Romans 11
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Mgbe ahụ a na m ajụ, ọ ga-abụ na Chineke ajụla ndị ya? Mba, nke a apụghị ime, nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụkwa onye Izrel. Abụ m nwa nwa Ebraham, onye si nʼagbụrụ Benjamin pụta.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,
Chineke ajụbeghị ndị ya bụ ndị ọ họpụtara site na mmalite ihe niile. Ọ bụ na unu amaghị ihe akwụkwọ nsọ na-ekwu banyere Ịlaịja, otu o siri rịọ Chineke arịrịọ megide ụmụ Izrel?
3 “Lord, they have killed yoʋr prophets and demolished yoʋr altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life”?
“Onyenwe m, ha egbuchala ndị amụma gị niile, mebisiekwa ebe ịchụ aja gị niile, maọbụ naanị m fọdụrụ. Ha na-achọkwa ụzọ igbu m.”
4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed down to Baal.”
Gịnị bụ ọsịsa Chineke nyere ya? “E nwere m puku mmadụ asaa ọzọ ndị hụrụ m nʼanya, ndị na-egbubeghị ikpere ha nʼala nye Baal.”
5 So then, in the present time also there is a remnant chosen by grace.
Otu a ka ọ dịkwa nʼoge dị ugbu a, a họrọla mmadụ ole na ole site nʼamara ya.
6 Now if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace. But if it is by works, it is no longer grace, otherwise work would no longer be work.
Ọ bụrụ na o sitere nʼamara, o sighịzikwa nʼọrụ. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na o si nʼọrụ, amara ya abụghịkwa amara nʼeziokwu.
7 What then? Israel did not obtain what it was seeking. The chosen obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
Gịnịkwa? Ihe ndị Izrel jiri ike ha niile na-achọ nke ha na-achọtaghị ka ndị a họpụtara chọtara. Ndị nke ọzọ mechiri obi ha.
8 as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, down to this very day.”
Dịka e dere ya, “Chineke nyere ha mmụọ na-eme mmadụ iberiibe. O nyela ha anya nke ha na-ejighị ahụ ụzọ, nyekwa ha ntị nke ha na-ejighị anụ ihe; o mere nke a ruo taa.”
9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
Devid kwukwara, “Ka tebul ha ghọọrọ ha igbudu na ọnya, ha bụrụkwa ihe ịsọ ngọngọ na ntaramahụhụ nye ha.
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and keep their backs forever bent.”
Ka anya ha gbaa ọchịchịrị, ka ha gharakwa ịhụ ụzọ. Mee ka azụ ha bụrụ ihe arọjiri arọji ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
11 I ask then, did the Israelites stumble so as to fall? Certainly not! Rather, by their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke Israel to jealousy.
Ajụjụ ọzọ m na-ajụ bụ nke a: Ọ ga-abụ na ha sụrụ ngọngọ ka ha daa ma ghara ibilite ọzọ? Ọ bụghị otu a! Kama nʼihi mmehie ha, nzọpụta rutere ndị mba ọzọ ka e sitekwa na nke a kpalie ekworo nʼime ụmụ Izrel.
12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will it mean when their full number is included?
Ma ọ bụrụ na mmehie ha wetara akụnụba nye ụwa, ọ bụrụkwa na ịbụ ogbenye ha wetara ngọzị nye ndị mba ọzọ, ọ bụ na ngọzị babigara ụba oke agaghị adị mgbe a ga-agụkọta ọnụọgụgụ ha niile?
13 Now I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry
Ugbu a, unu ndị mba ọzọ, ka m na-agwa okwu. Ọ bụ ezie na mụ onwe m bụ onyeozi nye ndị mba ọzọ, ana m enwe afọ ojuju nʼihi ije ozi m.
14 if somehow I provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
Nʼihi na enwere m olileanya na, ma eleghị anya, apụrụ m isite nʼụzọ a kpasuo ekworo nʼime ụfọdụ ụmụnna m, ka e site nʼekworo ha zọpụta ụfọdụ nʼime ha.
15 For if their rejection means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ site nʼọjụjụ a jụrụ ha ka e siri mee ka ụwa dịrị na mma, gịnị ga-eme mgbe a nabatara ha? Ọ ga-adị ka i si nʼọnwụ bilie ọzọ, nwee ndụ ọzọ.
16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Ebe ọ bụkwa na iberibe achịcha e jiri chụọ aja bụ ihe dị nsọ, mgbe ahụ, achịcha ahụ niile bụ ihe dị nsọ. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na mgbọrọgwụ osisi dị nsọ, otu a kwa, alaka ya ga-adịkwa nsọ.
17 Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and yoʋ, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in among them and have become a fellow partaker of the root and richness of the olive tree,
Ma a nyakapụrụ ụfọdụ alaka osisi a, werekwa unu bụ alaka osisi oliv ọhịa nyapagide nʼọnọdụ ha. Ya mere, unu esorola keta oke na ngọzị sitere na mgbọrọgwụ osisi oliv ahụ.
18 do not boast against the branches. But if yoʋ do boast against them, remember that yoʋ do not sustain the root, but the root sustains yoʋ.
Ma unu ekwesighị ịnya isi na a dọkapụrụ alaka ndị ọzọ were unu dochie nʼọnọdụ ha. Ihe unu na-aghaghị ịmata bụ nke a: unu bụ naanị alaka dị nʼosisi. Ọ bụghị unu na-ebu mgbọrọgwụ osisi, kama ọ bụ mgbọrọgwụ osisi na-ebu unu.
19 Yoʋ will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
Ma eleghị anya unu nwere ike kwuo, “Ma a nyakapụrụ alaka ụfọdụ e nwee ohere ebe a ga-anyapagide anyị.”
20 Right! They were broken off because of unbelief, but yoʋ stand because of faith. So do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
Nke ahụ bụ eziokwu. Ma chetakwanụ na a nyakapụrụ ha nʼihi ekweghị ekwe ha, ma unu nọ naanị site nʼokwukwe. Ya mere anyala isi, kama na-atụ egwu.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare yoʋ either.
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na Chineke emereghị alaka nke osisi ahụ wapụtara nʼonwe ya ebere, ọ gaghị emekwara gị ebere.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those who have fallen, severity; but to yoʋ, kindness, if yoʋ continue in his kindness; otherwise yoʋ too will be cut off.
Ya mere, tulee obiọma na aka ike Chineke, aka ike nʼebe ndị dara ada nọ, ma obiọma nʼebe unu nọ, naanị mgbe unu na-anọgideghị nʼobi ebere ya, ma ọ bụghị ya, ọ ga-anyakapụkwa unu.
23 And if they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha anọgideghị na-ekweghị ekwe, a ga-anyapagidekwa ha nʼihi na Chineke pụrụ ịnyapagide ha ọzọ.
24 For if yoʋ were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?
Nʼihi na asị na e gbupụtara unu site nʼalaka osisi oliv ọhịa, nyapagide unu nʼosisi oliv ọma ahụ nʼụzọ na-abụghị usoro ndụ, gịnị kwanụ ga-egbochi ịnabata alaka ndị ya, bụ ndị si na ya, mee ka ha laghachi azụ nʼosisi oliv ahụ e si nyakapụ ha.
25 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation: A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles has come in,
Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ka unu mata ihe omimi a, ka unu ghara ịnya isi. Nnupu isi ụfọdụ ụmụ Izrel agaghị adịgide kama ọ ga-adị ruo nʼoge ọnụọgụgụ ndị mba ọzọ a ga-anabata zuru.
26 and in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion and will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”
Mgbe ahụ, a ga-azọpụta Izrel niile. Dịka e dere ya, “Onye nzọpụta ga-esite na Zayọn bịa. Ọ ga-eme ka Jekọb site na ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke chigharịa.
27 “And this will be my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”
Nke a bụ ọgbụgba ndụ m nke dị nʼetiti mụ na ha, mgbe m wepụrụ mmehie ha niile.”
28 With respect to the gospel, the Israelites are enemies for your sake; but with respect to being chosen, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
Nʼihe banyere oziọma, ha bụ ndị iro nke Chineke nʼihi unu. Ma a bịa nʼihe gbasara nhọpụta, ha bụ ndị nke a hụrụ nʼanya nʼihi ndị nna nna ha.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.
Nʼihi na enye anarakwa adịghị nʼonyinye nakwa ọkpụkpọ Chineke.
30 Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
Unu onwe unu ndị na-enupuru Chineke isi na mbụ, anatala ebere ya ugbu a, nʼihi nnupu isi ha.
31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they also may receive mercy.
Otu a ka ọ dịkwa, ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi ugbu a ka ha nwe ike soro unu keta oke site nʼebere Chineke meere unu.
Nʼihi na Chineke enyefeela onye ọbụla nʼaka nnupu isi, ka o si otu a gosi mmadụ niile obi ebere ya. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches, wisdom, and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and untraceable his ways!
Leenụ ka o si dị omimi bụ akụ ahụ Chineke nwere! Lee ka ịba ụba nke amamihe ya na ihe ọmụma ya siri dị ukwuu! Apụghị ịchọpụta ikpe ya niile, ụzọ ya niile bụkwa ihe apụghị ịchọpụta.
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has become his counselor?”
“Onye maara uche Onyenwe anyị? Ma ọ bụ onye bụ onye ahụ na-enye ya ndụmọdụ?”
35 “Or who has first given to God, that he should be repaid?”
“Onye burula ụzọ nye Chineke ihe, nke ga-eme ka Chineke kwụghachi ya?”
