Romans 11
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Na nga siyuk: Ya God El sisla mwet lal sifacna? Mo, tia ku in ouingan! Nga sifacna nga sie mwet Israel, sie mwet in fwilin tulik natul Abraham, ac sie sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin.
2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or do not you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
God El tiana sisla mwet lal, su El nuna sulela ke mutawauk ah me. Kowos etu kas in Ma Simusla ma fahk ke Elijah el kwafe sin God lain mwet Israel.
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
El fahk, “Leum, elos onela mwet palu lom nukewa ac kunausla loang lom; nga mukena pa lula sin mwet palu uh, ac elos suk pac in uniyuwi.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Na mea top lun God nu sel? God El fahk, “Nga filiya nu sik sifacna mwet itkosr tausin su tia alu nu sin Baal, sie god sutuu.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Nuna lumah sacna nwe inge: oasr pisa na pu se lula selos su God El sulela ke sripen lungkulang lal.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Sulela lal uh ma na ke kulang lal, ac tia ke ma elos orala. Tuh sulela lun God fin ma ke sripen ma mwet uh oru, na wangin kalmen kulang lal.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Na mea? Mwet Israel tia konauk ma elos suk. A mwet na pu selos su God El sulela pa konauk; mwet saya ah tia lungse lohng pang lun God.
8 According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk, “God El oru elos in folosuwosla — elos nikanulosla ac wangin ma elos pula; nwe misenge elos tia ku in liye ku lohng.”
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Ac David el fahk, “Finsrak in sruoh elos, ku srifusryuki elos ke kufwa lalos; Finsrak elos in ikori; lela elos in akkeokyeyuk!
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Lela mutalos in lohsrla tuh elos in koflana liye, Ac fintokolos in foingyak pacl nukewa.”
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
Na nga siyuk: Ke mwet Jew elos tukulkul, ya elos ikori ac koflana sifil tuyak? Mo! Ke sripen elos oru ma koluk, pwanang molela tuku nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew, tuh in oru mwet Jew in sok selos.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Ma koluk lun mwet Jew uh pwanang insewowo lulap nu sin faclu, ac sukasrup in ngun lalos use insewowo lulap nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew. Na ac lupa kac insewowo ac fah tuku ke pacl se mwet Jew nukewa weang!
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Inge nga kaskas nu suwos, mwet sayen mwet Jew: Ke lusen pacl nga sie mwet sap nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew, nga kulo nu sin God ke orekma se inge su El kuneyuwi nu kac.
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Sahp nga ac ku in oru mwet srahk sifacna in sok, na ke sripuk God El ac molelosla.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Tuh ke pacl God El ngetla liki mwet Jew, mutanfahl saya uh elos iweyukla nu sin God. Na ac fuka, ke pacl se mwet Jew elos ac sifil folokinyukme uh? Ac fah oana sie mwet misa su sifil moulyak!
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Ipin bread se oemeet uh fin itukyang nu sin God, na lof nufon soko ac ma pac lal; ac okan sak soko fin itukyang nu sin God, lesak kac uh ac ma pac lal.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
Kipatla kutu lesak ke soko sak olive, na lesak se ke sak olive wet soko kupasryang in aolla. Kowos oana lesak ke sak olive wet uh; ac inge kowos ipeis ke moul lun sak olive sacnsan soko ah.
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
Ke ma inge, kowos tia enenu in kwase mwet su oana lesak uh kipatla. Efu ku kowos in konkin, ke lesak se na pa kowos. Kowos tia akkeye oka uh, a oka uh akkeye kowos.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Na sahp sie suwos ac fahk, “Aok, lesak uh kipatla in sakunla acn sik.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Pwaye. Lesak uh kipatla ke sripen elos tiana lulalfongi, ac kowos kupasryang ke sripen kowos lulalfongi. Tusruktu nik kowos fulatak insiowos kac; a kowos in sensen.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
God El fin tia molela mwet Jew, su oana lesak na pwaye ke sak soko ah; ya kowos nunku mu El ac molikowosla?
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Inge kut ku in liye luman kulang ac luman upa lun God. El upa nu selos su oru ma koluk, tusruktu El kulang nu suwos — kowos fin mutana ye kulang lal. A kowos fin tia, kowos ac fah kipatla pac.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Ac mwet Jew fin sisla selulalfongi lalos, elos ac fah folokinyukyang nu yen elos muta we meet; mweyen God El ku in oru ouinge.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Kowos mwet sayen mwet Jew, kowos oana luman sie lesak ke sak olive wet ma kipatla, na itukyang kowos nu ke soko sak olive sacnsan. Mwet Jew uh elos oana sak sacnsan soko ah, na kalem lah ac arulana fisrasr God Elan kapsreni lesak kipatla inge nu ke sropo lalos sifacna.
25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you will not be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, oasr sie ma pwaye su tia eteyuk kac meet, ac inge nga lungse kowos in etu kac, tuh ac fah karingin kowos liki nunak in nunku mu kowos lalmwetmet. Ma se inge pa: inse upa lun kutu sin mwet Israel ac tia ma nwe tok, a ac fah oanna nwe ke pacl se mwet sayen mwet Jew nukewa tuku nu yurin God, fal nu ke pisa se El nuna pakiya.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Na pa inge luman inkanek in molela nu sin mwet Israel nukewa. Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Mwet Lango ac fah tuku Zion me Ac eela ma koluk nukewa liki fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Nga fah oru wuleang ku se inge yorolos Ke pacl se nga eisla ma koluk lalos.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Ke sripen mwet Jew elos pilesru Pweng Wo, elos mwet lokoalok lun God, ac ma inge tuh wo nu suwos, mwet sayen mwet Jew. Tusruktu ke sulela lun God, elos mwet kawuk lal ke sripen wuleang lal yurin papa matu tumalos.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Tuh God El tia ekulla nunak lal kaclos su El sulela ac su El akinsewowoye.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Ac funu kowos, mwet sayen mwet Jew; kowos tuh seakos God in pacl meet ah, a inge kowos eis pakoten sin God ke sripen seakos lun mwet Jew.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
In ouiya sacna, ke sripen pakoten ma kowos eis, mwet Jew elos seakos God inge, in pwanang elos in mau eis pakoten lun God.
Tuh God El oru mwet nukewa in mwet kapir ke sripen seakosten lalos, tuh El fah ku in fahkak pakoten nu selos nukewa. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
Fuka lupan kasrpen lungkulang lun God! Fuka loaliyen lalmwetmet ac etauk lal! Su ku in aketeya oakwuk lal? Su ku in kalem ke inkanek lal?
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Su etu nunak lun Leum God? Su ku in sang kas in kasru nu sel?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Su na sang kutena ma nu sin God Tuh Elan sifil akfalye?”
