Romans 11
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
DIGO pues: ¿Ha desechado Dios á su pueblo? En ninguna manera. Porque tambien yo soy Israelita, de la simiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamin.
2 God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
No ha desechado Dios á su pueblo al cual ántes conoció. O ¿no sabeis que dice de Elías la escritura? como hablando con Dios [dice] contra Israel:
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
Señor, á tus profetas han muerto y tus altares han derruido; y yo he quedado solo, y procuran matarme.
4 But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Mas ¿qué le dice la divina respuesta? He dejado para mí siete mil hombres que no han doblado la rodilla delante de Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Así tambien aun en este tiempo han quedado reliquias por la eleccion graciosa [de Dios.]
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Y si por gracia, luego no por las obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por las obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la eleccion lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos,
8 According as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
Como esta escrito: Dióles Dios espíritu de remordimiento, ojos con que no y vean, y oidos con que no oigan, hasta el dia de hoy.
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Y David dice: Séales vuelta su mesa en lazo, y en red, y en tropezadero, y en paga:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
Sus ojos sean oscurecidos para que no vean, y agóbiales siempre el espinazo.
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
Digo pues: ¿Han tropezado que cayesen [para siempre?] En ninguna manera; mas por el tropiezo de ellos [vino] la salud á los Gentiles, para que [por estos] fuesen provocados á zelos.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
Y si la falta de ellos es la riqueza del mundo, y el menoscabo de ellos la riqueza de los Gentiles, ¿cuánto más [lo será] el henchimiento de ellos,
13 For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
Porque á vosotros digo, Gentiles: por cuanto pues yo soy apóstol de los Gentiles, mi ministerio honro,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
[Por] si en alguna manera provocase á zelos á mi carne, é hiciese salvos algunos de ellos.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos [es] la reconciliacion del mundo, ¿qué [será] el recibimiento [de ellos, ] sino vida de los muertos,
16 If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Y si el primer fruto [es] santo, tambien [lo será] el todo; y si la raiz [es] santa, tambien [lo serán] las ramas.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;
Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raiz y de la grosura de la oliva,
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, [sabe que] no sustentas tú á la raiz, sino la raiz á tí.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
Pues las ramas, dirás, fueron quebradas, para que yo fuese ingerido.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Bien; por [su] incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pié. No te ensoberbezcas, ántes teme,
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Que si Dios no perdonó á las ramas naturales, á tí [tampoco] no perdone.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Mira pues la bondad, y la severidad de Dios: la severidad ciertamente en los que cayeron, mas la bondad para contigo, si permanecieres en la bondad, pues [de otra manera] tú tambien serás cortado.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Y aun ellos, si no permanecieren en incredulidad, serán ingeridos; que poderoso es Dios para volverlos á ingerir.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Porque si tú eres cortado del natural acebuche, y contra natura fuiste ingerido en la buena oliva, ¿cuánto más estos que son las [ramas] naturales, serán ingeridos en su oliva,
25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the non-Jews has come in,
Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoreis este misterio, para que no seais acerca de vosotros mismos arrogantes; [y es, ] que el endurecimiento en parte ha acontecido en Israel, hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los Gentiles.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Y luego todo Israel será salvo como está escrito: Vendrá de Sion el Libertador, que quitará de Jacob la impiedad:
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
Y este [será] mi pacto á ellos, cuando quitare sus pecados.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
Así que, cuanto al Evangelio, [son] enemigos por causa de vosotros: mas cuanto á la eleccion, [son] muy amados por causa de los padres.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Porque sin arrepentimiento [son] las mercedes y la vocacion de Dios.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Porque como tambien vosotros en algun tiempo no creisteis á Dios, mas ahora habeis alcanzado misericordia por [ocasion de] la incredulidad de ellos;
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
Así tambien estos ahora no han creido, para que, por [ocasion de] la misericordia para con vosotros, ellos tambien alcancen misericordia.
Porque Dios encerró á todos en incredulidad, para tener misericordia de todos. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out.
¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría y de la ciencia de Dios! ¡Cuan incomprensibles [son] sus juicios é inescrutables sus caminos!
34 For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
Porque ¿quién entendió la mente del Señor, ó ¿quién fué su consejero?
35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
O ¿quién le dió á él primero, para que le sea pagado?
