¹I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

¹¶ Na, ko taku kupu tenei, Kua peia oti e te Atua tana iwi? Kahore rapea. No Iharaira ano hoki ahau, no te uri o Aperahama, no to Pineamine iwi.

²God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,

²Kahore hoki te Atua i pei i tana iwi i mohio ai i mua. Kahore oti koutou i matau ki te korero a te karaipiture i ta Iraia? i inoi ra hoki ia ki te Atua, i whakahe i a Iharaira, i mea,

³Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

³E te Ariki, kua patua e ratou au poropiti, kua whakahoroa au aata; ko ahau anake hoki kua mahue nei, a e whai ana ratou kia patua ahau.

⁴But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

⁴Heoi e pehea ana te whakahoki a te Atua ki a ia? E whitu mano tangata kua waiho e ahau maku, kahore nei i piko te ture ki a Paara.

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

⁵Waihoki i te wa nei ano, tera ano he toenga, he whiriwhiringa na te aroha noa.

⁶And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

⁶Ki te mea ia na te aroha noa, ehara i te mea na nga mahi: penei ehara te aroha noa i te aroha noa.

⁷What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

⁷Ha, he pehea ra? Ko ta Iharaira e rapu nei, kihai tenei i taea e ia; otira kua taea e te hunga whiriwhiri, ko era atu ia i whakapakeketia:

⁸(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

⁸Ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Kua hoatu ki a ratou e te Atua he wairua hiamoe, he kanohi e kore ai ratou e kite, he taringa e kore ai e rongo; a taea noatia tenei ra.

⁹And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

⁹E mea ana hoki a Rawiri, Kia whakatupu mahanga to ratou tepu, hei rore hoki, hei tutukitanga waewae, hei utu ano ki a ratou:

¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

¹⁰Kia whakapouritia o ratou kanohi, kia kaua ratou e kite, a kia whakapikoa tonutia iho e koe to ratou tuara.

¹¹I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

¹¹Na, ko taku kupu tenei, He tutuki ranei to ratou e hinga rawa ai? Kahore rapea: engari na to ratou hinga i puta ai te ora ki nga tauiwi, he mea kia hae ai ratou.

¹²Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

¹²Na, ki te mea hei taonga mo te ao to ratou hinganga, hei taonga ano mo nga Tauiwi to ratou whakaitinga: tera noa ake i to ratou whakanuinga?

¹³For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

¹³Ki a koutou, ki nga Tauiwi tenei kupu aku, I te mea he apotoro ahau ki nga Tauiwi, e whakanui ana ahau i taku mahi minita:

¹⁴If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

¹⁴Me kore e hae nga tangata o toku kikokiko, kia ora ai etahi o ratou i ahau.

¹⁵For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

¹⁵Mehemea hoki ko to ratou makanga atu hei houhanga rongo mo te ao, ka aha to ratou tangohanga mai? he teka ianei he oranga ake i roto i te hunga mate?

¹⁶For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

¹⁶Ki te mea hoki he tapu te mea matamua, ka pera ano te puranga: ki te tapu hoki te pakiaka, e pera ano nga manga.

¹⁷And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

¹⁷Engari ki te mea kua whatiia atu etahi o nga manga, a ka honoa mai koe, te oriwa ngahere, ki roto i nga manga, ka whiwhi ngatahi ki te pakiaka o te momonatanga o te oriwa;

¹⁸Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁸Aua e whakapehapeha ki nga manga. Ki te whakapehapeha ia koe, ehara i te mea nau i mau ake ai te pakiaka, engari na te pakiaka koe.

¹⁹Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

¹⁹Na, tera koe e mea, I whatiia atu nga manga, kia honoa iho ai ahau.

²⁰Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

²⁰Ae ra; na te whakaponokore ratou i whatiia atu ai, na tou whakapono koe i tu ai. Aua e whakakake, engari kia wehi.

²¹For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

²¹Na, ki te mea kihai i tohungia nga manga tupu e te Atua, e kore ano ia e tohu i a koe.

²²Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

²²Na, tirohia iho te ngawari me te pakeke o te Atua: pakeke ki te hunga i hinga; ngawari ki a koe, ki te u koe ki tana tikanga ngawari: ki te kahore, ka tapahia hoki koe.

²³And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

²³Me ratou ano, ki te kore e u ki to ratou whakaponokore, ka honoa ano: e taea hoki ratou e te Atua te hono mai ano.

²⁴For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

²⁴Mehemea hoki ka tapahia mai koe i te oriwa ngahere, a ka honoa mai ki te oriwa pai, he mea rere ke i te tikanga; tera noa ake te honoa o enei, o nga manga tupu, ki to ratou oriwa ano.

²⁵For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

²⁵E kore hoki ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia kuware koutou ki tenei mea ngaro, kei mea noa koutou he matau koutou, kua tau tetahi wahi o te whakapakeketanga ki a Iharaira, kia riro mai ra ano te tokomahatanga o nga tauiwi.

²⁶And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

²⁶Ko reira a Iharaira katoa ora ai: ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Tera e puta mai te Kaiwhakaora i Hiona, mana e kaupare te karakiakore i a Hakopa:

²⁷For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

²⁷Ko taku kawenata hoki tenei ki a ratou, ina tangohia atu e ahau o ratou hara.

²⁸As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

²⁸Na i runga i te rongopai he hoariri ratou, he whakaaro ki a koutou; i runga ia i te whiriwhiringa, e arohaina ana ratou, he whakaaro ki nga matua.

²⁹For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

²⁹I a te Atua homaitanga hoki, i tana karangatanga, kahore e puta ke te whakaaro.

³⁰For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

³⁰Ka rite hoki ki a koutou kihai i whakapono i mua ki te Atua, inaianei ia kua tohungia, he mea na to ratou whakaponokore:

³¹Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

³¹Waihoki kua kahore enei i whakapono inaianei, kia tohungia ai ano ratou i runga i te mahi tohu i whiwhi nei koutou.

³²For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

³²Kua oti hoki te katoa te kopani e te Atua ki roto ki te whakateka, he mea kia tohungia ai e ia te katoa.

³³O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

³³¶ Ano te hohonu, te hua ngatahi hoki o te whakaaro o te Atua me tona mohio! e kore ana tikanga e taea te rapu, ona huarahi te whakataki!

³⁴For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁴Ko wai hoki te mohio ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki? ko wai hoki tona hoa whakatakoto whakaaro?

³⁵Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

³⁵Ko ta wai hoki kua matua hoatu ki a ia, a ka whakahokia mai he utu ki a ia?

³⁶For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

³⁶Ko nga mea katoa nei hoki, nana, a kei runga ano i a ia, a e ahu ana hoki ki a ia: mona te kororia ake tonu atu. Amine.
