Romans 10

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.

1 弟兄姊妹，我心里切望并向上帝祈求的，就是以色列人能够得救。

2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

2 我可以作证：他们对上帝有热心，但不是基于真知。

3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

3 因为他们不知道上帝的义，想努力建立自己的义，不肯服从上帝的义。

4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

4 其实基督是律法的终极目的，使所有相信的人都可以得到义。

5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

5 关于律法的义，摩西写道：“遵行律法的人必因此而活。”

6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

6 但是关于以信心为本的义，圣经上说：“不要心里说，‘谁要升到天上去呢？’ 意思是谁要把基督领下来，

7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

7 或说，‘谁要下到阴间去呢？’ 意思是谁要把基督从死人中领上来。”

8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

8 其实这里是说：“这话语近在咫尺，就在你口里，在你心中。” 这话语就是我们所传的信主之道。

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

9 你若口里承认耶稣是主，心里相信上帝使祂从死里复活，就必得救。

10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

10 因为人心里相信就可以被称为义人，口里承认就可以得救。

11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

11 圣经上说：“信靠祂的人必不会蒙羞。”

12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

12 犹太人和希腊人并没有分别，主是所有人的主，祂厚待所有求告祂的人，

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

13 因为“凡求告主名的人都必得救” 。

14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?

14 可是，人还没信祂，怎能求告祂呢？还没听说过祂，怎能信祂呢？没有人传道，怎能听说过祂呢？

15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

15 人没有受差遣，怎能传道呢？正如圣经上说：“那传福音之人的脚踪是何等佳美！”

16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

16 只是并非人人都信福音，就像以赛亚先知所说的：“主啊！谁相信我们所传的呢？”

17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

17 由此可见，听了道，才会信道；有了基督的话，才有道可听。

18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

18 但我要问，以色列人没有听过吗？当然听过。因为 “他们的声音传遍天下， 他们的话语传到地极。”

19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”

19 我再问，难道以色列人不知道吗？首先，摩西说： “我要借无名之民挑起你们的嫉妒， 用愚昧的国民激起你们的怒气。”

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.”

20 后来，以赛亚先知又放胆地说： “我让没有寻找我的人寻见， 我向没有求问我的人显现。”

21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

21 至于以色列人，他说： “我整天伸出双手招呼那悖逆顽固的子民。”
