< 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].
ਹੇ ਭ੍ਰਾਤਰ ਇਸ੍ਰਾਯੇਲੀਯਲੋਕਾ ਯਤ੍ ਪਰਿਤ੍ਰਾਣੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪ੍ਨੁਵਨ੍ਤਿ ਤਦਹੰ ਮਨਸਾਭਿਲਸ਼਼ਨ੍ ਈਸ਼੍ਵਰਸ੍ਯ ਸਮੀਪੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਰ੍ਥਯੇ|
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].
ਯਤ ਈਸ਼੍ਵਰੇ ਤੇਸ਼਼ਾਂ ਚੇਸ਼਼੍ਟਾ ਵਿਦ੍ਯਤ ਇਤ੍ਯਤ੍ਰਾਹੰ ਸਾਕ੍ਸ਼਼੍ਯਸ੍ਮਿ; ਕਿਨ੍ਤੁ ਤੇਸ਼਼ਾਂ ਸਾ ਚੇਸ਼਼੍ਟਾ ਸਜ੍ਞਾਨਾ ਨਹਿ,
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.
ਯਤਸ੍ਤ ਈਸ਼੍ਵਰਦੱਤੰ ਪੁਣ੍ਯਮ੍ ਅਵਿਜ੍ਞਾਯ ਸ੍ਵਕ੍ਰੁʼਤਪੁਣ੍ਯੰ ਸ੍ਥਾਪਯਿਤੁਮ੍ ਚੇਸ਼਼੍ਟਮਾਨਾ ਈਸ਼੍ਵਰਦੱਤਸ੍ਯ ਪੁਣ੍ਯਸ੍ਯ ਨਿਘ੍ਨਤ੍ਵੰ ਨ ਸ੍ਵੀਕੁਰ੍ੱਵਨ੍ਤਿ|
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].
ਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟ ਏਕੈਕਵਿਸ਼੍ਵਾਸਿਜਨਾਯ ਪੁਣ੍ਯੰ ਦਾਤੁੰ ਵ੍ਯਵਸ੍ਥਾਯਾਃ ਫਲਸ੍ਵਰੂਪੋ ਭਵਤਿ|
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.”
ਵ੍ਯਵਸ੍ਥਾਪਾਲਨੇਨ ਯਤ੍ ਪੁਣ੍ਯੰ ਤਤ੍ ਮੂਸਾ ਵਰ੍ਣਯਾਮਾਸ, ਯਥਾ, ਯੋ ਜਨਸ੍ਤਾਂ ਪਾਲਯਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤਿ ਸ ਤੱਦ੍ਵਾਰਾ ਜੀਵਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤਿ|
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]!
ਕਿਨ੍ਤੁ ਪ੍ਰਤ੍ਯਯੇਨ ਯਤ੍ ਪੁਣ੍ਯੰ ਤਦ੍ ਏਤਾਦ੍ਰੁʼਸ਼ੰ ਵਾਕ੍ਯੰ ਵਦਤਿ, ਕਃ ਸ੍ਵਰ੍ਗਮ੍ ਆਰੁਹ੍ਯ ਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟਮ੍ ਅਵਰੋਹਯਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤਿ?
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)

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].

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}.

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.

11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
ਸ਼ਾਸ੍ਤ੍ਰੇ ਯਾਦ੍ਰੁʼਸ਼ੰ ਲਿਖਤਿ ਵਿਸ਼੍ਵਸਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤਿ ਯਸ੍ਤਤ੍ਰ ਸ ਜਨੋ ਨ ਤ੍ਰਪਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤੇ|
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].
ਇਤ੍ਯਤ੍ਰ ਯਿਹੂਦਿਨਿ ਤਦਨ੍ਯਲੋਕੇ ਚ ਕੋਪਿ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼਼ੋ ਨਾਸ੍ਤਿ ਯਸ੍ਮਾਦ੍ ਯਃ ਸਰ੍ੱਵੇਸ਼਼ਾਮ੍ ਅਦ੍ਵਿਤੀਯਃ ਪ੍ਰਭੁਃ ਸ ਨਿਜਯਾਚਕਾਨ ਸਰ੍ੱਵਾਨ੍ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਵਦਾਨ੍ਯੋ ਭਵਤਿ|
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}.”
ਯਤਃ, ਯਃ ਕਸ਼੍ਚਿਤ੍ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ਸ੍ਯ ਨਾਮ੍ਨਾ ਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਰ੍ਥਯਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤੇ| ਸ ਏਵ ਮਨੁਜੋ ਨੂਨੰ ਪਰਿਤ੍ਰਾਤੋ ਭਵਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਤਿ|
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]
ਯੰ ਯੇ ਜਨਾ ਨ ਪ੍ਰਤ੍ਯਾਯਨ੍ ਤੇ ਤਮੁੱਦਿਸ਼੍ਯ ਕਥੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਰ੍ਥਯਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਨ੍ਤੇ? ਯੇ ਵਾ ਯਸ੍ਯਾਖ੍ਯਾਨੰ ਕਦਾਪਿ ਨ ਸ਼੍ਰੁਤਵਨ੍ਤਸ੍ਤੇ ਤੰ ਕਥੰ ਪ੍ਰਤ੍ਯੇਸ਼਼੍ਯਨ੍ਤਿ? ਅਪਰੰ ਯਦਿ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰਯਿਤਾਰੋ ਨ ਤਿਸ਼਼੍ਠਨ੍ਤਿ ਤਦਾ ਕਥੰ ਤੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੋਸ਼਼੍ਯਨ੍ਤਿ?
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!’”
ਯਦਿ ਵਾ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤਾ ਨ ਭਵਨ੍ਤਿ ਤਦਾ ਕਥੰ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰਯਿਸ਼਼੍ਯਨ੍ਤਿ? ਯਾਦ੍ਰੁʼਸ਼ੰ ਲਿਖਿਤਮ੍ ਆਸ੍ਤੇ, ਯਥਾ, ਮਾਙ੍ਗਲਿਕੰ ਸੁਸੰਵਾਦੰ ਦਦਤ੍ਯਾਨੀਯ ਯੇ ਨਰਾਃ| ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰਯਨ੍ਤਿ ਸ਼ਾਨ੍ਤੇਸ਼੍ਚ ਸੁਸੰਵਾਦੰ ਜਨਾਸ੍ਤੁ ਯੇ| ਤੇਸ਼਼ਾਂ ਚਰਣਪਦ੍ਮਾਨਿ ਕੀਦ੍ਰੁʼਕ੍ ਸ਼ੋਭਾਨ੍ਵਿਤਾਨਿ ਹਿ|
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]”
ਕਿਨ੍ਤੁ ਤੇ ਸਰ੍ੱਵੇ ਤੰ ਸੁਸੰਵਾਦੰ ਨ ਗ੍ਰੁʼਹੀਤਵਨ੍ਤਃ| ਯਿਸ਼ਾਯਿਯੋ ਯਥਾ ਲਿਖਿਤਵਾਨ੍| ਅਸ੍ਮਤ੍ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰਿਤੇ ਵਾਕ੍ਯੇ ਵਿਸ਼੍ਵਾਸਮਕਰੋੱਧਿ ਕਃ|
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!
ਅਤਏਵ ਸ਼੍ਰਵਣਾਦ੍ ਵਿਸ਼੍ਵਾਸ ਐਸ਼੍ਵਰਵਾਕ੍ਯਪ੍ਰਚਾਰਾਤ੍ ਸ਼੍ਰਵਣਞ੍ਚ ਭਵਤਿ|
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]!

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].

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!

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.
