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:
īśvareṇa svīkīyalokā apasāritā ahaṁ kim īdṛśaṁ vākyaṁ bravīmi? tanna bhavatu yato'hamapi binyāmīnagotrīya ibrāhīmavaṁśīya isrāyelīyaloko'smi|
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?
īśvareṇa pūrvvaṁ ye pradṛṣṭāste svakīyalokā apasāritā iti nahi| aparam eliyopākhyāne śāstre yallikhitam āste tad yūyaṁ kiṁ na jānītha?
3 Lord! Thy prophets, have they slain, thine altars, have they overthrown, 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 unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.
tatastaṁ pratīśvarasyottaraṁ kiṁ jātaṁ? bālnāmno devasya sākṣāt yai rjānūni na pātitāni tādṛśāḥ sapta sahasrāṇi lokā avaśeṣitā mayā|
5 Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being.
tadvad etasmin varttamānakāle'pi anugraheṇābhirucitāsteṣām avaśiṣṭāḥ katipayā lokāḥ santi|
6 If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour!
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 then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained: —the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; —
tarhi kiṁ? isrāyelīyalokā yad amṛgayanta tanna prāpuḥ| kintvabhirucitalokāstat prāpustadanye sarvva andhībhūtāḥ|
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;
yathā likhitam āste, ghoranidrālutābhāvaṁ dṛṣṭihīne ca locane| karṇau śrutivihīnau ca pradadau tebhya īśvaraḥ||
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,
etesmin dāyūdapi likhitavān yathā, ato bhuktyāsanaṁ teṣām unmāthavad bhaviṣyati| vā vaṁśayantravad bādhā daṇḍavad vā bhaviṣyati||
10 Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down.
bhaviṣyanti tathāndhāste netraiḥ paśyanti no yathā| vepathuḥ kaṭideśasya teṣāṁ nityaṁ bhaviṣyati||
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.
patanārthaṁ te skhalitavanta iti vācaṁ kimahaṁ vadāmi? tanna bhavatu kintu tān udyoginaḥ karttuṁ teṣāṁ patanād itaradeśīyalokaiḥ paritrāṇaṁ prāptaṁ|
12 If, moreover, their fall, is the riches of a world, and their loss, the riches of nations, how much rather their fullness?
teṣāṁ patanaṁ yadi jagato lokānāṁ lābhajanakam abhavat teṣāṁ hrāso'pi yadi bhinnadeśināṁ lābhajanako'bhavat tarhi teṣāṁ vṛddhiḥ kati lābhajanikā bhaviṣyati?
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,
ato he anyadeśino yuṣmān sambodhya kathayāmi nijānāṁ jñātibandhūnāṁ manaḥsūdyogaṁ janayan teṣāṁ madhye kiyatāṁ lokānāṁ yathā paritrāṇaṁ sādhayāmi
14 If by any means I may provoke to jealousy my own flesh, and save some from among them; —
tannimittam anyadeśināṁ nikaṭe preritaḥ san ahaṁ svapadasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayāmi|
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?
teṣāṁ nigraheṇa yadīśvareṇa saha jagato janānāṁ melanaṁ jātaṁ tarhi teṣām anugṛhītatvaṁ mṛtadehe yathā jīvanalābhastadvat kiṁ na bhaviṣyati?
16 If, moreover, the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [shall be] also; and, if the root [is] holy, the branches [shall be] also.
aparaṁ prathamajātaṁ phalaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi sarvvameva phalaṁ pavitraṁ bhaviṣyati; tathā mūlaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi śākhā api tathaiva bhaviṣyanti|
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,
kiyatīnāṁ śākhānāṁ chedane kṛte tvaṁ vanyajitavṛkṣasya śākhā bhūtvā yadi tacchākhānāṁ sthāne ropitā sati jitavṛkṣīyamūlasya rasaṁ bhuṁkṣe,
18 Be not boasting over the branches! Howbeit, if thou boast, it is not, thou, that bearest 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—Branches were broken out in order that, I, might he grafted in.
aparañca yadi vadasi māṁ ropayituṁ tāḥ śākhā vibhannā abhavan;
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;
bhadram, apratyayakāraṇāt te vibhinnā jātāstathā viśvāsakāraṇāt tvaṁ ropito jātastasmād ahaṅkāram akṛtvā sasādhvaso bhava|
21 For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!
yata īśvaro yadi svābhāvikīḥ śākhā na rakṣati tarhi sāvadhāno bhava cet tvāmapi na sthāpayati|
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;
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 Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!
aparañca te yadyapratyaye na tiṣṭhanti tarhi punarapi ropayiṣyante yasmāt tān punarapi ropayitum iśvarasya śaktirāste|
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?
vanyajitavṛkṣasya śākhā san tvaṁ yadi tataśchinno rītivyatyayenottamajitavṛkṣe ropito'bhavastarhi tasya vṛkṣasya svīyā yāḥ śākhāstāḥ kiṁ punaḥ svavṛkṣe saṁlagituṁ na śaknuvanti?
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;
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, 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;
paścāt te sarvve paritrāsyante; etādṛśaṁ likhitamapyāste, āgamiṣyati sīyonād eko yastrāṇadāyakaḥ| adharmmaṁ yākubo vaṁśāt sa tu dūrīkariṣyati|
27 And, this, for them, is the covenant from me, as soon as I take away their sins.
tathā dūrīkariṣyāmi teṣāṁ pāpānyahaṁ yadā| tadā taireva sārddhaṁ me niyamo'yaṁ bhaviṣyati|
28 As touching the joyful-message, indeed, they are enemies for your sake, but, as touching the election, beloved for their father’s sake;
susaṁvādāt te yuṣmākaṁ vipakṣā abhavan kintvabhirucitatvāt te pitṛlokānāṁ kṛte priyapātrāṇi bhavanti|
29 For, not to be regretted, are the gifts and the calling of God: —
yata īśvarasya dānād āhvānāñca paścāttāpo na bhavati|
30 For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,
ataeva pūrvvam īśvare'viśvāsinaḥ santo'pi yūyaṁ yadvat samprati teṣām aviśvāsakāraṇād īśvarasya kṛpāpātrāṇi jātāstadvad
31 So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;
idānīṁ te'viśvāsinaḥ santi kintu yuṣmābhi rlabdhakṛpākāraṇāt tairapi kṛpā lapsyate|
32 For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
īśvaraḥ sarvvān prati kṛpāṁ prakāśayituṁ sarvvān aviśvāsitvena gaṇayati| (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!
aho īśvarasya jñānabuddhirūpayo rdhanayoḥ kīdṛk prācuryyaṁ| tasya rājaśāsanasya tattvaṁ kīdṛg aprāpyaṁ| tasya mārgāśca kīdṛg anupalakṣyāḥ|
34 For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor?
parameśvarasya saṅkalpaṁ ko jñātavān? tasya mantrī vā ko'bhavat?
35 Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
ko vā tasyopakārī bhṛtvā tatkṛte tena pratyupakarttavyaḥ?
