Aroma 10
1 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ũndũ ũrĩa ngoro yakwa yendete mũno na ũrĩa hooyaga Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli nĩ atĩ mahonokio.
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.
2 Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ mũira wao atĩ nĩ marĩ kĩyo ũhoro-inĩ wa Ngai, no kĩyo kĩu kĩao gĩkaaga ũmenyi.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Na tondũ matiigana kũmenya ũthingu ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai no nĩ kũgeria maageririe kwĩhaandĩra ũthingu wao ene-rĩ, matiigana kwĩnyiihĩria ũthingu wa Ngai.
For being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.
4 Nake Kristũ nĩwe wakinyirie ũhoro wa watho mũthia nĩgeetha kũgĩe na ũthingu kũrĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie.
For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.
5 Musa aataarĩirie ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na watho na njĩra ĩno: “Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio arĩtũũragio muoyo nĩmo.”
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall live by them."
6 No rĩrĩ, ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na gwĩtĩkia uugaga atĩrĩ: “Ndũkaneyũrie na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkwambata akinye igũrũ?’” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, agĩĩre Kristũ amũrehe gũkũ thĩ)
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or,
7 “o na ndũkeyũrie, ‘Nũũ ũkaaharũrũka irima rĩrĩa rĩtarĩ gĩturi?’” (ũguo nĩ kuuga, ambatie Kristũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ). (Abyssos g12)
who shall descend into the deep, (that is, to (Abyssos g12)
8 No ũhoro ũcio uugaga atĩa? Uugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũrĩ o hakuhĩ nawe; ũrĩ o kanua-inĩ gaku, na ngoro-inĩ yaku,” naguo ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio ũrĩa tumbũraga:
bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
9 Atĩ ũngiumbũra na kanua gaku atĩ, “Jesũ nĩ Mwathani,” o na gwĩtĩkia wĩtĩkie na ngoro yaku atĩ Ngai nĩamũriũkirie oime kũrĩ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, no ũhonoke.
and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ etĩkagia na ngoro yake, agatuuo mũthingu, na akoimbũra na kanua gake, agakĩhonokio.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 Tondũ Maandĩko moigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe ũmwĩhokaga ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaaconorithio.”
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him, shall not be ashamed.
12 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngũũrani gatagatĩ ka Mũyahudi na mũndũ-wa-Ndũrĩrĩ: tondũ Mwathani o ũcio nĩwe Mwathani wa andũ othe, na nĩarathimaga mũno arĩa othe mamũkayagĩra;
For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him.
13 nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩke atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wothe ũrĩa ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonoka.”
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 No rĩrĩ, mangĩmũkaĩra atĩa matamwĩtĩkĩtie? Na mangĩmwĩtĩkia atĩa matarĩ maigua ũhoro wake? Na mangĩkĩigua atĩa matarĩ na mũndũ wa kũmahunjĩria?
But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 Ningĩ andũ mangĩhota atĩa kũhunjia ũhoro matarĩ atũme? O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ magũrũ ma andũ arĩa mahunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega nĩmagĩrĩire-ĩ!”
and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things?
16 No rĩrĩ, ti andũ othe Isiraeli meetĩkĩrire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega. Nĩgũkorwo Isaia oririe atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ?”
But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gwĩtĩkia kuumanaga na kũigua ũhoro, naguo ũhoro ũiguagwo na ũndũ wa kiugo gĩa Kristũ.
So that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 No ngũũria atĩrĩ: Matirĩ maigua Ũhoro? Hatirĩ nganja nĩmaiguĩte, tondũ Maandĩko mekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũgambo wao nĩwahunjire thĩ yothe, nacio ciugo ciao igĩkinya ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ.”
But I say, Have they not heard? Verily their sound is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19 Na ningĩ ngũũria atĩrĩ: Andũ a Isiraeli matiigana kũmenya ũguo? Atĩrĩ, Musa o mbere oigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngatũma mũigue ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa rũrĩrĩ hatarĩ; nĩngatũma mũrakare nĩ ũndũ wa rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ na ũmenyo!”
But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"
20 Nake Isaia akiuga omĩrĩirie mũno atĩrĩ, “Andũ arĩa mataanjaragia nĩo maanyonire; ndeeguũrĩirie arĩa mataanjũũragĩrĩria.”
and Esaias positively affirms, "I was found of them that sought me not, I was made manifest to them that asked not after me:"
21 No ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Isiraeli akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya wothe ndindaga ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa kũrĩ andũ aremi, na a ngarari.”
and saith to Israel, "All the day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people."
