Epistola ad Romanos

Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.

Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for them unto salvation.

Fratres, voluntate quidem de corde meo, et obsecratione ad Deo, fi pro illos in salute.

Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod æmulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Testimonio nam perhibe ad illos quod aemulatione de Deo habe, sed non secundo scientia.

Ignorantes enim justitiam Dei, et suam quærentes statuere, justitiæ Dei non sunt subjecti.

For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

Ignora nam iustitia de Deo, et suo quaere statue, de iustitia de Deo non es subicie.

Finis enim legis, Christus, ad justitiam omni credenti.

For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth.

Fine nam de lege, Christo, ad iustitia omni crede.

Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.

For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it.

Moyse nam scribe, quia iustitia, que ex lege es, qui fac homine, vive in illa.

Quæ autem ex fide est justitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: Quis ascendet in cælum? id est, Christum deducere:

But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down;

Que autem ex fide es iustitia, sic dic: ne dic in corde tuo: qui ascende in caelo? Id es, Christo deduce:

aut, Quis descendet in abyssum? hoc est, Christum a mortuis revocare.

Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

Aut, Qui descende in abysso? Hoc es, Christo ab mortuo revoca.

Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod prædicamus.

But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

Sed Scriptura dic quid? Prope es verbo in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc es verbo de fide, quod praedica.

Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Jesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.

For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Quia si confite in ore tuo Domino Iesu, et in corde tuo crede quod Deo suscita illo ab mortuo, salva es.

Corde enim creditur ad justitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.

For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

Corde nam crede ad iustitia: ore autem confessione fi ad salute.

Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur.

For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.

Scriptura nam dic: omni qui crede in illo, non confunde.

Non enim est distinctio Judæi et Græci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes qui invocant illum.

For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

Non nam distinctione Iudaeos et Graecias es: nam idem Domino de omni, divite in omni qui invoca illo.

Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Omni nam omni invoca nomine de Domino, salva es.

Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? quomodo autem audient sine prædicante?

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Quomodo ergo invoca, in quem non crede? Aut quomodo crede ad illo, quem non audi? Quomodo autem audi sine praedica?

quomodo vero prædicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!

And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things?

Quomodo vero praedica nisi mitte? Sicut scripto es: quam specioso pedes evangeliza pace, evangeliza bono!

Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro?

But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

Sed non omni obedi ad Evangelio. Isaiase nam dic: domino, qui crede ad auditu nostro?

Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.

Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

Ergo fide ex auditu, auditu autem per verbo de Christo.

Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.

But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily: Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

Sed dic: numquid non audi? Et quidem in omni terra sono de illos exi, et in fines de orbe de terra verbos de illos.

Sed dico: Numquid Israël non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad æmulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.

But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you.

Sed dic: numquid Israële non cognosce? Primo Moyse dic: me ad aemulatione adduce vos in non gente: in gente insipiente, in ira vos mitte.

Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quærentibus me: palam apparui iis qui me non interrogabant.

But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me. I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

Isaiase autem aude, et dic: inveni es ab non quaere me: palam appare ad illo qui interroga non me.

Ad Israël autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem.

But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not and contradicteth me.

Ad Israële autem dic: toto die expande manus meo ad populo non crede, et contradice.
