Romans 11
1 But then I ask, “Has God rejected his people?” Of course not! I'm an Israelite myself, from the tribe of Benjamin.
ARI, iet me i men inda: Kot kalikalar sapwilim a kan? O so! Pwe ngai pil kisan men Israel, o kadaudok en Apraam, o kainok en Peniamin.
2 God has not rejected his chosen people. Don't you recall what Scripture says about Elijah? How he complained about Israel to God, saying,
Kot sota kalikalar sapwilim a kan, me a kotin piladar mas o. De komail sota asa, da me kisin likau masanier duen Elias ni a kadipa men Israel mon Kot masani:
3 “Lord they've killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I'm the only one left, and they're trying to kill me too!”
Maing, irail kamelar sapwilim ar saukop akan, o karongk pasang sapwilim ar pei saraui kan, a ngai ta me lua, a irail pil rapakin ia, pwen kame ia la.
4 How did God answer him? “I still have seven thousand left who have not worshiped Baal.”
A da me Kot kotin sapengki i? Ngai me kanikidi ong ia ol isikid me so kelepuki ong Paal.
5 Today it's just the same: there are still some faithful people left, chosen by God's grace.
Nan iduen ansau wet: Luan me piladar akan mia pweki mak en Kot.
6 And since it's through grace, then clearly it's not based on what people do, otherwise grace wouldn't be grace!
A ma pweki mak, nan kaidin pweki wiawia kan; pwe ma iduen, mak solar pan mak.
7 So what do we conclude? That the people of Israel didn't achieve what they were striving for—only the chosen, while the rest became hard-hearted.
Ari, iaduen mepukat? Me men Israel raparapaki, re sota diaradar, a me piladar akan diaradar, a me tei kan kapitakailar.
8 As Scripture says, “God dulled their minds so their eyes could not see and their ears could not hear, to this very day.”
Duen a intingidier: Kot kotiki ong irail ngen en men mair, o por en mas akan, pwe ren der kilang wasa, o salong akan, pwe ren der rong wasa lao lel ran wet.
9 David adds, “May their feasts become a trap for them, a net that catches them, a temptation that brings punishment.
O Dawid masani: Arail tepel en wiala insar parail, o litip arail, o kapup parail, o karia parail.
10 May their eyes become blind so they cannot see, and may their backs always be bent low in dejection.”
Mas arail en rotorotala, pwe ren der kilang wasa, o irail en kakos pena kokolata.
11 So am I saying that they stumbled and consequently failed completely? Not at all! But as a result of their mistakes, salvation came to other nations, to “make them jealous.”
Ari, iet me i men inda: Irail dipikelekel pwen pupedi? O so! A pweki arail pupedi, en id kamaurela men liki kan, pwen kapopot kin irail do.
12 Now if even their failure benefits the world, and their loss profits the foreigners, how much more beneficial it would be if they were to completely fulfill what they were meant to be.
Ari, ma arail pupedi id pai ong sappa, a arail momalar id pai ong men liki kan, ia wan pai, ma irail karos pan sapaledo!
13 Now let me speak to you foreigners. Insofar as I'm a missionary to foreigners, I promote what I'm doing
Pwe men liki komail, me i men padaki ong, pwe ngai wanporon en men liki kan, i men kaindinda ai dodok.
14 that somehow I might make my people jealous and save some of them.
Pwe ma i kak ong, i pan kainong irail, me kit eu ni pali uduk pwe akai re’rail en dorela.
15 If the result of God's rejection of them is that the world becomes God's friends, the result of God's acceptance of them would be like the dead coming back to life!
Pwe ma arail kalikilar id kalamalam maula sappa, arail kasapaledo so pan kamaurela sang ren me melar akan?
16 If the first part of the bread dough given as an offering is holy, then so is all the rest; if the roots of a tree are holy, then so are the branches.
A ma kalap me saraui, plaua amas pil pan saraui; o ma kalaua me saraui, ra kan pil pan dueta;
17 Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and you—a wild olive shoot—have been grafted in, and have shared with them the benefit of nourishment from the olive tree's roots,
A ma ra kai tapengok sang, a koe ni om wos mal id peus iong, ap iang nim pil en tuka o iang maurki kalaua,
18 then you shouldn't look down on the other branches. If you're tempted to boast, remember it's not you who are supporting the roots, but the roots that are supporting you.
Koe ap der suaiki ong ra kan! A ma koe suaiki ong irail, kaidin koe me kin wa kalaua, a kalaua kin wa uk.
19 You could make the claim, “Branches were broken off so I could be grafted in.”
Koe ap pan indada: Ra kan tapengok wei sang, pwe i en id peus ong.
20 All well and good—but they were broken off because of their failure to trust in God, and you stay there because you trust in God. So don't think highly of yourselves, but be respectful,
Me pung; soposon, me re tapengok kilar, a poson, me koe maur kila, koe der aklapalap a masak!
21 because if God didn't spare the original branches, he won't spare you either.
Pwe ma Kot kotin muei sang udan ra kan, kalaka, pwe ele a pil pan muei sang uk!
22 You should recognize both God's kindness and toughness—he was tough on the fallen, but God is kind to you so long as you trust in his kindness—otherwise you'll be removed too.
Ari, kilang kalangan o ongiong en Kot; ongiong ong irail, me salongalar, a kalangan ong uk, ma koe pan dadaurata a kalangan, a ma so, koe pil pan tapengok sang.
23 If they no longer refuse to trust in God, they can be grafted in as well, for God is able to graft them back in again.
A pil irail, ma irail sota pan mimieta ni arail soposon, re ap pan peus sapal, pwe Kot kotin kak ong kapure irail do.
24 If you could be cut from a wild olive tree, and then be grafted artificially onto a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily they could be grafted back naturally to their own tree.
Pwe ma koe lepuk sang ni tuka olip mal, ap peus sapal ong tuka olip mau, a iaduen udan ra mau kan, re sota pan kak pur ong udan ar tuka?
25 I don't want you, my brothers and sisters to miss this previously-hidden truth, for otherwise you could become conceited. The people of Israel have become hard-hearted in part, until the process of the foreigners coming in is complete.
Ri ai kan, i men, komail en lelapok ki kaponepon wet, pwe komail de aklolekong, duen apali en Israel me kapitakailar, lao lel ansaun irail me pilipildar ren men liki kan pwarador.
26 This is how all Israel will be saved. As Scripture says, “The Savior will come from Zion, and he will turn Jacob away from his opposition to God.
Men Israel karos ap pan maureda, duen a intingidier: Amen pan kotido sang Sion, me pan kawela karos me doo sang Kot akan ren Iakop.
27 My promise to them is that I'll take away their sins.”
Pwe iet ai inau ong irail, i lao lapwa sang irail dip arail akan.
28 Though they are enemies of the good news—and this is to your benefit—they are still the chosen people, and loved because of their forefathers.
Iran rongamau irail me imwintiti pweki komail, a iran lipilipil irail me kompokepa kan pweki sam akan.
29 God's gifts and his calling can't be withdrawn.
Pwe Kot sota kin kalukila a pai en mak akan de me a kotin piladar.
30 At one time you disobeyed God, but now God has shown you mercy as a result of their disobedience.
O duen komail, me pil sota poson Kot mas o, a met komail aleer mak, pweki arail soposon.
31 In just the same way that they're now disobedient as you were, they will also be shown mercy like you received.
Iduen irail me sota poson mak, me komail diaradar, iei me re pil sota diaradar mak en Kot.
32 For God treated everyone as prisoners because of their disobedience so that he could be merciful to everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
Pwe Kot me kotin kapata pena irail karos ni soposon, pwen mak pena ong karos. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh how deep are God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge! How incredible his decisions, how unimaginable his methods!
O meid laud erpit en Kot o a kotin mangi meakaros, sota me kak weweki a kadeik kan, de pameda al en a wiawia kan!
34 Who can know God's thoughts? Who can give him advice?
Pwe is me asaer kupur en Kaun o, de is me padaki ong i meakot?
35 Who has ever given anything to God that God would be obliged to repay?
De is me ki ong i meakot, pwen depuk ong i?
