Romana 10
1 Ry rahalahy, ny irin’ ny foko sy ny angatahiko amin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ireny dia famonjena.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
2 Fa vavolombelon’ ireny aho fa mazoto ho an’ Andriamanitra izy, saingy tsy araka ny fahalalana.
For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
3 Fa satria tsy nahalala ny fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitra izy ka nitady hanamarina ny tenany, dia tsy nanaiky ny fahamarinana avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
4 Fa Kristy no faran’ ny lalàna ho fahamarinana ho an’ izay rehetra mino.
For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Fa Mosesy nanoratra milaza fa izay olona manao ny fahamarinana avy amin’ ny lalàna no ho velona amin’ izany.
For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
6 Fa ny fahamarinana izay avy amin’ ny finoana kosa manao hoe: Aza milaza ao am-ponao hoe; Iza no hiakatra any an-danitra? (dia ny hampidina an’ i Kristy izany, )
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 na: Iza no hidina any amin’ ny lalina? (dia ny hampiakatra an’ i Kristy avy any amin’ ny maty izany.) (Abyssos g12)
or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
8 Fa ahoana no lazainy? Eo akaikinao ny teny, dia eo am-bavanao sy ao am-ponao, dia ny teny ny amin’ ny finoana, izay torinay;
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
9 satria raha manaiky an’ i Jesosy ho Tompo amin’ ny vavanao ianao ary mino amin’ ny fonao fa Andriamanitra efa nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty, dia hovonjena ianao.
that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Fa amin’ ny fo no inoana hahazoana fahamarinana, ary amin’ ny vava no anekena hahazoana famonjena.
For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
11 Fa hoy ny Soratra Masìna: Tsy ho menatra izay rehetra mino Azy.
It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
12 Fa tsy misy hafa, na Jiosy na jentilisa, fa iray ihany no Tompon’ izy rehetra, sady manan-karena homeny izay rehetra miantso Ary Izy.
For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
13 Fa izay rehetra miantso ny anaran’ ny Tompo no hovonjena.
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Hataony ahoana ary no fiantso izay tsy ninoany? Ary hataony ahoana no fino izay Olona tsy reny? Ary hataony ahoana no fandre raha tsy misy mpitory?
How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
15 Ary hataony ahoana no fitory, raha tsy nirahina? araka ny voasoratra hoe: Akory ny hatsaran’ ny tongotr’ iry mitondra teny soa mahafaly!
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
16 Nefa tsy izy rehetra no nanaiky ny teny soa mahafaly. Fa hoy Isaia: Jehovah ô, iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay?
But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
17 Koa ny finoana dia avy amin’ ny tori-teny, ary ny tori-teny kosa avy amin’ ny tenin’ i Kristy.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18 Fa hoy izaho: Sao tsy nahare izy? Tsia; fa Efa nivoaka ho any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny feony, Ary izay mino Ary tsy ho menatra, Ary ny teniny hatramin’ ny faran’ izao rehetra izao.
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 Fa hoy izaho: Sao tsy nahalala ny Isiraely? Voalohany, Mosesy manao hoe: Izaho hampialona anareo amin’ izay tsy firenena, Dia amin’ ny firenena adala no hampahasosorako anareo.
I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
20 Fa sahy mihitsy Isaia ka manao hoe: Hitan’ izay tsy nitady Ahy Aho, Ary niseho tamin’ izay tsy nanontany Ahy.
And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 Fa ny amin’ ny Isiraely dia hoy izy: Mandritra ny andro no efa naninjirako ny tanako tamin’ izay firenena sady tsy manaraka no mandà.
But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
