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.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.

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 bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to 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.

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to 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 every one that believeth.

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 describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.

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 by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down.)

7 “maọbụ, ‘Onye ga-arịda nʼime ili?’” (nke a bụ, ịkpọlite Kraịst site na ndị nwụrụ anwụ). (Abyssos g12)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ 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 saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

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.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

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 believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

11 Dịka akwụkwọ nsọ kwuru, “Onye ọbụla kweere na ya, agaghị eme ka ihere mee ya.”

For the scripture saith, whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

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.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all, is rich to all that call upon him,

13 Nʼihi na, “Onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-azọpụta.”

For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

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?

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear 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 shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings 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 obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

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 then, faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went 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, Did not Israel know? First, Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by [them that are] no people, [and] by a foolish nation I will anger you.

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.”

But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for 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 to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.
