Abaruumi 10
1 Abooluganda, kye njagala mu mutima gwange era kye nsabira Abayisirayiri eri Katonda, kwe kulokolebwa.
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
2 Kubanga nkakasa nga balina obunyiikivu eri Katonda, naye si mu kutegeera.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for 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 being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Kristo atuwa amakulu amajjuvu, buli amukkiriza n’amuwa obutuukirivu.
For Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Musa awandiika ku butuukirivu obuva mu mateeka nti, “Omuntu alikola ebintu ebyo aliba mulamu mu byo.”
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
6 Naye okukkiriza okuva mu butuukirivu, kugamba nti, “Toyogeranga mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Ani alirinnya mu ggulu?’ (kwe kuggya Kristo mu ggulu)
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down);
or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Messiah up from 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 word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;
9 Bw’oyatula n’akamwa ko nti, Yesu ye Mukama, n’okkiriza n’omutima gwo nga Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, olokoka.
because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from 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, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
11 Kubanga Ebyawandiikibwa bigamba nti, “Buli amukkiriza taliswazibwa.”
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
12 Tewali njawulo wakati wa Muyudaaya na Muyonaani, kubanga Mukama waabwe y’omu era ayanukula abo bonna abamukoowoola.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
13 Buli alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama alirokoka.
For, "Whoever will call 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 have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer?
15 Era balibuulira batya nga tebatumiddwa? Ekyawandiikibwa nga bwe kigamba nti, “Ebigere by’abo abategeeza amawulire amalungi, nga birungi.”
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."
16 Naye si bonna abaagondera Enjiri. Isaaya agamba nti, “Mukama, waliwo akkirizza obubaka bwaffe?”
But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 Noolwekyo okukkiriza kujja olw’okuwulira ekigambo kya Kristo.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.
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 ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts of the 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 ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
20 Ne Isaaya yali muvumu bwe yagamba nti, “Nazuulibwa abo abatannoonya, ne ndabika eri abo abatambuulirizaako.”
Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."
21 Naye eri Isirayiri agamba nti, “Olunaku lwonna nalumala nga ngolodde emikono gyange eri eggwanga ekkakanyavu era abantu abeewaggula.”
But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
