1 Bokk yi, sama coobareg xol ci bànni Israyil ak sama ñaan ci Yàlla, mooy ñu mucc.
1Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;
2 Seedeel naa leen ne, ñu farlu lañu ci jaamu Yàlla, waaye seen njaamu àndul ak xam-xam.
2for I bear them testimony 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 not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
4 Ndaxte ci Kirist la yoonu Musaa dëppe, ba tax ku ko gëm, dinga jub fa kanam Yàlla.
4For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
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 doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in 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.
6and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,` that is, Christ to bring down?
7 «Bul wax it:“Kuy dem ca barsàq?”» mel ni dangaa bëgg Kirist dekki.
7or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,` that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.
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 doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:` that is, the saying of the faith, that 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 mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of 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 doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 Mbind mi dafa wax ne: «Képp ku ko gëm, sa yaakaar du tas mukk.»
11for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing 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 Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,
13 Ndaxte bind nañu: «Képp ku woo Boroom bi ciw turam, dinga mucc.»
13for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he 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 upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
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, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!`
16 Waaye ñépp nanguwuñu xebaar bu baax bi; moom la Esayi wax ne: «Boroom bi, ana ku gëm sunu waare?»
16But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?`
17 Kon boog ngëm ci kaw dégg lay juddoo, te dégg sosoo ci xebaaru Kirist.
17so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying 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, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — `to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.`
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 [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent 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.»
20and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, `I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;`
21 Waaye ci mbirum Israyil dafa wax ne:«Tàllal naa samay loxo, suba ba ngoon, ci xeet wu may bañ tey werante.»
21and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.`
