¹Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;

¹ܐܚܝ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܠܒܝ ܘܒܥܘܬܝ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܠܦܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܀

²for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

²ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܛܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܘ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܀

³for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

³ܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܘ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܢܩܝܡܘܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܀

⁴For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

⁴ܤܟܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܠܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܟܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܀

⁵for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,`

⁵ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܒ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܚܐ ܒܗܝܢ ܀

⁶and 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?

⁶ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܒܠܒܟ ܕܡܢܘ ܤܠܩ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܚܬ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁷or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,` that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.

⁷ܘܡܢܘ ܢܚܬ ܠܬܗܘܡܐ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܘܐܤܩ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

⁸But 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;

⁸ܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘ ܠܟ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܦܘܡܟ ܘܠܠܒܟ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܟܪܙܝܢܢ ܀

⁹that 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,

⁹ܘܐܢ ܬܘܕܐ ܒܦܘܡܟ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܬܗܝܡܢ ܒܠܒܟ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܬܚܐ ܀

¹⁰for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

¹⁰ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܡܙܕܕܩ ܘܦܘܡܐ ܕܡܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܚܝܐ ܀

¹¹for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,`

¹¹ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܟܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ ܀

¹²for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,

¹²ܘܒܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܦܪܫ ܠܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܪ ܒܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܀

¹³for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.`

¹³ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܐ ܀

¹⁴How 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?

¹⁴ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܩܪܘܢ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܡܥܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܟܪܙܢܐ ܀

¹⁵and 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!`

¹⁵ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܟܪܙܘܢ ܐܢ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܠܚܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܡܐ ܝܐܝܢ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܝ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܕܡܤܒܪܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܀

¹⁶But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?`

¹⁶ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢ ܠܒܪܬ ܩܠܢ ܀

¹⁷so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

¹⁷ܡܟܝܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܡܥ ܐܕܢܐ ܗܝ ܘܡܫܡܥ ܐܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁸but 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.`

¹⁸ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܗܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܒܪܬ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܘܒܤܘܦܝܗ ܕܬܒܝܠ ܡܠܝܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁹But 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,`

¹⁹ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܛܢܟܘܢ ܒܥܡ ܕܠܐ ܥܡ ܘܒܥܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤ ܐܪܓܙܟܘܢ ܀

²⁰and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, `I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;`

²⁰ܐܫܥܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܚ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܐܬܚܙܝܬ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܒܥܐܘܢܝ ܘܐܫܬܟܚܬ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܐܠܘ ܀

²¹and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.`

²¹ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܦܫܛܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܝܘܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܐ ܕܡܬܚܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤ ܀
