Romans 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.	1 Λεγω λοιπον, Μηπως απερριψεν ο Θεος τον λαον αυτου; Μη γενοιτο? διοτι και εγω Ισραηλιτης ειμαι, εκ σπερματος Αβρααμ, εκ φυλης Βενιαμιν.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?	2 Δεν απερριψεν ο Θεος τον λαον αυτου, τον οποιον προεγνωρισεν. Η δεν εξευρετε τι λεγει η γραφη περι του Ηλια; πως ομιλει προς τον Θεον κατα του Ισραηλ, λεγων?
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life."	3 Κυριε, τους προφητας σου εθανατωσαν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν, και εγω εναπελειφθην μονος, και ζητουσι την ψυχην μου.
4 But what is God's response to him? "I have left for myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."	4 Αλλα τι αποκρινεται προς αυτον ο Θεος; Αφηκα εις εμαυτον επτα χιλιαδας ανδρων, οιτινες δεν εκλιναν γονυ εις τον Βααλ.
5 So also at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.	5 Ουτω λοιπον και επι του παροντος καιρου απεμεινε καταλοιπον τι κατ' εκλογην χαριτος.
6 But if by grace, it is no longer because of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.	6 Εαν δε κατα χαριν, δεν ειναι πλεον εξ εργων? επειδη τοτε η χαρις δεν γινεται πλεον χαρις. Εαν δε εξ εργων, δεν ειναι πλεον χαρις? επειδη το εργον δεν ειναι πλεον εργον.
7 What then? What Israel was seeking it did not attain, but the elect attained it; the rest were hardened,	7 Τι λοιπον; Ο Ισραηλ δεν επετυχεν εκεινο το οποιον ζητει, οι εκλεκτοι ομως επετυχον? οι δε λοιποι ετυφλωθησαν,
8 as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."	8 καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Εδωκεν εις αυτους ο Θεος πνευμα νυσταγμου, οφθαλμους δια να μη βλεπωσι και ωτα δια να μη ακουωσιν, εως της σημερον ημερας.
9 And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;	9 Και ο Δαβιδ λεγει? Ας γεινη η τραπεζα αυτων εις παγιδα και εις βροχον και εις σκανδαλον και εις ανταποδομα εις αυτους?
10 let their eyes grow dim so that they may not see, and keep their backs bent forever."	10 ας σκοτισθωσιν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων δια να μη βλεπωσι, και τον νωτον αυτων διαπαντος κυρτωσον.
11 Hence I ask, did they stumble so as to fall? Of course not! But through their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make them jealous.	11 Λεγω λοιπον, Μηπως επταισαν δια να πεσωσι; Μη γενοιτο? αλλα δια της πτωσεως αυτων εγεινεν η σωτηρια εις τα εθνη, δια να κινηση αυτους εις ζηλοτυπιαν.
12 Now if their transgression is enrichment for the world, and if their diminished number is enrichment for the Gentiles, how much more their full number.	12 Και εαν η πτωσις αυτων ηναι πλουτος του κοσμου και ελαττωσις αυτων πλουτος των εθνων, ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων;
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry	13 Διοτι προς εσας τα εθνη λεγω, Εφ' οσον μεν ειμαι εγω αποστολος των εθνων, την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω,
14 in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them.	14 ισως κινησω εις ζηλοτυπιαν αυτους, οιτινες ειναι σαρξ μου και σωσω τινας εξ αυτων.
15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?	15 Διοτι εαν η αποβολη αυτων ηναι φιλιωσις του κοσμου, τι θελει εισθαι η προσληψις αυτων ειμη ζωη εκ νεκρων;
16 If the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.	16 Και εαν η ζυμη ηναι αγια, ειναι και το φυραμα? και εαν η ριζα ηναι αγια, ειναι και οι κλαδοι.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,	17 Αλλ' εαν τινες των κλαδων απεκοπησαν, συ δε αγριελαια ουσα ενεκεντρισθης μεταξυ αυτων και εγεινες συγκοινωνος της ριζης και της παχυτητος της ελαιας,
18 do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you.	18 μη κατακαυχασαι εναντιον των κλαδων? εαν δε κατακαυχασαι, συ δεν βασταζεις την ριζαν, αλλ' η ριζα σε.
19 Indeed you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."	19 Θελεις ειπει λοιπον? Απεκοπησαν οι κλαδοι, δια να εγκεντρισθω εγω.
20 That is so. They were broken off because of unbelief, but you are there because of faith. So do not become haughty, but stand in awe.	20 Καλως? δια την απιστιαν απεκοπησαν, συ δε δια της πιστεως ιστασαι? μη υψηλοφρονει, αλλα φοβου?
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, (perhaps) he will not spare you either.	21 διοτι εαν ο Θεος δεν εφεισθη τους φυσικους κλαδους, προσεχε μηπως δεν φεισθη μηδε σε.
22 See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you remain in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.	22 Ιδε λοιπον την χρηστοτητα και την αυστηροτητα του Θεου, επι μεν τους πεσοντας την αυστηροτητα, επι σε δε την χρηστοτητα, εαν επιμεινης εις την χρηστοτητα? διοτι αλλως και συ θελεις αποκοπη.
23 And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.	23 Και εκεινοι δε, εαν δεν επιμεινωσιν εις την απιστιαν, θελουσιν εγκεντρισθη? διοτι δυνατος ειναι ο Θεος παλιν να εγκεντριση αυτους.
24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated one, how much more will they who belong to it by nature be grafted back into their own olive tree.	24 Επειδη εαν συ απεκοπης απο της φυσικης αγριελαιας και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθης εις καλλιελαιαν, ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι φυσικοι θελουσιν εγκεντρισθη εις την ιδιαν αυτων ελαιαν.
25 I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not become wise (in) your own estimation: a hardening has come upon Israel in part, until the full number of the Gentiles comes in,	25 Διοτι δεν θελω να αγνοητε, αδελφοι, το μυστηριον τουτο, δια να μη υψηλοφρονητε, οτι τυφλωσις κατα μερος εγεινεν εις τον Ισραηλ, εωσου εισελθη το πληρωμα των εθνων,
26 and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come out of Zion, he will turn away godlessness from Jacob;	26 και ουτω πας ο Ισραηλ θελει σωθη, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Θελει ελθει εκ Σιων ο λυτρωτης και θελει αποστρεψει τας ασεβειας απο του Ιακωβ?
27 and this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."	27 Και αυτη ειναι η παρ' εμου διαθηκη προς αυτους, Οταν αφαιρεσω τας αμαρτιας αυτων.
28 In respect to the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but in respect to election, they are beloved because of the patriarchs.	28 Κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον, ειναι εχθροι δια σας, κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τους πατερας.
29 For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.	29 Διοτι ανεπιδεκτα μεταμελειας ειναι τα χαρισματα και η προσκλησις του Θεου.
30 Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,	30 Διοτι καθως και σεις ηπειθησατε ποτε εις τον Θεον, τωρα ομως ηλεηθητε εν τη απειθεια τουτων,
31 so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may (now) receive mercy.	31 ουτω και ουτοι ηπειθησαν τωρα εν τω υμετερω ελεει, δια να ελεηθωσι και αυτοι?
32 For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.	32 διοτι ο Θεος συνεκλεισε τους παντας εις την απειθειαν, δια να ελεηση τους παντας.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!	33 Ω βαθος πλουτου και σοφιας και γνωσεως Θεου. Ποσον ανεξερευνητοι ειναι αι κρισεις αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου.
34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?"	34 Διοτι τις εγνωρισε τον νουν του Κυριου; η τις εγεινε συμβουλος αυτου;
35 "Or who has given him anything that he may be repaid?"	35 η τις εδωκε τι πρωτος εις αυτον, δια να γεινη εις αυτον ανταποδοσις;
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.	36 Επειδη εξ αυτου και δι' αυτου και εις αυτον ειναι τα παντα. Αυτω, η δοξα εις τους αιωνας. Αμην.
