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.
īśvareṇa svīkīyalokā apasāritā ahaṁ kim īdṛśaṁ vākyaṁ bravīmi? tanna bhavatu yato'hamapi binyāmīnagotrīya ibrāhīmavaṁśīya isrāyelīyaloko'smi|
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:
īśvareṇa pūrvvaṁ ye pradṛṣṭāste svakīyalokā apasāritā iti nahi| aparam eliyopākhyāne śāstre yallikhitam āste tad yūyaṁ kiṁ na jānītha?
3 “Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.”
he parameśvara lokāstvadīyāḥ sarvvā yajñavedīrabhañjan tathā tava bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ sarvvān aghnan kevala eko'ham avaśiṣṭa āse te mamāpi prāṇān nāśayituṁ ceṣṭanate, etāṁ kathām isrāyelīyalokānāṁ viruddham eliya īśvarāya nivedayāmāsa|
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.”
tatastaṁ pratīśvarasyottaraṁ kiṁ jātaṁ? bālnāmno devasya sākṣāt yai rjānūni na pātitāni tādṛśāḥ sapta sahasrāṇi lokā avaśeṣitā mayā|
5 In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.
tadvad etasmin varttamānakāle'pi anugraheṇābhirucitāsteṣām avaśiṣṭāḥ katipayā lokāḥ santi|
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?
ataeva tad yadyanugraheṇa bhavati tarhi kriyayā na bhavati no ced anugraho'nanugraha eva, yadi vā kriyayā bhavati tarhyanugraheṇa na bhavati no cet kriyā kriyaiva na bhavati|
7 What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
tarhi kiṁ? isrāyelīyalokā yad amṛgayanta tanna prāpuḥ| kintvabhirucitalokāstat prāpustadanye sarvva andhībhūtāḥ|
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.”
yathā likhitam āste, ghoranidrālutābhāvaṁ dṛṣṭihīne ca locane| karṇau śrutivihīnau ca pradadau tebhya īśvaraḥ||
9 And David saith, “Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them;
etesmin dāyūdapi likhitavān yathā, ato bhuktyāsanaṁ teṣām unmāthavad bhaviṣyati| vā vaṁśayantravad bādhā daṇḍavad vā bhaviṣyati||
10 let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway.”
bhaviṣyanti tathāndhāste netraiḥ paśyanti no yathā| vepathuḥ kaṭideśasya teṣāṁ nityaṁ bhaviṣyati||
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.
patanārthaṁ te skhalitavanta iti vācaṁ kimahaṁ vadāmi? tanna bhavatu kintu tān udyoginaḥ karttuṁ teṣāṁ patanād itaradeśīyalokaiḥ paritrāṇaṁ prāptaṁ|
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?
teṣāṁ patanaṁ yadi jagato lokānāṁ lābhajanakam abhavat teṣāṁ hrāso'pi yadi bhinnadeśināṁ lābhajanako'bhavat tarhi teṣāṁ vṛddhiḥ kati lābhajanikā bhaviṣyati?
13 For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office,
ato he anyadeśino yuṣmān sambodhya kathayāmi nijānāṁ jñātibandhūnāṁ manaḥsūdyogaṁ janayan teṣāṁ madhye kiyatāṁ lokānāṁ yathā paritrāṇaṁ sādhayāmi
14 that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
tannimittam anyadeśināṁ nikaṭe preritaḥ san ahaṁ svapadasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayāmi|
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?
teṣāṁ nigraheṇa yadīśvareṇa saha jagato janānāṁ melanaṁ jātaṁ tarhi teṣām anugṛhītatvaṁ mṛtadehe yathā jīvanalābhastadvat kiṁ na bhaviṣyati?
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.
aparaṁ prathamajātaṁ phalaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi sarvvameva phalaṁ pavitraṁ bhaviṣyati; tathā mūlaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi śākhā api tathaiva bhaviṣyanti|
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,
kiyatīnāṁ śākhānāṁ chedane kṛte tvaṁ vanyajitavṛkṣasya śākhā bhūtvā yadi tacchākhānāṁ sthāne ropitā sati jitavṛkṣīyamūlasya rasaṁ bhuṁkṣe,
18 boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.
tarhi tāsāṁ bhinnaśākhānāṁ viruddhaṁ māṁ garvvīḥ; yadi garvvasi tarhi tvaṁ mūlaṁ yanna dhārayasi kintu mūlaṁ tvāṁ dhārayatīti saṁsmara|
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
aparañca yadi vadasi māṁ ropayituṁ tāḥ śākhā vibhannā abhavan;
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.
bhadram, apratyayakāraṇāt te vibhinnā jātāstathā viśvāsakāraṇāt tvaṁ ropito jātastasmād ahaṅkāram akṛtvā sasādhvaso bhava|
21 For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.
yata īśvaro yadi svābhāvikīḥ śākhā na rakṣati tarhi sāvadhāno bhava cet tvāmapi na sthāpayati|
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.
ityatreśvarasya yādṛśī kṛpā tādṛśaṁ bhayānakatvamapi tvayā dṛśyatāṁ; ye patitāstān prati tasya bhayānakatvaṁ dṛśyatāṁ, tvañca yadi tatkṛpāśritastiṣṭhasi tarhi tvāṁ prati kṛpā drakṣyate; no cet tvamapi tadvat chinno bhaviṣyasi|
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.
aparañca te yadyapratyaye na tiṣṭhanti tarhi punarapi ropayiṣyante yasmāt tān punarapi ropayitum iśvarasya śaktirāste|
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?
vanyajitavṛkṣasya śākhā san tvaṁ yadi tataśchinno rītivyatyayenottamajitavṛkṣe ropito'bhavastarhi tasya vṛkṣasya svīyā yāḥ śākhāstāḥ kiṁ punaḥ svavṛkṣe saṁlagituṁ na śaknuvanti?
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.
he bhrātaro yuṣmākam ātmābhimāno yanna jāyate tadarthaṁ mamedṛśī vāñchā bhavati yūyaṁ etannigūḍhatattvam ajānanto yanna tiṣṭhatha; vastuto yāvatkālaṁ sampūrṇarūpeṇa bhinnadeśināṁ saṁgraho na bhaviṣyati tāvatkālam aṁśatvena isrāyelīyalokānām andhatā sthāsyati;
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.
paścāt te sarvve paritrāsyante; etādṛśaṁ likhitamapyāste, āgamiṣyati sīyonād eko yastrāṇadāyakaḥ| adharmmaṁ yākubo vaṁśāt sa tu dūrīkariṣyati|
27 And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins.”
tathā dūrīkariṣyāmi teṣāṁ pāpānyahaṁ yadā| tadā taireva sārddhaṁ me niyamo'yaṁ bhaviṣyati|
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.
susaṁvādāt te yuṣmākaṁ vipakṣā abhavan kintvabhirucitatvāt te pitṛlokānāṁ kṛte priyapātrāṇi bhavanti|
29 For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.
yata īśvarasya dānād āhvānāñca paścāttāpo na bhavati|
30 For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
ataeva pūrvvam īśvare'viśvāsinaḥ santo'pi yūyaṁ yadvat samprati teṣām aviśvāsakāraṇād īśvarasya kṛpāpātrāṇi jātāstadvad
31 so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.
idānīṁ te'viśvāsinaḥ santi kintu yuṣmābhi rlabdhakṛpākāraṇāt tairapi kṛpā lapsyate|
īśvaraḥ sarvvān prati kṛpāṁ prakāśayituṁ sarvvān aviśvāsitvena gaṇayati| (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!
aho īśvarasya jñānabuddhirūpayo rdhanayoḥ kīdṛk prācuryyaṁ| tasya rājaśāsanasya tattvaṁ kīdṛg aprāpyaṁ| tasya mārgāśca kīdṛg anupalakṣyāḥ|
34 For “who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?”
parameśvarasya saṅkalpaṁ ko jñātavān? tasya mantrī vā ko'bhavat?
35 or “who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?”
ko vā tasyopakārī bhṛtvā tatkṛte tena pratyupakarttavyaḥ?
