Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
HERMANOS, ciertamente la voluntad de mi corazón y mi oración á Dios sobre Israel, es para salud.
2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
Porque yo les doy testimonio que tienen celo de Dios, mas no conforme á ciencia.
3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Porque ignorando la justicia de Dios, y procurando establecer la suya propia, no se han sujetado á la justicia de Dios.
4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
Porque el fin de la ley es Cristo, para justicia á todo aquel que cree.
5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Porque Moisés describe la justicia que es por la ley: Que el hombre que hiciere estas cosas, vivirá por ellas.
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)
Mas la justicia que es por la fe dice así: No digas en tu corazón: ¿Quién subirá al cielo? (esto es, para traer abajo á Cristo: )
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
O, ¿quién descenderá al abismo? (esto es, para volver á traer á Cristo de los muertos.) (Abyssos g12)
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:
Mas ¿qué dice? Cercana está la palabra, en tu boca y en tu corazón. Esta es la palabra de fe, la cual predicamos:
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.
Que si confesares con tu boca al Señor Jesús, y creyeres en tu corazón que Dios le levantó de los muertos, serás salvo.
10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
Porque con el corazón se cree para justicia; mas con la boca se hace confesión para salud.
11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Porque la Escritura dice: Todo aquel que en él creyere, no será avergonzado.
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,
Porque no hay diferencia de Judío y de Griego: porque el mismo que es Señor de todos, rico es para con todos los que le invocan:
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Porque todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo.
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?
¿Cómo, pues invocarán á aquel en el cual no han creído? ¿y cómo creerán á aquel de quien no han oído? ¿y cómo oirán sin [haber] quien [les] predique?
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!”
¿Y cómo predicarán si no fueren enviados? Como está escrito: ¡Cuán hermosos son los pies de los que anuncian el evangelio de la paz, de los que anuncian el evangelio de los bienes!
16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
Mas no todos obedecen al evangelio; pues Isaías dice: Señor, ¿quién ha creído á nuestro anuncio?
17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Luego la fe es por el oir; y el oir por la palabra de Dios.
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.”
Mas digo: ¿No han oído? Antes bien, por toda la tierra ha salido la fama de ellos, y hasta los cabos de la redondez de la tierra las palabras de ellos.
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.”
Mas digo: ¿No ha conocido [esto] Israel? Primeramente Moisés dice: Yo os provocaré á celos con gente que no es [mía]; con gente insensata os provocaré á ira.
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.”
E Isaías determinadamente dice: Fuí hallado de los que no me buscaban; manifestéme á los que no preguntaban por mí.
21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
Mas acerca de Israel dice: Todo el día extendí mis manos á un pueblo rebelde y contradictor.
