Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
RI ai kan, inong en mongiong i, o ai ngidingid kin irail ong Kot pan dore ir ala.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Pwe ngai kadede parail, me re kin nantiong Kot, ap sasa tiak.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Pwe re sasa pung en Kot, ap sosong kapwaiada pein arail pung, ap sota duki ong pung en Kot.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Pwe Kristus kaimwisok pan kapung o; karos me poson en pung kila.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
Pwe Moses masanier duen pung en me pwili sang kapung o: Aramas o, me kapwaiada song pukat, a pan maur kila.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
A iet me pung, me pwili sang poson, kin inda: Der inda nan mongiong om: Is me pan daudala nanlang? Iet wewe: En wadido Kristus.
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)
De is me pan daudi wasa lol? Iet wewe: En wadado Kristus sang ren me melar akan. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
A da me a kin inda? Masan o me koren iong uk, a kin mi nan au om o nan mongiong om; iei masan en poson, me se kin padaki wei.
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Pwe ma koe pan kadedeki au om Iesus, me i me Kaun, ap poson nan mongiong om, me Kot kotin kaiasadar i sang ren me melar akan, koe ap pan doro kila.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
Pwe poson kin tapi sang nan mongiong o, pwen pung kila, o kadede kin tapi sang nan au o, pwen maur kila.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Pwe kisin likau me masani: Amen amen me pan poson i, sota pan soredi.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
Pwe sota irair eu nan pung en men Sus o men Krik, pwe Kaun en irail karos me ta men, me dir en kalangan ong karos, me kin likwir ong i;
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Pwe amen amen me likwir ong mar en Kaun o pan dore kila.
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
A iaduen, irail pan likwirlang i, me irail sota poson? A iaduen, irail pan kak poson i, me re saikenta rong? A iaduen irail pan kak rong, ma sota saunpadak?
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
A iaduen, irail pan kak padaki wei, ma re sota pan pakadarala? Duen a intingidier: Meid pai nä en me padaki rongamau en popol, me padaki rongamau en me mau kan!
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
A kaidin karos me peiki ong rongamau. Pwe Iesaia masani: Maing, is me kamelele at padak?
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Ari, poson kin pwili sang padak, a padak kin pwili sang masan en Kot.
18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
A ngai me inda: Irail sota rongadar? O ei! Pwe ngil arail leler sap karos, o ar padak lel ong irair en sappa.
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
A ngai me inda: Israel sota wewekier? Pwe iet kaieu, me Moses masani: I pan kasarowei kin komail, me kaidin nai aramas, o I pan kamakara kin komail aramas pweipwei kan.
20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
A Iesaia kelail masani: Ngai me kadiarokada sang ren me sota rapa kin ia, o Ngai me pwara dong, me sota idok ia.
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
A kotin masani duen Israel: Kaukaule I kapawei pa i kat ong aramas katiwo o kangudi kan.
