OET ROM chapter 11

11 Therefore I’m asking: Did God push his chosen people away? May it never be, because I also am an Israeli, a descendant of Abraham in the tribe of Benyamin.[ref] 2 No, God didn’t push away his people that he knew before he chose them. Or don’t you know what Eliyyah wrote when he pleaded with God to deal with Israel:[ref] 3 ‘Master, they killed your prophets and tore down your altars, and I was left alone and now they want to kill me!’ 4 But what was the revelation that was given to him:[ref] ‘I’ve kept aside seven thousand others who haven’t worshipped Baal.’ 5 So too also at the present time, there’s a small proportion who’ve been chosen by God’s grace. 6 So if it’s by grace, then it’s no longer by their actions, otherwise the grace wouldn’t be grace at all.

7 What’s the conclusion then? The Israelis didn’t find what they were looking for. Only the chosen ones reaching it and the rest were hardened 8 just like is was written:[ref]

‘God gave them a lethargic spirit:

Eyes which can’t see and ears which can’t hear,

even to this very day.’

9 And as David wrote:[ref]

‘Let their table become a trap for them—

a temptation that will pay them back.

10 Let their eyes be darkened so they can’t see,

and their backs be bent through all time.’

11 So now I ask: didn’t they stumble so that they would fall? May it never be. But because of their disobedience, salvation came to non-Jews in order to make Jews envious. 12 But if their disobedience led to gain for the rest of the world and if their loss led to gain for the non-Jews, how much more their fullness?

11 Therefore I _am _asking, not pushed _away the god the people of _him?
Never it _might _become.
For/Because also I an_Israelite am, of the_seed of _Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām), of_the_tribe of _Beniamin/(Binyāmīn).
2 Not pushed _away the god the people of _him, whom he _foreknew.
Or not you _all _have _known in Aʸlias/(ʼĒliy^yāh) what is _saying the scripture, how he _is _pleading the with_god against the Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl)?
3 master, the prophets of _you they _killed _off, the altars of _you they _tore _down, and _I was _left alone, and they _are _seeking the life of _me.
4 But what is _speaking to _him the revelation?
I _left to _myself seven _thousand men, who not bowed the_knee which to _Baal/(Baˊal).
5 Therefore thus also in the present time, a_remnant according _to the_choice of _grace has _become.
6 But if by _grace, no _longer it _is of works, otherwise the grace no _longer is _becoming grace.
7 Therefore what?
What is _seeking _after Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl), this not it _obtained, but the the_choice obtained it, and the rest were _hardened, 8 as it _has _been _written:
Gave to _them the god a_spirit of _stupor:
Eyes which not to _be _seeing, and ears which not to _be _hearing, to the today day.
9 And Dawid/(Dāvid) is _saying:
Let _be _become the table of _them for a_snare, and for a_trap, and for an_offense, and for a_repayment to _them.
10 Let _be _darkened the eyes of _them, which not to _be _seeing, and the back of _them through all time bend.
11 Therefore I _am _asking not they _stumbled, in _order _that they _may _fall?
Never it _might _become.
But in _the of _them transgression, the salvation is to _the pagans, in _order that to _make _jealous them.
12 But if the transgression of _them, riches of_the_world is, and the loss of _them, riches of_the_pagans, by _how _much more the fullness of _them?

11:13 The grafting in of non-Jews

13 But now I am speaking to you all non-Jews. Since I am indeed a missionary to the non-Jews, I take pride in my ministry, 14 hoping that somehow I might make my fellow Jews envious and might save some of them. 15 Because if their rejection of the messiah meant that the rest of the world would be reconciled, what else could their acceptance bring other than coming back to life from the dead.

16 If the first portion of dough is holy, so is the lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you non-Jews who are like a wild, olive tree were grafted into them and so you too were able to share in the growth of the olive tree that was sourced in the root, 18 then don’t brag that you’re better than the branches. If you must boast, remember that you’re not supporting the root, but the root is supporting you.

19 Ah, but then you’ll say, ‘Branches were broken off so that we could be grafted in.’ 20 Well you’re right. They were broken off because of their unbelief, and it’s true that you’re there because of your faith. But don’t get a big head—maintain your reverence for God, 21 because if he didn’t spare the natural branches when they showed unbelief, then he won’t spare you either. 22 So you can both God’s kindness and his severity: those who disobeyed experienced his severity but you experienced his kindness. Otherwise you also will be pruned off, 23 and also if they turn from their unbelief, they’ll be grafted back in, because God has the power to do that. 24 If were cut off an olive tree that’s wild by nature, and contrary to normal practice were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more would those who naturally belong be grafted into their own olive tree!

13 To _you _all but I _am _speaking, the pagans.
For/Because as _much _as therefore indeed am I of_the_pagans an_ambassador, the service of _me I _am _glorifying, 14 if somehow I _may _make _jealous of _me the flesh, and I _may _save some from them.
15 For/Because if the rejection of _them is reconciliation of_the_world, what is the acceptance except not/lest life from the_dead?
16 And if the first-fruit is holy, also the lump, and if the root is holy, also the branches.
17 But if some of _the branches were _broken _off, and you a_wild _olive _tree being were _engrafted among them, and a_fellow-partaker of _the root of _the fatness of _the olive _tree you _became, 18 not be _boasting over _the branches.
But if you _are _boasting, not you the root are _bearing, but the root is _bearing you.
19 Therefore you _will _be _saying:
/Were /_broken _off branches, in _order _that I may _be _engrafted.
20 Rightly, by _their unbelief they _were _broken _off, but you the by _faith have _stood.
Not high be _thinking, but be _fearing.
21 For/Because if the god from _the according _to nature branches not spared, neither from _you he _will _be _sparing.
22 Therefore see, the_kindness and severity of_god, on on _one _hand the ones having _fallen, severity, on _the _other _hand to you, kindness of_god, if you _may _continue _on in _the kindness, otherwise also you will _be _being _cut _off.
23 And also _those if not they _may _be _continuing _on the in _unbelief, they _will _be _being _engrafted, because/for powerful is the god again to _engraft them.
24 For/Because if you out _of the according _to nature were _cut _off wild _olive _tree, and contrary _to nature were _engrafted into a_cultivated _olive _tree, by _how _much more these, who according _to nature will _be _being _engrafted in _their own olive _tree?

11:25 God’s mercy is for everyone

25 Brothers and sisters, I don’t want you all be to ignorant of this mystery so that you won’t end up becoming proud: There’s a partial hardening coming to the Jews until the fullness of the non-Jews comes to pass 26 and then all the Jews will be saved as it’s been written:[ref]

‘The rescuer will be coming out of Tsiyyon/Zion.

He will drive ungodliness away from Yacob.

27 And this is my agreement with them,[ref]

whenever I might take away their sins.’

28 Concerning the good message, the Jews are enemies for your sake, but concerning being chosen, they are loved because of their ancestors, 29 because God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 You non-Jews didn’t originally believe in God, but now you’ve all been shown mercy because of the disbelief of these Jews. 31 Those Jews disbelieved so that as you receive mercy, they may also now be shown mercy, 32 because God imprisoned them all in disbelief so that he might show mercy to everyone.

25 For/Because not I _am _wanting you _all to _be _not _knowing, brothers, the mystery this, in _order _that not you _all _may _be in yourselves prudent, that a_hardening in part to_ the _Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl) has _become, until of _which the fullness of _the pagans may _come _in, 26 and thus all Israaʸl/(Yisrā^ʼēl) will _be _being _saved, as it _has _been _written:
Will _be _coming out _of Siōn/(Tsiyyōn) the one rescuing, he _will _be _turning _away ungodliness from Yakōb/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ).
27 And this is to _them, the from me covenant:
Whenever I _may _take _away the sins of _them.
28 Concerning on _one _hand the good _message, enemies because _of you _all, on _the _other _hand concerning the choice, beloved because _of the fathers.
29 For/Because unregrettable are the gifts and the calling of_ the _god.
30 For/Because as you _all once disbelieved the in_god, but now you _all _were _shown _mercy by _the of _these disbelief, 31 thus also these now disbelieved which in _your mercy, in _order _that also they now may _be _shown _mercy.
32 For/Because imprisoned the god the ones all in disbelief, in _order _that which to _all he _may _show _mercy.

11:33 Everything comes from God

33 [ref]Yes, The God’s wisdom and knowledge are both so richly deep. His judgements can’t be understood and his paths can’t be tracked, 34 because:[ref]
