< Romans 10 >

1 My fellow believers, what I deeply desire and what I pray to God earnestly for is that he will save [my own people], [the Jews].
Mes frères, quant à la bonne affection de mon cœur, et à la prière que je fais à Dieu pour Israël, c'est qu'ils soient sauvés.
2 I declare truthfully about them that although they (zealously seek/very much want to know) God, they do not understand [how to seek/know him correctly].
Car je leur rends témoignage qu'ils ont du zèle pour Dieu, mais sans connaissance.
3 They did not (submit themselves to/accept) the way that God erases the record of people’s sins. They did not [want to] recognize [that way] because they wanted him to do it their own way.
Parce que ne connaissant point la justice de Dieu, et cherchant d'établir leur propre justice, ils ne se sont point soumis à la justice de Dieu.
4 They wanted God to erase the record of their sins [as a result of their obeying his laws. But] because of what Christ has done, it is no longer necessary for [people to obey] the laws [God gave Moses in order for the record of their sins to be erased]. Now God will erase the record of sins of everyone who trusts [in what Christ has done].
Car Christ est la fin de la Loi, en justice à tout croyant.
5 In regard to [the old] way, Moses wrote [concerning people who obey God’s] laws, “It is the people who have done [perfectly] the things [that the laws require] who will gain [eternal] life by [doing] them.”
Or Moïse décrit [ainsi] la justice qui est par la Loi, [savoir], que l'homme qui fera ces choses, vivra par elles.
6 But those whose record of sins God has erased as a result of their believing [in Christ] can say [to anyone] [PRS] [as Moses said], “You should not [critically] think inwardly, ‘(Someone will have to go up and enter heaven!/Who will go up and enter heaven?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go up and] bring Christ down [to bring the message of salvation to us]!
Mais la justice qui est par la foi, s'exprime ainsi: ne dis point en ton cœur: qui montera au Ciel? cela est ramener Christ d'en haut.
7 “Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
Ou: qui descendra dans l'abîme? cela est ramener Christ des morts. (Abyssos g12)
8 But instead, [those who believe in Christ] [PRS] can say what [RHQ] [Moses also said], “You [(sg)] can find out about [God’s] message very easily. You can speak [MTY] about it; you can think [MTY] about it.” This is the message that we proclaim, that people must believe [in Christ].
Mais que dit-elle? La parole est près de toi en ta bouche, et en ton cœur. [Or] c'est là la parole de la foi, laquelle nous prêchons.
9 [This message is that] if anyone of you confesses/says publicly that Jesus is Lord, and if you [(sg)] believe that God (caused him to become alive again after he died/raised him from the dead), you will be saved {[God] will save you}.
C'est pourquoi, si tu confesses le Seigneur Jésus de ta bouche, et que tu croies en ton cœur que Dieu l'a ressuscité des morts, tu seras sauvé.
10 If people believe [that Christ died and that God caused him to become alive again] [CHI], the result is that [God will erase the record of their sins]. And [for] those who state/declare publicly [that Jesus is their Lord], the result is that [God] will save them.
Car de cœur on croit à justice, et de bouche on fait confession à salut.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Car l'Ecriture dit: quiconque croit en lui ne sera point confus.
12 [God] treats Jews and non-Jews similarly. Because he is the same Lord for all people [who believe in him], he abundantly [blesses] all who ask him [to save them].
Parce qu'il n'y a point de différence du Juif et du Grec; car il y a un même Seigneur de tous, qui est riche envers tous ceux qui l'invoquent.
13 This is [just like what the prophet Joel wrote]: “All those who ask the Lord [God] to save them will be saved {The Lord [God] will save all those who ask him to save them}.”
Car quiconque invoquera le nom du Seigneur sera sauvé.
14 [In regard to the people of Israel rejecting the gospel, some people might object by saying], (OR, [This raises another problem about the Jews]: ) “(They certainly cannot ask [Christ to save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]!/How can they ask [Christ to help/save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot believe [in him] if they have not heard about him!/how can they believe [in him] if they have not heard about him?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]!/how can they hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]?) [RHQ]
Mais comment invoqueront-ils celui en qui ils n'ont point cru? et comment croiront-ils en celui dont ils n'ont point entendu [parler]? et comment en entendront-ils parler s'il n'y a quelqu'un qui leur prêche?
15 And those who preach to them [about Christ], (certainly cannot preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach!]/how can they preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach]?) [RHQ] [His sending messengers to them would be] just like it is written {like someone wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘The arrival [MTY] of those who preach the good message is wonderful!’”
Et comment prêchera-t-on sinon qu'il y en ait qui soient envoyés? ainsi qu'il est écrit: ô que les pieds de ceux qui annoncent la paix sont beaux, [les pieds, dis-je], de ceux qui annoncent de bonnes choses!
16 [I would reply in this way to people who say such things: God has indeed sent people to preach the message about Christ]. But not all [the people of Israel] have paid attention to the good message! [It is like what] Isaiah said [when he felt very discouraged], “Lord, it seems as if hardly anyone believed what they heard us [(exc)] preach! [RHQ]”
Mais tous n'ont pas obéi à l'Evangile; car Esaïe dit: Seigneur, qui est-ce qui a cru à notre prédication.
17 So then, [I tell you that people] are believing [in Christ] as a result of hearing [the message about him], and people are hearing [the message] as a result of [people] preaching [about] Christ!
La foi donc est de l'ouïe; et l'ouïe par la parole de Dieu.
18 But [if someone were to] ask, “Have not [the people of Israel] heard [the message about God?]” [I would reply that they] certainly [have heard it]! It is like [what is written in the Psalms], [People living] all over the world [PRS, MTY] [have seen the stars], and what they indicate [about God’s character has reached people living in] the most remote places in the world [DOU]!
Mais je demande: ne l'ont-ils point ouï? au contraire, leur voix est allée par toute la terre, et leur parole jusques aux bouts du monde.
19 But [someone might ask], “[Is it true that the people of] [MTY] Israel understood [the message about Christ]?” [I would reply that certainly they understood it, but they rejected it! Remember that] Moses was the first [one who warned the people of Israel about disobeying God. He told them that God said], [You consider that] non-Jewish groups are not nations at all [CHI]. But some of them [will believe in me, and I will bless them]. Then you will envy them. I will cause you to be angry with those people whom [you Jews think] do not understand [my ways] [IRO].
Mais je demande: Israël ne l'a-t-il point connu? Moïse le premier dit: je vous exciterai à la jalousie par celui qui n'est point peuple; je vous exciterai à la colère par une nation destituée d'intelligence.
20 Remember also [what God] said [very] boldly to Isaiah: Non-Jews who did not (try to know/seek) me will surely find me [DOU]! I will surely reveal what I am like to those who did not ask for me!
Et Esaïe s'enhardit tout à fait, et dit: j'ai été trouvé de ceux qui ne me cherchaient point, et je me suis clairement manifesté à ceux qui ne s'enquéraient point de moi.
21 But concerning [the people of] Israel, [Isaiah] tells [us that God said]: For a long time I have held out my arms to people who disobeyed and rebelled against me, [in order] to invite them to return to me.
Mais quant à Israël, il dit: j'ai tout le jour étendu mes mains vers un peuple rebelle et contredisant.
