Rome 11
1 Na nga siyuk: Ya God El sisla mwet lal sifacna? Mo, tia ku in ouingan! Nga sifacna nga sie mwet Israel, sie mwet in fwilin tulik natul Abraham, ac sie sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin.
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God El tiana sisla mwet lal, su El nuna sulela ke mutawauk ah me. Kowos etu kas in Ma Simusla ma fahk ke Elijah el kwafe sin God lain mwet Israel.
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 El fahk, “Leum, elos onela mwet palu lom nukewa ac kunausla loang lom; nga mukena pa lula sin mwet palu uh, ac elos suk pac in uniyuwi.”
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 Na mea top lun God nu sel? God El fahk, “Nga filiya nu sik sifacna mwet itkosr tausin su tia alu nu sin Baal, sie god sutuu.”
But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
5 Nuna lumah sacna nwe inge: oasr pisa na pu se lula selos su God El sulela ke sripen lungkulang lal.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 Sulela lal uh ma na ke kulang lal, ac tia ke ma elos orala. Tuh sulela lun God fin ma ke sripen ma mwet uh oru, na wangin kalmen kulang lal.
And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 Na mea? Mwet Israel tia konauk ma elos suk. A mwet na pu selos su God El sulela pa konauk; mwet saya ah tia lungse lohng pang lun God.
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk, “God El oru elos in folosuwosla — elos nikanulosla ac wangin ma elos pula; nwe misenge elos tia ku in liye ku lohng.”
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) to this day.
9 Ac David el fahk, “Finsrak in sruoh elos, ku srifusryuki elos ke kufwa lalos; Finsrak elos in ikori; lela elos in akkeokyeyuk!
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:
10 Lela mutalos in lohsrla tuh elos in koflana liye, Ac fintokolos in foingyak pacl nukewa.”
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
11 Na nga siyuk: Ke mwet Jew elos tukulkul, ya elos ikori ac koflana sifil tuyak? Mo! Ke sripen elos oru ma koluk, pwanang molela tuku nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew, tuh in oru mwet Jew in sok selos.
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Ma koluk lun mwet Jew uh pwanang insewowo lulap nu sin faclu, ac sukasrup in ngun lalos use insewowo lulap nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew. Na ac lupa kac insewowo ac fah tuku ke pacl se mwet Jew nukewa weang!
Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
13 Inge nga kaskas nu suwos, mwet sayen mwet Jew: Ke lusen pacl nga sie mwet sap nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew, nga kulo nu sin God ke orekma se inge su El kuneyuwi nu kac.
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
14 Sahp nga ac ku in oru mwet srahk sifacna in sok, na ke sripuk God El ac molelosla.
If by any means I may incite to emulation [them who are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Tuh ke pacl God El ngetla liki mwet Jew, mutanfahl saya uh elos iweyukla nu sin God. Na ac fuka, ke pacl se mwet Jew elos ac sifil folokinyukme uh? Ac fah oana sie mwet misa su sifil moulyak!
For if the rejection of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
16 Ipin bread se oemeet uh fin itukyang nu sin God, na lof nufon soko ac ma pac lal; ac okan sak soko fin itukyang nu sin God, lesak kac uh ac ma pac lal.
For if the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [is] holy, so [are] the branches.
17 Kipatla kutu lesak ke soko sak olive, na lesak se ke sak olive wet soko kupasryang in aolla. Kowos oana lesak ke sak olive wet uh; ac inge kowos ipeis ke moul lun sak olive sacnsan soko ah.
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, art ingrafted among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
18 Ke ma inge, kowos tia enenu in kwase mwet su oana lesak uh kipatla. Efu ku kowos in konkin, ke lesak se na pa kowos. Kowos tia akkeye oka uh, a oka uh akkeye kowos.
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Na sahp sie suwos ac fahk, “Aok, lesak uh kipatla in sakunla acn sik.”
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.
20 Pwaye. Lesak uh kipatla ke sripen elos tiana lulalfongi, ac kowos kupasryang ke sripen kowos lulalfongi. Tusruktu nik kowos fulatak insiowos kac; a kowos in sensen.
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
21 God El fin tia molela mwet Jew, su oana lesak na pwaye ke sak soko ah; ya kowos nunku mu El ac molikowosla?
For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
22 Inge kut ku in liye luman kulang ac luman upa lun God. El upa nu selos su oru ma koluk, tusruktu El kulang nu suwos — kowos fin mutana ye kulang lal. A kowos fin tia, kowos ac fah kipatla pac.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 Ac mwet Jew fin sisla selulalfongi lalos, elos ac fah folokinyukyang nu yen elos muta we meet; mweyen God El ku in oru ouinge.
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.
24 Kowos mwet sayen mwet Jew, kowos oana luman sie lesak ke sak olive wet ma kipatla, na itukyang kowos nu ke soko sak olive sacnsan. Mwet Jew uh elos oana sak sacnsan soko ah, na kalem lah ac arulana fisrasr God Elan kapsreni lesak kipatla inge nu ke sropo lalos sifacna.
For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive-tree?
25 Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, oasr sie ma pwaye su tia eteyuk kac meet, ac inge nga lungse kowos in etu kac, tuh ac fah karingin kowos liki nunak in nunku mu kowos lalmwetmet. Ma se inge pa: inse upa lun kutu sin mwet Israel ac tia ma nwe tok, a ac fah oanna nwe ke pacl se mwet sayen mwet Jew nukewa tuku nu yurin God, fal nu ke pisa se El nuna pakiya.
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.
26 Na pa inge luman inkanek in molela nu sin mwet Israel nukewa. Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Mwet Lango ac fah tuku Zion me Ac eela ma koluk nukewa liki fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 Nga fah oru wuleang ku se inge yorolos Ke pacl se nga eisla ma koluk lalos.”
For this [is] my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 Ke sripen mwet Jew elos pilesru Pweng Wo, elos mwet lokoalok lun God, ac ma inge tuh wo nu suwos, mwet sayen mwet Jew. Tusruktu ke sulela lun God, elos mwet kawuk lal ke sripen wuleang lal yurin papa matu tumalos.
As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, [they are] beloved for the father's sakes.
29 Tuh God El tia ekulla nunak lal kaclos su El sulela ac su El akinsewowoye.
For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
30 Ac funu kowos, mwet sayen mwet Jew; kowos tuh seakos God in pacl meet ah, a inge kowos eis pakoten sin God ke sripen seakos lun mwet Jew.
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;
31 In ouiya sacna, ke sripen pakoten ma kowos eis, mwet Jew elos seakos God inge, in pwanang elos in mau eis pakoten lun God.
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 Tuh God El oru mwet nukewa in mwet kapir ke sripen seakosten lalos, tuh El fah ku in fahkak pakoten nu selos nukewa. (eleēsē g1653)
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Fuka lupan kasrpen lungkulang lun God! Fuka loaliyen lalmwetmet ac etauk lal! Su ku in aketeya oakwuk lal? Su ku in kalem ke inkanek lal?
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Su etu nunak lun Leum God? Su ku in sang kas in kasru nu sel?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?
35 Su na sang kutena ma nu sin God Tuh Elan sifil akfalye?”
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
