Ndị Rom 10
1 Ụmụnna m, ihe na-agụ nnọọ obi m agụụ nke ukwu na ekpere m na-ekpe nye Chineke bụ ịhụ na a zọpụtara ha.
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is, that they may get salvation.
2 Ana m agba akaebe na ihe banyere Chineke na-anụ ha ọkụ nʼobi nke ukwuu. Kama ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi ha abụghị site na mmazu Chineke.
For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.
3 Ebe ha na-amaghị ezi omume nke si na Chineke bịa kama ha chọrọ ihiwe nke onwe ha, ha ewedaghị onwe ha nʼokpuru ezi omume nke Chineke.
Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.
4 Kraịst bụ ọgwụgwụ iwu. Ya mere, ezi omume ga-adịrị onye ọbụla nke kwere.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.
5 Mosis si otu a dee banyere ezi omume nke sitere nʼiwu, “Onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ndị a ga-adị ndụ site na ha.”
For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.
6 Ma ezi omume ahụ nke sitere nʼokwukwe na-asị, “Asịla nʼime obi gị, ‘onye ga-arịgo nʼime eluigwe?’” (nke bụ, ikudata Kraịst)
But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down: )
7 “maọbụ, ‘Onye ga-arịda nʼime ili?’” (nke a bụ, ịkpọlite Kraịst site na ndị nwụrụ anwụ). (Abyssos g12)
Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead: ) (Abyssos g12)
8 Ma gịnị ka ọ na-ekwu? “Okwu ahụ nọ gị nso, ọ dị nʼọnụ gị dịrịkwa nʼobi gị,” ọ bụ ya, bụ okwu okwukwe ahụ anyị na-ekwusa.
But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:
9 Ma ọ bụrụ na ị ga-eji ọnụ gị kwupụta, na “Jisọs bụ Onyenwe anyị,” kwerekwa nʼime obi gị na Chineke kpọlitere ya site nʼọnwụ, a ga-azọpụta gị.
Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:
10 Nʼihi na ọ bụ obi gị ka ị ga-eji kwere; a gụọ gị nʼonye ezi omume, ọ bụkwa ọnụ gị ka ị ga-eji kwupụta, a zọpụta gị.
For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.
11 Dịka akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru, “Onye ọbụla kweere na ya, agaghị eme ka ihere mee ya.”
Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.
12 Nʼihi na o nweghị ihe dị iche nʼetiti onye Juu na onye mba ọzọ, otu Onyenwe anyị ahụ bụ Onye nwe mmadụ niile, ọ na-agọzibigakwa ndị na-akpọku ya oke.
And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:
13 Nʼihi na, “Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-azọpụta.”
Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.
14 Ma olee otu ha ga-esi kpọkuo aha ya ma ọ bụrụ na ha ekwereghị na ya? Olee otu ha ga-esikwa kwere nʼonye ahụ ha anụbeghị ihe gbasara ya? Olee otu ha ga-esi nụkwa ma ọ bụrụ na ndị nkwusa adịghị?
But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?
15 Oleekwanụ otu ha ga-esi pụọ gaa kwusaa, ma ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ndị zipụrụ ha? Dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, sị, “Lee, ka ha si maa mma bụ ụkwụ ndị na-eweta oziọma.”
And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.
16 Ma ọ bụghị mmadụ niile nabatara oziọma ahụ. Nʼihi na Aịzaya kwuru, “Onyenwe anyị, onye kweere ozi anyị?”
But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?
17 Ma ọ bụ ihe doro anya na ọ bụ site nʼige ntị nʼoziọma a ka mmadụ ji enweta okwukwe, oziọma ahụ a na-anụ bụ site nʼokwu Kraịst.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18 Ma ana m ajụ, Ọ ga-abụ na ha anụghị? Ha nụrụ ya nʼezie. “Nʼụwa niile ka olu ha pụrụ gazuo, okwu ọnụ ha niile erukwaala nʼebe ụwa sọtụrụ.”
But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19 Ọzọkwa, ana m ajụ, ọ bụ na Izrel aghọtaghị? Na mbụ, Mosis sịrị, “Aga m esite na ndị na-abụghị mba kpalie mmụọ ekworo nʼime unu; aga m esitekwa nʼobodo na-enweghị nghọta kpasuo unu iwe.”
But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.
20 Ma Aịzaya jiri nkwuwa okwu sị, “Ndị chọtara m bụ ndị na-adịghị ajụ ase m, ekpugheere m onwe m nye ndị ahụ na-adịghị ajụ ase m.”
And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.
21 O kwuru banyere ndị Izrel, “Agbasara m aka m ogologo ụbọchị niile nye ndị nnupu isi na ndị na-ekwesị olu ike.”
But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
