Lettera ai Romani 10

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei et obsecratio ad Deum pro illis insalutem.	1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God on their behalf is for salvation.
2 Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod aemulationem Dei habent sed nonsecundum scientiam;	2 I testify with regard to them that they have zeal for God, but it is not discerning.
3 ignorantes enim Dei iustitiam et suam iustitiam quaerentesstatuere, iustitiae Dei non sunt subiecti;	3 For, in their unawareness of the righteousness that comes from God and their attempt to establish their own (righteousness), they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4 finis enim legis Christus adiustitiam omni credenti.	4 For Christ is the end of the law for the justification of everyone who has faith.
5 Moyses enim scribit de iustitia, quae ex lege est: “ Qui fecerit homo, vivetin eis ”.	5 Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from (the) law, "The one who does these things will live by them."
6 Quae autem ex fide est iustitia, sic dicit: “ Ne dixeris incorde tuo: Quis ascendet in caelum?”, id est Christum deducere;	6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 aut: “Quis descendet in abyssum? ”, hoc est Christum ex mortuis revocare.	7 or 'Who will go down into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."
8 Sed quiddicit? “ Prope te est verbum, in ore tuo et in corde tuo ”; hoc est verbumfidei, quod praedicamus.	8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we preach),
9 Quia si confitearis in ore tuo: “ Dominum Iesum!”, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum excitavit ex mortuis, salvuseris.	9 for, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Corde enim creditur ad iustitiam, ore autem confessio fit in salutem.	10 For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
11 Dicit enim Scriptura: “ Omnis, qui credit in illo, non confundetur ”.	11 For the scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."
12 Non enim est distinctio Iudaei et Graeci, nam idem Dominus omnium, dives inomnes, qui invocant illum:	12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching all who call upon him.
13 Omnis enim, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.	13 For "everyone who calls 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?	14 But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
15 Quomodo veropraedicabunt nisi mittantur? Sicut scriptum est: “ Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium bona ”.	15 And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring (the) good news!"
16 Sed non omnes oboedierunt evangelio; Isaias enim dicit: “ Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? ”.	16 But not everyone has heeded the good news; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what was heard from us?"
17 Ergo fides ex auditu, auditusautem per verbum Christi.	17 Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
18 Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Quin immo, in omnem terram exiit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.	18 But I ask, did they not hear? Certainly they did; for "Their voice has gone forth to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
19 Sed dico: Numquid Israel non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: “ Ego ad aemulationem vos adducam per Non gentem: per gentem insipientem ad iram vos provocabo ”.	19 But I ask, did not Israel understand? First Moses says: "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will make you angry."
20 Isaias autem audet et dicit: “ Inventus sum in non quaerentibus me; palamapparui his, qui me non interrogabant ”.	20 Then Isaiah speaks boldly and says: "I was found (by) those who were not seeking me; I revealed myself to those who were not asking for me."
21 Ad Israel autem dicit: “ Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum noncredentem et contradicentem ”.	21 But regarding Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contentious people."
