Romans 11

1I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! 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.

2God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

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 Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life'?

κυριε, τους προφητας σου απεκτειναν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν, καγω υπελειφθην μονος, και ζητουσιν την ψυχην μου.

4But what does the divine response say to him? 'I have reserved 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.

5Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

ουτως ουν και εν τω νυν καιρω λειμμα κατ εκλογην χαριτος γεγονεν.

6And 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.

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.

7What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

τι ουν; ο επιζητει ισραηλ, τουτο ουκ επετυχεν, η δε εκλογη επετυχεν· οι δε λοιποι επωρωθησαν,

8Just as it is written: 'God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.'

καθως γεγραπται· εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος πνευμα κατανυξεως, οφθαλμους του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν, εως της σημερον ημερας.

9And David says: 'Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

και δαυιδ λεγει· γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εις παγιδα και εις θηραν και εις σκανδαλον και εις ανταποδομα αυτοις·

10Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.'

σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν, και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντος συγκαμψον.

11I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

λεγω ουν, μη επταισαν ινα πεσωσιν; μη γενοιτο· αλλα τω αυτων παραπτωματι η σωτηρια τοις εθνεσιν, εις το παραζηλωσαι αυτους.

12Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτος κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτος εθνων, ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων;

13For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

υμιν γαρ λεγω τοις εθνεσιν. εφ οσον μεν ειμι εγω εθνων αποστολος, την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω,

14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.

ει πως παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινας εξ αυτων.

15For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου, τις η προσληψις ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων;

16For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; 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.

17And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and 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,

18do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων· ει δε κατακαυχασαι, ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεις, αλλ η ριζα σε.

19You will say then, 'Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.'

ερεις ουν· εξεκλασθησαν [οι] κλαδοι, ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω.

20Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

καλως· τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν, συ δε τη πιστει εστηκας. μη υψηλοφρονει, αλλα φοβου·

21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

ει γαρ ο θεος των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο, μη πως ουδε σου φεισεται.

22Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will 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.

23And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

και εκεινοι δε, εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια, εγκεντρισθησονται· δυνατος γαρ ο θεος εστιν παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτους.

24For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are 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;

25For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

ου γαρ θελω υμας αγνοειν, αδελφοι, το μυστηριον τουτο, ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοις φρονιμοι, οτι πωρωσις απο μερους τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρι ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη,

26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

και ουτως πας ισραηλ σωθησεται, καθως γεγραπται· ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενος και αποστρεψει ασεβειας απο ιακωβ·

27For this is My covenant with them,When I take away their sins.'

και αυτη αυτοις η παρ εμου διαθηκη, οταν αφελωμαι τας αμαρτιας αυτων.

28Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον εχθροι δι υμας, κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τους πατερας·

29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησις του θεου.

30For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

ωσπερ γαρ και υμεις ποτε ηπειθησατε τω θεω, νυν δε ηλεηθητε τη τουτων απειθεια,

31even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

ουτως και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν, τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν·

32For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεος τους παντας εις απειθειαν, ινα τους παντας ελεηση.

33Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

ω βαθος πλουτου και σοφιας και γνωσεως θεου! ως ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου!

34'For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?'

τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου; η τις συμβουλος αυτου εγενετο;

35'Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?'

η τις προεδωκεν αυτω, και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω;

36For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

οτι εξ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα. αυτω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας· αμην.
