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.

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 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?

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, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been 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 says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to 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 not to 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 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.

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.

¹²But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather 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, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

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 shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

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

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

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

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.

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,

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, [it is] not *thou* bearest 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 have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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* 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?

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 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;

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. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he 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:

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

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

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

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 the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.

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

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

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

³¹so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of 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 shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to 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 depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

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

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

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

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 for him [are] all things: to him 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.
