Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I ask then, Did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Yisra'elite, a descendant of Avraham, of the tribe of Binyamin.
1
I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
2 God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Eliyah? How he pleads with God against Yisra'el:
2
God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying,
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
3
`Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;'
4 But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Ba`al."
4
but what saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.'
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5
So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;
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.
6
and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.
7 What then? That which Yisra'el seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
7
What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,
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."
8
according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day,
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, A stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
9
and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."
10
let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Goyim, to provoke them to jealousy.
11
I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Goyim; how much more their fullness?
12
and if the fall of them [is] the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?
13 For I speak to you who are Goyim. Since then as I am an apostle to Goyim, I glorify my ministry;
13
For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14
if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
15
for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
16
and if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.
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 of the richness of the olive tree;
17
And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --
18 don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who bear the root, but the root you.
18
do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
19
Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;
20
by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;
21 for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
21
for if God the natural branches did not spare -- lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.
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.
22
Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.
23 They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23
And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;
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?
24
for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who [are] according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 For I don't desire, brothers, to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part has happened to Yisra'el, until the fullness of the Goyim has come in,
25
For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;
26 and so all Yisra'el will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Tziyon the Deliverer, And he will turn away ungodliness from Ya`akov.
26
and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,
27 This is my covenant to them, When I will take away their sins."
27
and this to them [is] the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.'
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
28
As regards, indeed, the good tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers;
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
29
for unrepented of [are] the gifts and the calling of God;
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
30
for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
31
so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;
32 For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
32
for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness.
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!
33
O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
34
for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?
35 "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?"
35
or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amein.
36
because of Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] the all things; to Him [is] the glory -- to the ages. Amen.
