Romans 11
1 I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Le hoe ty asako, Ke nifarien’ Añahare ondati’eo? Sondo’e izay! Izaho ka nte-Israele! tarira’ i Abraàme, fifokoa’ i Benjamina.
2 God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel:
Tsy napon’ Añahare ondaty niarofoana’e haehaeo. He tsy fohi’ areo ty nanoe’ i Sokitse Masiñey ty amy Elia, ie nitoreo aman’ Andrianañahare ty am’Israele?
3 “Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.”
O Talè, zinama’ iereo o mpitoki’oo, kinimokimo’ iereo o kitreli’oo; le honka’e raho vaho te hañe-doza amako iereo?
4 But what saith the answer of God to him? “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Aa le ino ty natoin’ Añahare aze: Fa nitanako ho ahy ty lahilaly fito-arivo tsy nanongaleke amy Baale.
5 In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.
Manahake izay, ao ty sehanga’e henaneo, jinoboñe ami’ty fatariha’e.
6 And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?
Aa kanao am-patarihañe, le tsy am-pimanemanean-dily; naho tsy izay tsy ho natao fatarihañe i fatarihañey.
7 What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
Aa le akore? Mboe tsy rinambe’ Israele i paia’ey, o jinoboñeo ro nandrambe, fe nampigañeñe ty ila’e,
8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day.”
ty amy pinatetsey: Tinolon’ Añahare arofo midebedebe iereo fihaino tsy mahaisake naho ravembia tsy mahajanjiñe pake henaneo.
9 And David saith, “Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them;
Hoe t’i Davide: Ee te ho fàndrike ty fandambaña’ iareoo, naho koboñe; naho vato mampitsikapy vaho fandilovañe am’ iareo.
10 let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway.”
Ehe te haieñe o fihaino’ iareoo, tsy hahaisake; le hivokoke nainai’e o lambosi’ iareoo.
11 I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation.
Aa le hoe iraho: Hera nitsikapy naho nikorovoke iereo? Sondo’e izay! te mone ninday fandrombahañe ho amo kilakila ondatio ty fikorovoha’ iareo, hampikirañe iareo.
12 But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?
Aa naho vara ho ami’ty voatse toy ty fandilara’ iareo, naho hanàñañe ho a o kilakila ondatio ty filesa’ iareo, sandrake t’ie fonireñe?
13 For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office,
(Inahareo kilakila’ ondatio ‘nio ro ivolañako). Aa kanao Firàhe’ o kilakila ondatio iraho, le ho sengèko i fitoroñakoy,
14 that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ke ao ty hampamarahieko amo toe nofokoo, hañahàñe ty ila’e.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead?
Fa kanao minday fifampilongoañe ami’ty voatse toy ty fifariañe iareo, le ho inoñe naho tsy haveloñe boak’ an-kavilasy t’ie rambeseñe?
16 And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches.
Naho miavake i loha-voay, le miavake ka ty vonga’e. Kanao miavake ty vahatse, le o singa’eo ka.
17 And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olive-tree,
Aa naho pinekapenkañe ty singa ila’e, le ihe, singan-oliva tsotra ty navitrañe amy iereo vaho natraoke ami’ty vahatse naho ty mena’ i hatae olivay,
18 boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.
le ko rengevohe’o o singa’eo, fa naho mirenge, Inao, tsy ihe ty mameloñe o vaha’eo, fa o vahatseo ro mameloñe azo.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Hera hanao ty hoe irehe: Va’e nipenkàñañe o singao hamitrañañe ahy ao.
20 Be it so. It was for their unbelief that they were broken off, and thou standest through thy faith; be not high-minded, but fear.
Eka; toe pinèkañe iereo ty amy tsy fatokisa’ iareo, fa ty fatokisa’o ro ijohaña’o. Aa le ko miriñake fa mañeveña;
21 For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.
fa kanao nifarien’ Añahare o toe singa’eo le mahafary azo ka.
22 Behold then the goodness and the severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.
Inao ty fatarihan’ Añahare naho ty hasarots’ arofo’e, ie tsy mihilotse amo nikorovokeo, fe ama’areo ty fatarihan’ Añahare naho toe mifahatse amy fatariha’ey, tsy mone haito.
23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
Ie ka, naho tsy mitoloñe an-tsi-fatokisañe, le havitrañe ao, amy te lefen’ Añahare ty hamitraña’e indraike.
24 For if thou hast been cut off from an olive-tree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olive-tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olive-stock?
Fa ihe binira amy hatae olivan’ alay vaho navitrañe amy hatae oliva navaeñe, mpirafe ama’ey, le antsake te mete havitrañe amy hatae oliva’ey o nisinga’eo.
25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.
Tsy noko, ry longo, ty hamoea’ areo o raha miheotse zao, tsy mone hihabo-kihitse ty amy hagoañe nahazo ty ila’ Israele ampara’ te tafazilike ao o kilakila’ ndaty mahahenekeo.
26 And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Ie amy zao, hene ho rombaheñe t’Israele, ty amy pinatetsey: Hiboak’ e Ziona ao t’i Mpijebañe; le haloli’e am’ Iakobe ty halotsere’e;
27 And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins.”
Le zao ty ho fañinako am’ iereo naho hahàko o hakeo’ iareoo.
28 In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but in regard to God's choice, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
Naho i talili-soay, le naitoañe iereo ty ama’ areo; f’ie naho o fijoboñañeo le ikokoañe ty aman-droae’ iareo.
29 For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.
Toe tsy hahàfeñe o falalàn’ Añahareo naho o fikanjia’eo.
30 For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
Fa hambañe ami’ty nanjehara’ areo an’ Andrianañahare taolo, fe iferenaiñañe henaneo ty amy fanjehara’ iareoy,
31 so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.
le manjehatse ka iereo henaneo, soa t’ie ami’ty fitretrezañe anahareo ro hiferenaiñañe.
Kila nagaben’ Añahare am-panjeharañe ao soa te hene hiferenaiña’e. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!
Ee ty halale’ o varan’ Añahareo, ty hilala’e naho ty hihi’e! Tsy hay karaofeñe o zaka’eo, naho tsy lefe tinoñeñe o lia’eo.
34 For “who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?”
Ia ty nahafohiñe ty faharofoana’ i Talè? Ia ty nimpanoro aze?
35 or “who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?”
Ia ty nanolotse ama’e aolo, hañavaha’e?
