romiNaH 10

1 he bhrAtara isrAyelIyalokA yat paritrANaM prApnuvanti tadahaM manasAbhilaSan Izvarasya samIpe prArthaye|

Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

2 yata Izvare teSAM ceSTA vidyata ityatrAhaM sAkSyasmi; kintu teSAM sA ceSTA sajJAnA nahi,

For I bear them witness, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 yatasta IzvaradattaM puNyam avijJAya svakRtapuNyaM sthApayitum ceSTamAnA Izvaradattasya puNyasya nighnatvaM na svIkurvvanti|

For they, not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

4 khrISTa ekaikavizvAsijanAya puNyaM dAtuM vyavasthAyAH phalasvarUpo bhavati|

For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth.

5 vyavasthApAlanena yat puNyaM tat mUsA varNayAmAsa, yathA, yo janastAM pAlayiSyati sa taddvArA jIviSyati|

For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it.

6 kintu pratyayena yat puNyaM tad etAdRzaM vAkyaM vadati, kaH svargam Aruhya khrISTam avarohayiSyati?

But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

7 ko vA pretalokam avaruhya khrISTaM mRtagaNamadhyAd AneSyatIti vAk manasi tvayA na gaditavyA| (Abyssos g12)

Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. (Abyssos g12)

8 tarhi kiM bravIti? tad vAkyaM tava samIpastham arthAt tava vadane manasi cAste, tacca vAkyam asmAbhiH pracAryyamANaM vizvAsasya vAkyameva|

But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

9 vastutaH prabhuM yIzuM yadi vadanena svIkaroSi, tathezvarastaM zmazAnAd udasthApayad iti yadyantaHkaraNena vizvasiSi tarhi paritrANaM lapsyase|

For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 yasmAt puNyaprAptyartham antaHkaraNena vizvasitavyaM paritrANArthaJca vadanena svIkarttavyaM|

For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

11 zAstre yAdRzaM likhati vizvasiSyati yastatra sa jano na trapiSyate|

For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded.

12 ityatra yihUdini tadanyaloke ca kopi vizeSo nAsti yasmAd yaH sarvveSAm advitIyaH prabhuH sa nijayAcakAna sarvvAn prati vadAnyo bhavati|

For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

13 yataH, yaH kazcit paramezasya nAmnA hi prArthayiSyate| sa eva manujo nUnaM paritrAto bhaviSyati|

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

14 yaM ye janA na pratyAyan te tamuddizya kathaM prArthayiSyante? ye vA yasyAkhyAnaM kadApi na zrutavantaste taM kathaM pratyeSyanti? aparaM yadi pracArayitAro na tiSThanti tadA kathaM te zroSyanti?

How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?

15 yadi vA preritA na bhavanti tadA kathaM pracArayiSyanti? yAdRzaM likhitam Aste, yathA, mAGgalikaM susaMvAdaM dadatyAnIya ye narAH| pracArayanti zAntezca susaMvAdaM janAstu ye| teSAM caraNapadmAni kIdRk zobhAnvitAni hi|

And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

16 kintu te sarvve taM susaMvAdaM na gRhItavantaH| yizAyiyo yathA likhitavAn| asmatpracArite vAkye vizvAsamakaroddhi kaH|

But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 ataeva zravaNAd vizvAsa aizvaravAkyapracArAt zravaNaJca bhavati|

Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 tarhyahaM bravImi taiH kiM nAzrAvi? avazyam azrAvi, yasmAt teSAM zabdo mahIM vyApnod vAkyaJca nikhilaM jagat|

But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

19 aparamapi vadAmi, isrAyelIyalokAH kim etAM kathAM na budhyante? prathamato mUsA idaM vAkyaM provAca, ahamuttApayiSye tAn agaNyamAnavairapi| klekSyAmi jAtim etAJca pronmattabhinnajAtibhiH|

But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20 aparaJca yizAyiyo'tizayAkSobheNa kathayAmAsa, yathA, adhi mAM yaistu nAceSTi samprAptastai rjanairahaM| adhi mAM yai rna sampRSTaM vijJAtastai rjanairahaM||

But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

21 kintvisrAyelIyalokAn adhi kathayAJcakAra, yairAjJAlaGghibhi rlokai rviruddhaM vAkyamucyate| tAn pratyeva dinaM kRtsnaM hastau vistArayAmyahaM||

But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.
