Romans 11
1 I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.
Koro apenjo niya, Ne Nyasaye okwedo jogo koso? Ooyo, ok kamano ngangʼ! An awuon an ja-Israel ma nyakwar Ibrahim, kendo ma ja-dhood Benjamin.
2 God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,
Nyasaye ne ok okwedo joge mane ongʼeyo chakre chon. Donge ungʼeyo gima Ndiko wacho kuom Elija, kaka noywagore ni Nyasaye nikech wach jo-Israel:
3 "Lord, they have put Thy Prophets to death, and have overthrown Thy altars; and, now that I alone remain, they are thirsting for my blood"?
“Ruoth, gisenego jonabi magi kendo gisemuko kendeni mag misango ma an kenda ema adongʼ, kendo gidwaro nega?”
4 But what did God say to him in reply? "I have reserved for Myself 7,000 men who have never bent the knee to Baal."
To Nyasaye to nodwoke niya, “An gi joga alufu abiriyo marito mapok okulore ka go chong-gi ne Baal.”
5 In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.
Kuom mano, kata sani bende pod nitie jomodongʼ, moyier kuom ngʼwono.
6 But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.
To ka en kuom ngʼwono, to mano nyiso ni koro ok yude kuom tim, nono to ngʼwono koro ok dibed ngʼwono adier.
7 How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.
To koro nadi? Gima Israel ne manyo gi tekrene duto ne ok onwangʼo, to joma oyier ema noyude. Joma moko duto chunygi nodoko matek,
8 And so Scripture says, "God has given them a spirit of drowsiness--eyes to see nothing with and ears to hear nothing with--even until now."
mana kaka ondiki niya, “Nyasaye nomiyogi chuny ma nindo tero, wenge ma ok nen, kod it ma ok winj wach, nyaka chil kawuono.”
9 And David says, "Let their very food become a snare and a trap to them, a stumbling-block and a retribution.
Daudi bende wacho ni: “Mad mesagi bednegi obadho gi otegu, kod kidi mar chwanyruok kendo gir chulo kuor ne gin.
10 Let darkness come over their eyes that they may be unable to see, and make Thou their backs continually to stoop."
Mad wengegi dinre mondo kik ginen, kendo oguchgi odolre nyaka chiengʼ.”
11 I ask, however, "Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?" No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;
Apenjo kendo ni: Dibed ni negipodho ma ok nyal resgi koso? Ok kamano ngangʼ! To nikech ketho mag-gi, warruok koro osebiro ne joma ok jo-Yahudi mondo omi Israel obed gi nyiego.
12 and if their lapse is the enriching of the world, and their overthrow the enriching of the Gentiles, will not still greater good follow their restoration?
To ka kethogi kelo mwandu ni piny kamano kendo ka rem margi kelo mwandu ne joma ok jo-Yahudi, to mano kaka warruok margi nobed mwandu maduongʼ moloyo manade?
13 But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,
To koro awuoyo kodu un joma ok jo-Yahudi. Kaka an Jaote ne joma ok jo-Yahudi, amiyo tichna duongʼ,
14 trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.
ka an gi geno ni anyalo miyo ogandana awuon nyiego maki mi awar moko kuomgi.
15 For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?
Nimar ka dagi mane Nyasaye odagi gigo ema omiyo koro osiep obetie kind Nyasaye gi piny duto, donge rwakgi to nokel mana chier aa kuom joma otho?
16 Now if the firstfruits of the dough are holy, so also is the whole mass; and if the root of a tree is holy, so also are the branches.
Ka bath mogo modwal ochiw kaka olemo mokwongo ler, to mano nyiso ni mogo modwal duto ler; kendo ka tiend yath ler, to bede yath bende ler.
17 And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,
To ka bede yath moko nolwer oko, mondo un, ma un kaka yadh bungu, ochomu kargi, eka omi un bende ucham mwandu kaachiel kodgi koa e tiend yadh Zeituni maduongʼ,
18 beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.
to kik usungru ne bede yath mamoko. To kapo ni utimo kamano, to paraneuru wachni: Ok un ema utingʼo tiend yath, to tiend yath ema otingʼou.
19 "Branches have been lopped off," you will say, "for the sake of my being grafted in."
Inyalo wacho niya, “To donge notongʼ bede yath moko oko mondo ochoma kargi?”
20 This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.
Mano en adier. To ngʼeni notongʼ-gi oko nikech ne gidagi yie, to un to udongʼ ka uchungʼ nikech yie. Omiyo weuru pakoru, to ubed moluor.
21 Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather--for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.
Nimar ka Nyasaye ne ok okecho bede madier, to kata un bende ok obi weyou.
22 Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.
Kuom mano, neye ngʼwono kod gero mar Nyasaye: oger gi joma ne opodho, to onyiso ngʼwonone ne un, to mana ka usiko e ngʼwonone; nono to un bende ibiro ngʼadou oko.
23 Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them in again;
To gin bende, ka ok gisiko e tamruok yie, to ibiro chomogi kendo, nimar Nyasaye nigi teko mar chomogi kendo.
24 and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?
To bende kata kane ongʼadu kuom yiend Zeituni moti e bungu, ochomu e kor yadh Zeituni mopidhi, ma en gima ok timre pile e yo mayot to donge en gima yot moloyo mondo gin bede yath hie odog ochomgi e kor yadh Zeituni ma margi giwegi.
25 For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves--the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;
Owetena ok adwar ni ubed ka ukia tiend wach mopondoni, adwaro ni uwinj tiend wach mopondoni mondo kik ukawru ni uriek moloyo kaka uchal: Jo-Israel moko konchiel osemi chunygi odoko matek nyaka chop kar kwan mowinjore mar joma ok jo-Yahudi odonji.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. As is declared in Scripture, "From Mount Zion a Deliverer will come: He will remove all ungodliness from Jacob;
Kamano Israel duto ibiro war, mana kaka ondiki niya, “Jawar nobi koa Sayun; enoriemb richo oa kuom Jakobo.
27 and this shall be My Covenant with them; when I have taken away their sins."
Kendo ma e singruokna kodgi, ka anagol richogi.”
28 In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.
Kaluwore gi weche mag Injili, to gin wasik Nyasaye, nikech un, to kaluwore gi yiero, to ohergi nikech kweregi
29 For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;
nimar mich Nyasaye kod luongne ok lokre.
30 but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,
Mana kaka un ma kinde moko ne ok uluoro Nyasaye, to koro osekechu nikech tamruok yie margi,
31 so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.
e kaka gin bende sani gingʼanyo, mondo kuom kech mosekechugo, gin bende koro okechgi.
32 For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
Nimar Nyasaye osemiyo ji duto obedo joma otamore winje mondo okech ji duto. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!
Yaye mano kaka mwandu kendo rieko gi ngʼeyo mar Nyasaye tut miwuoro! Mano kaka buchene oyombo parowa, kendo yorene fwenyo tek!
34 "Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"
“En ngʼa mosengʼeyo pach Jehova Nyasaye? Kata en ngʼa mosebedone jangʼad rieko?”
35 "Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"
En ngʼa mosemiyo Nyasaye gimoro ma dobandh Nyasaye mondo ochule?
