Romans 11
1 So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
λεγω ουν μη απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου μη γενοιτο και γαρ εγω ισραηλιτησ ειμι εκ σπερματοσ αβρααμ φυλησ βενιαμιν
2 God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,
ουκ απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου ον προεγνω η ουκ οιδατε εν ηλια τι λεγει η γραφη ωσ εντυγχανει τω θεω κατα του ισραηλ λεγων
3 Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.
κυριε τουσ προφητασ σου απεκτειναν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν καγω υπελειφθην μονοσ και ζητουσιν την ψυχην μου
4 But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.
αλλα τι λεγει αυτω ο χρηματισμοσ κατελιπον εμαυτω επτακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ οιτινεσ ουκ εκαμψαν γονυ τη βααλ
5 In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.
ουτωσ ουν και εν τω νυν καιρω λειμμα κατ εκλογην χαριτοσ γεγονεν
6 But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.
ει δε χαριτι ουκετι εξ εργων επει η χαρισ ουκετι γινεται χαρισ ει δε εξ εργων ουκετι εστιν χαρισ επει το εργον ουκετι εστιν εργον
7 What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.
τι ουν ο επιζητει ισραηλ τουτο ουκ επετυχεν η δε εκλογη επετυχεν οι δε λοιποι επωρωθησαν
8 As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.
καθωσ γεγραπται εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ πνευμα κατανυξεωσ οφθαλμουσ του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν εωσ τησ σημερον ημερασ
9 And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:
και δαυιδ λεγει γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εισ παγιδα και εισ θηραν και εισ σκανδαλον και εισ ανταποδομα αυτοισ
10 Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.
σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντοσ συγκαμψον
11 So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.
λεγω ουν μη επταισαν ινα πεσωσιν μη γενοιτο αλλα τω αυτων παραπτωματι η σωτηρια τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το παραζηλωσαι αυτουσ
12 Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?
ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτοσ κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτοσ εθνων ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων
13 But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:
υμιν γαρ λεγω τοισ εθνεσιν εφ οσον μεν ειμι εγω εθνων αποστολοσ την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω
14 If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.
ει πωσ παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινασ εξ αυτων
15 For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?
ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου τισ η προσληψισ ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων
16 And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
ει δε η απαρχη αγια και το φυραμα και ει η ριζα αγια και οι κλαδοι
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,
ει δε τινεσ των κλαδων εξεκλασθησαν συ δε αγριελαιοσ ων ενεκεντρισθησ εν αυτοισ και συγκοινωνοσ τησ ριζησ και τησ πιοτητοσ τησ ελαιασ εγενου
18 Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.
μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων ει δε κατακαυχασαι ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεισ αλλ η ριζα σε
19 You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
ερεισ ουν εξεκλασθησαν κλαδοι ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω
20 Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;
καλωσ τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν συ δε τη πιστει εστηκασ μη υψηλοφρονει αλλα φοβου
21 For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.
ει γαρ ο θεοσ των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο μηπωσ ουδε σου φεισεται
22 See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
ιδε ουν χρηστοτητα και αποτομιαν θεου επι μεν τουσ πεσοντασ αποτομιαν επι δε σε χρηστοτητα εαν επιμεινησ τη χρηστοτητι επει και συ εκκοπηση
23 And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.
και εκεινοι δε εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια εγκεντρισθησονται δυνατοσ γαρ ο θεοσ εστιν παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτουσ
24 For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
ει γαρ συ εκ τησ κατα φυσιν εξεκοπησ αγριελαιου και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθησ εισ καλλιελαιον ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι κατα φυσιν εγκεντρισθησονται τη ιδια ελαια
25 For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;
ου γαρ θελω υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι το μυστηριον τουτο ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοισ φρονιμοι οτι πωρωσισ απο μερουσ τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρι ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη
26 And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:
και ουτωσ πασ ισραηλ σωθησεται καθωσ γεγραπται ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενοσ και αποστρεψει ασεβειασ απο ιακωβ
27 And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
και αυτη αυτοισ η παρ εμου διαθηκη οταν αφελωμαι τασ αμαρτιασ αυτων
28 As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.
κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον εχθροι δι υμασ κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τουσ πατερασ
29 Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησισ του θεου
30 For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
ωσπερ γαρ και υμεισ ποτε ηπειθησατε τω θεω νυν δε ηλεηθητε τη τουτων απειθεια
31 So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
ουτωσ και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν
32 For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all. (eleēsē g1653)
συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεοσ τουσ παντασ εισ απειθειαν ινα τουσ παντασ ελεηση (eleēsē g1653)
33 O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
ω βαθοσ πλουτου και σοφιασ και γνωσεωσ θεου ωσ ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου
34 Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?
τισ γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου η τισ συμβουλοσ αυτου εγενετο
35 Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?
η τισ προεδωκεν αυτω και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω
