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 Ay ne hã: Irikoy na nga jama furu no? Abada! Zama baa ay bumbo Israyla* boro no, Ibrahim dumi, Benyamin kunda no.
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?
2 Irikoy mana nga jama furu bo! nga kaŋ a jin ka bay. Wala araŋ mana bay no haŋ kaŋ Irikoy Tira Hanna ci Iliya boŋ, mate kaŋ cine a na Irikoy ŋwaaray ka gaaba nda Israyla, ka ne:
3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.
3 «Rabbi, i na ni annabey wi, I na ni sargay* feemey zeeri. Ay mo, ay hinne no ka cindi. I goono g'ay fundo mo ceeci, ngey m'a kaa.»
4But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
4 Amma tuyaŋ woofo no Irikoy tu d'a a se? A ne: «Ay na alboro zambar iyye cindi ay boŋ se, kaŋ yaŋ kangey mana sombu ka sududu Baal* se.»
5Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
5 Yaadin mo no a go sohõ alwaati wo ra, jare kayna fo ka bara kaŋ Irikoy suuban gomni boŋ.
6But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.
6 Amma da gomni boŋ no, manti goyey boŋ no koyne. Da manti yaadin no, gomno manti gomni no koyne.
7What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
7 Ifo binde no? Haya kaŋ Israyla goono ga ceeci, a mana du a, amma suubanantey no du a. Cindey mo Irikoy n'i biney sandandi.
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.
8 Mate kaŋ i n'a hantum, ka ne: «Irikoy n'i no laakal tiŋo. A n'i no moyaŋ kaŋ i si di nd'ey, A n'i no hangayaŋ mo kaŋ i si maa d'ey, hala ka kaa hunkuna.»
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:
9 Dawda mo ne: «I taablo ma ciya i se hirrimi, da kumsay, da katiyaŋ hari, da banandi mo.
10let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
10 I moy ma te kubay, hal i ma si du ka di. Ma naŋ mo i banda daarey ma gungum alwaati kulu.»
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.
11 Amma ay ne: Katiyaŋo kaŋ i te, i n'a te zama ngey ma kaŋ se no? Abada! Amma i katiyaŋo do faaba kaa dumi cindey se, ka Israyla* zukku a ma canse.
12But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?
12 To. Za kaŋ i katiyaŋo ciya ndunnya se arzaka, i mursa mo ciya dumi* cindey se albarka, sanku fa mo i toonandiyaŋo.
13For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
13 Amma sohõ ay goono ga salaŋ araŋ kaŋ ga ti dumi cindey se. Za kaŋ ay ya diya no dumi cindey se, ay go g'ay goyo beerandi
14if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
14 ka di, mate kulu kaŋ no, hal ay m'ay bumbo dumo zukku a ma canse, zama ay ma i ra afooyaŋ faaba.
15For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?
15 Zama za kaŋ i furuyaŋo ciya ndunnya se sasabandiyaŋ, mate no i ye ka tayaŋo ga hima nd'a, da manti buukoy se fundi nooyaŋ?
16Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.
16 Da looma sintina ciya _sargay|_ hanante, yaadin mo no motta. Da kaajo mo ciya hanante, yaadin mo no kambey ga ciya.
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,
17 I na zeytun* kambe fooyaŋ ceeri. Nin mo, kaŋ ga ti ganjo ra zeytuno, i na ni dabu i game ra tuuri-nya hanna gaa, hala mo ni margu ka du zeytun kaajo albarka gaa i banda.
18boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.
18 To, yaadin gaa, ni ma si fooma kambe fey din gaa, zama nda ni ga fooma, ma bay kaŋ manti nin no goono ga kaajo jare bo, amma day kaajo no goono ga ni jare.
19Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.
19 Ni ga ne binde: «I na kambeyaŋ ceeri k'i kaa zama i m'ay dabu.»
20Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
20 To, i cimbeeri-jaŋa sabbay se no i n'i kaa. Ni mo, ni cimbeero* do no ni goono ga goro. Kala day ma si te boŋbeeray, amma ma humburu.
21if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
21 Zama nda Irikoy mana fay da zeytun nya hanna kambey, a si fay da nin mo.
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.
22 Wa guna Irikoy booriyaŋo d'a sandiyaŋo mo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ kaŋ din se, a sandiyaŋo no, amma ni wo se Irikoy booriyaŋo no, da day ni munye a booriyaŋo ra. Amma da ni mana munye, kulu a ga ni dumbu ka ni kaa.
23And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
23 Borey mo, d'i mana soobay ka goro ngey cimbeeri-jaŋa ra, Irikoy ga ye k'i dabu, zama a gonda dabari k'i dabu koyne.
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?
24 Zama nda nin, kaŋ ga ti ganjo ra zeytun nya kambe, Irikoy na ni pati ka kaa ka ni dabu zeytun nya hanna gaa, haŋ kaŋ borey mana doona ka te, sanku fa binde ngey wo, kaŋ ga ti zeytun nya hanna kambeyaŋ, manti Irikoy g'i dabu ngey boŋ zeytun nyaŋo gaa?
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;
25 Nya-ize, ay si ba araŋ ma jaŋ ka bay gundo wo gaa (zama araŋ ma si ciya boroyaŋ kaŋ ga boŋ jare). Gundo wo ga ti: bine sanday te Israyla* jare se, hala waati kaŋ dumi cindey toonandiyaŋo ga to.
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.
26 Yaadin mo no Israyla kulu ga du faaba, mate kaŋ i n'a hantum ka ne: «Fansakwa ga fun Sihiyona* ra kaŋ ga Irikoy wanga kosaray Yakuba se.
27And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
27 Woone no ga ti ay alkawlo kaŋ go in d'ey game ra, waati kaŋ ay g'i zunubey kaa.»
28As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
28 Baaru Hanna ciine ra, i te ibareyaŋ araŋ sabbay se. Amma Irikoy suubanyaŋo ciine ra, ngey no ga ti borey kaŋ Irikoy ga ba doŋ kaayey sabbay se.
29For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.
29 Zama Irikoy nooyaŋey da Irikoy ceeyaŋo, a si ba ye i gaa.
30For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;
30 Waato araŋ wo, araŋ wangu ka Irikoy gana, amma sohõ araŋ du suuji i ganayaŋ-jaŋa do.
31so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.
31 Yaadin mo no ngey din kaŋ yaŋ wangu ka gana sohõ, i ga hin ka du suuji, wo kaŋ araŋ du din do.
32For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.
32 Zama Irikoy na boro kulu daabu ganayaŋ-jaŋay ra, zama nga ma suuji cabe borey kulu se.
33O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
33 Hay! Mate kaŋ Irikoy laakalo arzaka ga guusu nd'a! A bayra mo, yaadin no a go! A ciitey baa da fintalyaŋ. A fondey mo bisa fahamay gaa!
34For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
34 Zama: «May no na Rabbi miila bay, Wala may no ka ciya a saawarekasina?
35or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
35 May no jin k'a no, hal a m'a yeti a se?»
36For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
36 Zama hay kulu fun a do, Hay kulu goono ga te a do, i ga ye a do mo. Darza ma ciya a wane hal abada! Amin!
