Romans 10

E oku teina, ko ta toku ngakau i wawata ai, ko toku inoi hoki ki te Atua mo ratou, kia whakaorangia ratou.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

E whakaae ana hoki ahau ki a ratou, he ngakau nui to ratou ki te Atua, otiia ehara i te mea mohio.

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

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.

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Ko te Karaiti hoki te tukunga iho o te ture hei tika mo nga tangata whakapono katoa.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Kua tuhituhia hoki e Mohi, ko te tangata e whakarite ana i ta te ture tika, ka ora ia i reira.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

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:

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Ko wai ranei hei heke iho ki te hohonu? ara ki te tiki atu i a te Karaiti i roto i te hunga mate.

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

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;

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

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.

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

Ma te ngakau hoki kia whakapono ka tika ai; ma te mangai kia whakaae ka ora ai.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

E mea ana hoki te karaipiture, Ko nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana ki a ia e kore e meinga kia whakama.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

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.

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

E ora hoki nga tangata katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o te Ariki.

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

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?

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

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!

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

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?

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Ina, na te rongo te whakapono, a ko te rongo na te kupu a te Karaiti.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

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.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

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.

But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

Ko tana kupu ia mo Iharaira, Pau noa te ra i totoro atu ai oku ringa ki te iwi tutu, ki te iwi whakahawea.

But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
