Romanos 10
1 Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.
Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;
2 Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod æmulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.
For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, —but not according to correct knowledge;
3 Ignorantes enim iustitiam Dei, et suam quærentes statuere, iustitiæ Dei non sunt subiecti.
For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;
4 Finis enim legis, Christus, ad iustitiam omni credenti.
For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.
5 Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam iustitiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.
For, Moses, writeth that—as touching the righteousness that is by law, The man that hath done [it], shall live thereby;
6 Quæ autem ex fide est iustitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: quis ascendet in cælum? id est, Christum deducere:
Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh—Do not say in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring, Christ, down,
Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up, Christ, from among the dead; (Abyssos g12)
8 Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod prædicamus.
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 Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Iesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.
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 Corde enim creditur ad iustitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.
For, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation.
11 Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis, qui credit in illum, non confundetur.
For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?
12 Non enim est distinctio Iudæi, et Græci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes, qui invocant illum.
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 Omnis enim, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: —
14 Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? Aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? Quomodo autem audient sine prædicante?
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 Quomodo vero prædicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!
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 Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine quis credidit auditui nostro?
But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?
17 Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.
Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.
18 Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
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 Sed dico: Numquid Israel non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad æmulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.
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 Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quærentibus me: palam apparui iis, qui me non interrogabant.
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 Ad Israel autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem.
Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith—All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
