< Romans 10 >
1 Bhai khan, moi laga monte itcha aru taikhan nimite Isor usorte prathana kora to taikhan poritran pabo nimite ase.
My fellow believers, what I deeply desire and what I pray to God earnestly for is that he will save [my own people], [the Jews].
2 Isor nimite taikhan mon juli thaka to moi bhi sakhi di ase kintu thik buddhi pora kora nai.
I declare truthfully about them that although they (zealously seek/very much want to know) God, they do not understand [how to seek/know him correctly].
3 Kelemane, taikhan Isor laga dharmikta najane, aru taikhan nijor laga dharmikta bona bole kosis korise. Taikhan to Isor laga dharmikta te nijor jibon diya nai.
They did not (submit themselves to/accept) the way that God erases the record of people’s sins. They did not [want to] recognize [that way] because they wanted him to do it their own way.
4 Kelemane kun he biswas kore taikhan laga dharmikta nimite Khrista he niyom ke pura korise.
They wanted God to erase the record of their sins [as a result of their obeying his laws. But] because of what Christ has done, it is no longer necessary for [people to obey] the laws [God gave Moses in order for the record of their sins to be erased]. Now God will erase the record of sins of everyone who trusts [in what Christ has done].
5 Kelemane Moses pora likhise dharmikta to niyom pora he ahe: “Kun manu niyom kowa khan kori ase, tai etu pora jinda thakibo.”
In regard to [the old] way, Moses wrote [concerning people who obey God’s] laws, “It is the people who have done [perfectly] the things [that the laws require] who will gain [eternal] life by [doing] them.”
6 Kintu biswas pora aha laga dharmikta pora etu koi ase, “Tumi laga monte eneka nakobi, ‘Kun sorgote uthijabo?’ (Etu ase, Khrista ke nami anibo karone);
But those whose record of sins God has erased as a result of their believing [in Christ] can say [to anyone] [PRS] [as Moses said], “You should not [critically] think inwardly, ‘(Someone will have to go up and enter heaven!/Who will go up and enter heaven?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go up and] bring Christ down [to bring the message of salvation to us]!
7 aru nohoile eneka nokobi, ‘Kun norokte nami bo?’” (Etu ase, Khrista mora pora jinda uthaikene anibole). (Abyssos )
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos )
8 Kintu etu pora ki koi ase? “Kotha to apuni usorte he ase.” Etu biswas laga kotha ase, jun to amikhan prochar kori ase.”
But instead, [those who believe in Christ] [PRS] can say what [RHQ] [Moses also said], “You [(sg)] can find out about [God’s] message very easily. You can speak [MTY] about it; you can think [MTY] about it.” This is the message that we proclaim, that people must believe [in Christ].
9 Kelemane, jodi apuni laga mukh pora Jisu ke Probhu eneka shikar korile, aru apuni laga monte Isor pora Tai mora pora jinda uthai dise eneka biswas korile, titia hoile apuni poritran pabo.
[This message is that] if anyone of you confesses/says publicly that Jesus is Lord, and if you [(sg)] believe that God (caused him to become alive again after he died/raised him from the dead), you will be saved {[God] will save you}.
10 Kelemane monte biswas kora pora ekjon dharmik hoijai, aru mukh pora shikar korile poritran pai loi.
If people believe [that Christ died and that God caused him to become alive again] [CHI], the result is that [God will erase the record of their sins]. And [for] those who state/declare publicly [that Jesus is their Lord], the result is that [God] will save them.
11 Kelemane Shastro te eneka likha ase, “Kun pora taike biswas kore, taikhan kunke bhi sorom nadibo.”
[It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 Kelemane Yehudi aru Yunani majote eku alag nai. Kelemane Probhu to sob laga Probhu ase, aru kun pora Taike mate, taikhan sobke Tai laga dhun di ase.
[God] treats Jews and non-Jews similarly. Because he is the same Lord for all people [who believe in him], he abundantly [blesses] all who ask him [to save them].
13 Kelemane kun pora Probhu laga naam mati ase taikhan sob poritran pabo.
This is [just like what the prophet Joel wrote]: “All those who ask the Lord [God] to save them will be saved {The Lord [God] will save all those who ask him to save them}.”
14 Kintu taikhan pora biswas nakora ekjon laga naam kineka matibo? Aru kitia bhi nahuna ekjon ke taikhan kineka biswas koribo? Aru kunba pora prochar nakorile taikhan kineka hunibo?
[In regard to the people of Israel rejecting the gospel, some people might object by saying], (OR, [This raises another problem about the Jews]: ) “(They certainly cannot ask [Christ to save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]!/How can they ask [Christ to help/save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot believe [in him] if they have not heard about him!/how can they believe [in him] if they have not heard about him?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]!/how can they hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]?) [RHQ]
15 Aru taikhan ke napathaile, taikhan kineka prochar koribo? - Likha thaka nisena, “Bhal khobor prochar kora khan laga theng kiman bhi sundur ase!”
And those who preach to them [about Christ], (certainly cannot preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach!]/how can they preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach]?) [RHQ] [His sending messengers to them would be] just like it is written {like someone wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘The arrival [MTY] of those who preach the good message is wonderful!’”
16 Kintu taikhan sob pora susamachar laga kotha mana nai. Kelemane Isaiah koi ase, “Probhu, amikhan prochar kora huni kene kun biswas korise?”
[I would reply in this way to people who say such things: God has indeed sent people to preach the message about Christ]. But not all [the people of Israel] have paid attention to the good message! [It is like what] Isaiah said [when he felt very discouraged], “Lord, it seems as if hardly anyone believed what they heard us [(exc)] preach! [RHQ]”
17 Etu karone huna pora he biswas ahe, aru Khrista laga kotha prochar kora pora hunibo pai.
So then, [I tell you that people] are believing [in Christ] as a result of hearing [the message about him], and people are hearing [the message] as a result of [people] preaching [about] Christ!
18 Kintu moi hudi ase, “Taikhan pora huna nai naki?” Hoi, hosa taikhan pora hunise. “Prithibi sob jagate taikhan laga awaj jai jaise, Aru taikhan laga kotha pora duniya laga sob kona tak punchise.”
But [if someone were to] ask, “Have not [the people of Israel] heard [the message about God?]” [I would reply that they] certainly [have heard it]! It is like [what is written in the Psalms], [People living] all over the world [PRS, MTY] [have seen the stars], and what they indicate [about God’s character has reached people living in] the most remote places in the world [DOU]!
19 Kintu moi hudi ase, “Israel pora buja nai naki?” Moses pora prothom te koise, “Moi juntu desh bhi nohoi, eitu khan dwara tumikhan ke suku jola bole dibo. Nabuja laga desh pora tumikhan ke khong uthibole dibo.”
But [someone might ask], “[Is it true that the people of] [MTY] Israel understood [the message about Christ]?” [I would reply that certainly they understood it, but they rejected it! Remember that] Moses was the first [one who warned the people of Israel about disobeying God. He told them that God said], [You consider that] non-Jewish groups are not nations at all [CHI]. But some of them [will believe in me, and I will bless them]. Then you will envy them. I will cause you to be angry with those people whom [you Jews think] do not understand [my ways] [IRO].
20 Titia Isaiah mon dangor hoi kene eneka koise, “Kun pora bisara nai taikhan pora Moike pai loise. Kun pora huda nai taikhan logote Moi nijor dikhai dise.”
Remember also [what God] said [very] boldly to Isaiah: Non-Jews who did not (try to know/seek) me will surely find me [DOU]! I will surely reveal what I am like to those who did not ask for me!
21 Kintu Israel laga eneka koi ase, “Pura dinte Ami kotha namana aru jhagara kora manu khan uporte hath uthaikene thakise.”
But concerning [the people of] Israel, [Isaiah] tells [us that God said]: For a long time I have held out my arms to people who disobeyed and rebelled against me, [in order] to invite them to return to me.
