romiṇaḥ 10

1 he bhrātara isrāyelīyalokā yat paritrāṇaṁ prāpnuvanti tadahaṁ manasābhilaṣan īśvarasya samīpe prārthaye|

Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;

2 yata īśvare teṣāṁ ceṣṭā vidyata ityatrāhaṁ sākṣyasmi; kintu teṣāṁ sā ceṣṭā sajñānā nahi,

for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

3 yatasta īśvaradattaṁ puṇyam avijñāya svakṛtapuṇyaṁ sthāpayitum ceṣṭamānā īśvaradattasya puṇyasya nighnatvaṁ na svīkurvvanti|

for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

4 khrīṣṭa ekaikaviśvāsijanāya puṇyaṁ dātuṁ vyavasthāyāḥ phalasvarūpo bhavati|

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,

5 vyavasthāpālanena yat puṇyaṁ tat mūsā varṇayāmāsa, yathā, yo janastāṁ pālayiṣyati sa taddvārā jīviṣyati|

for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”

6 kintu pratyayena yat puṇyaṁ tad etādṛśaṁ vākyaṁ vadati, kaḥ svargam āruhya khrīṣṭam avarohayiṣyati?

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)

7 ko vā pretalokam avaruhya khrīṣṭaṁ mṛtagaṇamadhyād āneṣyatīti vāk manasi tvayā na gaditavyā| (Abyssos g12)

or, “Who will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of the dead). (Abyssos g12)

8 tarhi kiṁ bravīti? tad vākyaṁ tava samīpastham arthāt tava vadane manasi cāste, tacca vākyam asmābhiḥ pracāryyamāṇaṁ viśvāsasya vākyameva|

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 vastutaḥ prabhuṁ yīśuṁ yadi vadanena svīkaroṣi, tatheśvarastaṁ śmaśānād udasthāpayad iti yadyantaḥkaraṇena viśvasiṣi tarhi paritrāṇaṁ lapsyase|

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 yasmāt puṇyaprāptyartham antaḥkaraṇena viśvasitavyaṁ paritrāṇārthañca vadanena svīkarttavyaṁ|

for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

11 śāstre yādṛśaṁ likhati viśvasiṣyati yastatra sa jano na trapiṣyate|

for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”

12 ityatra yihūdini tadanyaloke ca kopi viśeṣo nāsti yasmād yaḥ sarvveṣām advitīyaḥ prabhuḥ sa nijayācakāna sarvvān prati vadānyo bhavati|

for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,

13 yataḥ, yaḥ kaścit parameśasya nāmnā hi prārthayiṣyate| sa eva manujo nūnaṁ paritrāto bhaviṣyati|

for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”

14 yaṁ ye janā na pratyāyan te tamuddiśya kathaṁ prārthayiṣyante? ye vā yasyākhyānaṁ kadāpi na śrutavantaste taṁ kathaṁ pratyeṣyanti? aparaṁ yadi pracārayitāro na tiṣṭhanti tadā kathaṁ te śroṣyanti?

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 yadi vā preritā na bhavanti tadā kathaṁ pracārayiṣyanti? yādṛśaṁ likhitam āste, yathā, māṅgalikaṁ susaṁvādaṁ dadatyānīya ye narāḥ| pracārayanti śānteśca susaṁvādaṁ janāstu ye| teṣāṁ caraṇapadmāni kīdṛk śobhānvitāni hi|

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 kintu te sarvve taṁ susaṁvādaṁ na gṛhītavantaḥ| yiśāyiyo yathā likhitavān| asmatpracārite vākye viśvāsamakaroddhi kaḥ|

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”

17 ataeva śravaṇād viśvāsa aiśvaravākyapracārāt śravaṇañca bhavati|

So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

18 tarhyahaṁ bravīmi taiḥ kiṁ nāśrāvi? avaśyam aśrāvi, yasmāt teṣāṁ śabdo mahīṁ vyāpnod vākyañca nikhilaṁ jagat|

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 aparamapi vadāmi, isrāyelīyalokāḥ kim etāṁ kathāṁ na budhyante? prathamato mūsā idaṁ vākyaṁ provāca, ahamuttāpayiṣye tān agaṇyamānavairapi| klekṣyāmi jātim etāñca pronmattabhinnajātibhiḥ|

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 aparañca yiśāyiyo'tiśayākṣobheṇa kathayāmāsa, yathā, adhi māṁ yaistu nāceṣṭi samprāptastai rjanairahaṁ| adhi māṁ yai rna sampṛṣṭaṁ vijñātastai rjanairahaṁ||

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 kintvisrāyelīyalokān adhi kathayāñcakāra, yairājñālaṅghibhi rlokai rviruddhaṁ vākyamucyate| tān pratyeva dinaṁ kṛtsnaṁ hastau vistārayāmyahaṁ||

and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
