Romans 11
1 I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Mgbe ahụ a na m ajụ, ọ ga-abụ na Chineke ajụla ndị ya? Mba, nke a apụghị ime, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụkwa onye Izrel. Abụ m nwa nwa Ebraham, onye si nʼagbụrụ Benjamin pụta.
2 God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
Chineke ajụbeghị ndị ya bụ ndị ọ họpụtara site na mmalite ihe niile. Ọ bụ na unu amaghị ihe akwụkwọ nsọ na-ekwu banyere Ịlaịja, otu o siri rịọ Chineke arịrịọ megide ụmụ Izrel?
3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
“Onyenwe m, ha egbuchala ndị amụma gị niile, mebisiekwa ebe ịchụ aja gị niile, maọbụ naanị m fọdụrụ. Ha na-achọkwa ụzọ igbu m.”
4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
Gịnị bụ ọsịsa Chineke nyere ya? “E nwere m puku mmadụ asaa ọzọ ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, ndị na-egbubeghị ikpere ha nʼala nye Baal.”
5 Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
Otu a ka ọ dịkwa nʼoge dị ugbu a, a họrọla mmadụ ole na ole site nʼamara ya.
6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
Ọ bụrụ na o sitere nʼamara, o sighịzikwa nʼọrụ. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na o si nʼọrụ, amara ya abụghịkwa amara nʼeziokwu.
7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
Gịnịkwa? Ihe ndị Izrel jiri ike ha niile na-achọ nke ha na-achọtaghị ka ndị a họpụtara chọtara. Ndị nke ọzọ mechiri obi ha.
8 As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
Dịka e dere ya, “Chineke nyere ha mmụọ na-eme mmadụ iberiibe. O nyela ha anya nke ha na-ejighị ahụ ụzọ, nyekwa ha ntị nke ha na-ejighị anụ ihe; o mere nke a ruo taa.”
9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
Devid kwukwara, “Ka tebul ha ghọọrọ ha igbudu na ọnya, ha bụrụkwa ihe ịsọ ngọngọ na ntaramahụhụ nye ha.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
Ka anya ha gbaa ọchịchịrị, ka ha gharakwa ịhụ ụzọ. Mee ka azụ ha bụrụ ihe arọjiri arọji ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
Ajụjụ ọzọ m na-ajụ bụ nke a: Ọ ga-abụ na ha sụrụ ngọngọ ka ha daa ma ghara ibilite ọzọ? Ọ bụghị otu a! Kama nʼihi mmehie ha, nzọpụta rutere ndị mba ọzọ ka e sitekwa na nke a kpalie ekworo nʼime ụmụ Izrel.
12 Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
Ma ọ bụrụ na mmehie ha wetara akụnụba nye ụwa, ọ bụrụkwa na ịbụ ogbenye ha wetara ngọzị nye ndị mba ọzọ, ọ bụ na ngọzị babigara ụba oke agaghị adị mgbe a ga-agụkọta ọnụọgụgụ ha niile?
13 For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
Ugbu a, unu ndị mba ọzọ, ka m na-agwa okwu. Ọ bụ ezie na mụ onwe m bụ onyeozi nye ndị mba ọzọ, ana m enwe afọ ojuju nʼihi ije ozi m.
14 If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Nʼihi na enwere m olileanya na, ma eleghị anya, apụrụ m isite nʼụzọ a kpasuo ekworo nʼime ụfọdụ ụmụnna m, ka e site nʼekworo ha zọpụta ụfọdụ nʼime ha.
15 For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ site nʼọjụjụ a jụrụ ha ka e siri mee ka ụwa dịrị na mma, gịnị ga-eme mgbe a nabatara ha? Ọ ga-adị ka i si nʼọnwụ bilie ọzọ, nwee ndụ ọzọ.
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Ebe ọ bụkwa na iberibe achịcha e jiri chụọ aja bụ ihe dị nsọ, mgbe ahụ, achịcha ahụ niile bụ ihe dị nsọ. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na mgbọrọgwụ osisi dị nsọ, otu a kwa, alaka ya ga-adịkwa nsọ.
17 And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Ma a nyakapụrụ ụfọdụ alaka osisi a, werekwa unu bụ alaka osisi oliv ọhịa nyapagide nʼọnọdụ ha. Ya mere, unu esorola keta oke na ngọzị sitere na mgbọrọgwụ osisi oliv ahụ.
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Ma unu ekwesighị ịnya isi na a dọkapụrụ alaka ndị ọzọ were unu dochie nʼọnọdụ ha. Ihe unu na-aghaghị ịmata bụ nke a: unu bụ naanị alaka dị nʼosisi. Ọ bụghị unu na-ebu mgbọrọgwụ osisi, kama ọ bụ mgbọrọgwụ osisi na-ebu unu.
19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Ma eleghị anya unu nwere ike kwuo, “Ma a nyakapụrụ alaka ụfọdụ e nwee ohere ebe a ga-anyapagide anyị.”
20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
Nke ahụ bụ eziokwu. Ma chetakwanụ na a nyakapụrụ ha nʼihi ekweghị ekwe ha, ma unu nọ naanị site nʼokwukwe. Ya mere anyala isi, kama na-atụ egwu.
21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na Chineke emereghị alaka nke osisi ahụ wapụtara nʼonwe ya ebere, ọ gaghị emekwara gị ebere.
22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Ya mere, tulee obiọma na aka ike Chineke, aka ike nʼebe ndị dara ada nọ, ma obiọma nʼebe unu nọ, naanị mgbe unu na-anọgideghị nʼobi ebere ya, ma ọ bụghị ya, ọ ga-anyakapụkwa unu.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha anọgideghị na-ekweghị ekwe, a ga-anyapagidekwa ha nʼihi na Chineke pụrụ ịnyapagide ha ọzọ.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Nʼihi na asị na e gbupụtara unu site nʼalaka osisi oliv ọhịa, nyapagide unu nʼosisi oliv ọma ahụ nʼụzọ na-abụghị usoro ndụ, gịnị kwanụ ga-egbochi ịnabata alaka ndị ya, bụ ndị si na ya, mee ka ha laghachi azụ nʼosisi oliv ahụ e si nyakapụ ha.
25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ka unu mata ihe omimi a, ka unu ghara ịnya isi. Nnupu isi ụfọdụ ụmụ Izrel agaghị adịgide kama ọ ga-adị ruo nʼoge ọnụọgụgụ ndị mba ọzọ a ga-anabata zuru.
26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Mgbe ahụ, a ga-azọpụta Izrel niile. Dịka e dere ya, “Onye nzọpụta ga-esite na Zayọn bịa. Ọ ga-eme ka Jekọb site na ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke chigharịa.
27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
Nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ m nke dị nʼetiti mụ na ha, mgbe m wepụrụ mmehie ha niile.”
28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
Nʼihe banyere oziọma, ha bụ ndị iro nke Chineke nʼihi unu. Ma a bịa nʼihe gbasara nhọpụta, ha bụ ndị nke a hụrụ nʼanya nʼihi ndị nna nna ha.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
Nʼihi na enye anarakwa adịghị nʼonyinye nakwa ọkpụkpọ Chineke.
30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
Unu onwe unu ndị na-enupuru Chineke isi na mbụ, anatala ebere ya ugbu a, nʼihi nnupu isi ha.
31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
Otu a ka ọ dịkwa, ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi ugbu a ka ha nwe ike soro unu keta oke site nʼebere Chineke meere unu.
Nʼihi na Chineke enyefeela onye ọbụla nʼaka nnupu isi, ka o si otu a gosi mmadụ niile obi ebere ya. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
Leenụ ka o si dị omimi bụ akụ ahụ Chineke nwere! Lee ka ịba ụba nke amamihe ya na ihe ọmụma ya siri dị ukwuu! Apụghị ịchọpụta ikpe ya niile, ụzọ ya niile bụkwa ihe apụghị ịchọpụta.
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
“Onye maara uche Onyenwe anyị? Ma ọ bụ onye bụ onye ahụ na-enye ya ndụmọdụ?”
35 Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
“Onye burula ụzọ nye Chineke ihe, nke ga-eme ka Chineke kwụghachi ya?”
