Romafoɔ 11
1 Afei, mebisa sɛ Onyankopɔn ato ne ɔman atwene anaa? Dabi. Mʼankasa meyɛ Israelni na meyɛ Abraham aseni a mefiri Benyamin abusua mu.
I ask then; not did reject God the people of Him? Never would it be! Also for I myself an Israelite am, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
2 Onyankopɔn ampo ne nkurɔfoɔ a ɔyii wɔn ahyɛaseɛ no. Monim deɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka fa Elia sɛdeɛ ɔkasa tiaa Israelfoɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛ,
Not did reject God the people of Him whom He foreknew. Or not know you in Elijah what says the Scripture, how he pleads with God against Israel (saying *k*)
3 “Awurade, wɔakum wʼadiyifoɔ na wɔadwiri wʼafɔrebukyia, na me nko na maka a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔkum me.”
Lord, the prophets of You they have killed, (and *k*) the altars of You they have torn down, and I myself and I myself were left alone, and they are seeking the life of me.
4 Mmuaeɛ bɛn na Onyankopɔn de maa no? Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Mewɔ nnipa mpemnson a wɔnsom ɔbosom Baal.”
But what [was] spoken to him the divine answer? I have left to Myself seven thousand men who not bowed [the] knee to Baal.
5 Saa ara nso na ɛte ɛnnɛ. Nnipa kakra bi wɔ hɔ a Onyankopɔn nam ne dom so ayi wɔn.
Thus then also in the present time a remnant according to [the] election of grace there has been.
6 Yi a wayi wɔn no gyina nʼadom so na ɛnyɛ wɔn nnwuma so. Na sɛ Onyankopɔn yi a ɔyi nnipa no gyina wɔn nnwuma so a, ɛnneɛ na adom no nyɛ adom turodoo.
If now by grace no longer no longer from works, otherwise grace no longer no longer would be grace (if *KO*) (now from works no longer no longer is grace since the work no longer no longer is work. *K*)
7 Ɛnneɛ na ɛne ɛdeɛn? Deɛ Israelfoɔ tii akyire hwehwɛeɛ no, wɔn nsa anka, na mmom, kakraa a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no deɛ, wɔn nsa kaeɛ. Wɔn a wɔaka no pirim wɔn akoma
What then? What is seeking Israel, (this *N(k)O*) not it has obtained, but the elect obtained [it]; The now rest were hardened
8 sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Onyankopɔn maa wɔn honhom a ɛyɛ tebɔɔ, ani a ɛmma wɔnhunu adeɛ aso a ɛmma wɔnnte asɛm, de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.”
(even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: Gave to them God a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear unto the today day.
9 Na Dawid ka sɛ, “Ma wɔn didipono a ɛsi wɔn anim nyi wɔn sɛ afidie na wɔnhwehwe ase na wɔntwe wɔn aso!
And David says: should be the table of them for a snare and for a trap and for a stumbling block and for a retribution to them;
10 Ma wɔn ani so nyɛ wɔn kusuu na wɔanhunu adeɛ; na wɔn akyi nkuntunu afebɔɔ.”
should be darkened the eyes of them not to see, and the backs of them (for *N(K)O*) (all [times] *N(k)O*) do bend over.
11 Afei, mebisa sɛ, ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ yɛɛ bɔne no, ɛde wɔn kɔɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu anaa? Dabi! Amanamanmufoɔ nam Yudafoɔ no bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ no so nyaa nkwagyeɛ. Yei maa Yudafoɔ no twee wɔn so ninkunu.
I say then, surely not they did stumble so that they may fall? Never would it be! But in the of them trespass [is] salvation to the Gentiles so as to provoke to jealousy them.
12 Yudafoɔ no bɔne a wɔyɛeɛ no de nnepa brɛɛ ewiase na wɔn honhom mu hia a wɔdiiɛ no nso de ahonya brɛɛ amanamanmufoɔ. Na ɛba sɛ Yudafoɔ no mu bebree bɛka wɔn ho a, nhyira mmorosoɔ bɛn na ɛremma?
If however the trespass of them [is] riches of [the] world and the failure of them [is the] riches of [the] Gentiles, how much more the fullness of them?
13 Afei, merekasa akyerɛ mo amanamanmufoɔ: Esiane sɛ meyɛ amanamanmufoɔ somafoɔ enti, mehoahoa me ho wɔ adwuma a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa no ho.
To you (now *N(k)O*) I am speaking Gentiles; Upon as much as indeed (therefore *NO*) am I myself of [the] Gentiles apostle, the ministry of mine I magnify,
14 Sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, mɛma wɔn a wɔyɛ me nuanom Yudafoɔ no kɔn adɔ deɛ mo amanamanmufoɔ nsa aka yi bi, na wɔnam so agye wɔn mu bi nkwa.
if at all I will provoke to jealousy of me the flesh and will save some of them.
15 Na sɛ wɔn po a wɔpoo wɔn no ama Onyankopɔn ne ewiasefoɔ aka abom a, ɛnneɛ, gye a Onyankopɔn bɛgye wɔn no de ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛba? Ɛde nkwa bɛbrɛ awufoɔ.
If for the rejection of them [is the] reconciliation of [the] world, what [will be] the acceptance only except life out from [the] dead?
16 Sɛ wɔde burodo sin ma Onyankopɔn a, ɛnneɛ na ne mu nyinaa yɛ ne dea. Saa ara nso na sɛ dua no nhini yɛ kronkron a, ne mman no nyinaa nso yɛ kronkron.
If now the firstfruit [is] holy, also the lump; and if the root [is] holy, also the branches.
17 Wɔapempan ngo dua a wɔahyɛda adua no mman no bi agu, na wɔde ngo dua a wɔanhyɛda annua no mman abɛhyɛ nʼanan mu. Mo amanamanmufoɔ no te sɛ ngo dua a wɔanhyɛ da annua, nanso afei deɛ, mo ne Yudafoɔ no nyinaa anya Onyankopɔn adom a wɔde adom wɔn no bi.
If however some of the branches were broken off, you yourself now a wild olive tree being you were grafted in among them and a fellow-partaker of the root (and *ko*) of the fatness of the olive tree you have become,
18 Nanso monhwɛ yie na moanhoahoa mo ho sɛ wɔde mo asi mman a wɔapempan no ananmu. Monkae sɛ moyɛ mman kɛkɛ, na monyɛ nhini.
not do boast over the branches; If now you boast against [them], not you yourself the root support but the root you.
19 Na mobɛka sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, wɔbubuu mman no sɛ wɔmfa me nsi wɔn ananmu.”
You will say then; Were broken off (*k*) branches that I myself may be grafted in.
20 Aane, nanso monkae sɛ wɔpempan saa mman a ɛyɛ Yudafoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ wɔannye Onyankopɔn anni, na mogye di enti na mowɔ hɔ. Mommma mo ho so, na mmom monsuro deɛ ɛbɛtumi asie.
Rightly so; by the unbelief they were broken off, you yourself however by faith have stood. Not high do be minded but do be afraid;
21 Na sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa Yudafoɔ a wɔte sɛ ngo dua pa mman no bɔne ankyɛre wɔn a, mosusu sɛ ɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo?
If for God the according to nature branches not spared, surely (perhaps *NK*) neither you (will He spare. *N(k)O*)
22 Enti monhwɛ Onyankopɔn ayamyɛ ne ne denyɛ. Ɔyɛ den wɔ wɔn a wɔyɛɛ asoɔden no so, nanso ne yam yɛ ma mo wɔ ɛberɛ a mode mo ho ato nʼayamyɛ so. Na sɛ moamfa mo ho anto no so a, saa ara na wɔbɛpempan mo.
Behold therefore [the] kindness and severity of God; upon indeed those having fallen (severity, *N(k)O*) toward however you (kindness *N(k)O*) (of God, *NO*) if (you shall continue in *NK(O)*) the kindness; otherwise also you yourself will be cut off.
23 Na sɛ Yudafoɔ no gye di bio a, Onyankopɔn bɛsane de wɔn ayɛ dua no mman bio. Ɔbɛtumi ayɛ saa.
And they And they now only unless (they shall continue *N(k)O*) in unbelief, [then] they will be grafted in; able for is God again to graft in them;
24 Na sɛ Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔde mo a moyɛ wiram ngo dua mman bɛfam dua papa a ɔno ankasa adua ho, deɛ anka ɛmfa kwan mu a, ɛnneɛ ɔbɛpɛ no mmorosoɔ sɛ ɔde Yudafoɔ no bɛfam dua a ɛyɛ wɔn ankasa dea no ho.
If for you yourself out of the according to nature were cut off a wild olive tree and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more these who according to nature [are] will be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 Me nuanom, ahintasɛm bi wɔ hɔ a mepɛ sɛ mote aseɛ, sɛdeɛ monnyɛ ahantan na monhoahoa mo ho. Yudafoɔ no mu bi apirim wɔn akoma, nanso sɛ amanamanmufoɔ no nyinaa dane ba Kristo nkyɛn a, ɛtoɔ bɛtwa.
Not for I want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the mystery this, that not you may be (beside *NK(o)*) yourselves wise, that a hardening in part to Israel has happened until that the fullness of the Gentiles may come in,
26 Enti Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛnya nkwagyeɛ. Mokae deɛ adiyifoɔ no kaa wɔ yei ho? “Agyenkwa no bɛfiri Sion aba, na ɔbɛyi amumuyɛsɛm nyinaa afiri Yakob asefoɔ mu.
and so all Israel will be saved even as it has been written: Will come out of Zion the [One] Delivering, (and *k*) He will remove ungodliness from Jacob;
27 Na mɛdi apam a me ne wɔn ayɛ no so na mapepa wɔn bɔne.”
And this [is] to them the from Me covenant, when I may take away the sins of them.
28 Yudafoɔ no bebree ayɛ Asɛmpa no atamfoɔ. Na mo, amanamanmufoɔ anya ho mfasoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn de nʼakyɛdeɛ no ama mo. Nanso, Yudafoɔ yɛ ne ɔman a wapa wɔn ara, ɛsiane ɛbɔ a wahyɛ wɔn nananom enti,
As regards indeed the gospel [they are] enemies on account of you As regards however the election beloved on account of the patriarchs;
29 ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ ne ne frɛ no, wɔnsesa.
Irrevocable for [are] the gifts and the calling of God.
30 Na mo amanamanmufoɔ deɛ, ɛberɛ a atwam no mu, moyɛɛ asoɔden tiaa Onyankopɔn, nanso Yudafoɔ no poo nʼahummɔborɔ no enti Onyankopɔn hunuu mo mmɔbɔ mmom.
Just as for (and *k*) you yourselves once were disobedient to God now however were shown mercy to them through their disobedience,
31 Saa ara nso na ɛsiane adom a moanya no enti, seesei, Yudafoɔ no nso ayɛ asoɔden atia Onyankopɔn. Nanso nna bi akyire no wɔn nso bɛnya Onyankopɔn adom no.
so also these now were disobedient to your mercy so that also they themselves (now *NO*) may have mercy shown [them].
Has bound up for God all in disobedience that all He may show mercy to. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Ao Onyankopɔn ahonya ne nyansa ne nimdeɛ bunu a emu dɔ! Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ahunu nʼatemmuo mu pɛɛpɛeɛ, na wɔahunu deɛ nʼakwan nenam.
O [the] depth of riches both of wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable the judgments of Him and untraceable the ways of Him!
34 “Hwan na ɔnim Awurade adwene anaasɛ hwan na ɔyɛ ne fotufoɔ?”
Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? or who counselor of Him has been?
35 “Hwan na wama Onyankopɔn biribi kane a ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn tua no so ka?”
Or who has first given to Him, and it will be recompensed to him?
