¹I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.

¹Dia hoy izaho: Sao narian'Andriamanitra anie ny olony? Sanatria izany! fa izaho koa mba Isiraelita'taranak'i Abrahama ihany, avy amin'ny firenen'i Benjamina.

²God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

²Andriamanitra tsy nanary ny olony izay efa fantany rahateo; sa tsy fantatrareo izay lazain'ny Soratra Masina eo amin'ny tantaran'i Elia, dia ilay fitarainany tamin'Andriamanitra nentiny namely ny Isiraely hoe:

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

³Jehovah ô, efa namono ny mpaminaninao sy nandrava ny alitaranao izy: ary izaho irery ihany no sisa, ka mitady ny aiko koa izy? (1 Mpan. 19. 14).

⁴But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.

⁴Fa ahoana no navalin'Andriamanitra azy? Izaho efa niaro fito arivo lahy ho Ahy, dia izay tsy mba nandohalika tamin'i Bala (1 Mpan. 19. 18).)

⁵Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.

⁵Dia toy izany koa amin'izao andro ankehitriny izao misy sisa ihany araka ny fifidianana amin'ny fahasoavana.

⁶But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.

⁶Ary raha avy amin'ny fahasoavana izany, dia tsy mba avy amin'ny asa intsony; fa raha izany, dia tsy fahasoavana intsony ny fahasoavana.

⁷What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,

⁷Ahoana ary? Izay notadiavin'ny Isiraely dia tsy azony, fa ny voafidy ihany no nahazo izany, fa nohamafìna ny fon'ny sisa;

⁸according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.

⁸araka ny voasoratra hoe: Andriamanitra efa nanome azy fanahy sondrian-tory sy maso tsy hahita, ary sofina tsy hahare, mandraka androany(Isa 29. 10; Deo. 29. 3)

⁹And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:

⁹Ary hoy Davida: Aoka ny latabany ho fandrika sy ho tonta Ary ho fahatafintohinana sy ho famaliana azy;

¹⁰let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.

¹⁰Aoka ny masony ho jamba tsy hahita, Ary aoka hamokoka mandrakariva izy (Sal. 69. 22, 23).

¹¹I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

¹¹Dia hoy izaho: Sao dia tafintohina ho lavo anie ny Isiraely? Sanatria izany! fa ny fahatafintohinany no nahatonga famonjena ho an'ny jentilisa mba hampialona azy.

¹²But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?

¹²Ary raha ny fahatafintohinany no tonga haren'izao tontolo izao, ary ny nihenany no tonga haren'ny jentilisa, mainka fa ny hafenoany.

¹³For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

¹³Fa ianareo jentilisa no itenenako. Koa satria Apostolin'ny jentilisa aho, dia mankalaza ny fanompoako,

¹⁴if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

¹⁴raha mba misy hahazoako hampialona ireo mifanapa-tsinay amiko, mba hamonjeko ny sasany aminy. [ Gr. ny nofoko]

¹⁵For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?

¹⁵Fa raha ny fanariana azy no fampihavanana izao tontolo izao, tsy ho fitsanganana amin'ny maty ny fandraisana azy? [ Gr. fiainana]

¹⁶Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.

¹⁶Ary koa, raha masina ny santatra, dia masina koa ny vongany; ary raha masina ny fakany, dia masina koa ny sampany.

¹⁷Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁷Fa raha notapahina ny sampany sasany, ary ianao izay tahaka ny hazo oliva maniry ho azy kosa no natsofoka teo aminy mba niombona ny fakan'ny menaky ny hazo oliva [ Na: (fakany sy ny menaky)]

¹⁸boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁸dia aza mirehareha amin'ny sampany; fa raha mirehareha ianao, tsy ianao no mitondra ny fakany, fa ny fakany no mitondra anao.

¹⁹Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.

¹⁹Ary ianao dia hanao hoe: Notapahina ny sampany sasany hanatsofohana ahy.

²⁰Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

²⁰Marina ihany izany; ny tsi-finoany no nanapahana azy, ary ny finoanao kosa no itoeranao. Aza miavonavona, fa matahora;

²¹if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

²¹fa raha ny tena sampana aza tsy navelan'Andriamanitra, dia tsy havelany koa ianao.

²²Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] *thou* also wilt be cut away.

²²Koa indro ny fahamoram-panahin'Andriamanitra sy ny fahasaro-pony: amin'izay lavo dia fahasaro-po; fa aminao kosa dia fahamoram-panahin'Andriamanitra, raha maharitra ao amin'ny fahamoram-panahiny ianao; fa raha tsy izany, dia hotapahina koa ianao.

²³And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

²³Ary ireny kosa, raha tsy mikikitra eo amin'ny tsi-finoana, dia hatsofoka ihany; fa azon'Andriamanitra atsofoka indray izy.

²⁴For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁴Fa raha notapahina tamin'ny hazo oliva naniry ho azy ianao ka natsofoka tamin'ny hazo oliva tsara, nefa tsy tena sampany, mainka fa izay tena sampany no hatsofoka amin'ny hazo oliva nanapahana azy.

²⁵For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

²⁵Fa tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo izany zava-miafina izany, ry rahalahy (fandrao mihevitra ny tenanareo ho hendry ianareo), fa efa misy fahamafiam-po manjo ny Isiraely sasany mandra-piditry ny hafenoan'ny jentilisa;

²⁶and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁶ary amin'izany dia hovonjena avokoa ny Isiraely rehetra, - araka ny voasoratra hoe: Hivoaka avy any Ziona ny Mpanafaka, Ary hampiala ny haratsiam-panahy amin'i Jakoba Izy;

²⁷And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.

²⁷Ary izao no fanekeko aminy, raha manaisotra ny fahotany Aho (Isa. 59. 20, 21; 27. 9).

²⁸As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

²⁸Raha ny amin'ny filazantsara dia fahavalo izy noho ny aminareo; fa raha ny amin'ny fifidianana kosa dia malala izy noho ny amin'ny razana.

²⁹For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.

²⁹Fa ny fanomezam-pahasoavana sy ny fiantsoan'Andriamanitra dia tsy misy hanenenany.

³⁰For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;

³⁰Fa tahaka anareo tsy nanaiky an'Andriamanitra fahiny, nefa ankehitriny ny tsi-faneken'ireny no nahazoanareo famindram-po,

³¹so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.

³¹dia toy izany kosa ankehitriny, tsy nanaiky ireny, mba hahazoany famindram-po ankehitriny noho ny famindram-po azonareo.

³²For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.

³²Fa Andriamanitra nanidy azy rehetra tamin'ny tsi-fanekena, mba hamindrany fo amin'izy rehetra.

³³O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

³³Endrey ny halalin'ny haren'Andriamanitra sy ny fahendreny ary ny fahalalany! ny fitsarany tsy hita lany, ary ny lalany tsy azo fantarina! [ Na: ny haren'ny fahendren'Andriamanitra]

³⁴For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?

³⁴Fa iza no nahalala ny sain'i Jehovah? ary iza no mpanolo-tsaina Azy? (Isa 40. 13)

³⁵or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?

³⁵Na iza no nanome Azy aloha hamaliana azy indray?Fa Izy no nihavian'izao zavatra rehetra izao, ary Izy no mihazona azy, sady Izy koa no antony; Izy anie no homem-boninahitra mandrakizay. Amena.

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

³⁶Fa Izy no nihavian'izao zavatra rehetra izao, ary Izy no mihazona azy, sady Izy koa no antony; Izy anie no homem-boninahitra mandrakizay. Amena.
