Romanos 10
1 Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.
Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;
2 Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod aemulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.
for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
3 Ignorantes enim iustitiam Dei, et suam quaerentes statuere, iustitiae Dei non sunt subiecti.
for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4 Finis enim legis, Christus, ad iustitiam omni credenti.
For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
5 Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam iustitiam, quae ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.
for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
6 Quae autem ex fide est iustitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: quis ascendet in caelum? id est, Christum deducere:
and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to Heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down)
or, “Who will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod praedicamus.
But what does it say? “The saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach;
9 Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Iesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.
that if you may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved,
10 Corde enim creditur ad iustitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.
for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11 Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis, qui credit in illum, non confundetur.
for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
12 Non enim est distinctio Iudaei, et Graeci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes, qui invocant illum.
for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,
13 Omnis enim, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
14 Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? Aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? Quomodo autem audient sine praedicante?
How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?
15 Quomodo vero praedicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!
And how will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!”
16 Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine quis credidit auditui nostro?
But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
17 Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.
So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
18 Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.
but I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable world.”
19 Sed dico: Numquid Israel non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad aemulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.
But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,”
20 Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quaerentibus me: palam apparui iis, qui me non interrogabant.
and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
21 Ad Israel autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem mihi.
and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
