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

¹Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.

²በእውቀት አይቅኑ እንጂ ለእግዚአብሔር እንዲቀኑ እመሰክርላቸዋለሁና።

²For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

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

³For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

⁴የሚያምኑ ሁሉ ይጸድቁ ዘንድ ክርስቶስ የሕግ ፍጻሜ ነውና።

⁴For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.

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

⁵For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

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

⁶But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

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

⁷or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead.

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

⁸But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

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

⁹that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.

¹⁰ሰው በልቡ አምኖ ይጸድቃልና በአፉም መስክሮ ይድናልና።

¹⁰For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.

¹¹መጽሐፍ። በእርሱ የሚያምን ሁሉ አያፍርም ይላልና።

¹¹For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

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

¹²For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

¹³የጌታን ስም የሚጠራ ሁሉ ይድናልና።

¹³For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

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

¹⁴How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?

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

¹⁵and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

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

¹⁶But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?

¹⁷እንግዲያስ እምነት ከመስማት ነው መስማትም በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ነው።

¹⁷So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.

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

¹⁸But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.

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

¹⁹But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, *I* will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.

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

²⁰But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.

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

²¹But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
