Romans 10
1 Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.
Anuanom, nea me koma pere hwehwɛ yɛ me mpae a mebɔ srɛ Onyankopɔn ma Israelfo sɛ wobenya nkwagye.
2 For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge.
Metumi adi wɔn ho adanse sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔde mmɔdemmɔ som Onyankopɔn sɛnea ɛsɛ. Nanso wɔn som no mfi nimdeɛ mu.
3 For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.
Wɔammu trenee a efi Onyankopɔn no, na mmom wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔfa wɔn ankasa nimdeɛ so. Eyi amma wɔamfa wɔn ho anhyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ a ɔnam so ma onipa wie pɛyɛ no ase.
4 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth.
Kristo ne mmara no awiei, enti obiara a ogye di no bɛyɛ ɔtreneeni.
5 For Moses thus describeth the righteousnes which is of the Lawe, That the man which doeth these things, shall liue thereby.
Mose kyerɛe sɛ, sɛ onipa di mmara no so a, obetumi asɔ Onyankopɔn ani, bere a ɔkyerɛw se, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ onya nkwa a, ɔnyɛ nea mmara no ka no nyinaa.”
6 But the righteousnes which is of faith, speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? (that is to bring Christ from aboue)
Nanso wɔn a wɔn gyidi nti Onyankopɔn agye wɔn no, mmisa wɔ wɔn koma mu se, “Hena na ɔbɛkɔ ɔsoro akɔfa Kristo aba?”
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) (Abyssos g12)
Na wɔremmisa nso se, “Hena na ɔbɛkɔ awufo asase so akonyan no aba nkwa mu?” (Abyssos g12)
8 But what sayth it? The worde is neere thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thine heart. This is the worde of faith which we preach.
Nea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka ni: “Onyankopɔn asɛm no abɛn wo, ɛda wʼano na ɛwɔ wo koma mu.” Eyi ne asɛm a ɛfa gyidi ho a yɛka no.
9 For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued:
Sɛ wopae mu ka se, “Yesu ne Awurade,” na wugye di sɛ Onyankopɔn na onyan no fii awufo mu a, wobegye wo nkwa.
10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.
Na yefi koma mu gye di na wɔabu yɛn bem, na yɛde yɛn ano pae mu ka na yɛanya nkwagye.
11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
Na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Obiara a ɔde ne ho to ne so no, nʼanim rengu ase.”
12 For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian: for he that is Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him.
Nsonoe biara nni Yudani ne Amanamanmuni ntam. Awurade baako no yɛ Awurade ma wɔn nyinaa na ohyira wɔn a wosu frɛ no.
13 For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
Sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no benya nkwa.”
14 But how shall they call on him, in whome they haue not beleeued? and how shall they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard? and howe shall they heare without a preacher?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na nnipa benya gyidi wɔ Awurade mu na wɔabisa no nkwagye? Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔate? Gye sɛ obi ka kyerɛ wɔn.
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, Howe beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Na sɛ wɔansoma wɔn nso a, wɔbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔaka Asɛmpa no? Sɛnea wɔakyerɛw se, “Wɔn a wɔde Asɛmpa no reba no anan yɛ fɛ.”
16 But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?
Nanso ɛnyɛ wɔn nyinaa na wɔagye Asɛmpa no adi, sɛnea Yesaia kae se, “Awurade, hena na wagye yɛn asɛnka adi?”
17 Then faith is by hearing, and hearing by the worde of God.
Ɛno de, na gyidi no fi asɛm no tie mu, nea yɛte fi Asɛmpa a ɛfa Kristo ho no mu.
18 But I demaund, Haue they not heard? No doubt their sound went out through all the earth, and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.
Nanso mibisa se: Wɔante ana? Mmom wɔtee: “Wɔn nne akodu asase so mmaa nyinaa, na wɔn nsɛm nso akodu asase ano.”
19 But I demaund, Did not Israel knowe God? First Moses sayth, I will prouoke you to enuie by a nation that is not my nation, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Mibisa bio se, Israelfo ante ase ana? Nea edi kan, Mose ka se, “Mɛma moatwe aman a wɔnyɛ me man mpo ho ninkunu. Mede ɔman a wonni ntease bɛhyɛ mo abufuw.”
20 And Esaias is bolde, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not, and haue bene made manifest to them that asked not after me.
Na Yesaia de akokoduru ka se, “Wɔn a wɔnhwehwɛ me no huu me; medaa me ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn a wommisaa mʼase no.”
21 And vnto Israel hee sayth, All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient, and gainesaying people.
Na nea ɔka faa Israelfo ho ne sɛ, “Da mu nyinaa matrɛw me nsa mu ama nnipa a wɔyɛ asoɔden ne nyiyiano.”
