Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
Bagaetsho ba ba rategang, keletso ya pelo ya me le thapelo ya me ke gore Bajuta ba bolokwe.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Ke itse ka fa ba tlhwaafaletseng go tlotla Modimo ka teng, mme le fa go ntse jalo ke tlhwaafalo e e seng ka fa mokgweng.
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.
Gonne ga ba tlhaloganye gore Keresete o swetse go ba siamisa mo Modimong. Mo boemong jwa go tlhaloganya ba leka go itira tshiamo go gapa maikutlo a Modimo ka go tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta le ngwao, mme moo ga se tsela ya Modimo ya poloko.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Ga ba tlhaloganye gore Keresete o neela ba ba mo ikanyang sengwe le sengwe se ba lekang go nna naso ka go tshegetsa melao ya gagwe. O khutlisa gotlhe moo.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
Gonne Moshe o kwadile gore fa motho a ne a ka nna molemo mo go senang le fa e le selabe, a ba a itisa mo thaelong yotlhe a sa ntse a tshela, a ba a sa leofe le fa e le gangwe, ke gone fela ka fa a ka itshwarelwang a bo a bolokwa.
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);
Mme poloko e e tlang ka tumelo ya re, “Ga go tlhokege go puruputsha magodimo o batla Jesu Keresete o bo o mo folosa go tla go go thusa,” ebile,
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)
“ga go tlhokege gore o ye kwa baswing go lere Keresete mo botshelong gape.” (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:
Gonne poloko e e gautshwane mo go mongwe le mongwe wa rona; tota e gautshwane fela jaaka dipelo tsa rona le melomo.
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.
Gonne fa o bolelela ba bangwe ka molomo wa gago gore Jesu Keresete ke Morena wa gago, o bo o dumela mo pelong ya gago gore Modimo o mo tsositse mo baswing, o tlaa bolokwa.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
Gonne ke ka go dumela mo pelong ya gagwe gore motho o siama mo Modimong; mme ka molomo wa gagwe o bolelela ba bangwe kaga tumelo ya gagwe, a tlhomamisa kaga poloko ya gagwe.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Gonne Dikwalo di re bolelela gore ga go na ope yo o dumelang mo go Keresete yo o tlaa tlhabisiwang ditlhong.
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.
Mojuta le Modichaba ba tshwana fela mo lobakeng lo: Botlhe ba na le Morena a le mongwe yo ka bopelotshweu ja gagwe o abelang botlhe dikhumo tse ba di mo kopang.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Le fa e le mang yo o bitsang leina la Morena o tlaa bolokwa.
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?
Mme ba tlaa mo kopa jang go ba boloka fa ba sa dumele mo go ene? Le gone ba ka dumela jang mo go ene fa ba ise ba ke ba bo ba utlwalele kaga gagwe? Gape ba ka utlwa jang kaga gagwe fa go sena ope yo o ba bolelelang?
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!”
Le gone mongwe o tlaa tsamaya jang a ya go ba bolelela fa mongwe a sa mo rome? Ke sone se Dikwalo di buang kaga sone fa di re, “Ana go go ntle jang dinao tsa ba ba rerang Mafoko a kagiso le Modimo, ba bo ba lere mafoko a a itumedisang a dilo tse di molemo.” Ka mafoko a mangwe ke gore, go amogelesega thata jang ba ba tlang ba rera Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo!
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
Mme ga se mongwe le mongwe yo e a reng a utlwa Mafoko a a Molemo a a amogele, gonne Isaia moporofiti o rile, “Morena, ke mang yo o ntumetseng fa ke ba bolelela?”
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Mme le fa go ntse jalo tumelo e tla ka go reetsa Mafoko a a Molemo a, Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Keresete.
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.”
Mme re tlaa reng ka Bajuta? A ba utlwile molaetsa wa Modimo? Ee, gonne molaetsa o ile gongwe le gongwe kwa ba leng teng, Mafoko a a Molemo a boletswe go ya khutlong tsa lefatshe.
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.”
Mme a ba ne ba tlhaloganya (gore Modimo o tlaa neela ba bangwe poloko fa ba gana go e amogela)? Ee, gonne le mo malatsing a bogologolo a lobaka lwa ga Moshe, Modimo o ne wa re o tlaa dira batho ba one go nna lefufa o bo o leka go ba tsosa ka go naya poloko ya one dichaba tsa dieleele tsa baheitane.
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.”
Mme moragonyana Isaia a bua ka bopelokgale a re “Modimo o tlaa bonwa ke batho ba ba neng ba sa o batle.”
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
Mo lobakanyaneng lo, Modimo o tsweletse ka go otlololela mabogo a one mo Bajuteng, mme ba tsweletse ka go tatalala ba gana go tla mo go one.
