< Romans 11 >

1 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed 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 did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth 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 thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and 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 what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left 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 then 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 But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
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 seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
τι ουν ο επιζητει ισραηλ τουτου 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, unto 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 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
και δαβιδ 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, And bow thou down their back always.
σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων διαπαντος συγκαμψον
11 I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto 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 fulness?
ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτος κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτος εθνων ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων
13 But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of 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 [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
ει πως παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινας εξ αυτων
15 For if the casting away of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου τις η προσληψις ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων
16 And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and 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 thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness 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 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων ει δε κατακαυχασαι ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεις αλλ η ριζα σε
19 Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
ερεις ουν εξεκλασθησαν οι κλαδοι ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω
20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
καλως τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν συ δε τη πιστει εστηκας μη υψηλοφρονει αλλα φοβου
21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
ει γαρ ο θεος των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο μηπως ουδε σου φεισηται
22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt 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 And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
και εκεινοι δε εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια εγκεντρισθησονται δυνατος γαρ εστιν ο θεος παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτους
24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall 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 would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
ου γαρ θελω υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι το μυστηριον τουτο ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοις φρονιμοι οτι πωρωσις απο μερους τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρις ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη
26 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
και ουτως πας ισραηλ σωθησεται καθως γεγραπται ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενος και αποστρεψει ασεβειας απο ιακωβ
27 And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
και αυτη αυτοις η παρ εμου διαθηκη οταν αφελωμαι τας αμαρτιας αυτων
28 As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching 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 not repented of.
αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησις του θεου
30 For as ye 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 have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.
ουτως και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν
32 For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεος τους παντας εις απειθειαν ινα τους παντας ελεηση (eleēsē g1653)
33 O 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 hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου η τις συμβουλος αυτου εγενετο
35 or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
η τις προεδωκεν αυτω και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω
36 For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him [be] the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
οτι εξ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα αυτω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας αμην (aiōn g165)
