Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
1Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.
2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
2Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod æmulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.
3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
3Ignorantes enim justitiam Dei, et suam quærentes statuere, justitiæ Dei non sunt subjecti.
4For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
4Finis enim legis, Christus, ad justitiam omni credenti.
5For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
5Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.
6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
6Quæ autem ex fide est justitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: Quis ascendet in cælum? id est, Christum deducere:
7or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
7aut, Quis descendet in abyssum? hoc est, Christum a mortuis revocare.
8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
8Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod prædicamus.
9that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
9Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Jesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.
10For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
10Corde enim creditur ad justitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.
11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
11Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur.
12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
12Non enim est distinctio Judæi et Græci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes qui invocant illum.
13For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
13Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
14Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? quomodo autem audient sine prædicante?
15And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
15quomodo vero prædicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona !
16But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
16Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro?
17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
17Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.
18But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
18Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
19But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
19Sed dico: Numquid Israël non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad æmulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.
20Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
20Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quærentibus me: palam apparui iis qui me non interrogabant.
21But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
21Ad Israël autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem.
