1 DIGO pues: ¿Ha desechado Dios á su pueblo? En ninguna manera. Porque también yo soy Israelita, de la simiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamín.
1
I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 No ha desechado Dios á su pueblo, al cual antes conoció. ¿O no sabéis qué dice de Elías la Escritura? cómo hablando con Dios contra Israel dice:
2
No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
3 Señor, á tus profetas han muerto, y tus altares han derruído; y yo he quedado solo, y procuran matarme.
3
“ LORD, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”
4 Mas ¿qué le dice la divina respuesta? He dejado para mí siete mil hombres, que no han doblado la rodilla delante de Baal.
4
And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!”
5 Así también, aun en este tiempo han quedado reliquias por la elección de gracia.
5
It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel have remained faithful because of God’s grace—his undeserved kindness in choosing them.
6 Y si por gracia, luego no por las obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por las obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.
6
And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.
7 ¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la elección lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos;
7
So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened.
8 Como está escrito: Dióles Dios espíritu de remordimiento, ojos con que no vean, y oídos con que no oigan, hasta el día de hoy.
8
As the Scriptures say, “God has put them into a deep sleep. To this day he has shut their eyes so they do not see, and closed their ears so they do not hear.”
9 Y David dice: Séales vuelta su mesa en lazo, y en red, Y en tropezadero, y en paga:
9
Likewise, David said, “Let their bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get what they deserve.
10 Sus ojos sean obscurecidos para que no vean, Y agóbiales siempre el espinazo.
10
Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever.”
11 Digo pues: ¿Han tropezado para que cayesen? En ninguna manera; mas por el tropiezo de ellos vino la salud á los Gentiles, para que fuesen provocados á celos.
11
Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.
12 Y si la falta de ellos es la riqueza del mundo, y el menoscabo de ellos la riqueza de los Gentiles, ¿cuánto más el henchimiento de ellos?
12
Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.
13 Porque á vosotros hablo, Gentiles. Por cuanto pues, yo soy apóstol de los Gentiles, mi ministerio honro.
13
I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this,
14 Por si en alguna manera provocase á celos á mi carne, e hiciese salvos á algunos de ellos.
14
for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them.
15 Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos es la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué será el recibimiento de ellos, sino vida de los muertos?
15
For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead!
16 Y si el primer fruto es santo, también lo es el todo, y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.
16
And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
17 Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;
17
But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.
18 No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, sabe que no sustentas tú á la raíz, sino la raíz á ti.
18
But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
19 Pues las ramas, dirás, fueron quebradas para que yo fuese ingerido.
19
“Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.”
20 Bien: por su incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pie. No te ensoberbezcas, antes teme.
20
Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen.
21 Que si Dios no perdonó á las ramas naturales, á ti tampoco no perdone.
21
For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t spare you either.
22 Mira, pues, la bondad y la severidad de Dios: la severidad ciertamente en los que cayeron; mas la bondad para contigo, si permanecieres en la bondad; pues de otra manera tú también serás cortado.
22
Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.
23 Y aun ellos, si no permanecieren en incredulidad, serán ingeridos; que poderoso es Dios para volverlos á ingerir.
23
And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the power to graft them back into the tree.
24 Porque si tú eres cortado del natural acebuche, y contra natura fuiste ingerido en la buena oliva, ¿cuánto más éstos, que son las ramas naturales, serán ingeridos en su oliva?
24
You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.
25 Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis este misterio, para que no seáis acerca de vosotros mismos arrogantes: que el endurecimiento en parte ha acontecido en Israel, hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los Gentiles;
25
I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
26 Y luego todo Israel será salvo; como está escrito: Vendrá de Sión el Libertador, Que quitará de Jacob la impiedad;
26
And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
27 Y este es mi pacto con ellos, Cuando quitare su pecados.
27
And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”
28 Así que, cuanto al evangelio, son enemigos por causa de vosotros: mas cuanto á la elección, son muy amados por causa de los padres.
28
Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
29 Porque sin arrepentimiento son las mercedes y la vocación de Dios.
29
For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.
30 Porque como también vosotros en algún tiempo no creísteis á Dios, mas ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia por la incredulidad de ellos;
30
Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.
31 Así también éstos ahora no ha creído, para que, por la misericordia para con vosotros, ellos también alcancen misericordia.
31
Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy.
32 Porque Dios encerró á todos en incredulidad, para tener misericordia de todos.
32
For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
33 ¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría y de la ciencia de Dios! ¡Cuán incomprensibles son sus juicios, e inescrutables sus caminos!
33
Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
34 Porque ¿quién entendió la mente del Señor? ¿ó quién fué su consejero?
34
For who can know the LORD ’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?
35 ¿O quién le dió á él primero, para que le sea pagado?
35
And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?
36 Porque de él, y por él, y en él, son todas las cosas. A él sea gloria por siglos. Amén.
36
For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
