1 Kérdem tehát: Elvetette Isten az ő népét? Semmiképpen! Hiszen én is izraelita vagyok, Ábrahám utódai közül és Benjámin törzséből való.
Because of that, [if anyone should ask], “Has God rejected his people [the Jews?” I would declare that] he certainly has not [rejected all of us! You can realize that by remembering that] I also belong to the [people of] Israel. I am a descendant of Abraham, and I belong to the tribe of Benjamin, [but God has not rejected me]!
2 Nem vetette el Isten az ő népét, amelyet kiválasztott. Vagy nem tudjátok, mit mond az Írás Illésről, amikor vádat emel Istennél Izrael ellen:
No, God has not rejected his people, whom he chose long ago [to be people whom he would bless in a special way]. Remember [RHQ] what is written [PRS] in the Scriptures about Elijah when he [mistakenly] complained to God about [the people of] Israel, saying,
3 „Uram a te prófétáidat megölték, és a te oltáraidat lerombolták, és csak én maradtam egyedül, és nekem is életemre törnek.“
“Lord, they have killed [the rest of] your [(sg)] prophets, they have destroyed your altars. I am the only one [who believes in you] who remains [alive], and now they are trying to kill me!”
4 De mit mond neki az isteni felelet? „Meghagytam magamnak hétezer embert, akik nem hajtottak térdet a Baálnak.“
God answered him like this: “[You(sg) are not the only one who believes in me]! I have protected for myself [not just you, but] 7,000 [other] men who have not worshipped [the false god] Baal. (Remember that!/Do you not remember that?) [RHQ]”
5 Így tehát most is van maradék a kegyelemből való kiválasztás szerint.
So, similarly, there is also at this time a small group [of us Jews] who have become [believers. God] has chosen us [to become believers] (OR, [his people]) only because he acts kindly toward us, in ways that we do not deserve.
6 Ha pedig kegyelemből, akkor nem cselekedetekből. Különben a kegyelem nem volna kegyelem. Ha pedig cselekedetekből, akkor nem kegyelemből. Különben a cselekedet nem volna cselekedet.
Since it is because he acts kindly [toward those whom he chooses, it is] not because they have done good things [that he has chosen them]. If [God chose people because they did good deeds], then it would not be because he was acting toward them in a way that they did not deserve.
7 Mi tehát a helyzet? Amire Izrael törekedett, azt nem nyerte el. A választottak ellenben elnyerték, a többiek pedig megkeményíttettek.
[Since God chose only some people of Israel], [this is what I conclude: [RHQ] Most of the people of] Israel did not find [the way for him to erase the record of their sins], even though some of them were earnestly looking for it. The [people of Israel whom God had] chosen found it, but the rest [of them] were {[God]} made spiritually insensitive/unresponsive.
8 Amint meg van írva: „Isten a kábultság lelkét adta nekik: szemeket, hogy ne lássanak, füleket, hogy ne halljanak, mind e mai napig.“
[Our] fellow Jews are just like the [ones] about whom Isaiah wrote, God (caused their senses to be dull/made them unable to think clearly). Up to this very day, [they have] eyes but they cannot see [spiritually] [MET]. [They have] ears, but they cannot understand [spiritually] what they hear.
9 Dávid is ezt mondja: „Legyen az ő asztaluk számukra csapdává, hálóvá, megbotlássá és megtorlássá.
And [they remind me of what King] David said, [when he asked God to cause his enemies’ senses to be dull] [MET], [Make them stupid] [MTY], [like animals that are] caught in snares! May they [feel secure because of the things that they enjoy but which will catch them like a] trap [DOU, MET], with the result that you will destroy them.
10 Sötétüljön el szemük, hogy ne lássanak, és hátukat mindenkorra görbítsd meg.“
May their ability to perceive [danger] be dulled {Dull their ability to perceive [spiritually]} [MET], with the result that they will not [become alarmed] [MET] [when there is danger]. May you cause them to carry heavy loads on their backs continually [as slaves do] [MTY].
11 Kérdem tehát: Azért botlottak meg, hogy elessenek? Semmiképpen! Hanem az ő elesésük miatt lett a pogányoké az üdvösség, hogy féltékennyé tegye Izraelt.
[Perhaps someone will ask], “[When the Jews] sinned [by not believing in Christ, did] it result in their separating themselves from God [permanently?]” Then I [would reply], [No], they have certainly not [separated themselves from God permanently]! What is happening is that because they sinned, [God] is saving non-Jews in order to cause [the Jews] to envy [the way he blesses non-Jews and so ask Christ to save them].
12 Ha pedig elesésük a világ gazdagsága lett, és az ő vereségük a pogányok gazdagsága, mennyivel inkább az lesz, ha teljes számban megtérnek.
[When the Jews] sinned (OR, rejected Christ), [the result was that God] abundantly [blessed other people in] [MTY] the world by [offering them the opportunity to believe]. And [when the Jews] failed [spiritually, the result was that God] abundantly [blessed] the non-Jews. Since that is true, think how wonderful it will be when the complete number [of the Jews whom God has chosen will believe in Christ] [RHQ]!
13 Mert nektek mondom, pogányoknak: mivel én a pogányoknak apostola vagyok, szolgálatomat azzal dicsőítem,
Now it is to you non-Jews that I am saying [what follows]. I am the one who is the apostle to non-Jews, and I highly esteem this work [that God appointed] me to do.
14 ha féltékennyé teszem az én atyámfiait, és így megtarthatnék közülük némelyeket.
But I also hope that [by my labors] I will make my fellow Jews (jealous/want what you non-Jews have), [with the result that] some of them will [believe and] be saved.
15 Mert ha az ő elvettetésük a világ békességét szolgálta, mi mást jelenthetne befogadásuk, ha nem életet a halálból?
[God] has rejected [most of my fellow Jews because they refused to believe, with the result that] he reconciled [many other people in] the world [MTY] [to himself]. But he will accept [my fellow Jews again when they trust in Christ]! And (this is what the result will be./do you know what the result will be?) [RHQ] It will be [as though God is making them] alive again after they have been dead!
16 Ha pedig a tészta zsengéje szent, akkor a kenyér is az, és ha a gyökér szent, akkor az ágak is azok.
[Just like] the whole lump [of dough] will belong to God if [people offer] to God [MET] the [bread baked from] the first part [of it] [MET], [so the Jews will belong to God because their ancestors belonged to God]. And just like the branches [of a tree] will be good if the roots are good [MET], [so the descendants of our great Jewish ancestors who belonged to God will also some day belong to God].
17 Ha pedig egyes ágak kitörettek, te pedig vadolajfa létedre beoltattál azok közé, és részese lettél az olajfa gyökerének és nedvének,
[God has rejected] many of [the Jews] [MET], [like] branches [of a tree] are broken off {[like people] break off [dead] branches [of a tree]}. And each of you [non-Jews whom God has accepted is like] [MET] [a branch of] a wild/uncultivated olive tree [that] was {[that someone]} grafted among the branches (OR, onto one of the branches) [that were left on a cultivated olive tree]. [God has caused] you [to benefit from how he blessed our(exc) first Jewish ancestors, as branches] benefit from the nutritious sap from the roots of a [cultivated] olive tree [MET].
18 ne kevélykedj az ágakkal szemben. Ha pedig kevélykedsz, tudd meg: nem te hordozod a gyökeret, hanem a gyökér téged.
However, you [non-Jews] must not despise [the Jews whom God rejected] [MET], [who are like] the branches that [were broken off from the tree] If any of you [wants to] boast [about having received blessings from God], [remember this: Branches] do not nourish the roots. Instead the roots nourish [the branches] [MET]. [Similarly, you are blessed by God because of what] you [have received from the Jews! It is not what the Jews have received from] you [that blesses them] [MET]!
19 Azt mondod erre: Azért törettek ki az ágak, hogy én oltattassam be.
If one of you then says, “[God rejected the Jews] [MET] [like] branches [MET] that are broken {that people broke} off [a tree and rejected], in order that [he might accept us non-Jews, as] branches [MET] of a tree are grafted in {[as people] graft in branches of a tree},”
20 Úgy van: hitetlenségük miatt törettek ki, te pedig hit által állsz. Fel ne fuvalkodjál, hanem félj.
[I would reply that] this is true. However, it is because the Jews did not believe [in Christ] that they were rejected [MET] {that [God] rejected [MET] them}. As for you, it is [only] because you believe [in Christ] that [God has accepted] you! [So] do not [any of you] become proud, but instead beware [of what could happen to you]
21 Mert ha Isten a természetes ágaknak nem kedvezett, majd neked sem fog kedvezni.
Since God did not spare [the unbelieving Jews] [MET] [who were like a tree’s] natural branches, he will not spare any of you [if you do] not [keep trusting in him]!
22 Lásd meg tehát Isten jóságát és keménységét: keménységét azok iránt, akik elestek, irántad pedig jóságát, ha ugyan megmaradsz jóságában, mert különben te is kivágatol.
Note then, that God acts kindly, but he also acts severely. He has acted severely toward [the Jews] who have stopped trusting in him. On the other hand, he acts kindly toward each of you [non-Jews only] if you continue [to appreciate his acting] kindly [toward you]. However, you will be rejected {[he] will reject you} if you do not [keep trusting in him].
23 Viszont azok, ha nem maradnak meg hitetlenségükben, beoltatnak, mert Isten ismét beolthatja őket.
And if the Jews believe [in Christ] [LIT], God also will [reunite them to himself as] branches are grafted {[as people] graft branches} into [a tree again], because God is able to do that.
24 Mert ha te a természetes vadolajfából kivágattál, és a természet rendje ellenére beoltattál a szelíd olajfába, mennyivel inkább beoltatnak azok saját olajfájukba!
Each of you [non-Jews who were previously separated from God has benefited from the ways in which God blessed the Jews] [MET]. [That is like taking branches] that have been cut {that someone has cut} from a wild olive tree that just grew [without being planted] {[someone planting it]} and, contrary to what people usually do, grafting them into a cultivated olive tree. So God will much more readily [receive back the Jews because they belonged to him before] [MET]! [That will be like] the original branches [that had been cut off] being grafted {like grafting the original branches [that someone cut off], } back into the olive tree to which they [originally belonged]!
25 Nem akarom, hogy ne tudjátok, atyámfiai, azt a titkot, – bölcsnek tartva magatokat –, hogy a megkeményedés Izraelre nézve csak rész szerint való, amíg a pogányok teljes számban be nem jutnak,
My [non-Jewish] fellow believers, I certainly want you to understand [LIT] this truth that God has now revealed [about my fellow Jews who are refusing to believe]. You should not proudly think [that] God [now favors you] more [than the Jews] (OR, [that you understand God’s further plans for the Jews]). Many [people of] Israel will continue to be stubborn until all the non-Jews [whom God has chosen have believed in Jesus].
26 és így üdvözülni fog az egész Izrael, ahogy meg van írva: „Eljön Sionból a Szabadító, és eltörli Jákób gonoszságát,
And then all [HYP] [the people of] Israel will be saved {[God] will save all [HYP] [the people of] Israel}. Then these words that are written {that [a prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures will] ([become true/be fulfilled]): The one who sets [his people] free will originate from [the place where] God dwells (OR, from the Jews) [MTY]. Then he will remove the guilt of the Israelite people (OR, descendants of Jacob) [MTY].
27 és én ezt a szövetségemet adom nekik, amikor eltörlöm bűneiket.“
And [as God says], The contract that I will make with them is that I will forgive their sins.
28 Az evangéliumra nézve ugyan ellenségek – tiértetek, de a kiválasztásra nézve szeretettek az ősatyákért.
With regard to [the Jews rejecting] the good message [about Christ, God treats] them as enemies, which has benefited you [non-Jews]. But in regard to [their being the people whom God] chose, [God still] loves them because of [what he promised] their ancestors.
29 Mert visszavonhatatlanok Isten ajándékai és az ő elhívása.
[He still loves them], because he never changed his mind about the privileges/blessings he [gave to them] and about his choosing [them to be his people].
30 Mert ahogyan ti egykor nem engedelmeskedtetek Istennek, most pedig irgalmasságot nyertetek az ő engedetlenségük révén,
You [non-Jews] once disobeyed God, but now he has acted mercifully towards you because the [Jews] disobeyed him.
31 úgy ők is most engedetlenek, hogy a nektek jutott irgalom révén ők is irgalmasságot nyerjenek.
Now the Jews have disobeyed God. The result is that by the very same way in which he acted mercifully towards you, he will act mercifully towards them [again].
32 Mert Isten mindenkit engedetlenségbe zárt, hogy mindenkin megkönyörüljön. (eleēsē g1653)
God has declared and proved that all people, [both Jews and non-Jews] [MET], disobey ([him/his laws]). He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Ó, Isten gazdagságának, bölcsességének és tudásának mélysége! Milyen kikutathatatlanok az ő ítéletei és kinyomozhatatlanok az ő útjai!
[I marvel how] vast and great are the wise things that God [has done] and what he has [always] known [DOU]! We are completely unable to understand the things that he has decided and the ways [in which he acts toward us] [DOU]!
34 Ugyan „ki ismerte meg az Úr gondolatait? Vagy ki volt neki tanácsadója?
[I remember the Scriptures that say], (No one has known what the Lord thinks./Who has known what the Lord thinks?) [RHQ] (Absolutely no one has given him advice [about what he should do!]/Who has advised him [about what he should do]?) [RHQ]
35 Vagy ki adott előbb neki, hogy vissza kellene fizetnie?“
And, (No one has given anything to God that [he did not previously receive from God!]/Has anyone given anything to God that [he did not previously receive from God]?) [RHQ] So God (is not obligated to/does not have to) pay back anything to anyone!
36 Mert tőle, általa és érte van minden. Övé a dicsőség mindörökké. Ámen. (aiōn g165)
God [is the one who created] all things. He is also the one who [sustains all things]. The reason that he created them was that [everything he created might praise] him. May [all people] honor him forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
