1Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
1 Nya-izey, haŋ kaŋ ay bina ga ba, da mo ay ŋwaara kaŋ ay ga te Irikoy gaa Israyla* se ga ti: i ma du faaba.
2For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
2 Zama ay g'i seeda kaŋ i gonda anniya Irikoy se, amma day manti bayray _cimi-cimo|_ boŋ.
3For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
3 Zama za kaŋ i mana bay mate kaŋ boro ga te ka ciya adilante Irikoy jine, i goono mo ga ceeci ngey ma ngey boŋ adilitara tabbatandi, i mana ngey boŋ ye ganda Irikoy jine adilitaray se.
4For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
4 Almasihu ga ti asariya* bananta hala _Irikoy jine|_ adilitaray ma bara borey kulu se kaŋ g'a cimandi.
5For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
5 Zama Musa hantum adilitara boŋ kaŋ asariya ganayaŋ ga no ka ne: «Bora kaŋ g'a gana, a ga nga baafuna te a ra.»
6But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
6 Amma adilitaray kaŋ ga fun cimbeeri* do, ya-cine no a ga ne: «Ma si miila ni bina ra: ‹May no ga ziji ka koy hala beena ra,› (sanda hal a ma Almasihu zumandi nooya)!
7or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead.
7 Wala: ‹May no ga zumbu hala guuso kaŋ sinda me ra,› (sanda hal a ma Almasihu tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra nooya)!»
8But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
8 Amma ifo n'a ga ne? To: «Sanno ga maan nin, A go ni meyo da ni bina ra mo,» kaŋ ga ti cimbeero sanno kaŋ iri goono ga waazu.
9that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.
9 Sanno wo ga ti: Da ni yadda a gaa ka ci da ni meyo ka ne: «Yesu ya Rabbi no,» ka cimandi ni bina ra kaŋ Irikoy n'a tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra, ni ga du faaba.
10For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
10 Zama bine no boro ga cimandi nd'a ka du _Irikoy jine|_ adilitaray, me mo no boro ga seeda nd'a ka du faaba.
11For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
11 Irikoy Tira Hanna ga ne: «Boro kulu kaŋ g'a cimandi si haaw.»
12For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
12 Zama fayyaŋ si no Yahudancey da dumi* cindey game ra, zama Rabbi follonka ga ti i kulu Rabbo, arzakante mo no borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ g'a ce se.
13For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
13 Zama: «Boro kulu kaŋ ga ce Rabbi maa gaa ga du faaba.»
14How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?
14 Amma mate no i ga te k'a ce d'i man'a cimandi? Wala, mate no i ga te k'a cimandi d'i mana maa a baaro? Wala, mate no i ga te ka maa da waazuko si no?
15and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!
15 Wala mo, mate no i ga te ka waazu da manti i n'i donton no? Mate kaŋ i n'a hantum ka ne: «Man i cey booro himando, Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga kande gomni Baaru Hanna!»
16But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
16 Amma manti boro kulu no hangan Baaru Hanna din se. Zama Isaya ne: «Rabbi, may no k'iri baaro cimandi?»
17So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
17 Yaadin no, sanno kaŋ boro ga hangan do no boro ga du cimbeeri*, sanno kaŋ boro ga hangan mo ga ti Almasihu wano.
18But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.
18 Amma ay ne: Wala i mana maa no? Oho, haciika, i maa: «I yooja koy hala laabey kulu ra, I sanney mo to hala ndunnya me.»
19But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, *I* will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.
19 Ay ne koyne: Wala Israyla mana faham no? To, sintina Musa ne: «Ay g'araŋ zukku araŋ ma canse nda boroyaŋ kaŋ manti jama. Ay g'araŋ futandi nda dumi kaŋ sinda fahamay.»
20But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.
20 Isaya mo du bine-gaabi gumo ka ne: «Borey kaŋ yaŋ mana ay ceeci no du ay, Ay bangay mo borey kaŋ yaŋ man'ay hã se.»
21But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
21 Amma Israyla ciine ra a ne: «Ay foy k'ay kambe salle jama hanga sando turanto wo se.»
