10 Frè m ak sè m yo, sa m ta renmen wè, bi priyè m pou pèp Izrayèl la, se pou yo tout ta rive sove. Men temwanyaj mwen bay pou yo: yo vrèman fè anpil efò pou ta fè sa Bondye vle, men yo pa konprann plan li. Yo pa konprann kisa Bondye fè pou l ka sove nou. Epi y ap eseye nan fason pa yo pou yo parèt jis devan Bondye. Konsa, yo derefize aksepte fason Bondye vle sove moun. Lalwa rive nan bout li ak Kris la ki akonpli tout sa Lalwa te vle. Kounye a, Bondye aksepte tout moun ki kwè nan Kris la.

Paske, sou lajistis Lalwa bay la, men sa Moyiz ekri: “Moun ki fè sa Lalwa mande, y ap jwenn lavi ladan l.”[a] Men sa Pawòl Bondye di sou fason yon moun vin jis devan Bondye pa mwayen fidelite Jezi: “Pa mande tèt ou: Ki moun k ap monte nan syèl?” (Se ta pou l fè Kris desann sou latè.) “Epi, pa di: Ki lès ki pral desann nan pwofondè latè?” (Se ta pou n di “Ki moun ki pral fè Kris leve soti nan lanmò?”)

Men sa Bib la di: “Mesaj la tou pre w, li nan bouch ou epi li nan kè w.”[b] Se mesaj sa a Bondye voye, mesaj lafwa n ap preche a. Si ou temwanye ak bouch ou Jezi se Senyè, epi si w kwè nan kè w vrèman vre Bondye te resisite l, w ap sove. 10 Wi, si nou kwè nan Jezi ak tout kè nou, Bondye fè nou vin lib devan l, lè nou temwanye lafwa nou ak bouch nou, Bondye sove nou.

11 Wi, Pawòl Bondye di: “Nenpòt moun ki kwè nan li p ap janm wont.”[c] 12 Konsa, pa gen okenn diferans ant moun ki Jwif ak moun ki pa Jwif, paske yo tout gen menm Senyè ki pare pou beni tout moun ki rele l. 13 Men sa Bib la di, “Nenpòt moun ki rele nan non Senyè a[d] ap sove.”[e]

14 Men kijan pou yo envoke l si yo pa kwè nan li? Kòman pou yo rive kwè nan li san yo pa tande l? Kòman pou yo rive tande, si pa gen moun k ap preche? 15 Kòman pou fè gen moun k ap preche, si pèsòn pa voye yo? Dapre sa Pawòl Bondye di: “Ala bèl sa bèl, lè w wè moun k ap pote Levanjil la ap rive!”[f]

16 Men, se pa yo tout ki obeyi sa Levanjil la di. Se poutèt sa Ezayi te di: “Senyè, ki moun ki kwè nan mesaj nou?”[g] 17 Konsa, lafwa vini lè nou tande Bòn Nouvèl la, epi nou tande Bòn Nouvèl la lè yon moun pale nou de Kris la.

18 Men mwen di, “moun Izrayèl yo pa vrèman tande sa, pa vre?” Men wi, yo tande l. Ou konnen sa pòsyon Pawòl Bondye sa a di:

“Yo tande vwa a gaye toupatou sou latè,
    mesaje yo rive tout kote nan lemonn.”[h]

19 Men m ap poze tèt mwen kesyon ankò, “moun pèp Izrayèl la pa t konprann sa, pa vre?” Wi, repons lan nan sa Bondye te gentan di anvan pa mwayen Moyiz:

“M ap sèvi ak moun ki pa yon vrè nasyon
    pou m fè nou vin jalou.
M ap sèvi ak moun ki pa gen bon konprann
    pou m fè nou fache.”[i]

20 Epi Ezayi pran kouraj li ak de men pou l di:

“Moun ki jwenn mwen,
    yo pa t menm ap chache m.
M fè menm moun ki pa t ap mande
    pou mwen konnen m.”[j]

21 Men, sou Izrayèl, Bondye di:

“Tout lasent jounen, m ap lonje men m bay pèp la,
    men yo dezobeyisan epi yo rebèl.”[k]

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)

Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g](V)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[i](AA)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)

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.”[k](AD)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l](AE)
