罗马书 11
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
神没有完全弃绝以色列人
11 那么,我要问,难道神弃绝了他的子民吗?绝对没有!其实我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的后裔,属于便雅悯支派。 2 神并没有弃绝自己预先所知道的子民。难道你们不知道那有关以利亚的经文怎么说吗?他怎样向神抱怨以色列人呢?
3 “主啊,他们杀了你的先知们,拆毁了你的祭坛,
只剩下我一个人,他们还要追索我的命。”[a]
4 但神对他的答复是怎么说的呢?“我为自己保留了七千人,他们是没有向巴力屈膝的。”[b] 5 照样,在现今的时刻也有剩余的少数,就是藉着恩典蒙拣选的人。 6 既然藉着恩典,就不再本于行为了;否则,恩典就不再是恩典了。[c]
7 所以怎么样呢?以色列人并没有获得他们所寻求的,蒙拣选的人却获得了,而其余的人都成了刚硬的, 8 正如经上所记:
“神给了他们昏迷的心灵、
看不见的眼睛、听不见的耳朵,
直到今天。”[d]
9 大卫也说:
“让他们的筵席成为网罗、陷阱、绊脚石,
又成为他们的报应。
10 让他们的眼睛昏暗不能看。
让他们的腰背永远弯曲。”[e]
神没有最终弃绝以色列人
11 所以我要问,难道以色列人跌倒了,是要他们败落吗?绝对不是!相反,因他们的过犯,救恩就临到了外邦人,为要激起以色列人的嫉妒之心。 12 既然他们的过犯能使世人富足,他们的失败能使外邦人富足,更何况他们的全数满足呢!
13 现在我向你们外邦人说话:既然我确实是外邦人的使徒,我就以我的服事工作为荣耀, 14 或许激起我同胞[f]的嫉妒之心,好拯救他们中的一些人。 15 实际上,如果他们被丢弃,使世人与神[g]和好了,那么他们蒙接纳,如果不是从死人中复生,又是什么呢? 16 如果初熟的麦子[h]是圣洁的,那面团也就圣洁了;如果树根是圣洁的,那树枝也就圣洁了。
17 但如果有些树枝被折下来,而你这野橄榄枝被接在其上,并且一同有份于那橄榄树根的丰富养分, 18 那么你就不应该向那些树枝自夸了。而就算你自夸,也不是你托着树根,而是树根托着你。 19 这样,你会说:“那些树枝被折下来,就是要我能被接上去。” 20 不错!他们因不信被折了下来,而你因信已经站立得住;你不可心高气傲,反要惧怕; 21 因为神如果没有顾惜原生的树枝,恐怕也不会顾惜你。 22 所以看哪!神的仁慈和严厉——对堕落的人,神一定是严厉的,但是对你,如果你留在他的仁慈中,神就是仁慈的;否则,你也将被砍下来。 23 而且,那些被折下来的树枝[i]如果不再坚持不信,也将被接上,因为神能够把他们重新接上。 24 要知道,如果你从天然的野橄榄树上被砍下来,尚且能违反自然、被接在栽培的橄榄树上,何况那些原生的树枝[j],难道不更能接在自己的橄榄树上吗?
25 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不明白这奥秘,免得你们自以为聪明。这奥秘就是:以色列人中的部分人变得刚硬,直到外邦人的全数满足了, 26 以色列全家才会得救,正如经上所记:
28 就福音而言,他们因你们的缘故,固然是神的[m]敌人[n];但就拣选而言,他们因祖先的缘故,却是蒙爱的, 29 因为神的恩赐和召唤是不撤回的[o]。 30 正如你们以前不肯信从神而现在却因他们的不信从反而蒙了怜悯; 31 照样,他们如今也不肯信从,为要藉着你们所蒙的怜悯,让他们现在[p]也可以蒙怜悯, 32 因为神把所有的人都圈在不信从之中,是为了要怜悯所有的人。
赞美之歌
33 哦,深奥啊!神的智慧和知识的财富!
他的判断是多么地无法探究,
他的道[q]是多么地无法测度!
34 “到底是谁知道主的心意?
是谁做过他的谋士?[r]
35 又是谁首先给了主,
使自己将来得到回报呢?[s]”
36 因为万有都是出于他、藉着他、归于他。
愿荣耀归于他,直到永远!阿们。

罗马书 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以色列人不全被弃
11 我且说,神弃绝了他的百姓吗?断乎没有。因为我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的后裔,属便雅悯支派的。 2 神并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓。你们岂不晓得经上论到以利亚是怎么说的呢?他在神面前怎样控告以色列人说: 3 “主啊,他们杀了你的先知,拆了你的祭坛,只剩下我一个人,他们还要寻索我的命。” 4 神的回话是怎么说的呢?他说:“我为自己留下七千人,是未曾向巴力屈膝的。” 5 如今也是这样,照着拣选的恩典,还有所留的余数。 6 既是出于恩典,就不在乎行为;不然,恩典就不是恩典了。 7 这是怎么样呢?以色列人所求的,他们没有得着,唯有蒙拣选的人得着了,其余的就成了顽梗不化的。 8 如经上所记:“神给他们昏迷的心,眼睛不能看见,耳朵不能听见,直到今日。” 9 大卫也说:“愿他们的筵席变为网罗,变为机槛,变为绊脚石,做他们的报应。 10 愿他们的眼睛昏蒙,不得看见,愿你时常弯下他们的腰。”
犹太人所失为外邦人所得
11 我且说,他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗?断乎不是。反倒因他们的过失,救恩便临到外邦人,要激动他们发愤。 12 若他们的过失为天下的富足,他们的缺乏为外邦人的富足,何况他们的丰满呢?
13 我对你们外邦人说这话:因我是外邦人的使徒,所以敬重[a]我的职分, 14 或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤,好救他们一些人。 15 若他们被丢弃,天下就得与神和好,他们被收纳,岂不是死而复生吗? 16 所献的新面若是圣洁,全团也就圣洁了;树根若是圣洁,树枝也就圣洁了。 17 若有几根枝子被折下来,你这野橄榄得接在其中,一同得着橄榄根的肥汁, 18 你就不可向旧枝子夸口。若是夸口,当知道不是你托着根,乃是根托着你。 19 你若说,那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上。 20 不错,他们因为不信所以被折下来,你因为信所以立得住。你不可自高,反要惧怕。 21 神既不爱惜原来的枝子,也必不爱惜你。 22 可见神的恩慈和严厉:向那跌倒的人是严厉的;向你是有恩慈的,只要你长久在他的恩慈里;不然,你也要被砍下来。 23 而且他们若不是长久不信,仍要被接上,因为神能够把他们重新接上。 24 你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的,尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上,何况这本树的枝子要接在本树上呢?
犹太人暂时被弃终必得救
25 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘,恐怕你们自以为聪明,就是:以色列人有几分是硬心的,等到外邦人的数目添满了, 26 于是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记:“必有一位救主从锡安出来,要消除雅各家的一切罪恶。” 27 又说:“我除去他们罪的时候,这就是我与他们所立的约。” 28 就着福音说,他们为你们的缘故是仇敌;就着拣选说,他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的。 29 因为神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的。 30 你们从前不顺服神,如今因他们的不顺服,你们倒蒙了怜恤。 31 这样,他们也是不顺服,叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤,现在也就蒙怜恤。 32 因为神将众人都圈在不顺服之中,特意要怜恤众人。
主智无穷主道难寻
33 深哉,神丰富的智慧和知识!他的判断何其难测,他的踪迹何其难寻! 34 “谁知道主的心,谁做过他的谋士呢? 35 谁是先给了他,使他后来偿还呢?” 36 因为万有都是本于他,倚靠他,归于他。愿荣耀归给他,直到永远!阿门。

Romans 11
New Living Translation
God’s Mercy on Israel
11 I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said, 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”[a]
4 And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!”[b]
5 It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel[c] have remained faithful because of God’s grace—his undeserved kindness in choosing them. 6 And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.
7 So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened. 8 As the Scriptures say,
“God has put them into a deep sleep.
To this day he has shut their eyes so they do not see,
and closed their ears so they do not hear.”[d]
9 Likewise, David said,
“Let their bountiful table become a snare,
a trap that makes them think all is well.
Let their blessings cause them to stumble,
and let them get what they deserve.
10 Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,
and let their backs be bent forever.”[e]
11 Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves. 12 Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.
13 I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, 14 for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. 15 For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! 16 And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
17 But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree. 18 But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
19 “Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.” 20 Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. 21 For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t[f] spare you either.
22 Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off. 23 And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the power to graft them back into the tree. 24 You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.
God’s Mercy Is for Everyone
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters,[g] so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. 26 And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,
“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem,[h]
and he will turn Israel[i] away from ungodliness.
27 And this is my covenant with them,
that I will take away their sins.”[j]
28 Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 29 For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. 30 Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead. 31 Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share[k] in God’s mercy. 32 For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
33 Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
34 For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to give him advice?[l]
35 And who has given him so much
that he needs to pay it back?[m]
36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.

Romans 11
New International Version
The Remnant of Israel
11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means!(A) I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham,(B) from the tribe of Benjamin.(C) 2 God did not reject his people,(D) whom he foreknew.(E) Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]?(F) 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b](G) 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant(H) chosen by grace.(I) 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(J) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(K) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(L) 8 as it is written:
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,(M)
to this very day.”[c](N)
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(O)
and their backs be bent forever.”[d](P)
Ingrafted Branches
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(Q) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(R) to make Israel envious.(S) 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(T) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(U) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(V) and save(W) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(X) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(Y) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(Z) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(AA) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(AB) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(AC) 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(AD) Do not be arrogant,(AE) but tremble.(AF) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness(AG) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(AH) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(AI) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(AJ) 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree,(AK) how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant(AL) of this mystery,(AM) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(AN) Israel has experienced a hardening(AO) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(AP) 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved.(AQ) As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[g](AR)
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(AS) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(AT) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(AU) are irrevocable.(AV) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(AW) to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience(AX) so that he may have mercy on them all.
Doxology
33 Oh, the depth of the riches(AY) of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God!(AZ)
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!(BA)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”[j](BB)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”[k](BC)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(BD)
To him be the glory forever! Amen.(BE)
