Romans 11
1 I say then, did God cast away His people? Let it not be! For I am also an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
Anis, “Egaa Waaqni saba isaa ni gatee ree?” jedhee nan gaafadha. Kun gonkumaa akkas miti! Ani iyyuu Israaʼelicha, sanyii Abrahaam keessaa gosa Beniyaam.
2 God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have you not known—in Elijah—what the Writing says? How he pleads with God concerning Israel, saying,
Waaqni saba isaa warra duraan dursee beeke sana hin ganne; isin waaʼee Eeliyaas, inni akkamitti Waaqa duratti akka Israaʼelin himate Katabbiin Qulqulluun maal akka jedhu hin beektanii? Innis akkana jedha:
3 “LORD, they killed Your prophets, and they dug down Your altars, and I was left alone, and they seek my life”;
“Yaa Gooftaa isaan raajota kee ajjeesaniiru; iddoo aarsaa keetii illee diiganiiru; anuma qofatu hafe; anas ajjeesuu barbaadu.”
4 but what does the divine answer say to him? “I left to Myself seven thousand men who did not bow a knee to Ba‘al.”
Garuu deebiin Waaqni isaaf kenne maal ture? “Ani ofii kootiif namoota Baʼaaliif hin jilbeenfatin 7,000 hambifadheera.”
5 So then also in the present time there has been a remnant according to the [divine] selection of grace;
Akkasuma yeroo ammaas hambaawwan ayyaanaan filataman jiru.
6 and if by grace, no longer of works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace; and if of works, it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.
Erga ayyaanaan taʼe immoo siʼachi hojiin miti; utuu hojiin taʼee immoo ayyaanni silaa ayyaana hin taʼu ture.
7 What then? What Israel seeks after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen obtained, and the rest were hardened,
Egaa maali ree? Israaʼel waan jabeessee barbaade sana hin arganne; warri filataman garuu argataniiru. Warri kaan immoo mataa jabaatan.
8 according as it has been written: “God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, to this very day,”
Kunis isa, “Waaqni hamma guyyaa harʼaatti, akka iji isaanii hin argineef, akka gurri isaaniis hin dhageenyeef, hafuura nama dawweessu isaaniif kenne” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
9 and David says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a repayment to them;
Daawitis akkana jedha; “Maaddiin isaanii iddaa fi kiyyoo, gufuu nama gufachiisuu fi adaba isaanitti haa taʼu.
10 let their eyes be darkened—not to behold, and You always bow down their back.”
Akka arguu hin dandeenyeef iji isaanii haa haguuggamu; dugdi isaaniis bara baraan haa goophatu.”
11 I say then, did they stumble that they might fall? Let it not be! But by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
Anis deebisee, “Isaan hamma kufanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyetti gufatanii?” jedheen gaafadha. Kun gonkumaa akkas miti! Garuu akka sabni Israaʼel hinaafuuf sababii balleessaa isaaniitiif fayyinni Namoota Ormaatiif dhufe.
12 and if their fall [is] the riches of [the] world, and their diminishment the riches of nations, how much more their fullness?
Yoos erga balleessaan isaanii addunyaaf badhaadhummaa fidee, kufaatiin isaaniis erga Namoota Ormaatiif badhaadhummaa fidee, guutummaan isaanii immoo hammam caalaa badhaadhummaa haa fiduu ree?
13 For to you I speak—to the nations—inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
Yaa Namoota Ormaa, ani isinittin dubbadha. Ani waanan ergamaa Namoota Ormaa taʼeef, tajaajila koo nan kabaja.
14 if I will arouse my own flesh to jealousy by any means, and will save some of them,
Kanaanis ani tarii saba koo hinaaffaaf kakaasee isaan keessaa tokko tokko fayyisuu abdadhee ti.
15 for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception—if not life out of the dead?
Erga gatamuun isaanii addunyaaf araara fidee, fudhatamuun isaanii immoo warra duʼan keessaa jireenyatti kaafamuu malee maal fida ree?
16 And if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.
Kutaan bukoo kan akka kennaa hangafaatti dhiʼeeffame tokko erga qulqulluu taʼee, bukoon guutuun qulqulluu dha; hiddi erga qulqulluu taʼee, dameewwan isaas akkasuma qulqulloota.
17 And if certain of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree—
Dameewwan sana keessaa tokko tokko caccabsamnaan ati utuma lataa ejersa bosonaa taatee jirtuu iddoo dameewwan caccabaniitti fayyifamtee soora hidda ejersaa irraa argamu kan qooddattu taanaan,
18 do not boast against the branches; and if you boast, you do not bear the root, but the root you!
dameewwan sanatti hin koorin. Yoo of jajje garuu hidda sanatu si baata malee akka ati hidda sana hin baanne hubadhu.
19 You will say, then, “The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in”; right!
Atis, “Akka ani itti fayyifamuuf dameewwan sun caccabsaman” ni jetta.
20 By unbelief they were broken off, and you have stood by faith; do not be high-minded, but be fearing;
Kun dhuguma. Isaan waan amantii hin qabneef caccabsaman; ati garuu amantiidhaan dhaabatteerta. Kanaafuu sodaadhu malee of hin tuulin.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches—lest perhaps He also will not spare you.
Waaqni yoo dameewwan uumamaatiif hin hilin siifis hin hiluutii.
22 Behold, then, goodness and severity of God—on those indeed who fell, severity; and on you, goodness, if you may remain in the goodness, otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Egaa arjummaa fi gara jabina Waaqaa hubadhu: gara jabinni isaa warra kufan irratti; arjummaan isaa garuu hamma ati arjummaa isaa keessa jiraattutti siif; yoo kanaa achii atis ni kutamta.
23 And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again;
Isaanis yoo amantii dhabuutti fufuu baatan itti fayyifamu; Waaqni deebisee itti isaan fayyisuu ni dandaʼaatii.
24 for if you, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, were cut out, and contrary to nature, were grafted into a good olive tree, how much rather will they, who [are] according to nature, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Ati muka uumamaan ejersa bosonaa taʼe irraa muramtee karaa seera uumamaatiin ala taʼeen muka ejersaa kan dhaabame irratti erga fayyifamtee, dameewwan uumamaa kunneen hammam caalaa muka ejersa isaanii irratti deebifamanii hin fayyifaman ree!
25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of this secret—that you may not be wise in your own conceits—that hardness in part to Israel has happened until the fullness of the nations may come in;
Yaa obboloota, ani akka isin ogeeyyii of seetanii icciitii kana wallaaltan hin barbaadu; hamma lakkoobsi Namoota Ormaa guutuun seenutti Israaʼel gariin mata jabinaan jiraachaa turan.
26 and so all Israel will be saved, according as it has been written: “There will come forth out of Zion He who is delivering, and He will turn away impiety from Jacob,
Kanaafuu Israaʼel hundi ni fayyu; akkana jedhamee barreeffameeraatii: “Inni furu Xiyoonii ni dhufa; Yaaqoob irraas Waaqa malee jiraachuu ni balleessa.
27 and this to them [is] the covenant from Me when I may take away their sins.”
Yommuu ani cubbuu isaanii isaan irraa fuudhutti, kakuun koo kan ani isaan wajjin qabu kana.”
28 As regards, indeed, the good tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; and as regards the [divine] selection—beloved on account of the fathers;
Akka wangeelaatti isiniif jecha isaan diinota; akka filannootti garuu abbootiif jecha isaan jaallatamoo dha;
29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable;
kennaan Waaqaatii fi waamichi isaa gaabbii hin qabuutii.
30 for as you also once did not believe in God, and now found kindness by the unbelief of these,
Akkuma isin kanaan dura Waaqaaf ajajamuu diddanii amma garuu ajajamuu diduu isaaniitiin araara argattan sana
31 so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;
isaanis akkasuma araara Waaqaa kan isin argattaniin akka araara argataniif amma ajajamuu didan.
32 for God shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. (eleēsē g1653)
Waaqni hunduma isaaniitiif araara buusuuf jedhee namoota hunda ajajamuu diduu jala galche. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
Badhaadhummaan ogummaatii fi beekumsa Waaqaa hammam gad fagaata! Murtiin isaa qoramee bira hin gaʼamu! Karaan isaas barbaadamee itti hin baʼamu!
34 For who knew the mind of the LORD? Or who became His counselor?
“Eenyutu yaada garaa Gooftaa beeke? Yookaan eenyutu gorsaa isaa ture?”
35 Or who first gave to Him, and it will be given back to him again?
“Yookaan akka Waaqni deebisee isaaf kennuuf jedhee, eenyutu takkumaa Waaqaaf waa kenne?”
