Roomaa 11
1 Anis, “Egaa Waaqni saba isaa ni gatee ree?” jedhee nan gaafadha. Kun gonkumaa akkas miti! Ani iyyuu Israaʼelicha, sanyii Abrahaam keessaa gosa Beniyaam.
I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Waaqni saba isaa warra duraan dursee beeke sana hin ganne; isin waaʼee Eeliyaas, inni akkamitti Waaqa duratti akka Israaʼelin himate Katabbiin Qulqulluun maal akka jedhu hin beektanii? Innis akkana jedha:
God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 “Yaa Gooftaa isaan raajota kee ajjeesaniiru; iddoo aarsaa keetii illee diiganiiru; anuma qofatu hafe; anas ajjeesuu barbaadu.”
"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
4 Garuu deebiin Waaqni isaaf kenne maal ture? “Ani ofii kootiif namoota Baʼaaliif hin jilbeenfatin 7,000 hambifadheera.”
But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
5 Akkasuma yeroo ammaas hambaawwan ayyaanaan filataman jiru.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 Erga ayyaanaan taʼe immoo siʼachi hojiin miti; utuu hojiin taʼee immoo ayyaanni silaa ayyaana hin taʼu ture.
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
7 Egaa maali ree? Israaʼel waan jabeessee barbaade sana hin arganne; warri filataman garuu argataniiru. Warri kaan immoo mataa jabaatan.
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 Kunis isa, “Waaqni hamma guyyaa harʼaatti, akka iji isaanii hin argineef, akka gurri isaaniis hin dhageenyeef, hafuura nama dawweessu isaaniif kenne” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
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.
9 Daawitis akkana jedha; “Maaddiin isaanii iddaa fi kiyyoo, gufuu nama gufachiisuu fi adaba isaanitti haa taʼu.
David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 Akka arguu hin dandeenyeef iji isaanii haa haguuggamu; dugdi isaaniis bara baraan haa goophatu.”
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
11 Anis deebisee, “Isaan hamma kufanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyetti gufatanii?” jedheen gaafadha. Kun gonkumaa akkas miti! Garuu akka sabni Israaʼel hinaafuuf sababii balleessaa isaaniitiif fayyinni Namoota Ormaatiif dhufe.
I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Yoos erga balleessaan isaanii addunyaaf badhaadhummaa fidee, kufaatiin isaaniis erga Namoota Ormaatiif badhaadhummaa fidee, guutummaan isaanii immoo hammam caalaa badhaadhummaa haa fiduu ree?
Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
13 Yaa Namoota Ormaa, ani isinittin dubbadha. Ani waanan ergamaa Namoota Ormaa taʼeef, tajaajila koo nan kabaja.
For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
14 Kanaanis ani tarii saba koo hinaaffaaf kakaasee isaan keessaa tokko tokko fayyisuu abdadhee ti.
if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Erga gatamuun isaanii addunyaaf araara fidee, fudhatamuun isaanii immoo warra duʼan keessaa jireenyatti kaafamuu malee maal fida ree?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
16 Kutaan bukoo kan akka kennaa hangafaatti dhiʼeeffame tokko erga qulqulluu taʼee, bukoon guutuun qulqulluu dha; hiddi erga qulqulluu taʼee, dameewwan isaas akkasuma qulqulloota.
If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Dameewwan sana keessaa tokko tokko caccabsamnaan ati utuma lataa ejersa bosonaa taatee jirtuu iddoo dameewwan caccabaniitti fayyifamtee soora hidda ejersaa irraa argamu kan qooddattu taanaan,
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 rich root of the olive tree;
18 dameewwan sanatti hin koorin. Yoo of jajje garuu hidda sanatu si baata malee akka ati hidda sana hin baanne hubadhu.
do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 Atis, “Akka ani itti fayyifamuuf dameewwan sun caccabsaman” ni jetta.
You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
20 Kun dhuguma. Isaan waan amantii hin qabneef caccabsaman; ati garuu amantiidhaan dhaabatteerta. Kanaafuu sodaadhu malee of hin tuulin.
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
21 Waaqni yoo dameewwan uumamaatiif hin hilin siifis hin hiluutii.
for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 Egaa arjummaa fi gara jabina Waaqaa hubadhu: gara jabinni isaa warra kufan irratti; arjummaan isaa garuu hamma ati arjummaa isaa keessa jiraattutti siif; yoo kanaa achii atis ni kutamta.
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.
23 Isaanis yoo amantii dhabuutti fufuu baatan itti fayyifamu; Waaqni deebisee itti isaan fayyisuu ni dandaʼaatii.
They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Ati muka uumamaan ejersa bosonaa taʼe irraa muramtee karaa seera uumamaatiin ala taʼeen muka ejersaa kan dhaabame irratti erga fayyifamtee, dameewwan uumamaa kunneen hammam caalaa muka ejersa isaanii irratti deebifamanii hin fayyifaman ree!
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?
25 Yaa obboloota, ani akka isin ogeeyyii of seetanii icciitii kana wallaaltan hin barbaadu; hamma lakkoobsi Namoota Ormaa guutuun seenutti Israaʼel gariin mata jabinaan jiraachaa turan.
For I do not 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 non-Jews has come in,
26 Kanaafuu Israaʼel hundi ni fayyu; akkana jedhamee barreeffameeraatii: “Inni furu Xiyoonii ni dhufa; Yaaqoob irraas Waaqa malee jiraachuu ni balleessa.
and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 Yommuu ani cubbuu isaanii isaan irraa fuudhutti, kakuun koo kan ani isaan wajjin qabu kana.”
This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
28 Akka wangeelaatti isiniif jecha isaan diinota; akka filannootti garuu abbootiif jecha isaan jaallatamoo dha;
Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
29 kennaan Waaqaatii fi waamichi isaa gaabbii hin qabuutii.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Akkuma isin kanaan dura Waaqaaf ajajamuu diddanii amma garuu ajajamuu diduu isaaniitiin araara argattan sana
For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 isaanis akkasuma araara Waaqaa kan isin argattaniin akka araara argataniif amma ajajamuu didan.
even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
32 Waaqni hunduma isaaniitiif araara buusuuf jedhee namoota hunda ajajamuu diduu jala galche. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Badhaadhummaan ogummaatii fi beekumsa Waaqaa hammam gad fagaata! Murtiin isaa qoramee bira hin gaʼamu! Karaan isaas barbaadamee itti hin baʼamu!
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.
34 “Eenyutu yaada garaa Gooftaa beeke? Yookaan eenyutu gorsaa isaa ture?”
For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
35 “Yookaan akka Waaqni deebisee isaaf kennuuf jedhee, eenyutu takkumaa Waaqaaf waa kenne?”
"Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
