10 Mga utod, dako gid ang akon handom nga ang akon mga kapareho nga mga Judio maluwas, kag ini ginapangamuyo ko sa Dios. Makapamatuod ako nga mapisan sila sa pag-alagad sa Dios, pero indi suno sa kamatuoran. Kay wala sila kahibalo sang paagi sang Dios kon paano niya ginapakamatarong ang tawo. Ang ila ginahimo, nagatinguha sila sa ila kaugalingon nga paagi kag wala nila ginasunod ang paagi sang Dios. Wala sila makaintiendi nga ang Kasuguan hasta lang kay Cristo, kay paagi sa ginhimo ni Cristo, ang tagsa-tagsa nga nagatuo sa iya amo lang ang ginapakamatarong.

Ang Kaluwasan Para sa Tanan

Amo ini ang ginsulat ni Moises parte sa pagpakamatarong paagi sa pagtuman sang Kasuguan: “Ang tawo nga nagatuman sang Kasuguan makaangkon sang kabuhi.”[a] Pero amo ini ang ginasiling sa Kasulatan parte sa pagpakamatarong paagi sa pagtuo: “Indi ka magsiling sa imo kaugalingon, ‘Sin-o bala ang mapa-langit?’ ” (kon sayuron, sa pagdala kay Cristo paidalom). “Indi ka man magsiling, ‘Sin-o ang magpanaog sa kadadalman sang duta?’ ” (kon sayuron, sa pagdala kay Cristo paibabaw halin sa mga patay). Kundi nagasiling man ang Kasulatan,

“Ara ina nga mga pulong sa inyo, sa inyo mismo baba kag tagipusuon.”[b]

Kag ining pulong sang Dios wala sing iban kundi ang parte sa pagtuo nga amon ginawali: nga kon isugid mo nga si Jesus amo ang Ginoo kag nagatuo ka sa imo tagipusuon nga ginbanhaw siya sang Dios halin sa kamatayon, maluwas ka. 10 Kay ang tawo ginapakamatarong sang Dios kon nagatuo siya sing hugot sa iya tagipusuon. Kag kon magsugid siya nga nagatuo siya, maluwas siya. 11 Kay nagasiling ang Kasulatan, “Ang nagatuo sa iya indi gid mahuy-an.”[c] 12 Kag ini nga promisa para sa tanan, Judio man ukon indi Judio, tungod nga ang Ginoo, Ginoo sang tanan, kag nagahatag siya sing bugana nga pagpakamaayo sa tanan nga nagadangop sa iya. 13 Kay nagasiling ang Kasulatan, “Ang bisan sin-o nga magdangop sa Ginoo maluwas.”[d]

14 Pero paano ang pagdangop nila sa iya kon wala sila magtuo? Kag paano sila makatuo sa iya kon wala sila makabati parte sa iya? Kag paano sila makabati kon wala sing may magsugid sa ila? 15 Kag paano makalakat kag makasugid ang mga mensahero kon wala sila ginsugo? Suno sa Kasulatan, “Daw ano kanami kon makita mo ang mga mensahero nga nagadala sang maayong balita.”[e] 16 Pero indi ang tanan nagbaton sang Maayong Balita. Pareho sang ginsiling ni Isaias, “Ginoo, sin-o bala ang nagpati sa amon mensahi?”[f] 17 Karon makasiling kita nga ang tawo magatuo lang kay Cristo kon makabati siya sang mensahi parte sa iya. Kag ining mensahi mabatian lang kon may ara nga magtudlo sini. 18 Karon, nakabati bala ang mga Israelinhon sang sini nga mensahi? Indi mahimo nga wala sila nakabati. Kay nagasiling ang Kasulatan, “Ang ila mensahi nagalambot sa bug-os nga kalibutan; nagalapnag ini sa bisan diin nga lugar.”[g] 19 Ti ano, wala bala sila nakaintiendi? Indi mahimo nga wala sila nakaintiendi. Kay sa ginsulat ni Moises nagsiling ang Dios sa ila, “Paimunon ko kamo sa iban nga nasyon. Paakigon ko kamo paagi sa pagpakamaayo sa buang-buang nga nasyon.”[h] 20 Naghambal man ang Dios sa ila paagi kay Isaias. Kag sang paghambal sini ni Isaias wala gid siya nahadlok sa mga tawo,

“Nakita ako sang mga tawo nga wala nagapangita sa akon.
Nagpakilala ako sa ila bisan wala sila nagapamangkot parte sa akon.”[i]

21 Pero parte sa mga Israelinhon nagsiling siya, “Sige ang akon paabot nga magbalik sa akon ang akon katawhan nga mga matig-a sing ulo kag mga malalison.”[j]

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)

Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g](V)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[i](AA)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)

20 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.”[k](AD)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l](AE)

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

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

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

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

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

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

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

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

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

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

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
