Romans 11
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
λεγω ουν μη απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου μη γενοιτο και γαρ εγω ισραηλιτησ ειμι εκ σπερματοσ αβρααμ φυλησ βενιαμιν
2 God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
ουκ απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου ον προεγνω η ουκ οιδατε εν ηλια τι λεγει η γραφη ωσ εντυγχανει τω θεω κατα του ισραηλ λεγων
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
κυριε τουσ προφητασ σου απεκτειναν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν καγω υπελειφθην μονοσ και ζητουσιν την ψυχην μου
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
αλλα τι λεγει αυτω ο χρηματισμοσ κατελιπον εμαυτω επτακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ οιτινεσ ουκ εκαμψαν γονυ τη βααλ
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
ουτωσ ουν και εν τω νυν καιρω λειμμα κατ εκλογην χαριτοσ γεγονεν
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
ει δε χαριτι ουκετι εξ εργων επει η χαρισ ουκετι γινεται χαρισ ει δε εξ εργων ουκετι εστιν χαρισ επει το εργον ουκετι εστιν εργον
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
τι ουν ο επιζητει ισραηλ τουτο ουκ επετυχεν η δε εκλογη επετυχεν οι δε λοιποι επωρωθησαν
8 According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
καθωσ γεγραπται εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ πνευμα κατανυξεωσ οφθαλμουσ του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν εωσ τησ σημερον ημερασ
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
και δαυιδ λεγει γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εισ παγιδα και εισ θηραν και εισ σκανδαλον και εισ ανταποδομα αυτοισ
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντοσ συγκαμψον
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
λεγω ουν μη επταισαν ινα πεσωσιν μη γενοιτο αλλα τω αυτων παραπτωματι η σωτηρια τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το παραζηλωσαι αυτουσ
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτοσ κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτοσ εθνων ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
υμιν γαρ λεγω τοισ εθνεσιν εφ οσον μεν ειμι εγω εθνων αποστολοσ την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ει πωσ παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινασ εξ αυτων
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου τισ η προσληψισ ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
ει δε η απαρχη αγια και το φυραμα και ει η ριζα αγια και οι κλαδοι
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
ει δε τινεσ των κλαδων εξεκλασθησαν συ δε αγριελαιοσ ων ενεκεντρισθησ εν αυτοισ και συγκοινωνοσ τησ ριζησ και τησ πιοτητοσ τησ ελαιασ εγενου
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων ει δε κατακαυχασαι ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεισ αλλ η ριζα σε
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
ερεισ ουν εξεκλασθησαν κλαδοι ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
καλωσ τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν συ δε τη πιστει εστηκασ μη υψηλοφρονει αλλα φοβου
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
ει γαρ ο θεοσ των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο μηπωσ ουδε σου φεισεται
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
ιδε ουν χρηστοτητα και αποτομιαν θεου επι μεν τουσ πεσοντασ αποτομιαν επι δε σε χρηστοτητα εαν επιμεινησ τη χρηστοτητι επει και συ εκκοπηση
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
και εκεινοι δε εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια εγκεντρισθησονται δυνατοσ γαρ ο θεοσ εστιν παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτουσ
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
ει γαρ συ εκ τησ κατα φυσιν εξεκοπησ αγριελαιου και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθησ εισ καλλιελαιον ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι κατα φυσιν εγκεντρισθησονται τη ιδια ελαια
25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
ου γαρ θελω υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι το μυστηριον τουτο ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοισ φρονιμοι οτι πωρωσισ απο μερουσ τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρι ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
και ουτωσ πασ ισραηλ σωθησεται καθωσ γεγραπται ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενοσ και αποστρεψει ασεβειασ απο ιακωβ
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
και αυτη αυτοισ η παρ εμου διαθηκη οταν αφελωμαι τασ αμαρτιασ αυτων
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον εχθροι δι υμασ κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τουσ πατερασ
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησισ του θεου
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
ωσπερ γαρ και υμεισ ποτε ηπειθησατε τω θεω νυν δε ηλεηθητε τη τουτων απειθεια
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
ουτωσ και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν
συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεοσ τουσ παντασ εισ απειθειαν ινα τουσ παντασ ελεηση (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
ω βαθοσ πλουτου και σοφιασ και γνωσεωσ θεου ωσ ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
τισ γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου η τισ συμβουλοσ αυτου εγενετο
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
η τισ προεδωκεν αυτω και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω
