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.
IshvareNa svIkIyalokA apasAritA ahaM kim IdR^ishaM vAkyaM bravImi? tanna bhavatu yato. ahamapi binyAmInagotrIya ibrAhImavaMshIya isrAyelIyaloko. asmi|
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:
IshvareNa pUrvvaM ye pradR^iShTAste svakIyalokA apasAritA iti nahi| aparam eliyopAkhyAne shAstre yallikhitam Aste tad yUyaM kiM na jAnItha?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
he parameshvara lokAstvadIyAH sarvvA yaj navedIrabha njan tathA tava bhaviShyadvAdinaH sarvvAn aghnan kevala eko. aham avashiShTa Ase te mamApi prANAn nAshayituM cheShTanate, etAM kathAm isrAyelIyalokAnAM viruddham eliya IshvarAya nivedayAmAsa|
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
tatastaM pratIshvarasyottaraM kiM jAtaM? bAlnAmno devasya sAkShAt yai rjAnUni na pAtitAni tAdR^ishAH sapta sahasrANi lokA avasheShitA mayA|
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
tadvad etasmin varttamAnakAle. api anugraheNAbhiruchitAsteShAm avashiShTAH katipayA lokAH santi|
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.
ataeva tad yadyanugraheNa bhavati tarhi kriyayA na bhavati no ched anugraho. ananugraha eva, yadi vA kriyayA bhavati tarhyanugraheNa na bhavati no chet kriyA kriyaiva na bhavati|
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
tarhi kiM? isrAyelIyalokA yad amR^igayanta tanna prApuH| kintvabhiruchitalokAstat prApustadanye sarvva andhIbhUtAH|
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.”
yathA likhitam Aste, ghoranidrAlutAbhAvaM dR^iShTihIne cha lochane| karNau shrutivihInau cha pradadau tebhya IshvaraH||
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
etesmin dAyUdapi likhitavAn yathA, ato bhuktyAsanaM teShAm unmAthavad bhaviShyati| vA vaMshayantravad bAdhA daNDavad vA bhaviShyati||
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
bhaviShyanti tathAndhAste netraiH pashyanti no yathA| vepathuH kaTideshasya teShAM nityaM bhaviShyati||
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.
patanArthaM te skhalitavanta iti vAchaM kimahaM vadAmi? tanna bhavatu kintu tAn udyoginaH karttuM teShAM patanAd itaradeshIyalokaiH paritrANaM prAptaM|
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
teShAM patanaM yadi jagato lokAnAM lAbhajanakam abhavat teShAM hrAso. api yadi bhinnadeshinAM lAbhajanako. abhavat tarhi teShAM vR^iddhiH kati lAbhajanikA bhaviShyati?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
ato he anyadeshino yuShmAn sambodhya kathayAmi nijAnAM j nAtibandhUnAM manaHsUdyogaM janayan teShAM madhye kiyatAM lokAnAM yathA paritrANaM sAdhayAmi
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
tannimittam anyadeshinAM nikaTe preritaH san ahaM svapadasya mahimAnaM prakAshayAmi|
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
teShAM nigraheNa yadIshvareNa saha jagato janAnAM melanaM jAtaM tarhi teShAm anugR^ihItatvaM mR^itadehe yathA jIvanalAbhastadvat kiM na bhaviShyati?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
aparaM prathamajAtaM phalaM yadi pavitraM bhavati tarhi sarvvameva phalaM pavitraM bhaviShyati; tathA mUlaM yadi pavitraM bhavati tarhi shAkhA api tathaiva bhaviShyanti|
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,
kiyatInAM shAkhAnAM Chedane kR^ite tvaM vanyajitavR^ikShasya shAkhA bhUtvA yadi tachChAkhAnAM sthAne ropitA sati jitavR^ikShIyamUlasya rasaM bhuMkShe,
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.
tarhi tAsAM bhinnashAkhAnAM viruddhaM mAM garvvIH; yadi garvvasi tarhi tvaM mUlaM yanna dhArayasi kintu mUlaM tvAM dhArayatIti saMsmara|
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
apara ncha yadi vadasi mAM ropayituM tAH shAkhA vibhannA abhavan;
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
bhadram, apratyayakAraNAt te vibhinnA jAtAstathA vishvAsakAraNAt tvaM ropito jAtastasmAd aha NkAram akR^itvA sasAdhvaso bhava|
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
yata Ishvaro yadi svAbhAvikIH shAkhA na rakShati tarhi sAvadhAno bhava chet tvAmapi na sthApayati|
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.
ityatreshvarasya yAdR^ishI kR^ipA tAdR^ishaM bhayAnakatvamapi tvayA dR^ishyatAM; ye patitAstAn prati tasya bhayAnakatvaM dR^ishyatAM, tva ncha yadi tatkR^ipAshritastiShThasi tarhi tvAM prati kR^ipA drakShyate; no chet tvamapi tadvat Chinno bhaviShyasi|
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
apara ncha te yadyapratyaye na tiShThanti tarhi punarapi ropayiShyante yasmAt tAn punarapi ropayitum ishvarasya shaktirAste|
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?
vanyajitavR^ikShasya shAkhA san tvaM yadi tatashChinno rItivyatyayenottamajitavR^ikShe ropito. abhavastarhi tasya vR^ikShasya svIyA yAH shAkhAstAH kiM punaH svavR^ikShe saMlagituM na shaknuvanti?
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,
he bhrAtaro yuShmAkam AtmAbhimAno yanna jAyate tadarthaM mamedR^ishI vA nChA bhavati yUyaM etannigUDhatattvam ajAnanto yanna tiShThatha; vastuto yAvatkAlaM sampUrNarUpeNa bhinnadeshinAM saMgraho na bhaviShyati tAvatkAlam aMshatvena isrAyelIyalokAnAm andhatA sthAsyati;
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.
pashchAt te sarvve paritrAsyante; etAdR^ishaM likhitamapyAste, AgamiShyati sIyonAd eko yastrANadAyakaH| adharmmaM yAkubo vaMshAt sa tu dUrIkariShyati|
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
tathA dUrIkariShyAmi teShAM pApAnyahaM yadA| tadA taireva sArddhaM me niyamo. ayaM bhaviShyati|
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
susaMvAdAt te yuShmAkaM vipakShA abhavan kintvabhiruchitatvAt te pitR^ilokAnAM kR^ite priyapAtrANi bhavanti|
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
yata Ishvarasya dAnAd AhvAnA ncha pashchAttApo na bhavati|
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
ataeva pUrvvam Ishvare. avishvAsinaH santo. api yUyaM yadvat samprati teShAm avishvAsakAraNAd Ishvarasya kR^ipApAtrANi jAtAstadvad
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
idAnIM te. avishvAsinaH santi kintu yuShmAbhi rlabdhakR^ipAkAraNAt tairapi kR^ipA lapsyate|
IshvaraH sarvvAn prati kR^ipAM prakAshayituM sarvvAn avishvAsitvena gaNayati| (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!
aho Ishvarasya j nAnabuddhirUpayo rdhanayoH kIdR^ik prAchuryyaM| tasya rAjashAsanasya tattvaM kIdR^ig aprApyaM| tasya mArgAshcha kIdR^ig anupalakShyAH|
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
parameshvarasya sa NkalpaM ko j nAtavAn? tasya mantrI vA ko. abhavat?
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
ko vA tasyopakArI bhR^itvA tatkR^ite tena pratyupakarttavyaH?
