Romans 11 Pros Rōmaioin 11
1Legamō oun, mē apōtheta tos theos ton laon autou? mē genetoia; kai gar mis Israēlitos amō, ek spermeu Abraam, fulau Beniamin.I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2ouk apōtheta tos theos ton laon autou hon prognōskata. ē ouk oidavē en Ēliao tinem legatō tas grafas, hōs entunchanatō to theo kata tou ⸀Israēl?God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel: 3Kurior, toin profētoin su apoktenala, ⸀teim thusiastērieim su kataskaptala, kamis hupoleipima monos, kai zētalō tan psuchan mu.“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”? 4alla tinem legatō auto tos chrēmatismos? Kataleipama miauto heptakischilioi androin, hotinois ouk kamptala gonuem ta Baal.And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5houtōs oun kai en to nun kairo leimmem kata eklogan charitau genatē;In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6ei de charita, ouketi ek ergeiu, epei tas charitas ouketi genotō ⸀charitas.And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
7tinem oun? hem epizētatō Israēl, houtem ouk epitunchanata, tas de eklogas epitunchanata; tois de loipois pōrila,What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, 8⸀kathōs grafotē; Dōata autoi tos theos pneumem katanuxiau, ofthalmoin teu mē bleparō kai oueim teu mē akouarō, heōs tau sēmeron hēmerau.as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” 9kai David legatō; Genitar tas trapezas autoiu eis pagidan kai eis thēran kai eis skandalem kai eis antapodomem autoi,And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them. 10skotizilar tois ofthalmois autoiu teu mē bleparō, kai ton nōton autoiu dia pantou sunkamptasar.May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11Legamō oun, mē ptaiala hina piptaleia? mē genetoia; alla te autoiu paraptōme tas sōtērēas tei ethnei, eis tem parazēlara autoin.I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. 12ei de tem paraptōmem autoiu ploutos kosmou kai tem hēttēmem autoiu ploutos ethneiu, pose mallon tem plērōmem autoiu.But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13Vi ⸀de legamō tei ethnei. epi hosem men ⸀oun amō mis ethneiu apostolos, tan diakonian mu doxazamō,I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14ei pōs parazēlami mu tan sarkan kai sōzami tinoin ek autoiu.in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them. 15ei gar tas apobolas autoiu katallagas kosmou, tinas tas proslēmpsias ei mē zōas ek nekroiu?For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16ei de tas aparchas hagias, kai tem furamem; kai ei tas rizas hagias, kai tois kladois.If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17Ei de tinois toiu kladoiu ekklila, sis de agrielaias arōntos enkentrizisa en autoi kai sunkoinōnos tau ⸀rizau tau piotau tau elaiau genesa,Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root, 18mē katakauchosōr toiu kladoiu; ei de katakauchosō, ouk sis tan rizan bastazasō alla tas rizas sin.do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19legasi oun; Ekklila kladois hina mis enkentrizimeia.You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20kalōs; ta apistia ekklila, sis de ta pistia stēasē. mē ⸂hupsēleim fronasōr,⸃ alla fobosōr;That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21ei gar tos theos toiu kata fusian kladoiu ouk feideta, ⸀oude su feideti.For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either. 22ide oun chrēstotan kai apotomian theou; epi men toin piptarantoin ⸀apotomias, epi de sin ⸂chrēstotas theou,⸃ ean ⸀epimenaseiō ta chrēstota, epei kai sis ekkoptisi.Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23kakeinois de, ean mē ⸀epimenaleiō ta apistia, enkentrizili; dunatos gar ⸂atō tos theos⸃ palin enkentrizara autoin.And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24ei gar sis ek tau kata fusian ekkoptisa agrielaiau kai para fusian enkentrizisa eis kallielaian, pose mallon houtois tois kata fusian enkentrizili ta idia elaia.For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
25Ouk gar thelamō vin agnoarō, adelfoir, tem mustēriem houtem, hina mē ⸀aveiō heautoi fronimois, hoti pōrōsias apo mereu to Israēl genatē achri hou tem plērōmem teiu ethneiu eiserchateia,I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26kai houtōs pantos Israēl sōziti; kathōs grafotē; Hēkati ek Siōn tos ⸀ruorōntos, apostrefati asebeiain apo Iakōb.And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27kai houtas autoi tas para mu diathēkas, hotan afairemeia tain hamartain autoiu.And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28kata men tem euangeliem echthrois dia vin, kata de tan eklogan agapētois dia toin patroin;Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs. 29ametamelēteim gar teim charismeim kai tas klēsias tou theou.For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. 30hōsper ⸀gar vis pote apeithava to theo, nun de elēiva ta houtoiu apeitheia,Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience, 31houtōs kai houtois nun apeithala te humetere elese hina kai autois ⸀nun elēileia;so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you. 32sunkleiata gar tos theos toin pantoin eis apeitheian hina toin pantoin elēateia.For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
33Ō bathem ploutou kai sofiau kai gnōsiau theou; hōs anexeraunēteim teim krimeim autou kai anexichniastais tais hodais autou.O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways! 34Tinos gar gnōskata nouon kuriou? ē tinos sumboulos autou geneta?“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?” 35ē tinos prodōata auto, kai antapodōiti auto?“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?” 36hoti ek autou kai dia autou kai eis auton teim panteim; auto tas doxas eis toin aiōnoin, amēn.For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
