romiNaH 10

1 he bhrAtara isrAyelIyalokA yat paritrANaM prApnuvanti tadahaM manasAbhilaShan Ishvarasya samIpe prArthaye|

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

2 yata Ishvare teShAM cheShTA vidyata ityatrAhaM sAkShyasmi; kintu teShAM sA cheShTA saj nAnA nahi,

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

3 yatasta IshvaradattaM puNyam avij nAya svakR^itapuNyaM sthApayitum cheShTamAnA Ishvaradattasya puNyasya nighnatvaM na svIkurvvanti|

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

4 khrIShTa ekaikavishvAsijanAya puNyaM dAtuM vyavasthAyAH phalasvarUpo bhavati|

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

5 vyavasthApAlanena yat puNyaM tat mUsA varNayAmAsa, yathA, yo janastAM pAlayiShyati sa taddvArA jIviShyati|

for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'

6 kintu pratyayena yat puNyaM tad etAdR^ishaM vAkyaM vadati, kaH svargam Aruhya khrIShTam avarohayiShyati?

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

7 ko vA pretalokam avaruhya khrIShTaM mR^itagaNamadhyAd AneShyatIti vAk manasi tvayA na gaditavyA| (Abyssos g12)

or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up. (Abyssos g12)

8 tarhi kiM bravIti? tad vAkyaM tava samIpastham arthAt tava vadane manasi chAste, tachcha vAkyam asmAbhiH prachAryyamANaM vishvAsasya vAkyameva|

But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;

9 vastutaH prabhuM yIshuM yadi vadanena svIkaroShi, tatheshvarastaM shmashAnAd udasthApayad iti yadyantaHkaraNena vishvasiShi tarhi paritrANaM lapsyase|

that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

10 yasmAt puNyaprAptyartham antaHkaraNena vishvasitavyaM paritrANArtha ncha vadanena svIkarttavyaM|

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

11 shAstre yAdR^ishaM likhati vishvasiShyati yastatra sa jano na trapiShyate|

for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

12 ityatra yihUdini tadanyaloke cha kopi visheSho nAsti yasmAd yaH sarvveShAm advitIyaH prabhuH sa nijayAchakAna sarvvAn prati vadAnyo bhavati|

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

13 yataH, yaH kashchit parameshasya nAmnA hi prArthayiShyate| sa eva manujo nUnaM paritrAto bhaviShyati|

for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'

14 yaM ye janA na pratyAyan te tamuddishya kathaM prArthayiShyante? ye vA yasyAkhyAnaM kadApi na shrutavantaste taM kathaM pratyeShyanti? aparaM yadi prachArayitAro na tiShThanti tadA kathaM te shroShyanti?

How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

15 yadi vA preritA na bhavanti tadA kathaM prachArayiShyanti? yAdR^ishaM likhitam Aste, yathA, mA NgalikaM susaMvAdaM dadatyAnIya ye narAH| prachArayanti shAnteshcha susaMvAdaM janAstu ye| teShAM charaNapadmAni kIdR^ik shobhAnvitAni hi|

and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath 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 taM susaMvAdaM na gR^ihItavantaH| yishAyiyo yathA likhitavAn| asmatprachArite vAkye vishvAsamakaroddhi kaH|

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

17 ataeva shravaNAd vishvAsa aishvaravAkyaprachArAt shravaNa ncha bhavati|

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

18 tarhyahaM bravImi taiH kiM nAshrAvi? avashyam ashrAvi, yasmAt teShAM shabdo mahIM vyApnod vAkya ncha nikhilaM jagat|

but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'

19 aparamapi vadAmi, isrAyelIyalokAH kim etAM kathAM na budhyante? prathamato mUsA idaM vAkyaM provAcha, ahamuttApayiShye tAn agaNyamAnavairapi| klekShyAmi jAtim etA ncha pronmattabhinnajAtibhiH|

But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'

20 apara ncha yishAyiyo. atishayAkShobheNa kathayAmAsa, yathA, adhi mAM yaistu nAcheShTi samprAptastai rjanairahaM| adhi mAM yai rna sampR^iShTaM vij nAtastai rjanairahaM||

and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'

21 kintvisrAyelIyalokAn adhi kathayA nchakAra, yairAj nAla Nghibhi rlokai rviruddhaM vAkyamuchyate| tAn pratyeva dinaM kR^itsnaM hastau vistArayAmyahaM||

and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
