11.7 Quid ergo? Audito quod reliquiæ salvæ factæ sunt gratia, et non ex operibus, quid ergo dicendum est? Electio autem consecuta est. Electio gratiæ est, non meritorum. Excæcatio vero meritorum est. Excæcati enim sunt, quia credere noluerunt, sicut illi quia voluerunt, crediderunt. Misericordia igitur et judicium in ipsis voluntatibus facta sunt a Deo, illis vel per misericordiam gratiam apponente, ipsos vero per judicium excæcari permittente. Quicunque enim cum intellexisset credere noluit, id debet consequi quod vult, scilicet ne de cætero possit credere. In voluntate ergo sua adjuti sunt, non immissa malitia, sed deferente gratia; ut quia scientes verum, dicebant esse falsum, de cætero non intelligerent quod verum est. Hoc meretur invidia malæ voluntatis, non ita est de his qui errore hoc agunt.

11.7 What ergo? Audito that reliquiæ salvæ factæ are gratia, and not/no from operibus, quid therefore dicendum est? Electio however consecuta it_is. Electio gratiæ it_is, not/no meritorum. Excæcatio vero meritorum it_is. Excæcati because are, because credere noluerunt, like illi because voluerunt, crediderunt. Misericordia igitur and yudicium in ipsis voluntatibus facts are from Deo, illis or through misericordiam gratiam apponente, themselves vero through yudicium excæcari permittente. Quicunque because when/with intellexisset credere noluit, id debet consequi that vult, scilicet not about cætero possit credere. In voluntate therefore his_own adyuti are, not/no immissa malitia, but deferente gratia; as because scientes verum, dicebant esse falsum, about cætero not/no intelligerent that verum it_is. This meretur invidia malæ voluntatis, not/no ita it_is about his who by_mistake this agunt.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τί οὖν

what therefore

Here, then indicates that what follows is a response to what Paul said in 9:30–11:6. If it might help your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [If these things are true, then what]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τί οὖν

what therefore

Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [What should we conclude]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί οὖν?

what therefore

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [This is what we should conclude:]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ & τοῦτο

what & this

The thing and this here refer to righteousness, as indicated in 9:30–31. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [The righteousness … this righteousness]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ & ἐκλογὴ & οἱ & λοιποὶ

the & /the/_choice & the & rest

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of elect and rest, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the ones who have been elected … the ones of them who remain]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπωρώθησαν

/were/_hardened

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The next verse indicates that God is the one who did the action. Alternate translation: [God hardened]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπωρώθησαν

/were/_hardened

Here, hardened refers to being made stubborn. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [were made stubborn]
