Romans 10
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.
ʻE Kāinga, ko e holi ʻa hoku loto, mo ʻeku lotu ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
2 For I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fai feinga ki he ʻOtua, ka ʻoku ʻikai taau mo e poto.
3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ki he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻa nau ʻalu fano ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻanautolu, kuo ʻikai ai ke fakavaivai ʻakinautolu ki he fakatonuhia mei he ʻOtua.
4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
He ko e fakahaohaoa ʻoe fono ʻa Kalaisi ki he fakatonuhia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.
He ʻoku fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fakatonuhia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fono, “Ko e tangata ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe moʻui ai ia.”
6 But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down.)
Ka ko e fakatonuhia ʻoku ʻi he tui ʻoku lea ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko hai te ne ʻalu hake ki he langi?” (Ko e pehē, ke ʻohifo ʻa Kalaisi: )
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
pe, “Ko hai te ne ʻalu hifo ki he loloto?” (Ko e pehē, ke ʻohake ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate.) (Abyssos g12)
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:
Ka ʻoku pehē ia ko e hā? “ʻOku ofi ʻae lea kiate koe, ʻi ho ngutu, pea ʻi ho loto:” ʻaia ko e lea ʻoe tui, ʻoku mau malangaʻaki;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Koeʻuhi kapau te ke fakahā ʻaki ho ngutu ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, pea ke tui ʻi ho loto kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate, ʻe fakamoʻui koe.
10 For with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
He ʻoku tui ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae loto ki he fakatonuhia; pea ʻoku fakahā ʻaki ʻae ngutu ʻae fakamoʻui.
11 For the scripture saith, whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
He ʻoku pehē ʻae tohi, “Ko ia ia ʻe tui kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai mā ia.”
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all, is rich to all that call upon him,
He ʻoku ʻikai ha fai kehekehe ki he Siu mo e Kiliki: he ko e ʻEiki pe ko ia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoku mohu [angalelei ]ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ui kiate ia.
13 For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
“He ko ia ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”
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?
Kae fēfē ʻenau ui kiate ia naʻe ʻikai te nau tui ki ai? Pea fēfē ʻenau tui kiate ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki ai? Pea fēfē ʻenau fanongo taʻehataha ʻe malanga?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things?
Pea fēfē ʻenau malanga, ʻoka ʻikai fekau atu ʻakinautolu? ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Hono ʻikai fakaʻofoʻofa ʻae vaʻe ʻokinautolu ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe melino, pea ʻomi ʻae ongoongo fiefia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Ka kuo ʻikai te nau talangofua kotoa pē ki he ongoongolelei. He ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “ʻEiki, Ko hai kuo tui ki heʻemau ongoongoa?”
17 So then, faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Ko ia, ʻoku mei he fanongo ʻae tui, mo e fanongo mei he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Ka ʻoku ou pehē, “ʻIkai kuo nau fanongo? ʻIo ko e moʻoni kuo aʻu atu ʻenau fakaongo ki he fonua kotoa pē, pea mo e nau lea ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
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.
Ka ʻoku ou pehē, ʻIkai naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻIsileli? [He ]ʻoku fuofua lea ʻa Mōsese, “Te u fakafuaʻa ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kakai, pea te u fakaʻitaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae puleʻanga vale.”
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for me.
Ka ʻoku lea mālohi lahi ʻa ʻIsaia ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻiloʻi au ʻekinautolu naʻe ʻikai kumi kiate au; kuo fakahā au kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fehuʻi kiate au.”
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Ka ʻoku pehē ʻene lea ki ʻIsileli, “Ko e ʻaho kātoa kuo u mafao atu hoku nima ki he kakai talangataʻa mo angatuʻu.”
