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

¹Hovorím tedy: Či azda Bôh zavrhnul svoj ľud? Nech sa nestane! Lebo veď i ja som Izraelita, zo semena Abrahámovho, z pokolenia Benjaminovho.

²God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

²Nezavrhnul Bôh svojho ľudu, ktorý vopred poznal. Alebo či neviete, čo hovorí Písmo, kde je reč o Eliášovi, jako sa modlí Bohu proti Izraelovi a hovorí:

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

³Pane, tvojich prorokov pobili a tvoje oltáre rozborili, a zostal som len ja sám, a hľadajú i moju dušu.

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

⁴Ale čo mu hovorí na to Božia odveta? Zanechal som si sedem tisíc mužov, ktorí nesklonili kolena modle Bálovi.

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

⁵Takto tedy stalo sa, že i v terajšom čase je zostatok podľa vyvolenia milosti.

⁶But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.

⁶Ale ak milosťou, vtedy už nie zo skutkov, pretože milosť by už nebola milosťou. A jestli zo skutkov, nie je to už milosť, pretože skutok už nie je skutkom.

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

⁷Tak čo tedy? To, čo snažne hľadá Izrael, toho nedosiahol, ale vyvolenie dosiahlo, a ostatní sú zatvrdení.

⁸according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.

⁸Zrovna jako je napísané: Bôh im dal ducha hlbokého spánku. oči, aby nevideli, a uši aby nepočuli, až do dnešného dňa.

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

⁹A Dávid hovorí: Nech im je ich stôl osídlom a pascou, kameňom úrazu a odplatou.

¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back always.

¹⁰Nech sa zatmia ich oči, aby nevideli, a ich chrbát zohni navždy.

¹¹I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

¹¹Hovorím tedy: Či neklesli, aby padli? Nech sa nestane! Ale ich pádom sa dostalo spasenie pohanom, aby ich rozhorlil.

¹²Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

¹²No, ak je ich pád bohatstvom sveta a ich porážka bohatstvom pohanov, o koľko viac ich plnosť!

¹³But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

¹³Lebo hovorím vám pohanom: Nakoľko teda som ja apoštolom pohanov, vychvaľujem túto svoju službu,

¹⁴if by any means I may provoke to jealousy [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them.

¹⁴ak by som len nejako mohol rozhorliť svoje telo a zachrániť niektorých z nich.

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

¹⁵Lebo ak je ich zavrhnutie smierením sveta, čo potom iné ich prijatie ako život, život z mŕtvych?!

¹⁶And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

¹⁶A jestli je prvotina svätá, vtedy aj celé cesto, a jestli je koreň svätý, vtedy aj vetvi.

¹⁷But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;

¹⁷Ale ak sú niektoré vetvi vylomené, a ty, ktorý si z divej olivy, vštepený si medzi ne a stal si sa spoluúčastným koreňa a tuku olivy,

¹⁸glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁸nechváľ sa proti vetviam: a jestli sa chváliš, vedz, že nie ty nesieš koreň, ale koreň teba.

¹⁹Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

¹⁹Nuž tedy povieš: Vetvi sú vylomené, aby som ja bol vštepený.

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

²⁰Dobre. Vylomené sú neverou, a ty stojíš vierou. Nebuď vysokomyseľný, ale sa boj!

²¹for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

²¹Lebo ak Bôh neušetril prirodzených vetví, mohol by snáď neušetriť ani teba.

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

²²Vidz tedy dobrotu i prísnosť Božiu! Na tých, ktorí padli, prísnosť, a na teba dobrota Božia, keď zostaneš v dobrote, ináče budeš aj ty vyťatý.

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

²³A zase oni, keď nezostanú v nevere, budú znova vštepení, pretože Bôh má moc zase ich vštepiť.

²⁴For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁴Lebo ak si ty vyťatý z olivy, ktorá je prírodou planá, a si proti prírode vštepený do dobrej olivy, o koľko skôr potom títo súc prirodzenými vetvami vštepení budú do svojej vlastnej olivy!

²⁵For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

²⁵Lebo nechcem, bratia, aby ste nevedeli toho tajomstva, aby ste neboli sami u seba múdrymi, že zatvrdenie z čiastky stihlo Izraela dotiaľ, dokiaľ nevojde plnosť pohanov,

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

²⁶a tak bude celý Izrael spasený, jako je napísané: Prijde zo Siona Vysloboditeľ a odvráti bezbožnosti od Jakoba.

²⁷And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

²⁷A toto im bude odo mňa smluva, keď odnímem ich hriechy.

²⁸As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.

²⁸Tak podľa evanjelia sú nepriateľmi pre vás, ale podľa vyvolenia milovaní pre otcov.

²⁹For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.

²⁹Lebo nijakým činom neželie Bôh darov svojej milosti a svojho povolania.

³⁰For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³⁰Lebo zrovna tak, ako ste aj vy kedysi neposlúchali Boha, ale teraz ste došli milosrdenstva ich neposlušnosťou,

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

³¹tak aj oni teraz neposlúchajú, aby milosrdenstvom, ktoré sa vám dostalo, aj oni došli milosrdenstva,

³²For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

³²pretože Bôh zavrel všetkých do neposlušnosti, aby sa nad všetkými zmiloval.

³³O 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!

³³Ó, hlbino bohatstva a múdrosti a známosti Božej! Aké nevyzpytateľné sú jeho súdy a nevystihnuteľné jeho cesty!

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

³⁴Lebo kto poznal myseľ Pánovu? Alebo kto kedy bol jeho radcom, aby sa bol s ním radil?

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

³⁵Alebo kto mu dal prv niečo, aby mu to bolo odplatené?

³⁶For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him [be] the glory for ever. Amen.

³⁶Lebo z neho, skrze neho a pre neho je všetko, Jemu sláva na veky. Ameň.
