¹Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

¹ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ የልቤ በጎ ፈቃድና ስለ እስራኤል ወደ እግዚአብሔር ልመናዬ እንዲድኑ ነው።

²For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

²በእውቀት አይቅኑ እንጂ ለእግዚአብሔር እንዲቀኑ እመሰክርላቸዋለሁና።

³For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

³የእግዚአብሔርን ጽድቅ ሳያውቁ የራሳቸውንም ጽድቅ ሊያቆሙ ሲፈልጉ፥ ለእግዚአብሔር ጽድቅ አልተገዙም።

⁴For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

⁴የሚያምኑ ሁሉ ይጸድቁ ዘንድ ክርስቶስ የሕግ ፍጻሜ ነውና።

⁵For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

⁵ሙሴ ከሕግ የሆነውን ጽድቅ የሚያደርገው ሰው በእርሱ በሕይወት እንዲኖር ጽፎአልና።

⁶But 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:)

⁶ከእምነት የሆነ ጽድቅ ግን እንዲህ ይላል። በልብህ። ማን ወደ ሰማይ ይወጣል? አትበል፤ ይህ ክርስቶስን ለማውረድ ነው፤

⁷Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

⁷ወይም። በልብህ። ወደ ጥልቁ ማን ይወርዳል? አትበል፤ ይህ ክርስቶስን ከሙታን ለማውጣት ነው።

⁸But 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;

⁸ነገር ግን ምን ይላል? በአፍህ በልብህም ሆኖ ቃሉ ቀርቦልሃል፤ ይህም የምንሰብከው የእምነት ቃል ነው።

⁹That 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.

⁹ኢየሱስ ጌታ እንደ ሆነ በአፍህ ብትመሰክር እግዚአብሔርም ከሙታን እንዳስነሣው በልብህ ብታምን ትድናለህና፤

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

¹⁰ሰው በልቡ አምኖ ይጸድቃልና በአፉም መስክሮ ይድናልና።

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

¹¹መጽሐፍ። በእርሱ የሚያምን ሁሉ አያፍርም ይላልና።

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

¹²በአይሁዳዊና በግሪክ ሰው መካከል ልዩነት የለምና፤ አንዱ ጌታ የሁሉ ጌታ ነውና፥ ለሚጠሩትም ሁሉ ባለ ጠጋ ነው፤

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

¹³የጌታን ስም የሚጠራ ሁሉ ይድናልና።

¹⁴How 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?

¹⁴እንግዲህ ያላመኑበትን እንዴት አድርገው ይጠሩታል? ባልሰሙትስ እንዴት ያምናሉ? ያለ ሰባኪስ እንዴት ይሰማሉ?

¹⁵And 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!

¹⁵መልካሙን የምሥራች የሚያወሩ እግሮቻቸው እንዴት ያማሩ ናቸው ተብሎ እንደ ተጻፈ ካልተላኩ እንዴት ይሰብካሉ?

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

¹⁶ነገር ግን ሁሉ ለምሥራቹ ቃል አልታዘዙም። ኢሳይያስ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ ምስክርነታችንን ማን አመነ? ብሎአልና።

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

¹⁷እንግዲያስ እምነት ከመስማት ነው መስማትም በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ነው።

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

¹⁸ዳሩ ግን። ባይሰሙ ነው ወይ? እላለሁ። በእውነት። ድምፃቸው በምድር ሁሉ ላይ ቃላቸውም እስከ ዓለም ዳርቻ ወጣ።

¹⁹But 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.

¹⁹ነገር ግን። እስራኤል ባያውቁ ነው ወይ? እላለሁ። ሙሴ አስቀድሞ። እኔ ሕዝብ በማይሆነው አስቀናችኋለሁ በማያስተውልም ሕዝብ አስቆጣችኋለሁ

²⁰But 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.

²⁰ብሎአል። ኢሳይያስም ደፍሮ። ላልፈለጉኝ ተገኘሁ፥ ላልጠየቁኝም ተገለጥሁ አለ።

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

²¹ስለ እስራኤል ግን። ቀኑን ሁሉ ወደማይታዘዝና ወደሚቃወም ሕዝብ እጆቼን ዘረጋሁ ይላል።
