羅馬書 10
1 弟兄們! 我心裏所懷的切望，向天主所懇求的，就是為使我的同胞獲得救恩。
Brethren my hertes desyre and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.
2 我可以為他們作證：他們對天主有慹心，但不合乎真知超見，
For I beare them recorde that they have a fervet mynde to God warde but not accordinge to knowledge.
3 因為他們不認識由天主而來的正義，企圖建立自己的正義，而不順從天主的正義：
For they are ignoraut of the rightewesnes which is alowed before God and goo about to stablisshe their awne rightewesnes and therfore are not obedient vnto the rightewesnes which is of valew before God.
4 因為法律的終向是基督，使凡信祂的人獲得正義。
For Christ is the ende of the lawe to iustifie all that beleve.
5 關於出自法律的正義，梅瑟曾寫過：『遵守法律的人，必因法律而生活。』
Moses describeth the rightewesnes which cometh of ye lawe howe that the man which doth the thinges of the lawe shall lyve therin.
6 但是，出自信仰的正義卻這樣說：『你心裏不要說：誰能升到天上去？』意思是說：使基督從那裡下來；
But ye rightewesnes which cometh of fayth speaketh on this wyse. Saye not in thyne hert who shall ascende into heven? (that is nothinge els then to fetch Christ doune)
Other who shall descende into the depe? (that is nothinge els but to fetch vp Christ from deeth) (Abyssos g12)
8 正義到底說了什麼？她說：『天主的話離你很近，就在你的口裏，就在你的心中。』這就是指我們關於信仰的宣講。
But what sayth the scripture? The worde is nye the even in thy mouth and in thyn herte. This worde is the worde of fayth which we preache.
9 如果你口裏承認耶穌為主，心裏相信天主使祂從死者中復活起來了，你便可獲得救恩，
For yf thou shalt knowledge wt thy mouth that Iesus is the lorde and shalt beleve with thyn hert that God raysed him up from deeth thou shalt be safe.
10 因為心裏相信，可使人成義；口裏承認，可使人獲得救恩。
For the belefe of the hert iustifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe.
11 經上又說：『凡相信祂的人，不致蒙羞。』
For the scripture sayth: whosoever beleveth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 其實，並沒有猶太與希臘人的區別，因為眾人都有同一的主，祂對一切呼號祂的人都是富有慈惠的。
Ther is no difference bitwene the Iewe and the gentyll. For one is Lorde of all which is ryche vnto all that call on him.
13 的確，『凡呼號上主名號的人，必然獲救。』
For whosoever shall call on the name of the lorde shalbe safe.
14 但是人若不信祂，又怎能呼號祂呢？從未聽到祂，又怎能信祂呢？沒有宣講者，又怎能聽到呢？
But how shall they call on him on who they beleved not? how shall they beleve on him of whom they have not herde? how shall they heare with out a preacher?
15 若沒有奉派遣，怎能去宣講呢？正如所記載的：『傳佈福音者的腳步是多麼美麗啊! 』
And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written: how beautifull are the fete of them which bringe glad tydynges of peace and bringe glad tydynges of good thinges.
16 然而並不是所有的人都服從了福音。依撒意亞曾說過：『上主，有誰相信了我們的報道呢？』
But they have not all obeyed to ye gospell. For Esaias sayth: Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinges?
17 所以信仰是出於報道，報道是出於基督的命令。
So then fayth cometh by hearynge and hearynge cometh by the worde of God.
18 但我要問：難道他們沒有聽過嗎？一定聽過了。『他們的聲音傳遍普世，他們的言語達於地極。』
But I axe: have they not herde? No dout their sounde went out into all londes: and their wordes in to the endes of the worlde.
19 但是我再問：難道以色列人不明白嗎？首先梅瑟說過：『我以那不成子民的人，激起你們的妒火；以愚昧的民族，惹起你們的怒氣。』
But I demaunde whether Israel dyd knowe or not? Fyrst Moses sayth: I will provoke you for to envy by the that are no people and by a folisshe nacion I will anger you.
20 繼而依撒意亞也放膽說：『未曾尋找我的人，找到了我；對未曾訪問我的人，我顯現了。』
Esaias after that is bolde and sayth. I am founde of the that sought me not and have appered to them that axed not after me.
21 但是關於以色列人卻說：『我整天向悖逆違抗的民族，伸出我的手。』
And agaynst Israel he sayth: All daye longe have I stretched forth my hondes vnto a people yt beleveth not but speaketh agaynst me.
