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].
Irmãos, o desejo do meu coração e minha oração a Deus é por Israel, para que eles possam ser salvos.
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].
Pois eu testemunho sobre eles que eles têm um zelo por Deus, mas não de acordo com o conhecimento.
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.
Por ignorarem a justiça de Deus e procurarem estabelecer sua própria justiça, eles não se sujeitaram à justiça de Deus.
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].
Pois Cristo é o cumprimento da lei de justiça para todo aquele que crê.
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.”
Para Moisés escreve sobre a justiça da lei: “Aquele que as faz viverá por elas”.
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]!
Mas a justiça que é da fé diz o seguinte: “Não digas em teu coração: 'Quem subirá ao céu? (isto é, para fazer descer Cristo);
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, 'Quem descerá ao abismo?'. (isto é, para ressuscitar Cristo dos mortos.)” (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].
Mas o que diz? “A palavra está perto de você, em sua boca e em seu coração;” ou seja, a palavra de fé que pregamos:
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}.
que se confessares com tua boca que Jesus é Senhor e creres em teu coração que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, serás salvo”.
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.
Pois com o coração se crê resultando em justiça; e com a boca se faz a confissão resultando em salvação.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Pois a Escritura diz: “Quem crê nele não ficará desapontado”.
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].
Pois não há distinção entre judeu e grego; pois o mesmo Senhor é Senhor de todos, e é rico para todos os que o invocam.
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}.”
Pois, “Quem invocar o nome do Senhor será salvo”.
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]
Como então invocarão aquele em quem não acreditaram? Como acreditarão Aquele em quem não ouviram? Como ouvirão sem um pregador?
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!’”
E como pregarão a menos que sejam enviados? Como está escrito: “Quão belos são os pés daqueles que pregam a Boa Nova da paz”, que trazem boas notícias de coisas boas”!
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]”
Mas nem todos ouviram as boas notícias. Para Isaías diz: “Senhor, quem acreditou em nosso relatório?”.
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!
Então a fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela palavra de Deus.
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]!
Mas eu digo, eles não ouviram? Sim, com toda certeza, “O som deles saiu por toda a terra, suas palavras até os confins do mundo”.
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].
Mas eu pergunto, Israel não sabia? Primeiro diz Moisés, “Vou provocá-los a ciúmes com aquilo que não é uma nação”. Vou deixá-lo zangado com uma nação vazia de entendimento”.
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!
Isaías é muito ousado e diz, “Fui encontrado por aqueles que não me procuraram. Fui revelado àqueles que não perguntaram por mim”.
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.
Mas sobre Israel ele diz: “Todo o dia estendi minhas mãos a um povo desobediente e contrário”.
