Romanos 4 Vulgata Clementina
Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), leído por Joyfull · Sobre las grabaciones
1 Quid ergo dicemus invenisse Abraham patrem nostrum secundum carnem?
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 Si enim Abraham ex operibus justificatus est, habet gloriam, sed non apud Deum.
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 Quid enim dicit Scriptura? Credidit Abraham Deo, et reputatam est illi ad justitiam.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 Ei autem qui operatur, merces non imputatur secundum gratiam, sed secundum debitum.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 Ei vero qui non operatur, credenti autem in eum, qui justificat impium, reputatur fides ejus ad justitiam secundum propositum gratiæ Dei.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Sicut et David dicit beatitudinem hominis, cui Deus accepto fert justitiam sine operibus:
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 [Beati, quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum.]
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Beatitudo ergo hæc in circumcisione tantum manet, an etiam in præputio? Dicimus enim quia reputata est Abrahæ fides ad justitiam.
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Quomodo ergo reputata est? in circumcisione, an in præputio? Non in circumcisione, sed in præputio.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Et signum accepit circumcisionis, signaculum justitiæ fidei, quæ est in præputio: ut sit pater omnium credentium per præputium, ut reputetur et illis ad justitiam:
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12 et sit pater circumcisionis non iis tantum, qui sunt ex circumcisione, sed et iis qui sectantur vestigia fidei, quæ est in præputio patris nostri Abrahæ.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 Non enim per legem promissio Abrahæ, aut semini ejus ut hæres esset mundi: sed per justitiam fidei.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Si enim qui ex lege, hæredes sunt: exinanita est fides, abolita est promissio.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Lex enim iram operatur. Ubi enim non est lex, nec prævaricatio.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Ideo ex fide, ut secundum gratiam firma sit promissio omni semini, non ei qui ex lege est solum, sed et ei qui ex fide est Abrahæ, qui pater est omnium nostrum
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
17 (sicut scriptum est: Quia patrem multarum gentium posui te) ante Deum, cui credidit, qui vivificat mortuos, et vocat ea quæ non sunt, tamquam ea quæ sunt:
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18 qui contra spem in spem credidit, ut fieret pater multarum gentium secundum quod dictum est ei: Sic erit semen tuum.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19 Et non infirmatus est fide, nec consideravit corpus suum emortuum, cum jam fere centum esset annorum, et emortuam vulvam Saræ.
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 In repromissione etiam Dei non hæsitavit diffidentia, sed confortatus est fide, dans gloriam Deo:
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 plenissime sciens, quia quæcumque promisit, potens est et facere.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Ideo et reputatum est illi ad justitiam.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Non est autem scriptum tantum propter ipsum quia reputatum est illi ad justitiam:
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 sed et propter nos, quibus reputabitur credentibus in eum, qui suscitavit Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum a mortuis,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 qui traditus est propter delicta nostra, et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

He had said (5 mss. eipen), that the world had become guilty before God, and that all had sinned, and that boasting was excluded, and that it was impossible to be saved otherwise than by faith.

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." On account of his faith and hospitality, a son was given him in his old age; and in the exercise of obedience, he offered him as a sacrifice to God on one of the mountains which He showed him.
"Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness." In the first place, [he believed] that He was the maker of heaven and earth, the only God; and in the next place, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven.
Here, indeed, is set down that sentence which the apostle quotes in order to commend the grace of God, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;" lest the circumcision should glory, and be unwilling to receive the uncircumcised nations to the faith of Christ.

God promises the old man a child, and Abraham without being weakened in faith, though he considered his own body now as good as dead, heeded not the weakness of his body, but the power of Him who promised, because he counted Him faithful who had promised, and so beyond all expectation gained the child from bodies as it …
