Abaruumi 10
1 Abooluganda, kye njagala mu mutima gwange era kye nsabira Abayisirayiri eri Katonda, kwe kulokolebwa.
Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;
2 Kubanga nkakasa nga balina obunyiikivu eri Katonda, naye si mu kutegeera.
for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
3 Mu butamanya butuukirivu bwa Katonda, bagezaako okwenoonyeza obutuukirivu, nga bagondera amateeka mu kifo ky’okugondera obutuukirivu bwa Katonda.
for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4 Kristo atuwa amakulu amajjuvu, buli amukkiriza n’amuwa obutuukirivu.
For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
5 Musa awandiika ku butuukirivu obuva mu mateeka nti, “Omuntu alikola ebintu ebyo aliba mulamu mu byo.”
for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
6 Naye okukkiriza okuva mu butuukirivu, kugamba nti, “Toyogeranga mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Ani alirinnya mu ggulu?’ (kwe kuggya Kristo mu ggulu)
and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to Heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down)
or, “Who will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Abo bonna abalina okukkiriza mu Kristo bagamba nti, “Ekigambo kiri kumpi naawe, kiri mu kamwa ko era kiri mu mutima gwo,” kye kigambo eky’okukkiriza kye tubuulira.
But what does it say? “The saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach;
9 Bw’oyatula n’akamwa ko nti, Yesu ye Mukama, n’okkiriza n’omutima gwo nga Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, olokoka.
that if you may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved,
10 Kubanga omuntu akkiriza na mutima gwe n’aweebwa obutuukirivu, era ayatula na kamwa ke n’alokoka.
for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 Kubanga Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba nti, “Buli amukkiriza taliswazibwa.”
for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
12 Tewali njawulo wakati wa Muyudaaya na Muyonaani, kubanga Mukama waabwe y’omu era ayanukula abo bonna abamukoowoola.
for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,
13 Buli alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama alirokoka.
for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
14 Kale balikoowoola batya oyo gwe batakkiririzaamu? Era balikkiriza batya oyo gwe batawulirangako? Era baliwulira batya awatali abuulira?
How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?
15 Era balibuulira batya nga tebatumiddwa? Ekyawandiikibwa nga bwe kigamba nti, “Ebigere by’abo abategeeza amawulire amalungi, nga birungi.”
And how will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!”
16 Naye si bonna abaagondera Enjiri. Isaaya agamba nti, “Mukama, waliwo akkirizza obubaka bwaffe?”
But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
17 Noolwekyo okukkiriza kujja olw’okuwulira ekigambo kya Kristo.
So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
18 Naye mulowooza Abayisirayiri tebaawulira? Weewaawo baawulira. Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba nti, “Eddoboozi lyabwe lyabuna mu nsi zonna, n’ebigambo byabwe byatuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi.”
but I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable world.”
19 Abayisirayiri baabitegeera oba tebaabitegeera? Bw’ati Musa bw’addamu ekibuuzo ekyo: “Ndibaleetera okukwatirwa obuggya abatali ggwanga, ne mbasunguwaza olw’eggwanga eritalina kutegeera.”
But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,”
20 Ne Isaaya yali muvumu bwe yagamba nti, “Nazuulibwa abo abatannoonya, ne ndabika eri abo abatambuulirizaako.”
and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
21 Naye eri Isirayiri agamba nti, “Olunaku lwonna nalumala nga ngolodde emikono gyange eri eggwanga ekkakanyavu era abantu abeewaggula.”
and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
