< Romans 10 >
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to YHWH for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of YHWH, but not according to knowledge.
For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, —but not according to correct knowledge;
3 For they being ignorant of YHWH 's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of YHWH.
For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;
4 For the Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
For, Moses, writeth that—as touching the righteousness that is by law, The man that hath done [it], shall live thereby;
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring the Messiah down from above: )
Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh—Do not say in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring, Christ, down,
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up the Messiah again from the dead.) (Abyssos )
Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up, Christ, from among the dead; (Abyssos )
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
But what saith it? Near thee, is the declaration, In thy mouth and in thy heart, —that is, the declaration of the faith, which we proclaim: —
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Master Yahushua, and shalt believe in thine heart that YHWH hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
That, if thou shalt confess the declaration with thy mouth—That Jesus is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy hear—That, God, raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved; —
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Sovereign over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For there is no distinction—of Jew or Greek, —for, the same [Lord], is Lord of all, being rich unto all who call upon him;
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of YHWH shall be saved.
For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: —
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
How, then, shall men call upon one in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in one of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without one to proclaim?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? Even as it is written—How beautiful the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, YHWH, who hath believed our report?
But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of YHWH.
Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
But I say: Have they not heard? Yea indeed, —into all the earth, hath gone forth their sound, and, unto the ends of the inhabited world, their declarations.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
But I say: Hath, Israel, not come to know? First, Moses, saith—I, will provoke you to jealousy on account of a no-nation, on account of an undiscerning nation, will I make you very angry.
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Isaiah, however, waxeth daring, and saith, —I have been found by them who after me were not seeking, manifest have I become unto them who for me were not enquiring;
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith—All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
