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, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation.
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 bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.
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：
Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.
4 因為法律的終向是基督，使凡信祂的人獲得正義。
For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.
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 says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.
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 the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares, "'Who shall ascend to Heaven?'" --that is, to bring Christ down;
"nor 'Who shall go down into the abyss?'" --that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave. (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 does it say? "The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;" that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith--
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，
that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.
10 因為心裏相信，可使人成義；口裏承認，可使人獲得救恩。
For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.
11 經上又說：『凡相信祂的人，不致蒙羞。』
The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him shall have reason to feel 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。
Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance.
13 的確，『凡呼號上主名號的人，必然獲救。』
For "every one, without exception, who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
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 are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without 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 are men to preach unless they have been sent to do so? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good!"
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, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks, "Lord, who has believed the Message they have heard from us?"
17 所以信仰是出於報道，報道是出於基督的命令。
And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.
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 ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed: "To the whole world the preachers' voices have sounded forth, and their words to the remotest parts of the earth."
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 again, did Israel fail to understand? Listen to Moses first. He says, "I will fire you with jealousy against a nation which is no nation, and with fury against a nation devoid of understanding."
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。』
And Isaiah, with strange boldness, exclaims, "I have been found by those who were not looking for Me, I have revealed Myself to those who were not inquiring of 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。』
While as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out My arms to a self-willed and fault-finding people."
