Romans 11
1 I say, then—Hath God cast off his people? Far be it! For, I also, am an Israelite, —of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
我且说， 神弃绝了他的百姓吗？断乎没有！因为我也是以色列人，亚伯拉罕的后裔，属便雅悯支派的。
2 God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in [the account of] Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?
神并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓。你们岂不晓得经上论到以利亚是怎么说的呢？他在 神面前怎样控告以色列人说：
3 Lord! Thy prophets, have they slain, thine altars, have they overthrown, and, I, am left alone, and they are seeking my life!
“主啊，他们杀了你的先知，拆了你的祭坛，只剩下我一个人；他们还要寻索我的命。”
4 But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.
神的回话是怎么说的呢？他说：“我为自己留下七千人，是未曾向巴力屈膝的。”
5 Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.
如今也是这样，照着拣选的恩典，还有所留的余数。
6 If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour!
既是出于恩典，就不在乎行为；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。
7 What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained: —the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; —
这是怎么样呢？以色列人所求的，他们没有得着。惟有蒙拣选的人得着了；其余的就成了顽梗不化的。
8 Even as it is written—God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor, —eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, —until this very day;
如经上所记： 神给他们昏迷的心， 眼睛不能看见， 耳朵不能听见， 直到今日。
9 And, David, saith—Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them,
大卫也说： 愿他们的筵席变为网罗，变为机槛， 变为绊脚石，作他们的报应。
10 Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down.
愿他们的眼睛昏蒙，不得看见； 愿你时常弯下他们的腰。
11 I say then—Did they stumble in order that they might fall? Far be it! But, by their fall, salvation [hath come] unto the nations, to the end of provoking them to jealousy.
我且说，他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗？断乎不是！反倒因他们的过失，救恩便临到外邦人，要激动他们发愤。
12 If, moreover, their fall, is the riches of a world, and their loss, the riches of nations, how much rather their fullness?
若他们的过失为天下的富足，他们的缺乏为外邦人的富足，何况他们的丰满呢？
13 Unto you, however, am I speaking, —you of the nations; inasmuch, indeed, then, as, I, am an apostle to the nations, my ministry, I glorify,
我对你们外邦人说这话；因我是外邦人的使徒，所以敬重我的职分，
14 If by any means I may provoke to jealousy my own flesh, and save some from among them; —
或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤，好救他们一些人。
15 For, if, the casting away of them, hath become the reconciling of a world, what shall, the taking of them in addition, be, but life from among the dead?
若他们被丢弃，天下就得与 神和好，他们被收纳，岂不是死而复生吗？
16 If, moreover, the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [shall be] also; and, if the root [is] holy, the branches [shall be] also.
所献的新面若是圣洁，全团也就圣洁了；树根若是圣洁，树枝也就圣洁了。
17 If, however, some of the branches, have been broken out, and, thou, being a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and hast become a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive,
若有几根枝子被折下来，你这野橄榄得接在其中，一同得着橄榄根的肥汁，
18 Be not boasting over the branches! Howbeit, if thou boast, it is not, thou, that bearest the root, but the root, thee!
你就不可向旧枝子夸口；若是夸口，当知道不是你托着根，乃是根托着你。
19 Thou wilt say, then—Branches were broken out in order that, I, might he grafted in.
你若说，那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上。
20 Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, —and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand!—Regard not lofty things, but be afraid;
不错！他们因为不信，所以被折下来；你因为信，所以立得住；你不可自高，反要惧怕。
21 For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!
神既不爱惜原来的枝子，也必不爱惜你。
22 See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity, —but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness, —otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;
可见， 神的恩慈和严厉向那跌倒的人是严厉的，向你是有恩慈的，只要你长久在他的恩慈里；不然，你也要被砍下来。
23 Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!
而且他们若不是长久不信，仍要被接上，因为 神能够把他们从新接上。
24 For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural [branches] be engrafted into their own olive tree?
你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的，尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上，何况这本树的枝子，要接在本树上呢！
25 For I wish not, ye should be ignorant, brethren, of this sacred secret, lest within yourselves ye be presumptuous, that, a hardening in part, hath befallen Israel, until, the full measure of the nations, shall come in;
弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘（恐怕你们自以为聪明），就是以色列人有几分是硬心的，等到外邦人的数目添满了，
26 And, so, all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written—There shall have come out of Zion the Deliverer, —He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
于是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记： 必有一位救主从锡安出来， 要消除雅各家的一切罪恶；
27 And, this, for them, is the covenant from me, as soon as I take away their sins.
又说：我除去他们罪的时候， 这就是我与他们所立的约。
28 As touching the joyful-message, indeed, they are enemies for your sake, but, as touching the election, beloved for their father’s sake;
就着福音说，他们为你们的缘故是仇敌；就着拣选说，他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的。
29 For, not to be regretted, are the gifts and the calling of God: —
因为 神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的。
30 For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,
你们从前不顺服 神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜恤。
31 So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;
这样，他们也是不顺服，叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤，现在也就蒙怜恤。
32 For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
因为 神将众人都圈在不顺服之中，特意要怜恤众人。 (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!
深哉， 神丰富的智慧和知识！ 他的判断何其难测！ 他的踪迹何其难寻！
34 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor?
谁知道主的心？ 谁作过他的谋士呢？
35 Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
谁是先给了他， 使他后来偿还呢？
