako imi ni mwi inkulo yako.” Ilyo nji linzwi lye intumelo, li tuwamba.
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Mukuti haiba cha kaholo kako uwamba kuti Jesu nji Simwine, imi ni kuzumina mwi inkulo yako kuti Ireeza aba mubusi kuba fwile, kohazwe.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
Kakuti che inkulo muntu uzumina cho kuluka, imi cha kaholo u lemuha cha kuhazwa.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Kakuti iñolo liwamba, “Yense yo zumina kwali kese na swabiswe.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
Kakuti kakwina inshutano mukati ka Mujunda ni Mugerike. Kakuti Simwine uswana nji Simwine wa bonse, imi ufumite kubonse basumpa kwali.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Kakuti yense yo sumpa he zina lya Simwine ka hazwe.
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
Cwale linu kaba sumpe bule kwali ubasena ba bazumini? Mu ba zumine bule mwali ibasena ba bazuwi? Mu ba zuwe bule nikusena mukutazi?
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Cwale kaba kutaze bule, kwanda haba tumwa? Sina mukuñolelwe, “Malotu bule mantende abo bawamba makande a zintu zi lotu!”
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
Kono bonse kena ba tekelezi kwi ivangeli. Mukuti Isaya uwamba, “Simwine, njeni ya ba zumini iñusa lyetu?
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Linu intumelo iza cha kuzuwa, imi ni kuzuwa cha linzwii lya Kirisite.
18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
Kono ni wamba, “Kana baba zuwi?” Eee, cho buniti. “Mulumo wabo ubayendi mwi inkanda zonse, imi manzwi abo ku mamani mani e inkanda.”
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
Nihakubabulyo, ni wamba, “Kana Isiraele kana abezi?” Intanzi Mushe uti, “Kani mitangole cha muna kecho chisali che inkanda. Cha mukwa we inkanda ni kusena kuzuwisisa, kani mi tangole mane mubenge.”
20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
Linu Isaya abena bundume ha wamba, “Niba wanwa kwabo basana babali kunigana. Niba libonahazi kwabo basana babani kumbili.”
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
Kono kwa Isiraele uwamba, “Musihali onse ni ba wololi mayanza angu kubasa kuteki ni bantu bamahañi.”
