1 Bokk yi, sama coobareg xol ci bànni Israyil ak sama ñaan ci Yàlla, mooy ñu mucc.
1Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them 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 witness that they have zeal for 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 seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to 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 law for righteousness to every one that believes.
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 lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised 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 of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
7 «Bul wax it:“Kuy dem ca barsàq?”» mel ni dangaa bëgg Kirist dekki.
7or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [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 says it? The word is near thee, 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 Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [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 is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
11 Mbind mi dafa wax ne: «Képp ku ko gëm, sa yaakaar du tas mukk.»
11For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall 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 of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
13 Ndaxte bind nañu: «Képp ku woo Boroom bi ciw turam, dinga mucc.»
13For every one whosoever, who shall call on 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 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?
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 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!
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 glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 Kon boog ngëm ci kaw dégg lay juddoo, te dégg sosoo ci xebaaru Kirist.
17So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
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? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable 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, 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.
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 says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become 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.»
21But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
