Men Rom 11
1 ARI, iet me i men inda: Kot kalikalar sapwilim a kan? O so! Pwe ngai pil kisan men Israel, o kadaudok en Apraam, o kainok en Peniamin.
But I say: Hath God cast off his people? Far be it. For I also am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Kot sota kalikalar sapwilim a kan, me a kotin piladar mas o. De komail sota asa, da me kisin likau masanier duen Elias ni a kadipa men Israel mon Kot masani:
God hath not cast off those his people whom he before knew. Do ye not know, what, in the scripture of God, he said to Elijah? When he had complained to God against Israel, and said:
3 Maing, irail kamelar sapwilim ar saukop akan, o karongk pasang sapwilim ar pei saraui kan, a ngai ta me lua, a irail pil rapakin ia, pwen kame ia la.
My Lord, they have slain thy prophets, and have thrown down thy altars; and I am left alone; and they seek my life.
4 A da me Kot kotin sapengki i? Ngai me kanikidi ong ia ol isikid me so kelepuki ong Paal.
And it was said to him, by revelation: Behold, I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed their knees, and have not worshipped Baal.
5 Nan iduen ansau wet: Luan me piladar akan mia pweki mak en Kot.
So also at the present time, a remnant is preserved, by the election of grace.
6 A ma pweki mak, nan kaidin pweki wiawia kan; pwe ma iduen, mak solar pan mak.
But if by grace, it is not by works: otherwise, grace is not grace. And if by works, it is not by grace: Otherwise, work is not work.
7 Ari, iaduen mepukat? Me men Israel raparapaki, re sota diaradar, a me piladar akan diaradar, a me tei kan kapitakailar.
What then? Israel did not obtain that which it sought: but the election obtained it; and the rest of them were blinded in their heart,
8 Duen a intingidier: Kot kotiki ong irail ngen en men mair, o por en mas akan, pwe ren der kilang wasa, o salong akan, pwe ren der rong wasa lao lel ran wet.
- (as it is written: God gave them a stupid spirit, and eyes to see not, and ears to hear not, ) unto this very day.
9 O Dawid masani: Arail tepel en wiala insar parail, o litip arail, o kapup parail, o karia parail.
And again, David said: Let their table become a snare before them; and let their recompense be a stumbling block.
10 Mas arail en rotorotala, pwe ren der kilang wasa, o irail en kakos pena kokolata.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and let their back, at all times, be bowed down.
11 Ari, iet me i men inda: Irail dipikelekel pwen pupedi? O so! A pweki arail pupedi, en id kamaurela men liki kan, pwen kapopot kin irail do.
But I say: Have they so stumbled as to fall entirely? Far be it. Rather, by their stumbling, life hath come to the Gentiles, for awakening their jealousy.
12 Ari, ma arail pupedi id pai ong sappa, a arail momalar id pai ong men liki kan, ia wan pai, ma irail karos pan sapaledo!
And if their stumbling was riches to the world, and their condemnation riches to the Gentiles; how much more their completeness?
13 Pwe men liki komail, me i men padaki ong, pwe ngai wanporon en men liki kan, i men kaindinda ai dodok.
But it is to you Gentiles, I am speaking: as I am a legate to the Gentiles, I honor my ministry;
14 Pwe ma i kak ong, i pan kainong irail, me kit eu ni pali uduk pwe akai re’rail en dorela.
if, perhaps, I may provoke emulation in the children of my flesh, and may vivify some of them.
15 Pwe ma arail kalikilar id kalamalam maula sappa, arail kasapaledo so pan kamaurela sang ren me melar akan?
For if the rejection of them, was a reconciliation of the world; what will their conversion be, but life from the dead?
16 A ma kalap me saraui, plaua amas pil pan saraui; o ma kalaua me saraui, ra kan pil pan dueta;
For, if the first-fruits are holy, then the mass is also: and if the root is holy, then also the branches.
17 A ma ra kai tapengok sang, a koe ni om wos mal id peus iong, ap iang nim pil en tuka o iang maurki kalaua,
And if some of the branches were plucked off; and thou, an olive from the desert, wast in-grafted in their place, and hast become a participator of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
18 Koe ap der suaiki ong ra kan! A ma koe suaiki ong irail, kaidin koe me kin wa kalaua, a kalaua kin wa uk.
do not glory over the branches. For if thou gloriest, thou sustainest not the root, but the root sustaineth thee.
19 Koe ap pan indada: Ra kan tapengok wei sang, pwe i en id peus ong.
And shouldst thou say, The branches were plucked off, that I might be grafted into their place.
20 Me pung; soposon, me re tapengok kilar, a poson, me koe maur kila, koe der aklapalap a masak!
Very true. They were plucked off, because they believed not; and thou standest by faith. Be not exalted in thy mind, but fear.
21 Pwe ma Kot kotin muei sang udan ra kan, kalaka, pwe ele a pil pan muei sang uk!
For if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.
22 Ari, kilang kalangan o ongiong en Kot; ongiong ong irail, me salongalar, a kalangan ong uk, ma koe pan dadaurata a kalangan, a ma so, koe pil pan tapengok sang.
Behold now the benignity and the severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but on thee, benignity, if thou continuest in that benignity; and if not, thou also wilt be plucked off.
23 A pil irail, ma irail sota pan mimieta ni arail soposon, re ap pan peus sapal, pwe Kot kotin kak ong kapure irail do.
And they, if they do not continue in their destitution of faith, even they will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Pwe ma koe lepuk sang ni tuka olip mal, ap peus sapal ong tuka olip mau, a iaduen udan ra mau kan, re sota pan kak pur ong udan ar tuka?
For if thou wast plucked from the wild olive-tree, which was natural to thee, and wast grafted, contrary to thy nature, into a good olive-tree; how much more may they be grafted into their natural olive-tree?
25 Ri ai kan, i men, komail en lelapok ki kaponepon wet, pwe komail de aklolekong, duen apali en Israel me kapitakailar, lao lel ansaun irail me pilipildar ren men liki kan pwarador.
And that ye, my brethren, may not be wise in your own apprehension, I wish you to know this mystery, that blindness of heart hath in some measure befallen Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall come in:
26 Men Israel karos ap pan maureda, duen a intingidier: Amen pan kotido sang Sion, me pan kawela karos me doo sang Kot akan ren Iakop.
and then, will all Israel live. As it is written: A deliverer will come from Zion, and will turn away iniquity from Jacob.
27 Pwe iet ai inau ong irail, i lao lapwa sang irail dip arail akan.
And then will they have the covenant that proceedeth from me, when I shall have forgiven their sins.
28 Iran rongamau irail me imwintiti pweki komail, a iran lipilipil irail me kompokepa kan pweki sam akan.
Now, in the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but in the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
29 Pwe Kot sota kin kalukila a pai en mak akan de me a kotin piladar.
For God is not changeable in his free gift and in his calling.
30 O duen komail, me pil sota poson Kot mas o, a met komail aleer mak, pweki arail soposon.
For as ye too were formerly disobedient to God, and have now obtained mercy, because of their disobedience;
31 Iduen irail me sota poson mak, me komail diaradar, iei me re pil sota diaradar mak en Kot.
so also are they now disobedient to the mercy, which is upon you, that there may be mercy on them likewise.
For God hath shut up all men in disobedience, that upon all men he might have mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O meid laud erpit en Kot o a kotin mangi meakaros, sota me kak weweki a kadeik kan, de pameda al en a wiawia kan!
O the depth of the riches, and the wisdom, and the knowledge of God! For man hath not searched out his judgments; and his ways are inscrutable.
34 Pwe is me asaer kupur en Kaun o, de is me padaki ong i meakot?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been a counsellor to him?
35 De is me ki ong i meakot, pwen depuk ong i?
Or who hath first given to him, and then received from him?
