Roma 10
1 Kakabsat, para ti pannakaisalakanda ti tarigagay ti pusok ken ti kiddawko iti Dios.
My friends, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for my people is for their salvation.
2 Ta agsaksiak maipanggep kadakuada nga addaanda iti regta para ti Dios, ngem saan a maitutop iti pannakaammo.
I can testify that they are zealous for the honor of God; but they are not guided by true insight,
3 Gapu ta saanda nga ammo ti kinalinteg ti Dios, ken pinadasda nga ipasdek ti bukodda a kinalinteg. Saanda a nagpaituray iti kinalinteg ti Dios.
for, in their ignorance of the divine righteousness, and in their eagerness to set up a righteousness of their own, they refused to accept with submission the divine righteousness.
4 Gapu ta ni Cristo iti nakatungpalan iti linteg para iti kinalinteg a maipaay kadagiti amin a namati.
For Christ has brought Law to an end, so that righteousness may be obtained by everyone who believes in him.
5 Gapu ta insurat ni Moises ti maipanggep iti kinalinteg nga agtaud iti linteg: “Agbiag ti tao nga agar-aramid iti kinalinteg ti linteg babaen iti daytoy a kinalinteg.”
For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, those who practice it will find life through it.
6 Ngem ibagbaga daytoy iti kinalinteg a nagtaud iti pammati, “Saanyo nga ibaga dita pusoyo, 'Siasino iti umuli idiay langit?' (dayta ket, panangiyulog kenni Cristo).
But the righteousness which results from faith finds expression in these words: ‘Do not say to yourself “Who will go up into heaven?”’ (which means to bring Christ down)
7 Ken saanyo nga ibaga 'Siasino iti umulog sadiay yuyeng?”' (dayta ket, panangiyuli kenni Cristo manipud ti patay.) (Abyssos g12)
‘or “Who will go down into the depths below?”’ (which means to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Ngem ania iti ibagbagana? “Asideg ti sao kadakayo, iti ngiwatyo ken iti pusoyo.” Dayta ti sao ti pammati, nga iwarwaragawagmi.
No, but what does it say? ‘The message is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (which means ‘The message of faith’ which we proclaim).
9 Gapu ta no bigbigenyo kadagiti ngiwatyo ni Jesus a kas Apo, ken mamatikayo iti pusoyo a pinagungar isuna ti Dios manipud iti patay, maisalakankayonto.
For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Ta gapu iti puso a mamati ti tao iti kinalinteg, ken bigbigbigenna ti pannakaisalakan babaen iti ngiwat.
For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their profession of faith and so find salvation.
11 Ta ibagbaga ti Nasantoan a Sursurat, “Saan a maibabain ti Amin a mamati kenkuana.”
As the passage of scripture says – ‘No one who believes in him will have any cause for shame.’
12 Ta awan iti nagdumaan iti Judio ken Griego. Ti Apo met laeng ti Apo iti isu-amin, ken narang-ay isuna iti amin nga umaw-awag kenkuana.
For no distinction is made between the Jew and the Greek, for all have the same Lord, and he is bountiful to all who invoke him.
13 Ta maisalakan amin nga umawag iti nagan ti Apo.
For everyone who invokes the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 Kasano ngarud nga umawagda kenkuana, kenkuana a saanda a pinati? Ken kasanoda a mamati kenkuana, kenkuana a saanda pay a nangngegan? Ken kasanoda a makangngeg no awan iti mangasaba?
But how, it may be asked, are they to invoke one in whom they have not learned to believe? And how are they to believe in one whose words they have not heard? And how are they to hear his words unless someone proclaims him?
15 Ken kasanoda a mangasaba, malaksid no naibaonda? —Kas iti naisurat, “Anian a nagpintas dagiti saksaka dagiti mangiwaragawag iti naragsak a damdamag ti naimbag a banbanag!”
And how is anyone to proclaim him unless they are sent as his messengers? As scripture says – ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’
16 Ngem saanda amin a dimngeg iti ebanghelio. Gapu ta kinuna ni Isaias, “Apo, siasino ti namati iti mensahemi?”
Still, it may be said, everyone did not give heed to the good news. No, for Isaiah asks – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching?’
17 Ngarud, agtaud ti pammati manipud iti panagdengdengngeg, ken panagdengdengngeg iti sasao ni Cristo.
And so we gather, faith is a result of teaching, and the teaching comes in the message of Christ.
18 Ngem kinunak, “Dida kadi nangngeg?” Wen, ken awan duadua. Naiwaras ti unida iti sangalubongan, ken dagiti sasaoda kadagiti pagpatinggaan ti lubong.”
But I ask ‘Is it possible that people have never heard?’ No, indeed, for – ‘Their voices spread through all the earth, and their message to the ends of the world.’
19 Maysa pay, Ibagak, “Saankadi a naammoan ti Israel?” Umuna, ibagbaga ni Moises, “Paapalenkayo babaen iti maysa a saan a nasion. Babaen iti nasion nga awan pannakaawatna, pagpungtutenkayo.”
But again I ask ‘Did not the people of Israel understand?’ First there is Moses, who says – ‘I, the Lord, will stir you to rivalry with a nation which is no nation; against an undiscerning nation I will arouse your anger.’
20 Ken natured ni Isaias ken kinunana, “Nasarakandak dagiti saan a nangbiruk kaniak. Nagparangak kadagiti saan a nangdawat kaniak.”
And Isaiah says boldly – ‘I was found by those who were not seeking me; I made myself known to those who were not inquiring of me.’
21 Ngem iti Israel kunana, “Iti agmalem, inyunnato dagiti imak kadagiti saan a natulnog ken kadagiti managkedked a tattao.”
But of the people of Israel he says – ‘All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who disobey and contradict.’
