Romans 11
1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
Ǹjẹ́ mo ní, Ọlọ́run ha ta àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nù bí? Kí a má ri. Nítorí Israẹli ni èmi pẹ̀lú, láti inú irú-ọmọ Abrahamu, ni ẹ̀yà Benjamini.
2 God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?
Ọlọ́run kò ta àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nù ti ó ti mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀. Tàbí ẹ̀yin kò mọ bí ìwé mímọ́ ti wí ní ti Elijah? Bí ó ti ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún Israẹli, wí pé:
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I have been left alone, and they seek my life.
“Olúwa, wọ́n ti pa àwọn wòlíì rẹ, wọn sì ti wó àwọn pẹpẹ rẹ lulẹ̀; èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó sì kù, wọ́n sì ń wá ẹ̀mí mi.”
4 But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìdáhùn wo ni Ọlọ́run fi fún un? “Mo ti ṣẹ́ ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin ènìyàn kù sílẹ̀ fún ara mi, àwọn tí kò tẹ eékún ba fún Baali.”
5 Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni, ní àkókò yìí àṣẹ́kù àwọn ènìyàn kan wà nípa ìyànfẹ́ ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́.
6 But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.
Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé nípa ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ni, ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe ti iṣẹ́ mọ́; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ kì yóò jẹ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe pé nípa ti iṣẹ́ ni, ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ mọ́; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, iṣẹ́ kì í ṣe iṣẹ́ mọ́.
7 What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
Kí ha ni? Ohun tí Israẹli ń wá kiri, òun náà ni kò rí; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹni àyànfẹ́ ti rí i, a sì sé àyà àwọn ìyókù le.
8 according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Ọlọ́run ti fún wọn ní ẹ̀mí oorun, àwọn ojú tí kò le ríran àti àwọn etí tí kò le gbọ́rọ̀, títí ó fi di òní olónìí yìí.”
9 And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:
Dafidi sì wí pé: “Jẹ́ kí tábìlì wọn kí ó di ìdẹ̀kùn àti tàkúté, ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ àti ẹ̀san fún wọn.
10 let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
Jẹ́ kí ojú wọn ṣókùnkùn, kí wọn kí ó má le ríran, Kí wọn kí ó sì tẹ ẹ̀yìn wọn ba nígbà gbogbo.”
11 I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.
Ǹjẹ́ mo ní, wọ́n ha kọsẹ̀ kí wọn kí ó lè ṣubú? Kí a má ri i, ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìṣubú wọn, ìgbàlà dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Kèfèrí, láti mú Israẹli jowú.
12 But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìṣubú wọn bá di ọrọ̀ ayé, àti bí ìfàsẹ́yìn wọn bá di ọrọ̀ àwọn Kèfèrí; mélòó mélòó ni kíkún ọrọ̀ wọn?
13 For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as I am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
Ẹ̀yin tí i ṣe Kèfèrí ni èmi sá à ń bá sọ̀rọ̀, níwọ̀n bí èmi ti jẹ́ aposteli àwọn Kèfèrí, mo gbé oyè mi ga
14 if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
bí ó le ṣe kí èmi kí ó lè mú àwọn ará mi jowú, àti kí èmi kí ó lè gba díẹ̀ là nínú wọn.
15 For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?
Nítorí bí títanù wọn bá jẹ́ ìlàjà ayé, gbígbà wọn yóò ha ti rí, bí kò sí ìyè kúrò nínú òkú?
16 Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.
Ǹjẹ́ bí àkọ́so bá jẹ́ mímọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àkópọ̀ yóò jẹ́ mímọ́; bí gbòǹgbò bá sì jẹ́ mímọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ náà.
17 Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and thou, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá ya nínú àwọn ẹ̀ka kúrò, tí a sì lọ́ ìwọ, tí í ṣe igi òróró igbó sára wọn, tí ìwọ sì ń bá wọn pín nínú gbòǹgbò àti ọ̀rá igi olifi náà,
18 boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.
má ṣe ṣe féfé sí àwọn ẹ̀ka igi náà. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá ṣe féfé, ìwọ kọ́ ni ó rù gbòǹgbò, ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò ni ó rù ìwọ.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that I might be grafted in.
Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ó wí pé, “A ti fa àwọn ẹ̀ka náà ya, nítorí kí a lè lọ́ mi sínú rẹ̀.”
20 Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
Ó dára; nítorí àìgbàgbọ́ ni a ṣe fà wọn ya kúrò, ìwọ sì dúró nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ. Má ṣe gbé ara rẹ ga, ṣùgbọ́n bẹ̀rù.
21 if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
Nítorí bí Ọlọ́run kò bá dá ẹ̀ka-ìyẹ́ka sí, kíyèsára kí ó má ṣe ṣe àìdá ìwọ náà sí.
22 Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] thou also wilt be cut away.
Nítorí náà wo oore àti ìkáàánú Ọlọ́run; lórí àwọn tí ó ṣubú, ìkáàánú; ṣùgbọ́n lórí ìwọ, oore, bi ìwọ bá dúró nínú oore rẹ̀; kí a má bá ké ìwọ náà kúrò.
23 And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
Àti àwọn pẹ̀lú, bí wọn kò bá jókòó sínú àìgbàgbọ́, a ó lọ́ wọn sínú rẹ̀, nítorí Ọlọ́run le tún wọn lọ́ sínú rẹ̀.
24 For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
Nítorí bí a bá ti ké ìwọ kúrò lára igi òróró igbó nípa ẹ̀dá rẹ̀, tí a sì lọ́ ìwọ sínú igi òróró rere lòdì sí ti ẹ̀dá; mélòó mélòó ni a ó lọ́ àwọn wọ̀nyí, tí í ṣe ẹ̀ka-ìyẹ́ka sára igi òróró wọn?
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;
Ará, èmi kò ṣá fẹ́ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wà ní òpè ní ti ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ yìí, kí ẹ̀yin má ba á ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n ní ojú ara yín, pé ìfọ́jú bá Israẹli ní apá kan, títí kíkún àwọn Kèfèrí yóò fi dé.
26 and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sì gba gbogbo Israẹli là, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Ní Sioni ni Olùgbàlà yóò ti jáde wá, yóò sì yìí àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Jakọbu.
27 And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
Èyí sì ni májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú wọn. Nígbà tí èmi yóò mú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn kúrò.”
28 As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
Nípa ti ìyìnrere, ọ̀tá ni wọ́n nítorí yín; bí ó sì ṣe ti ìyànfẹ́ ni, olùfẹ́ ni wọ́n nítorí ti àwọn baba.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.
Nítorí àìlábámọ̀ ni ẹ̀bùn àti ìpè Ọlọ́run.
30 For as indeed ye [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;
Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò ti gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́ rí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí tí ẹ̀yin rí àánú gbà nípa àìgbàgbọ́ wọn.
31 so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that they also may be objects of mercy.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn wọ̀nyí tí ó ṣe àìgbọ́ràn nísinsin yìí, kí àwọn pẹ̀lú bá le rí àánú gbà nípa àánú tí a fihàn yín.
32 For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all. (eleēsē g1653)
Nítorí Ọlọ́run sé gbogbo wọn mọ́ pọ̀ sínú àìgbàgbọ́, kí ó le ṣàánú fún gbogbo wọn. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
A! Ìjìnlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ àti ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run! Àwámárídìí ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ti rí, ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sì jù àwárí lọ!
34 For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
“Nítorí ta ni ó mọ ọkàn Olúwa? Tàbí ta ni í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀?”
35 or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
“Tàbí ta ni ó kọ́ fi fún un, tí a kò sì san padà fún un?”
