Romans 11
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant 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 didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with 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 your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek 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 how does God answer him? “I have reserved for 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 Even so too 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 by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
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 seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
tarhi kiṁ? isrāyelīyalokā yad amṛgayanta tanna prāpuḥ| kintvabhirucitalokāstat prāpustadanye sarvva andhībhūtāḥ|
8 According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
yathā likhitam āste, ghoranidrālutābhāvaṁ dṛṣṭihīne ca locane| karṇau śrutivihīnau ca pradadau tebhya īśvaraḥ||
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution 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. Always keep their backs bent.”
bhaviṣyanti tathāndhāste netraiḥ paśyanti no yathā| vepathuḥ kaṭideśasya teṣāṁ nityaṁ bhaviṣyati||
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
patanārthaṁ te skhalitavanta iti vācaṁ kimahaṁ vadāmi? tanna bhavatu kintu tān udyoginaḥ karttuṁ teṣāṁ patanād itaradeśīyalokaiḥ paritrāṇaṁ prāptaṁ|
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
teṣāṁ patanaṁ yadi jagato lokānāṁ lābhajanakam abhavat teṣāṁ hrāso'pi yadi bhinnadeśināṁ lābhajanako'bhavat tarhi teṣāṁ vṛddhiḥ kati lābhajanikā bhaviṣyati?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
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 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 reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
teṣāṁ nigraheṇa yadīśvareṇa saha jagato janānāṁ melanaṁ jātaṁ tarhi teṣām anugṛhītatvaṁ mṛtadehe yathā jīvanalābhastadvat kiṁ na bhaviṣyati?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
aparaṁ prathamajātaṁ phalaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi sarvvameva phalaṁ pavitraṁ bhaviṣyati; tathā mūlaṁ yadi pavitraṁ bhavati tarhi śākhā api tathaiva bhaviṣyanti|
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
kiyatīnāṁ śākhānāṁ chedane kṛte tvaṁ vanyajitavṛkṣasya śākhā bhūtvā yadi tacchākhānāṁ sthāne ropitā sati jitavṛkṣīyamūlasya rasaṁ bhuṁkṣe,
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
tarhi tāsāṁ bhinnaśākhānāṁ viruddhaṁ māṁ garvvīḥ; yadi garvvasi tarhi tvaṁ mūlaṁ yanna dhārayasi kintu mūlaṁ tvāṁ dhārayatīti saṁsmara|
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
aparañca yadi vadasi māṁ ropayituṁ tāḥ śākhā vibhannā abhavan;
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
bhadram, apratyayakāraṇāt te vibhinnā jātāstathā viśvāsakāraṇāt tvaṁ ropito jātastasmād ahaṅkāram akṛtvā sasādhvaso bhava|
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
yata īśvaro yadi svābhāvikīḥ śākhā na rakṣati tarhi sāvadhāno bhava cet tvāmapi na sthāpayati|
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will 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 They also, if they don’t 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 you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted 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 don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has 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 will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
paścāt te sarvve paritrāsyante; etādṛśaṁ likhitamapyāste, āgamiṣyati sīyonād eko yastrāṇadāyakaḥ| adharmmaṁ yākubo vaṁśāt sa tu dūrīkariṣyati|
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
tathā dūrīkariṣyāmi teṣāṁ pāpānyahaṁ yadā| tadā taireva sārddhaṁ me niyamo'yaṁ bhaviṣyati|
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
susaṁvādāt te yuṣmākaṁ vipakṣā abhavan kintvabhirucitatvāt te pitṛlokānāṁ kṛte priyapātrāṇi bhavanti|
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
yata īśvarasya dānād āhvānāñca paścāttāpo na bhavati|
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
ataeva pūrvvam īśvare'viśvāsinaḥ santo'pi yūyaṁ yadvat samprati teṣām aviśvāsakāraṇād īśvarasya kṛpāpātrāṇi jātāstadvad
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
idānīṁ te'viśvāsinaḥ santi kintu yuṣmābhi rlabdhakṛpākāraṇāt tairapi kṛpā lapsyate|
īśvaraḥ sarvvān prati kṛpāṁ prakāśayituṁ sarvvān aviśvāsitvena gaṇayati| (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
aho īśvarasya jñānabuddhirūpayo rdhanayoḥ kīdṛk prācuryyaṁ| tasya rājaśāsanasya tattvaṁ kīdṛg aprāpyaṁ| tasya mārgāśca kīdṛg anupalakṣyāḥ|
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
parameśvarasya saṅkalpaṁ ko jñātavān? tasya mantrī vā ko'bhavat?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
ko vā tasyopakārī bhṛtvā tatkṛte tena pratyupakarttavyaḥ?
