Erromatarrei 11
1 Galdez nago bada, Ala iraitzi vkan du Iaincoac bere populua? Guertha eztadila: ecen ni-ere Israeltár naiz, Abrahamen hacitic, Beniaminen leinutic.
But then I ask, “Has God rejected his people?” Of course not! I'm an Israelite myself, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Eztu iraitzi Iaincoac bere populu lehenetic eçagutua. Ala eztaquiçue Eliasez cer erraiten duen Scripturác? nola requesta eguiten draucan Iaincoari Israelen contra, dioela,
God has not rejected his chosen people. Don't you recall what Scripture says about Elijah? How he complained about Israel to God, saying,
3 Iauna hire Prophetác hil citié, eta hire aldareac deseguin citié, eta ni azquendu içan nauc neuror, eta ene arimaren ondoan diabiltzac.
“Lord they've killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I'm the only one left, and they're trying to kill me too!”
4 Baina cer diotsa hari reposta diuinoac? Reseruatu citiát neurorrendaco çazpi milla guiçon belhaunic Baalen imaginari plegatu eztraucatenic.
How did God answer him? “I still have seven thousand left who have not worshiped Baal.”
5 Hala bada dembora hunetan-ere, reseruatione gratiazco electionearen arauez eguin içan da.
Today it's just the same: there are still some faithful people left, chosen by God's grace.
6 Eta baldin gratiaz, ez guehiagoric obréz: bercela gratiá guehiagoric ezta gratia: baina baldin obréz bada, guehiagoric ezta gratia: bercela obrá guehiagoric ezta obra.
And since it's through grace, then clearly it's not based on what people do, otherwise grace wouldn't be grace!
7 Cer beraz? Bilhatzen çuena Israelec eztu ardietsi: eta electioneac ardietsi vkan du, eta goiticoac gogortu içan dirade,
So what do we conclude? That the people of Israel didn't achieve what they were striving for—only the chosen, while the rest became hard-hearted.
8 Scribatua den beçala, Eman vkan draue Iaincoac spiritu ithobat: eta begui, ikus ezteçatençát: eta beharri, ençun ezteçatençát egungo egunerano.
As Scripture says, “God dulled their minds so their eyes could not see and their ears could not hear, to this very day.”
9 Eta Dauid-ec erraiten du, Berén mahaina arte bilha bequié, eta laço eta trebucamendu, eta haur pagamendutan.
David adds, “May their feasts become a trap for them, a net that catches them, a temptation that brings punishment.
10 Ilhun bitez hayén beguiac, ikus ezteçatençát: eta hayén bizcarra bethiere makur eçac.
May their eyes become blind so they cannot see, and may their backs always be bent low in dejection.”
11 Galdez nago bada, ala trebucatu içan dirade eror litecençat? Guertha eztadila: baina hayén erorteaz saluamendua Gentiletara ethorri içan da, hæy iarreiquitera incitatzeco.
So am I saying that they stumbled and consequently failed completely? Not at all! But as a result of their mistakes, salvation came to other nations, to “make them jealous.”
12 Eta baldin hayén erortea munduaren abrastassun bada, eta hayén diminutionea Gentilén abrastassun: cembatez areago hayén abundantia?
Now if even their failure benefits the world, and their loss profits the foreigners, how much more beneficial it would be if they were to completely fulfill what they were meant to be.
13 Ecen çuey Gentiloy diotsuet, ni Gentilén Apostolu naicen becembatean, neure ministerioa ohoratzen dut:
Now let me speak to you foreigners. Insofar as I'm a missionary to foreigners, I promote what I'm doing
14 Eya nolazpait neure ahaideac ielos eraci ahal ditzaquedanez, eta hetaric batzu salua.
that somehow I might make my people jealous and save some of them.
15 Ecen baldin hayén iraiztea munduaren reconciliatione bada, ceric içanen da receptionea, hiletaric vicitze baicen?
If the result of God's rejection of them is that the world becomes God's friends, the result of God's acceptance of them would be like the dead coming back to life!
16 Eta baldin primitiác saindu badirade, bayeta orhea: eta baldin erroa saindu bada, bayeta adarrac.
If the first part of the bread dough given as an offering is holy, then so is all the rest; if the roots of a tree are holy, then so are the branches.
17 Eta baldin adarretaric batzu hautsi içan badirade, eta hi bassa oliua incelaric, charthatu içan bahaiz hayén orde, eta oliua erroan eta vrinean participant eguin bahaiz,
Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and you—a wild olive shoot—have been grafted in, and have shared with them the benefit of nourishment from the olive tree's roots,
18 Ezadila gloria adarrén contra: eta baldin gloriatzen bahaiz, eztuc hic erroa egarten, baina erroac hi.
then you shouldn't look down on the other branches. If you're tempted to boast, remember it's not you who are supporting the roots, but the roots that are supporting you.
19 Erranen duc bada, Hautsi içan dirade adarrac, ni chartha nendinçát.
You could make the claim, “Branches were broken off so I could be grafted in.”
20 Vngui: hec infidelitatez hautsi içan dituc, eta hi fedez çutic ago: ezadila vrguluz hant, baina aicén beldur.
All well and good—but they were broken off because of their failure to trust in God, and you stay there because you trust in God. So don't think highly of yourselves, but be respectful,
21 Ecen baldin Iaincoac adar naturalac guppida vkan ezpaditu, beguirauc hi-ere guppida ezauèn.
because if God didn't spare the original branches, he won't spare you either.
22 Ikussac beraz Iaincoaren benignitatea eta seueritatea: trebucatuetara, seueritatea: eta hiregana, benignitatea, baldin perseuera badeçac benignitatean: ezpere hi-ere ebaquiren aiz.
You should recognize both God's kindness and toughness—he was tough on the fallen, but God is kind to you so long as you trust in his kindness—otherwise you'll be removed too.
23 Eta hec-ere baldin perseuera ezpadeçate infidelitatean, charthaturen dituc, ecen Iaincoa botheretsu duc harçara hayén charthatzeco.
If they no longer refuse to trust in God, they can be grafted in as well, for God is able to graft them back in again.
24 Ecen baldin hi naturaz bassa cen oliuatic ebaqui içan bahaiz, eta natura contra oliua onean charthatu bahaiz: cembatez areago natural diradenac charthaturen dirade bere oliua proprian?
If you could be cut from a wild olive tree, and then be grafted artificially onto a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily they could be grafted back naturally to their own tree.
25 Ecen eztut nahi ignora deçaçuen, anayeác, secretu haur, (ceuroc baithan arrogant etzaretençat) ecen gogortassuna parte Israeli ethorri içan çayola, Gentilén complimendua sar leiteno.
I don't want you, my brothers and sisters to miss this previously-hidden truth, for otherwise you could become conceited. The people of Israel have become hard-hearted in part, until the process of the foreigners coming in is complete.
26 Eta hala Israel gucia saluaturen da, scribatua den beçala, Ethorriren da Siondic liberaçalea, eta aldaraturen ditu infidelitateac Iacobganic.
This is how all Israel will be saved. As Scripture says, “The Savior will come from Zion, and he will turn Jacob away from his opposition to God.
27 Eta alliança haur eneganic vkanen duté, Kendu dituquedanean hayén bekatuac.
My promise to them is that I'll take away their sins.”
28 Euangelioaz den becembatean, bay etsay dirade çuen causaz, baina electioneaz den becembatean, onhetsiac, Aitén causaz.
Though they are enemies of the good news—and this is to your benefit—they are still the chosen people, and loved because of their forefathers.
29 Ecen dolu gabe dirade Iaincoaren dohainac eta vocationea.
God's gifts and his calling can't be withdrawn.
30 Ecen nola çuec-ere noizpait Iaincoagana desobedient içan baitzarete: baina orain misericordia ardietsi baituçue hayén desobedient içanez:
At one time you disobeyed God, but now God has shown you mercy as a result of their disobedience.
31 Hala hauc-ere orain eztuté obeditu vkan, çuey eguin çaiçuen misericordiaz hauc-ere misericordia ardiets deçatençát.
In just the same way that they're now disobedient as you were, they will also be shown mercy like you received.
32 Ecen Iaincoac ertsi vkan ditu guciac desobedientiatan, guciey misericordia leguiençát. (eleēsē g1653)
For God treated everyone as prisoners because of their disobedience so that he could be merciful to everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O Iaincoaren sapientiaren eta eçagutzearen abrastassunen barná! ala haren iugemenduac baitirade comprehendi ecin daitezqueen beçalacoac, eta haren bideac erideiteco impossibleac!
Oh how deep are God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge! How incredible his decisions, how unimaginable his methods!
34 Ecen norc eçagutu vkan du Iaunaren gogoa? edo nor içan da haren conseillari?
Who can know God's thoughts? Who can give him advice?
35 Edo norc lehenic eman drauca hari, eta rendaturen baitzayo?
Who has ever given anything to God that God would be obliged to repay?
