Romans 11
1 Therefore, I say: Has God driven away his people? Let it not be so! For I, too, am an Israelite of the offspring of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Na, ko taku kupu tenei, Kua peia oti e te Atua tana iwi? Kahore rapea. No Iharaira ano hoki ahau, no te uri o Aperahama, no to Pineamine iwi.
2 God has not driven away his people, whom he foreknew. And do you not know what Scripture says in Elijah, how he calls upon God against Israel?
Kahore hoki te Atua i pei i tana iwi i mohio ai i mua. Kahore oti koutou i matau ki te korero a te karaipiture i ta Iraia? i inoi ra hoki ia ki te Atua, i whakahe i a Iharaira, i mea,
3 “Lord, they have slain your Prophets. They have overturned your altars. And I alone remain, and they are seeking my life.”
E te Ariki, kua patua e ratou au poropiti, kua whakahoroa au aata; ko ahau anake hoki kua mahue nei, a e whai ana ratou kia patua ahau.
4 But what is the Divine response to him? “I have retained for myself seven thousand men, who have not bent their knees before Baal.”
Heoi e pehea ana te whakahoki a te Atua ki a ia? E whitu mano tangata kua waiho e ahau maku, kahore nei i piko te ture ki a Paara.
5 Therefore, in the same way, again in this time, there is a remnant that has been saved in accord with the choice of grace.
Waihoki i te wa nei ano, tera ano he toenga, he whiriwhiringa na te aroha noa.
6 And if it is by grace, then it is not now by works; otherwise grace is no longer free.
Ki te mea ia na te aroha noa, ehara i te mea na nga mahi: penei ehara te aroha noa i te aroha noa.
7 What is next? What Israel was seeking, he has not obtained. But the elect have obtained it. And truly, these others have been blinded,
Ha, he pehea ra? Ko ta Iharaira e rapu nei, kihai tenei i taea e ia; otira kua taea e te hunga whiriwhiri, ko era atu ia i whakapakeketia:
8 just as it was written: “God has given them a spirit of reluctance: eyes that do not perceive, and ears that do not hear, even until this very day.”
Ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Kua hoatu ki a ratou e te Atua he wairua hiamoe, he kanohi e kore ai ratou e kite, he taringa e kore ai e rongo; a taea noatia tenei ra.
9 And David says: “Let their table become like a snare, and a deception, and a scandal, and a retribution for them.
E mea ana hoki a Rawiri, Kia whakatupu mahanga to ratou tepu, hei rore hoki, hei tutukitanga waewae, hei utu ano ki a ratou:
10 Let their eyes be obscured, so that they may not see, and so that they may bow down their backs always.”
Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kia kaua ratou e kite, a kia whakapikoa tonutia iho e koe to ratou tuara.
11 Therefore, I say: Have they stumbled in such a way that they should fall? Let it not be so! Instead, by their offense, salvation is with the Gentiles, so that they may be a rival to them.
Na, ko taku kupu tenei, He tutuki ranei to ratou e hinga rawa ai? Kahore rapea: engari na to ratou hinga i puta ai te ora ki nga tauiwi, he mea kia hae ai ratou.
12 Now if their offense is the riches of the world, and if their diminution is the riches of the Gentiles, how much more is their fullness?
Na, ki te mea hei taonga mo te ao to ratou hinganga, hei taonga ano mo nga Tauiwi to ratou whakaitinga: tera noa ake i to ratou whakanuinga?
13 For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,
Ki a koutou, ki nga Tauiwi tenei kupu aku, I te mea he apotoro ahau ki nga Tauiwi, e whakanui ana ahau i taku mahi minita:
14 in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.
Me kore e hae nga tangata o toku kikokiko, kia ora ai etahi o ratou i ahau.
15 For if their loss is for the reconciliation of the world, what could their return be for, except life out of death?
Mehemea hoki ko to ratou makanga atu hei houhanga rongo mo te ao, ka aha to ratou tangohanga mai? he teka ianei he oranga ake i roto i te hunga mate?
16 For if the first-fruit has been sanctified, so also has the whole. And if the root is holy, so also are the branches.
Ki te mea hoki he tapu te mea matamua, ka pera ano te puranga: ki te tapu hoki te pakiaka, e pera ano nga manga.
17 And if some of the branches are broken, and if you, being a wild olive branch, are grafted on to them, and you become a partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Engari ki te mea kua whatiia atu etahi o nga manga, a ka honoa mai koe, te oriwa ngahere, ki roto i nga manga, ka whiwhi ngatahi ki te pakiaka o te momonatanga o te oriwa;
18 do not glorify yourself above the branches. For though you glory, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
Aua e whakapehapeha ki nga manga. Ki te whakapehapeha ia koe, ehara i te mea nau i mau ake ai te pakiaka, engari na te pakiaka koe.
19 Therefore, you would say: The branches were broken off, so that I might be grafted on.
Na, tera koe e mea, I whatiia atu nga manga, kia honoa iho ai ahau.
20 Well enough. They were broken off because of unbelief. But you stand on faith. So do not choose to savor what is exalted, but instead be afraid.
Ae ra; na te whakaponokore ratou i whatiia atu ai, na tou whakapono koe i tu ai. Aua e whakakake, engari kia wehi.
21 For if God has not spared the natural branches, perhaps also he might not spare you.
Na, ki te mea kihai i tohungia nga manga tupu e te Atua, e kore ano ia e tohu i a koe.
22 So then, notice the goodness and the severity of God. Certainly, toward those who have fallen, there is severity; but toward you, there is the goodness of God, if you remain in goodness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Na, tirohia iho te ngawari me te pakeke o te Atua: pakeke ki te hunga i hinga; ngawari ki a koe, ki te u koe ki tana tikanga ngawari: ki te kahore, ka tapahia hoki koe.
23 Moreover, if they do not remain in unbelief, they will be grafted on. For God is able to graft them on again.
Me ratou ano, ki te kore e u ki to ratou whakaponokore, ka honoa ano: e taea hoki ratou e te Atua te hono mai ano.
24 So if you have been cut off from the wild olive tree, which is natural to you, and, contrary to nature, you are grafted on to the good olive tree, how much more shall those who are the natural branches be grafted on to their own olive tree?
Mehemea hoki ka tapahia mai koe i te oriwa ngahere, a ka honoa mai ki te oriwa pai, he mea rere ke i te tikanga; tera noa ake te honoa o enei, o nga manga tupu, ki to ratou oriwa ano.
25 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery (lest you seem wise only to yourselves) that a certain blindness has occurred in Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has arrived.
E kore hoki ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia kuware koutou ki tenei mea ngaro, kei mea noa koutou he matau koutou, kua tau tetahi wahi o te whakapakeketanga ki a Iharaira, kia riro mai ra ano te tokomahatanga o nga tauiwi.
26 And in this way, all of Israel may be saved, just as it was written: “From Zion shall arrive he who delivers, and he shall turn impiety away from Jacob.
Ko reira a Iharaira katoa ora ai: ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Tera e puta mai te Kaiwhakaora i Hiona, mana e kaupare te karakiakore i a Hakopa:
27 And this will be my covenant for them, when I will take away their sins.”
Ko taku kawenata hoki tenei ki a ratou, ina tangohia atu e ahau o ratou hara.
28 Certainly, according to the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But according to the election, they are most beloved for the sake of the fathers.
Na i runga i te rongopai he hoariri ratou, he whakaaro ki a koutou; i runga ia i te whiriwhiringa, e arohaina ana ratou, he whakaaro ki nga matua.
29 For the gifts and the call of God are without regret.
I a te Atua homaitanga hoki, i tana karangatanga, kahore e puta ke te whakaaro.
30 And just as you also, in times past, did not believe in God, but now you have obtained mercy because of their unbelief,
Ka rite hoki ki a koutou kihai i whakapono i mua ki te Atua, inaianei ia kua tohungia, he mea na to ratou whakaponokore:
31 so also have these now not believed, for your mercy, so that they might obtain mercy also.
Waihoki kua kahore enei i whakapono inaianei, kia tohungia ai ano ratou i runga i te mahi tohu i whiwhi nei koutou.
Kua oti hoki te katoa te kopani e te Atua ki roto ki te whakateka, he mea kia tohungia ai e ia te katoa. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh, the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable are his ways!
Ano te hohonu, te hua ngatahi hoki o te whakaaro o te Atua me tona mohio! e kore ana tikanga e taea te rapu, ona huarahi te whakataki!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
Ko wai hoki te mohio ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki? ko wai hoki tona hoa whakatakoto whakaaro?
35 Or who first gave to him, so that repayment would be owed?
Ko ta wai hoki kua matua hoatu ki a ia, a ka whakahokia mai he utu ki a ia?
