¹Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

¹Murhe phral, mange drago sa murhe ilesa, ai so mangav katar O Del le Zhidovonge si te aven skepime.

²For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

²Ke sai mothav pa lende ke sa penge ilesa mangen te keren buchi le Devleske, numa bi gojako.

³For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

³Ke chi haliarde sar O Del kerel le manushen te aven vorta angla leste, ai won rode te keren pengo zakono te aven vorta, ai kadia chi manglia te keren sar O Del kerel andal manush vorta.

⁴For Christ is the fulfillment or, completion, or end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

⁴Ke o Kristosi kai getolpe o zakono te kerel te aven vorta angla Del kodola kai pachanpe.

⁵For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

⁵Eta so o Moses ramosardia pa sar sai te aves vorta angla Del trobul te les tu pala zokono, o manush kai lela pe pala zakono traiila katar kodo zakono.

⁶But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ Deuteronomy 30:12 (that is, to bring Christ down);

⁶Numa eta, sar si phendo te sai aves vorta angla Del pala pachamos: na phen ande cho ilo, kon zhala ando rhaio?

⁷or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ Deuteronomy 30:13 (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”

⁷Kodia si te keres te hulel o Kristo. Ai chi na phen, kon zhala ande iado? Kodia si te keres te avel o Kristo palpale katar le mule.

⁸But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart”; Deuteronomy 30:14 that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

⁸So mothol kacha? E vorba pashe tute la ande cho mui, ai ande cho ilo:

⁹that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

⁹kodia vorba si e viasta le pachamoski kai phenas, anda cho mui mothos angla savorhenge ke O Jesus si O Del, ai te pachasa tu ande cho ilo ke O Del andia les katar e martia ka traio, avesa skipime.

¹⁰For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

¹⁰Ke o manush pachalpe ande pesko ilo, ai O Del kerel les te avel vorta angla leste; o manush mothol peske muiesa, ai O Del skepil les.

¹¹For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

¹¹Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, kon godi pachalape ando Del chi avela leske lazhav.

¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.

¹²Le Zhiduvuria ai kodola kai Nai Zhiduvuria saikfialo le, savorhe si le iek Del kai del pesko mishtimos ka sa kodola kai akharen les.

¹³For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Joel 2:32

¹³Kon godi kai akharel po anav le Devlesko avela skepime.

¹⁴How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴Numa sar te akharena pe kodo kai chi pachaiepe ande leste? Ai sar te pachanpe ande kodo kai chi ashunde pa leste? Ai sar te ashunen pa leste kana nai khonik te mothol pa leste?

¹⁵And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Isaiah 52:7

¹⁵Ai sar te avel manush kai den duma pa Del, te na avena tradine? Che shukar le punrhe kodolenge kai mothon pai pacha, ai kodola kai anen e lashi viasta!

¹⁶But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isaiah 53:1

¹⁶Numa chi linepe savorhe palai lashi viasta. o Esaiah mothol, "Devla, kon pachaiepe kana diam duma pa tute?"

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

¹⁷No antunchi o pachamos avel katar so ashunes, ai so ashunes avel katar E Vorba le Devleske.

¹⁸But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” Psalm 19:4

¹⁸Numa me mothav, pate zhi ashunde e lashi viasta? E, ashunde la, lenge vorba ashundili pe sa e lumia.

¹⁹But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, with a nation void of understanding I will make you angry.” Deuteronomy 32:31

¹⁹Numa me mothav, pate le Zhiduvuria chi zhanenas? o Moses o pervo phendia, kerava te avel tume xoli pe kodola kai nai chacho them, kerava te xolavon pek them kai nai gojaver.

²⁰Isaiah is very bold, and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.” Isaiah 65:1

²⁰O Esaiah tromal te mothol mai but, "Arakhlema kodola kai chi rodenas ma; sikadilem kodolenge kai chi mangenas mandar kanchi.

²¹But as to Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” Isaiah 65:2

²¹Numa le Zhidovonge mothol, sorho dies vazdem le vas karing iek narodo kai chi pachal o mui ai kai chi mangen.
