1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which {I address} to God for them is for salvation.
2 For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own {righteousness}, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is {the} end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
5 For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among {the} dead.
8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
9 that 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.
10 For with {the} heart is believed to righteousness; and with {the} mouth confession made to salvation.
11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all {is} rich towards all that call upon him.
13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
14 How 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?
15 and 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!
16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 So faith then {is} by a report, but the report by God's word.
18 But 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.
19 But 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.
20 But 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.
21 But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
1 E oku teina, ko ta toku ngakau i wawata ai, ko toku inoi hoki ki te Atua mo ratou, kia whakaorangia ratou.
2 E whakaae ana hoki ahau ki a ratou, he ngakau nui to ratou ki te Atua, otiia ehara i te mea mohio.
3 I a ratou hoki e kuware ana ki ta te Atua tika, e whai ana kia whakaukia ko to ratou ake, kihai ratou i ngohengohe ki te tika a te Atua.
4 Ko te Karaiti hoki te tukunga iho o te ture hei tika mo nga tangata whakapono katoa.
5 Kua tuhituhia hoki e Mohi, ko te tangata e whakarite ana i ta te ture tika, ka ora ia i reira.
6 Ko te kupu ia tenei o to te whakapono tika, Aua e mea i roto i tou ngakau, Ko wai hei kake ki te rangi? ara ki te tiki atu i a te Karaiti ki raro:
7 Ko wai ranei hei heke iho ki te hohonu? ara ki te tiki atu i a te Karaiti i roto i te hunga mate.
8 E pehea ana oti? E tata ana ki a koe te kupu, kei tou mangai, kei tou ngakau: ko ia tenei, ko te kupu o te whakapono e kauwhau nei matou;
9 Ara ki te whakaae tou mangai ko Ihu te Ariki, a ki te whakapono tou ngakau na te Atua ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate, e ora koe.
10 Ma te ngakau hoki kia whakapono ka tika ai; ma te mangai kia whakaae ka ora ai.
11 E mea ana hoki te karaipiture, Ko nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana ki a ia e kore e meinga kia whakama.
12 Kahore hoki he rereketanga o te Hurai, o te Kariki: a ko taua Ariki ano te Ariki o te katoa, a e hua ana ana taonga ki te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki a ia.
13 E ora hoki nga tangata katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o te Ariki.
14 Na, me pehea ta ratou karanga ki a ia, ki te kahore i whakapono ki a ia? me pehea hoki ta ratou whakapono ki a ia, ki te kahore i rongo ki a ia? me pehea hoki e rongo ai, ki te kahore he kaikauwhau?
15 A me pehea e kauwhau ai, ki te kahore e tonoa? ko te mea ia i tuhituhia, Ano te ataahua o nga waewae o te hunga kawe mai i te rongo whakahari o nga mea papai!
16 Otira kahore ratou katoa i ngohengohe ki nga rongo whakahari. E mea ana hoki a Ihaia, E te Ariki, ko wai i whakapono ki ta matou whakaatu?
17 Ina, na te rongo te whakapono, a ko te rongo na te kupu a te Karaiti.
18 Otiia ko taku kupu tenei, Kahore ranei ratou i rongo? Koia ra ia, Kua puta atu to ratou reo ki te whenua katoa, a ratou kupu hoki ki nga topito o te ao.
19 Ko taku kupu ia tenei, kahore ianei a Iharaira i mohio? Na Mohi te kupu tuatahi, Maku koutou e whakaoho kia hae ki te hunga ehara i te iwi; Ka meinga e ahau te iwi poauau hei whakaoho i a koutou ki te riri.
20 A ka maia rawa a Ihaia, ka mea, Kua kitea ahau e te hunga kihai i rapu i ahau; kua whakakitea ahau ki te hunga kihai nei i ui ki ahau.
21 Ko tana kupu ia mo Iharaira, Pau noa te ra i totoro atu ai oku ringa ki te iwi tutu, ki te iwi whakahawea.
