Romans 11
1 Ǹjẹ́ mo ní, Ọlọ́run ha ta àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nù bí? Kí a má ri. Nítorí Israẹli ni èmi pẹ̀lú, láti inú irú-ọmọ Abrahamu, ni ẹ̀yà Benjamini.
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 Ọlọ́run kò ta àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nù ti ó ti mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀. Tàbí ẹ̀yin kò mọ bí ìwé mímọ́ ti wí ní ti Elijah? Bí ó ti ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún Israẹli, wí pé:
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 “Olúwa, wọ́n ti pa àwọn wòlíì rẹ, wọn sì ti wó àwọn pẹpẹ rẹ lulẹ̀; èmi nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó sì kù, wọ́n sì ń wá ẹ̀mí mi.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ìdáhùn wo ni Ọlọ́run fi fún un? “Mo ti ṣẹ́ ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin ènìyàn kù sílẹ̀ fún ara mi, àwọn tí kò tẹ eékún ba fún Baali.”
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 Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni, ní àkókò yìí àṣẹ́kù àwọn ènìyàn kan wà nípa ìyànfẹ́ ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́.
Thus then also in the present time a remnant according to [the] election of grace there has been.
6 Bí ó bá sì ṣe pé nípa ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ni, ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe ti iṣẹ́ mọ́; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ kì yóò jẹ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe pé nípa ti iṣẹ́ ni, ǹjẹ́ kì í ṣe ti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ mọ́; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, iṣẹ́ kì í ṣe iṣẹ́ mọ́.
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 Kí ha ni? Ohun tí Israẹli ń wá kiri, òun náà ni kò rí; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹni àyànfẹ́ ti rí i, a sì sé àyà àwọn ìyókù le.
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 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Ọlọ́run ti fún wọn ní ẹ̀mí oorun, àwọn ojú tí kò le ríran àti àwọn etí tí kò le gbọ́rọ̀, títí ó fi di òní olónìí yìí.”
(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 Dafidi sì wí pé: “Jẹ́ kí tábìlì wọn kí ó di ìdẹ̀kùn àti tàkúté, ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ àti ẹ̀san fún wọn.
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 Jẹ́ kí ojú wọn ṣókùnkùn, kí wọn kí ó má le ríran, Kí wọn kí ó sì tẹ ẹ̀yìn wọn ba nígbà gbogbo.”
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 Ǹjẹ́ mo ní, wọ́n ha kọsẹ̀ kí wọn kí ó lè ṣubú? Kí a má ri i, ṣùgbọ́n nípa ìṣubú wọn, ìgbàlà dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Kèfèrí, láti mú Israẹli jowú.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìṣubú wọn bá di ọrọ̀ ayé, àti bí ìfàsẹ́yìn wọn bá di ọrọ̀ àwọn Kèfèrí; mélòó mélòó ni kíkún ọrọ̀ wọn?
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 Ẹ̀yin tí i ṣe Kèfèrí ni èmi sá à ń bá sọ̀rọ̀, níwọ̀n bí èmi ti jẹ́ aposteli àwọn Kèfèrí, mo gbé oyè mi ga
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 bí ó le ṣe kí èmi kí ó lè mú àwọn ará mi jowú, àti kí èmi kí ó lè gba díẹ̀ là nínú wọn.
if at all I will provoke to jealousy of me the flesh and will save some of them.
15 Nítorí bí títanù wọn bá jẹ́ ìlàjà ayé, gbígbà wọn yóò ha ti rí, bí kò sí ìyè kúrò nínú òkú?
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 Ǹjẹ́ bí àkọ́so bá jẹ́ mímọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àkópọ̀ yóò jẹ́ mímọ́; bí gbòǹgbò bá sì jẹ́ mímọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ náà.
If now the firstfruit [is] holy, also the lump; and if the root [is] holy, also the branches.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá ya nínú àwọn ẹ̀ka kúrò, tí a sì lọ́ ìwọ, tí í ṣe igi òróró igbó sára wọn, tí ìwọ sì ń bá wọn pín nínú gbòǹgbò àti ọ̀rá igi olifi náà,
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 má ṣe ṣe féfé sí àwọn ẹ̀ka igi náà. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá ṣe féfé, ìwọ kọ́ ni ó rù gbòǹgbò, ṣùgbọ́n gbòǹgbò ni ó rù ìwọ.
not do boast over the branches; If now you boast against [them], not you yourself the root support but the root you.
19 Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ó wí pé, “A ti fa àwọn ẹ̀ka náà ya, nítorí kí a lè lọ́ mi sínú rẹ̀.”
You will say then; Were broken off (*k*) branches that I myself may be grafted in.
20 Ó dára; nítorí àìgbàgbọ́ ni a ṣe fà wọn ya kúrò, ìwọ sì dúró nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ. Má ṣe gbé ara rẹ ga, ṣùgbọ́n bẹ̀rù.
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 Nítorí bí Ọlọ́run kò bá dá ẹ̀ka-ìyẹ́ka sí, kíyèsára kí ó má ṣe ṣe àìdá ìwọ náà sí.
If for God the according to nature branches not spared, surely (perhaps *NK*) neither you (will He spare. *N(k)O*)
22 Nítorí náà wo oore àti ìkáàánú Ọlọ́run; lórí àwọn tí ó ṣubú, ìkáàánú; ṣùgbọ́n lórí ìwọ, oore, bi ìwọ bá dúró nínú oore rẹ̀; kí a má bá ké ìwọ náà kúrò.
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 Àti àwọn pẹ̀lú, bí wọn kò bá jókòó sínú àìgbàgbọ́, a ó lọ́ wọn sínú rẹ̀, nítorí Ọlọ́run le tún wọn lọ́ sínú rẹ̀.
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 Nítorí bí a bá ti ké ìwọ kúrò lára igi òróró igbó nípa ẹ̀dá rẹ̀, tí a sì lọ́ ìwọ sínú igi òróró rere lòdì sí ti ẹ̀dá; mélòó mélòó ni a ó lọ́ àwọn wọ̀nyí, tí í ṣe ẹ̀ka-ìyẹ́ka sára igi òróró wọn?
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 Ará, èmi kò ṣá fẹ́ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó wà ní òpè ní ti ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ yìí, kí ẹ̀yin má ba á ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n ní ojú ara yín, pé ìfọ́jú bá Israẹli ní apá kan, títí kíkún àwọn Kèfèrí yóò fi dé.
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sì gba gbogbo Israẹli là, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé: “Ní Sioni ni Olùgbàlà yóò ti jáde wá, yóò sì yìí àìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Jakọbu.
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 Èyí sì ni májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú wọn. Nígbà tí èmi yóò mú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn kúrò.”
And this [is] to them the from Me covenant, when I may take away the sins of them.
28 Nípa ti ìyìnrere, ọ̀tá ni wọ́n nítorí yín; bí ó sì ṣe ti ìyànfẹ́ ni, olùfẹ́ ni wọ́n nítorí ti àwọn baba.
As regards indeed the gospel [they are] enemies on account of you As regards however the election beloved on account of the patriarchs;
29 Nítorí àìlábámọ̀ ni ẹ̀bùn àti ìpè Ọlọ́run.
Irrevocable for [are] the gifts and the calling of God.
30 Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò ti gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́ rí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí tí ẹ̀yin rí àánú gbà nípa àìgbàgbọ́ wọn.
Just as for (and *k*) you yourselves once were disobedient to God now however were shown mercy to them through their disobedience,
31 Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn wọ̀nyí tí ó ṣe àìgbọ́ràn nísinsin yìí, kí àwọn pẹ̀lú bá le rí àánú gbà nípa àánú tí a fihàn yín.
so also these now were disobedient to your mercy so that also they themselves (now *NO*) may have mercy shown [them].
32 Nítorí Ọlọ́run sé gbogbo wọn mọ́ pọ̀ sínú àìgbàgbọ́, kí ó le ṣàánú fún gbogbo wọn. (eleēsē g1653)
Has bound up for God all in disobedience that all He may show mercy to. (eleēsē g1653)
33 A! Ìjìnlẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ àti ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ Ọlọ́run! Àwámárídìí ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ti rí, ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sì jù àwárí lọ!
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 “Nítorí ta ni ó mọ ọkàn Olúwa? Tàbí ta ni í ṣe ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀?”
Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? or who counselor of Him has been?
35 “Tàbí ta ni ó kọ́ fi fún un, tí a kò sì san padà fún un?”
Or who has first given to Him, and it will be recompensed to him?
