К Римлянам 11
New Russian Translation
Бог не отверг Свой народ
11 Поэтому я хочу спросить: разве Бог отверг Свой народ? Конечно же нет! Я и сам израильтянин, потомок Авраама[a] из рода Вениамина. 2 Бог не отверг Свой народ[b], который Он избрал от начала.
Вы ведь знаете из Писания о том, как Илия обвинял израильтян перед Богом:
3 «Господи, они убили Твоих пророков
и разрушили Твои жертвенники.
Остался лишь я один,
и они пытаются убить и меня»[c].
4 Но что Бог ему ответил? «Я сохранил Себе семь тысяч человек, которые не преклонили своих колен перед Баалом!»[d] 5 Так и сейчас есть остаток, избранный по Божьей благодати, 6 а если по благодати, то значит не по делам, ведь в противном случае благодать уже не была бы благодатью.
7 Так, что же? То, к чему Израиль так стремился, он не получил, только избранные получили, а все остальные ожесточились. 8 Как написано:
«Бог сделал их дух нечувствительным,
Он закрыл им глаза, чтобы они не видели,
и уши, чтобы они не слышали,
вплоть до сегодняшнего дня»[e].
9 Давид говорит:
«Пусть будет стол их петлей и западней для них,
камнем преткновения и возмездием.
10 Пусть их глаза померкнут, чтобы они не видели,
и пусть их спины согнутся навсегда»[f].
Дикие и природные ветви
11 Итак, я спрашиваю: может быть, они споткнулись, чтобы упасть навсегда? Конечно же нет! Но их падение принесло спасение язычникам, которое должно возбудить ревность[g] и в самих израильтянах. 12 Если их падение принесло богатство миру и если их потери принесли богатство язычникам, то насколько же больше богатства принесет их полное обращение!
13 Говорю вам, язычники. Как апостол язычников, я высоко ценю мое служение 14 и надеюсь, что смогу как-то возбудить ревность моего народа, чтобы спасти хоть некоторых из них. 15 Ведь, если их отвержение принесло миру примирение, то чем будет их принятие, как не воскресением из мертвых?[h] 16 Если часть теста посвящается Богу, то и все тесто посвящено Ему, и если корень посвящен Богу, то и ветви посвящены Ему.
17 Если же отдельные ветви были отломлены, а ты, дикая олива, была привита на их место и питаешься от соков корня оливкового дерева, 18 то не хвались тем, что ты лучше их. Если ты превозносишься, то подумай о том, что не ты держишь корень, а корень – тебя. 19 Может быть, ты скажешь: «Ветви были отломлены, чтобы привить меня». 20 Да, но они были отломлены из-за своего неверия, а ты держишься благодаря вере. Поэтому не гордись, но бойся. 21 Ведь если Бог не пожалел природных ветвей, то Он не пожалеет и тебя.
22 Подумай о доброте и о строгости Божьей: строгости к тем, кто отпал, и доброте к тебе, при условии, что ты продолжаешь жить в Его доброте, иначе ты тоже будешь отсечен. 23 Если они не будут оставаться в неверии, то снова будут привиты, потому что Бог в силах привить их опять. 24 Если ты был срезан с дикого по природе оливкового дерева и вопреки своей природе был привит к окультуренному дереву, то тем более природные ветви привьются к своему собственному дереву!
Предстоящее спасение Израиля
25 Братья, чтобы вы не считали себя умнее, чем вы есть, я не хочу оставить вас в неведении о тайне: часть Израиля будет ожесточена до тех пор, пока полностью не придет к Богу полное число язычников. 26 И таким образом, весь Израиль будет спасен, как написано:
«С Сиона придет Избавитель.
Он удалит нечестие от Иакова.
27 И это Мой завет с ними,
когда сниму с них их грехи»[i].
28 Что касается Радостной Вести, то они стали врагами ради вас, чтобы вы были спасены, но что касается избрания, то они любимы Богом ради отцов. 29 Божьи дары и Его призвание неизменны. 30 Вы раньше были непокорны Богу, а сейчас из-за их непокорности Бог помиловал вас. 31 Так и они стали сейчас непокорны, чтобы и им тоже быть помилованными благодаря милости Божьей, проявленной к вам. 32 Бог провел все без исключения народы через непокорность, чтобы всех их помиловать.
33 О глубина богатства, мудрости и знания Бога!
Как непостижимы Его решения
и неисследимы пути Его!
34 «Кто постиг разум Господа
или был Ему советником?»[j]
35 «Кто Ему что-либо дал,
что Он остался тому должен?»[k]
36 Ведь все происходит от Него и через Него,
и для Него все существует.
Хвала Ему вовеки! Аминь.

Kehillah in Rome 11
Orthodox Jewish Bible
11 I ask, therefore, has Hashem repudiated His people? Not at all! Chas v’shalom! For I too am a ben Yisroel, of the zera Avraham (seed of Avraham Avinu), of the tribe of Binyamin.
2 Hashem has not repudiated His people whom He foreknew [TEHILLIM 94:14; Ro 8:29). Or do you not have da’as what the Kitvei Hakodesh says in the section about Eliyahu HaNavi, how he appeals to Hashem against Yisroel?
3 "Adonoi, they have killed your Nevi’im, they have torn down your mizbe’achot (altars), and I alone have been left, and they seek my life." [MELACHIM ALEF 19:10]
4 But what is Hashem’s answer to him? "I have kept for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Ba’al." [MELACHIM ALEF 19:18]
5 Thus, therefore, also in the zman hazeh, there has come into being a she’erit (remnant, remainder) in accordance with the bechirah (election) of chesed (free, unmerited favor or grace).
6 But if on the mekor (basis) of chen v’chesed (unmerited favor, grace), then not on the mekor (basis) of [loin (wages), batsolen (pay) for] ma’asim (works), vi-bahlt (since) otherwise chesed would no longer be chesed (4:4-5).
7 What then? What Yisroel sought for, that is what it did not obtain; but hannivcharim (the elect, the chosen ones) obtained it. And the rest were hardened (9:17-18)
8 As it is written, "G-d gave to them a ruach tardemah (spirit of deep sleep), eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this very day" Isa 29:10.
9 And Dovid said, "Let their shulchan (table) become a snare and a net, a trap and a retribution for them;
10 " Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever." TEHILLIM 68:23-24 TARGUM HASHIVIM; [69:22-23].
11 I ask, therefore, have they stumbled so as to fall? Chas v’shalom! But by their peysha (transgression), Yeshu’at Eloheinu is coming to the Goyim in order to provoke them to jealousy.
12 And if their peysha (transgression) means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Goyim, how much more will their fullness mean!
13 I am speaking to you Goyim. So then, in as much as I am Shliach of the Ethnic Groups, I magnify my avodas kodesh, in the tikvah
14 that I might provoke my kinsmen to jealousy and might save some of them.
15 For if their rejection means ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful men) for the gontzer velt (whole world), what shall their acceptance mean other than Chayyim min haMesim (Life from the dead ones)?
16 If the terumah haissa (portion, offering of the dough) that is reshit (first) is kodesh (holy), so is the whole; and if the shoresh (root) is kodesh (holy), so also are the ana’fim (the branches).
17 But if some of the ana’fim have been broken off, and you, a wild olive, have been grafted among them and have become sharer in the richness of the olive tree’s root,
18 Do not boast (4:2) over the ana’fim. If you do boast, it is not the case that you sustain the shoresh, but the shoresh sustains you.
19 You will say, then, "Anafim were broken off in order that I might be grafted in."
20 Quite so: they were broken off on the mekor (basis) of no emunah, but you stand only by emunah. Do not cherish proud thoughts, but fear.
21 For if G-d did not spare the natural anafim, neither will He spare you.
22 Consider then the nedivut (generosity), the chesed of Hashem, and also the fearful judgment of Hashem: to those who fell (11:15), severity; but to you the goodness of Hashem, provided that you continue in that goodness; otherwise, you too will be cut off.
23 Whereas, they also, if they do not continue in a condition of no emunah, shall be grafted in; for Hashem is able to graft them in again.
24 For if you [Goyim] were cut off from the wild olive tree and grafted unnaturally into the cultivated olive tree, how much more shall those who belong to it naturally be grafted into their own olive tree.
25 For I do not want you to be unaware, Achim b’Moshiach, of this raz (mystery), lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a hardening in part has come over Yisroel, until the full number of the Goyim has come in;
26 And so Klal Yisroel shall be delivered, as it is written: "Out of Tziyon shall come the Go’el (Deliverer, Redeemer); He will turn away, remove peysha from Ya’akov (Jacob),
27 "And this will be My Berit (covenant) with them, when I take away their sins" YESHAYAH 59:20-21; 27:9.
28 With regard to the Besuras HaGeulah they are oyevim (enemies) for your [you Goyim] sake, whereas with regard to the bechirah (election) they are beloved for the sake of the Avot (Fathers).
29 For the matnat Hashem and the kri’at Hashem are irrevocable.
30 For just as you Goyim were once without mishma’at to Hashem, but now have received chaninah (mercy, pardon) by their lack of mishma’at,
31 So also they have now been without mishma’at for your chaninah (mercy, pardon) in order that they also might receive chaninah (mercy) (Ro 9:15-16).
32 For G-d has confined all in disobedience in order that He might have chaninah (mercy) on all;
33 O the depth of the riches and the chochmah (wisdom) and da’as (knowledge) of Hashem. How unfathomable are His mishpatim and unsearchable His ways.
34 For who has known the Ruach of Hashem? Or who has been ISH ATZATO ("His Counselor") [Isa 40:13]?
35 Or who has given in advance to Him so that His presents come only as a (choiv) debt repaid? [IYOV 41:3 (11); Ro 4:4]
36 Because from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Lo HaKavod l’Olamim. Omein. ("To Him be glory forever. Amen.")
Romans 11
King James Version
11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
