Erromatarrei 11
1 Galdez nago bada, Ala iraitzi vkan du Iaincoac bere populua? Guertha eztadila: ecen ni-ere Israeltár naiz, Abrahamen hacitic, Beniaminen leinutic.
I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of 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 cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, 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 have put Thy Prophets to death, and have overthrown Thy altars; and, now that I alone remain, they are thirsting for my blood"?
4 Baina cer diotsa hari reposta diuinoac? Reseruatu citiát neurorrendaco çazpi milla guiçon belhaunic Baalen imaginari plegatu eztraucatenic.
But what did God say to him in reply? "I have reserved for Myself 7,000 men who have never bent the knee to Baal."
5 Hala bada dembora hunetan-ere, reseruatione gratiazco electionearen arauez eguin içan da.
In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.
6 Eta baldin gratiaz, ez guehiagoric obréz: bercela gratiá guehiagoric ezta gratia: baina baldin obréz bada, guehiagoric ezta gratia: bercela obrá guehiagoric ezta obra.
But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.
7 Cer beraz? Bilhatzen çuena Israelec eztu ardietsi: eta electioneac ardietsi vkan du, eta goiticoac gogortu içan dirade,
How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.
8 Scribatua den beçala, Eman vkan draue Iaincoac spiritu ithobat: eta begui, ikus ezteçatençát: eta beharri, ençun ezteçatençát egungo egunerano.
And so Scripture says, "God has given them a spirit of drowsiness--eyes to see nothing with and ears to hear nothing with--even until now."
9 Eta Dauid-ec erraiten du, Berén mahaina arte bilha bequié, eta laço eta trebucamendu, eta haur pagamendutan.
And David says, "Let their very food become a snare and a trap to them, a stumbling-block and a retribution.
10 Ilhun bitez hayén beguiac, ikus ezteçatençát: eta hayén bizcarra bethiere makur eçac.
Let darkness come over their eyes that they may be unable to see, and make Thou their backs continually to stoop."
11 Galdez nago bada, ala trebucatu içan dirade eror litecençat? Guertha eztadila: baina hayén erorteaz saluamendua Gentiletara ethorri içan da, hæy iarreiquitera incitatzeco.
I ask, however, "Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?" No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;
12 Eta baldin hayén erortea munduaren abrastassun bada, eta hayén diminutionea Gentilén abrastassun: cembatez areago hayén abundantia?
and if their lapse is the enriching of the world, and their overthrow the enriching of the Gentiles, will not still greater good follow their restoration?
13 Ecen çuey Gentiloy diotsuet, ni Gentilén Apostolu naicen becembatean, neure ministerioa ohoratzen dut:
But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,
14 Eya nolazpait neure ahaideac ielos eraci ahal ditzaquedanez, eta hetaric batzu salua.
trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.
15 Ecen baldin hayén iraiztea munduaren reconciliatione bada, ceric içanen da receptionea, hiletaric vicitze baicen?
For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?
16 Eta baldin primitiác saindu badirade, bayeta orhea: eta baldin erroa saindu bada, bayeta adarrac.
Now if the firstfruits of the dough are holy, so also is the whole mass; and if the root of a tree is holy, so also 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,
And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,
18 Ezadila gloria adarrén contra: eta baldin gloriatzen bahaiz, eztuc hic erroa egarten, baina erroac hi.
beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.
19 Erranen duc bada, Hautsi içan dirade adarrac, ni chartha nendinçát.
"Branches have been lopped off," you will say, "for the sake of my being grafted in."
20 Vngui: hec infidelitatez hautsi içan dituc, eta hi fedez çutic ago: ezadila vrguluz hant, baina aicén beldur.
This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.
21 Ecen baldin Iaincoac adar naturalac guppida vkan ezpaditu, beguirauc hi-ere guppida ezauèn.
Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather--for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.
22 Ikussac beraz Iaincoaren benignitatea eta seueritatea: trebucatuetara, seueritatea: eta hiregana, benignitatea, baldin perseuera badeçac benignitatean: ezpere hi-ere ebaquiren aiz.
Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.
23 Eta hec-ere baldin perseuera ezpadeçate infidelitatean, charthaturen dituc, ecen Iaincoa botheretsu duc harçara hayén charthatzeco.
Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them 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?
and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive 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.
For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves--the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;
26 Eta hala Israel gucia saluaturen da, scribatua den beçala, Ethorriren da Siondic liberaçalea, eta aldaraturen ditu infidelitateac Iacobganic.
and so all Israel will be saved. As is declared in Scripture, "From Mount Zion a Deliverer will come: He will remove all ungodliness from Jacob;
27 Eta alliança haur eneganic vkanen duté, Kendu dituquedanean hayén bekatuac.
and this shall be My Covenant with them; when I have taken away their sins."
28 Euangelioaz den becembatean, bay etsay dirade çuen causaz, baina electioneaz den becembatean, onhetsiac, Aitén causaz.
In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.
29 Ecen dolu gabe dirade Iaincoaren dohainac eta vocationea.
For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;
30 Ecen nola çuec-ere noizpait Iaincoagana desobedient içan baitzarete: baina orain misericordia ardietsi baituçue hayén desobedient içanez:
but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,
31 Hala hauc-ere orain eztuté obeditu vkan, çuey eguin çaiçuen misericordiaz hauc-ere misericordia ardiets deçatençát.
so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.
32 Ecen Iaincoac ertsi vkan ditu guciac desobedientiatan, guciey misericordia leguiençát. (eleēsē g1653)
For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy. (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 inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!
34 Ecen norc eçagutu vkan du Iaunaren gogoa? edo nor içan da haren conseillari?
"Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"
35 Edo norc lehenic eman drauca hari, eta rendaturen baitzayo?
"Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"
