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.
Dia hoy izaho: Sao narian’ Andriamanitra anie ny olony? Sanatria izany! fa izaho koa mba Isiraelita’ taranak’ i Abrahama ihany, avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina.
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:
Andriamanitra tsy nanary ny olony izay efa fantany rahateo; sa tsy fantatrareo izay lazain’ ny Soratra Masìna eo amin’ ny tantaran’ i Elia, dia ilay fitarainany tamin’ Andriamanitra nentiny namely ny Isiraely hoe:
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
Jehovah ô, efa namono ny mpaminaninao sy nandrava ny alitaranao izy: ary izaho irery ihany no sisa, ka mitady ny aiko koa izy?
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Fa ahoana no navalin’ Andriamanitra azy? Izaho efa niaro fito arivo lahy ho Ahy, dia izay tsy mba nandohalika tamin’ i Bala.
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Dia toy izany koa amin’ izao andro ankehitriny izao misy sisa ihany araka ny fifidianana amin’ ny fahasoavana.
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.
Ary raha avy amin’ ny fahasoavana izany, dia tsy mba avy amin’ ny asa intsony; fa raha izany, dia tsy fahasoavana intsony ny fahasoavana.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Ahoana ary? Izay notadiavin’ ny Isiraely dia tsy azony, fa ny voafidy ihany no nahazo izany, fa nohamafìna ny fon’ ny sisa;
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.”
araka ny voasoratra hoe: Andriamanitra efa nanome azy fanahy sondrian-tory sy maso tsy hahita, ary sofina tsy hahare, mandraka androany
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
Ary hoy Davida: Aoka ny latabany ho fandrika sy ho tonta Ary ho fahatafintohinana sy ho famaliana azy;
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
Aoka ny masony ho jamba tsy hahita, Ary aoka hamokoka mandrakariva izy.
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.
Dia hoy izaho: Sao dia tafintohina ho lavo anie ny Isiraely? Sanatria izany! fa ny fahatafintohinany no nahatonga famonjena ho an’ ny jentilisa mba hampialona azy.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Ary raha ny fahatafintohinany no tonga haren’ izao tontolo izao, ary ny nihenany no tonga haren’ ny jentilisa, mainka fa ny hafenoany.
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Fa ianareo jentilisa no itenenako. Koa satria Apostolin’ ny jentilisa aho, dia mankalaza ny fanompoako,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
raha mba misy hahazoako hampialona ireo mifanapa-tsinay amiko, mba hamonjeko ny sasany aminy.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Fa raha ny fanariana azy no fampihavanana izao tontolo izao, tsy ho fitsanganana amin’ ny maty ny fandraisana azy?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Ary koa, raha masìna ny santatra, dia masìna koa ny vongany; ary raha masìna ny fakany, dia masìna koa ny sampany.
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,
Fa raha notapahina ny sampany sasany, ary ianao izay tahaka ny hazo oliva maniry ho azy kosa no natsofoka teo aminy mba niombona ny fakan’ ny menaky ny hazo oliva
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.
dia aza mirehareha amin’ ny sampany; fa raha mirehareha ianao, tsy ianao no mitondra ny fakany, fa ny fakany no mitondra anao.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Ary ianao dia hanao hoe: Notapahina ny sampany sasany hanatsofohana ahy.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
Marina ihany izany; ny tsi-finoany no nanapahana azy, ary ny finoanao kosa no itoeranao. Aza miavonavona, fa matahora;
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
fa raha ny tena sampana aza tsy navelan’ Andriamanitra, dia tsy havelany koa ianao.
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.
Koa indro ny fahamoram-panahin’ Andriamanitra sy ny fahasaro-pony: amin’ izay lavo dia fahasaro-po; fa aminao kosa dia fahamoram-panahin’ Andriamanitra, raha maharitra ao amin’ ny fahamoram-panahiny ianao; fa raha tsy izany, dia hotapahina koa ianao.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Ary ireny kosa, raha tsy mikikitra eo amin’ ny tsi-finoana, dia hatsofoka ihany; fa azon’ Andriamanitra atsofoka indray izy.
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?
Fa raha notapahina tamin’ ny hazo oliva naniry ho azy ianao ka natsofoka tamin’ ny hazo oliva tsara, nefa tsy tena sampany, mainka fa izay tena sampany no hatsofoka amin’ ny hazo oliva nanapahana azy.
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,
Fa tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo izany zava-miafina izany, ry rahalahy (fandrao mihevitra ny tenanareo ho hendry ianareo), fa efa misy fahamafiam-po manjo ny Isiraely sasany mandra-piditry ny hafenoan’ ny jentilisa;
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.
ary amin’ izany dia hovonjena avokoa ny Isiraely rehetra, ― araka ny voasoratra hoe: Hivoaka avy any Ziona ny Mpanafaka, Ary hampiala ny haratsiam-panahy amin’ i Jakoba Izy;
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
Ary izao no fanekeko aminy, raha manaisotra ny fahotany Aho.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Raha ny amin’ ny filazantsara dia fahavalo izy noho ny aminareo; fa raha ny amin’ ny fifidianana kosa dia malala izy noho ny amin’ ny razana.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Fa ny fanomezam-pahasoavana sy ny fiantsoan’ Andriamanitra dia tsy misy hanenenany.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Fa tahaka anareo tsy nanaiky an’ Andriamanitra fahiny, nefa ankehitriny ny tsi-faneken’ ireny no nahazoanareo famindram-po,
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
dia toy izany kosa ankehitriny, tsy nanaiky ireny, mba hahazoany famindram-po ankehitriny noho ny famindram-po azonareo.
Fa Andriamanitra nanidy azy rehetra tamin’ ny tsi-fanekena, mba hamindrany fo amin’ izy rehetra. (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!
Endrey ny halalin’ ny haren’ Andriamanitra sy ny fahendreny ary ny fahalalany! ny fitsarany tsy hita lany, ary ny lalany tsy azo fantarina!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
Fa iza no nahalala ny sain’ i Jehovah? ary iza no mpanolo-tsaina Azy?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
Na iza no nanome Azy aloha hamaliana azy indray?
