1 Bokk yi, sama coobareg xol ci bànni Israyil ak sama ñaan ci Yàlla, mooy ñu mucc.
1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 Seedeel naa leen ne, ñu farlu lañu ci jaamu Yàlla, waaye seen njaamu àndul ak xam-xam.
2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Xamuñu yoon, wi Yàlla tëral ngir nit jub ci kanamam, waaye dañoo wéy ci seen pexey bopp; ba tax ñu bañ a nangu yoonu njub woowu Yàlla tëral.
3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 Ndaxte ci Kirist la yoonu Musaa dëppe, ba tax ku ko gëm, dinga jub fa kanam Yàlla.
4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 Ku bëgg a jub ci kanam Yàlla ci kaw sàmm yoon, Musaa daf cee wax ne: «Ku ko manoon a matal, dinga dund ba fàww.»
5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 Waaye ku jub ci kanam Yàlla ci kaw ngëm, nii lay waxe:«Bul wax ci sa xol ne:“Kuy yéeg ci kaw?”» mel ni dangaa bëgg Kirist wàcc.
6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 «Bul wax it:“Kuy dem ca barsàq?”» mel ni dangaa bëgg Kirist dekki.
7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 Kon boog lan lay wax? Lii:«Waxu Yàlla mi ngi ci sa wet,ci sa làmmiñ, ci sa xol.» Te wax jooju lal ngëm lanuy waare.
8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 Ndaxte soo waxee ak sa gémmiñ ne, Yeesu mooy Boroom bi, te nga gëm ci sa xol ne, Yàlla dekkal na ko, dinga mucc.
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 Ndax xol la nit di gëme, ba tax mu jub ci kanam Yàlla; làmmiñ it la nit di waxe ne, mi ngi ci Kirist, ba tax Yàlla musal ko.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 Mbind mi dafa wax ne: «Képp ku ko gëm, sa yaakaar du tas mukk.»
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 Ndax ñépp a yem ci kanam Yàlla, muy Yawut mbaa ku dul Yawut, ndax kenn rekk mooy sunu Boroom nun ñépp, te ku yéwén la ci képp ku koy ñaan.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 Ndaxte bind nañu: «Képp ku woo Boroom bi ciw turam, dinga mucc.»
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 Waaye nan lañuy wooye ki ñu gëmagul? Te naka lañu man a gëme ki ñu déggagul turam? Te naka lañu man a dégge turam, te kenn xamalu leen ko?
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 Te it nan lañu man a waaree, su leen kenn yónniwul? Looloo tax Mbind mi wax ne: «Ñiy yégle xebaar bu baax bi, ni seen ñëw di sedde xol!»
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 Waaye ñépp nanguwuñu xebaar bu baax bi; moom la Esayi wax ne: «Boroom bi, ana ku gëm sunu waare?»
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 Kon boog ngëm ci kaw dégg lay juddoo, te dégg sosoo ci xebaaru Kirist.
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Waaye ma ne: xanaa ñépp dañoo déggul? Aaŋkay! Mbind mi wax na ne:«Seen baat jolli na ci ñeenti xebla yépp,seen wax wër na àddina sépp.»
18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 Waaye ma teg ci ne: xanaa bànni Israyil dañoo xamul? Aaŋkay! Musaa dafa jëkkoon a wax ne:«Dinaa leen siisloo xeet wu bokkul ci Yàlla,merloo leen ci ñi xamul dara ci Yàlla.»
19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 Te Esayi takk na fitam, ba wax ne:«Ñi ma wutul woon, gis nañu ma,feeñ naa ci ñi ma laajul woon.»
20But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 Waaye ci mbirum Israyil dafa wax ne:«Tàllal naa samay loxo, suba ba ngoon, ci xeet wu may bañ tey werante.»
21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
