Romans 11
1 I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
Afei mibisa se, Onyankopɔn atow ne man akyene ana? Dabi da. Mʼankasa meyɛ Israelni na meyɛ Abraham aseni a mifi Benyamin abusua mu.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
Onyankopɔn ampo ne nkurɔfo a oyii wɔn mfiase no. Munim nea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka fa Elia ho sɛnea ɔkasa tiaa Israelfo wɔ Onyankopɔn anim se,
3 Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
“Awurade, wɔakum wʼadiyifo na wɔadwiriw wʼafɔremuka, na me nko na maka a wɔpɛ sɛ wokum me.”
4 But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
Mmuae bɛn na Onyankopɔn de maa no? Onyankopɔn kae se, “Mewɔ nnipa mpem ason a wɔnsom ɔbosom Baal.”
5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
Saa ara nso na ɛte nnɛ. Nnipa kakraa bi wɔ hɔ a Onyankopɔn nam ne dom so ayi wɔn.
6 And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
Yi a wayi wɔn no gyina nʼadom so na ɛnyɛ wɔn nnwuma so. Na sɛ Onyankopɔn yi a oyi nnipa no gyina wɔn nnwuma so a, ɛno de na adom no nyɛ adom turodoo.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
Ɛno de na ɛne dɛn? Nea Israelfo tiw akyi hwehwɛe no, wɔn nsa anka, na mmom kakraa a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no de, wɔn nsa kae. Wɔn a wɔaka no pirim wɔn koma
8 According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Onyankopɔn maa wɔn honhom a ɛyɛ bɔtee, ani a ɛmma wonhu ade aso a ɛmma wɔnte asɛm, de besi nnɛ.”
9 And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
Na Dawid ka se, “Ma wɔn didipon a esi wɔn anim nyi wɔn sɛ afiri na wɔnhwehwe ase na wɔntwe wɔn aso!
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
Ma wɔn ani so nyɛ wɔn kusuu na wɔanhu ade; na wɔn akyi nkuntun afebɔɔ.”
11 I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
Afei mibisa se, bere a Yudafo yɛɛ bɔne no, ɛde wɔn kɔɔ ɔsɛe mu ana? Dabi! Amanamanmufo nam Yudafo no bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no so nyaa nkwagye. Eyi maa Yudafo no twee wɔn ho ninkunu.
12 Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
Yudafo no bɔne a wɔyɛɛ no de nnepa brɛɛ wiase na wɔn honhom mu hia a wodii no nso de ahonya brɛɛ amanamanmufo. Na ɛba sɛ Yudafo no mu bebree bɛka wɔn ho a nhyira mmoroso bɛn na ɛremma?
13 For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
Afei merekasa akyerɛ mo amanamanmufo: Esiane sɛ meyɛ amanamanmufo ɔsomafo nti, mehoahoa me ho wɔ adwuma a wɔde ahyɛ me nsa no ho.
14 To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
Sɛ ebetumi a, mɛma wɔn a wɔyɛ me nuanom Yudafo no kɔn adɔ nea mo amanamanmufo nsa aka yi bi, na wɔnam so agye wɔn mu bi nkwa.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
Na sɛ wɔn po a wɔpoo wɔn no ama Onyankopɔn ne wiasefo aka abɔ mu a, ɛno de sɛ Onyankopɔn twe wɔn bata ne ho a ɛbɛyɛ dɛn? Ɛbɛyɛ nkwa ama awufo.
16 For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
Sɛ wɔde brodo sin ma Onyankopɔn a, ɛno de, na ne mu nyinaa yɛ ne dea. Saa ara nso na sɛ dua no ntin yɛ kronkron a, ne mman no nyinaa nso yɛ kronkron.
17 And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
Wɔapenpan ngodua a wɔahyɛ da adua no mman no bi agu, na wɔde ngodua a wɔanhyɛ da annua no mman abɛhyɛ nʼanan mu. Mo amanamanmufo no te sɛ ngodua a wɔanhyɛ da annua, nanso afei de, mo ne Yudafo no nyinaa nya Onyankopɔn dom a wɔde adom wɔn no pɛ.
18 Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
Nanso monhwɛ yiye na moanhoahoa mo ho sɛ wɔde mo asi mman a wɔapenpan no anan mu. Monkae sɛ moyɛ mman kɛkɛ, na monyɛ ntin.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
Na mobɛka se, “Eye, wobubuu mman no sɛ wɔmfa me nsi wɔn anan mu.”
20 Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
Yiw, nanso monkae sɛ wɔpenpan saa mman a ɛyɛ Yudafo no, efisɛ wɔannye Onyankopɔn anni, na mugye di nti na mowɔ hɔ. Mommma mo ho so, na mmom munsuro nea ebetumi asi.
21 For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
Na sɛ Onyankopɔn amfa Yudafo a wɔte sɛ ngodua pa mman no bɔne ankyɛ wɔn a, mususuw sɛ ɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo ana?
22 Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
Enti monhwɛ Onyankopɔn ayamye ne ne denyɛ. Ɔyɛ den wɔ wɔn a wɔyɛɛ asoɔden no so, nanso ne yam ye ma mo wɔ bere a mode mo ho ato nʼayamye so. Na sɛ moamfa mo ho anto no so a, saa ara na wɔbɛpenpan mo.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
Na sɛ Yudafo no gye di bio a, Onyankopɔn bɛsan de wɔn ayɛ dua no mman bio. Obetumi ayɛ saa.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
Na sɛ Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔde mo a moyɛ wuram ngodua mman bɛfam dua papa a ɔno ankasa adua ho de, anka ɛmfa ɔkwan mu a, ɛno de, ɔbɛpɛ no mmoroso sɛ ɔde Yudafo no bɛfam dua a ɛyɛ wɔn ankasa de no ho.
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
Me nuanom, ahintasɛm bi wɔ hɔ a mepɛ sɛ mote ase, sɛnea monnyɛ ahantan na monhoahoa mo ho. Yudafo no mu bi apirim wɔn koma, nanso sɛ amanamanmufo no nyinaa dan ba Kristo nkyɛn a ɛto betwa.
26 And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
Enti Israelfo nyinaa benya nkwagye. Mokae nea adiyifo no kaa wɔ eyi ho? “Agyenkwa no befi Sion aba, na obeyi amumɔyɛsɛm nyinaa afi Yakob asefo mu.
27 And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
Na medi apam a mene wɔn ayɛ no so na mapepa wɔn bɔne.”
28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
Yudafo no bebree ayɛ Asɛmpa no atamfo. Na mo, amanamanmufo anya so mfaso, efisɛ Onyankopɔn de nʼakyɛde no ama mo. Nanso Yudafo yɛ ne man a wapaw wɔn ara, esiane bɔ a wahyɛ wɔn nenanom nti,
29 For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
efisɛ wɔrennan Onyankopɔn akyɛde ne ne frɛ no ani.
30 For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
Na mo amanamanmufo de, bere a atwam no mu, moyɛɛ asoɔden tiaa Onyankopɔn, nanso Yudafo no poo nʼahummɔbɔ no nti Onyankopɔn huu mo mmɔbɔ mmom.
31 Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
Saa ara nso na esiane adom a moanya no nti, mprempren, Yudafo no nso ayɛ asoɔden atia Onyankopɔn. Nanso nna bi akyi no wɔn nso benya Onyankopɔn adom no.
Onyankopɔn aka nnipa nyinaa ahyɛ wɔn asoɔden ase sɛnea ɔbɛyɛ adom ama obiara. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
Ao Onyankopɔn ahonya ne nyansa ne nimdeɛ bun a mu dɔ! Hena na obetumi ahu nʼatemmu mu pɛɛpɛe, na wahu nea nʼakwan nenam.
34 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?
“Hena na onim Awurade adwene anaasɛ hena na ɔyɛ ne fotufo?”
35 Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
“Hena na wama Onyankopɔn biribi kan a ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn tua no so ka?”
