Roma 11
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Hindi Ganap na Itinakwil ng Diyos ang Israel
11 Kaya ito (A) ang sinasabi ko: Itinakwil na ba ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan? Huwag nawang mangyari! Ako mismo ay Israelita, mula sa lahi ni Abraham, mula sa lipi ni Benjamin. 2 Hindi itinakwil ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan na kanyang kinilala noong una pa man. Hindi ba ninyo alam ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan tungkol kay Elias, kung paano siyang dumaing sa Diyos laban sa Israel? 3 “Panginoon,”(B) sabi niya, “pinatay nila ang iyong mga propeta at giniba ang iyong mga dambana. Ako na lang ang natitira, at sinisikap nila akong patayin!” 4 Ngunit ano (C) ang sagot sa kanya ng Diyos? “Nagtira ako para sa akin ng pitong libong lalaking hindi yumuyukod kay Baal.” 5 Kaya hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay may nalalabi pa ring mga hinirang sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Diyos. 6 At kung ang paghirang ay sa pamamagitan ng biyaya, ito'y hindi batay sa mga gawa, sapagkat kung gayon, hindi magiging biyaya ang biyaya. 7 Ano ngayon? Hindi nakamtan ng Israel ang pinagsikapan nitong makuha. Ito'y nakamtan ng mga hinirang, subalit ang iba nama'y nagmatigas. 8 Gaya (D) ng nasusulat,
“Binigyan sila ng Diyos ng manhid na diwa,
ng mga matang hindi makakita,
at ng mga taingang hindi makarinig
hanggang sa araw na ito.”
9 Sinabi (E) naman ni David,
“Ang hapag nawa nila'y maging bitag at patibong,
isang katitisuran, at ganti sa kanila;
10 lumabo nawa ang kanilang mga paningin, upang hindi sila makakita,
at sa hirap ay makuba sila habang panahon.”
Ang Kaligtasan ng mga Hentil
11 Kaya't sinasabi ko: natisod ba sila upang tuluyang mabuwal? Huwag nawang mangyari! Sa halip, dahil sa pagsuway nila ay dumating ang kaligtasan sa mga Hentil, upang ibunsod sa selos ang Israel. 12 Ngayon, kung ang pagsuway nila ay nagdulot ng kayamanan para sa sanlibutan, at ang pagkalugi nila ay naging kayamanan para sa mga Hentil, gaano pa kaya ang idudulot ng kanilang lubos na pagbabalik-loob?
13 Ito naman ang sasabihin ko sa inyo, mga Hentil. Dahil ako nga ang apostol para sa mga Hentil, ikinararangal ko ang aking ministeryo 14 sa pag-asang maibunsod ko sa selos ang aking mga kalahi at sa gayon ay mailigtas ko ang ilan sa kanila. 15 Sapagkat kung ang kanilang pagkatakwil ay naging daan ng pagbabalik-loob ng sanlibutan, hindi ba't ang kanilang pagtanggap ay maitutulad sa muling pagkabuhay mula sa kamatayan? 16 Kung ang masa ng tinapay na inialay bilang unang bunga ay banal, banal din ang buong masa na pinagkunan niyon. Kung banal ang ugat, gayundin ang mga sanga. 17 Kung pinutol ang ilang sanga ng punong olibo, at ikaw na sangang ligaw ay idinugtong sa puno upang makabahagi sa katas na nagmumula sa ugat ng punong ito, 18 huwag kang magmalaki sa mga sangang pinutol. Alalahanin mong hindi ikaw ang bumubuhay sa mga ugat, kundi ang ugat ang bumubuhay sa iyo. 19 Maaaring sabihin mo, “Pinutol ang mga sanga upang ako'y maidugtong.” 20 Tama iyan. Ngunit pinutol sila dahil sa kawalan nila ng pananampalataya, at ikaw naman ay idinugtong dahil sa iyong pananampalataya. Kaya't huwag kang magmataas, sa halip ay matakot ka. 21 Sapagkat kung ang mga likas na sanga ay hindi pinanghinayangan ng Diyos, ikaw man ay hindi niya panghihinayangan. 22 Kaya't masdan ninyo ang kabutihan at kabagsikan ng Diyos: kabagsikan sa mga humiwalay, ngunit kabutihan sa iyo, kung mananatili ka sa kanyang kabutihan. Kung hindi, puputulin ka rin. 23 At kung sila'y hindi magpupumilit sa di-pagsampalataya, muli silang idudugtong, sapagkat kaya ng Diyos na sila'y muling idugtong. 24 Kung ikaw na sangang galing sa ligaw na olibo ay naidugtong sa inaalagaang olibo kahit salungat sa likas na paraan, lalo pang maaaring idugtong ang mga likas na sanga sa sarili nitong puno.
Ang Panunumbalik ng Israel
25 Mga kapatid, hindi ko nais na kayong mga Hentil ay maging mataas ang tingin sa sarili. Kaya't nais kong maunawaan ninyo ang hiwagang ito. Nagkaroon ng pagmamatigas ang isang bahagi ng Israel, hanggang makapasok ang kabuuang bilang ng mga Hentil. 26 Sa (F) ganitong paraan maliligtas ang buong Israel. Gaya ng nasusulat,
“Magbubuhat sa Zion ang sasagip sa atin;
aalisin niya ang kasamaan mula sa lahi ni Jacob.”
27 “At ito (G) ang aking pakikipagtipan sa kanila,
kapag pinawi ko na ang kanilang mga kasalanan.”
28 Tungkol sa ebanghelyo, naging kaaway sila ng Diyos alang-alang sa inyo. Tungkol naman sa paghirang, sila'y mga minamahal ng Diyos alang-alang sa kanilang mga ninuno. 29 Sapagkat hindi maaaring bawiin ang mga kaloob at ang pagtawag ng Diyos. 30 Dati kayong mga suwail sa Diyos subalit ngayo'y kinahabagan dahil sa kanilang pagsuway. 31 Ngayon nama'y sila ang naging suwail upang sa pamamagitan ng habag na ipinakita sa inyo, sila rin ay tumanggap ng habag ng Diyos. 32 Sapagkat ibinilanggo ng Diyos ang lahat sa pagsuway upang mahabag siya sa lahat.
33 Napakalalim(H) ng kayamanan at karunungan at kaalaman ng Diyos! Hindi maabot ng isip ng tao ang kanyang hatol, at hindi masiyasat ang kanyang mga paraan!
34 “Sapagkat sino (I) ang nakaaalam sa pag-iisip ng Panginoon,
o sino ang kanyang naging tagapayo?”
35 “Sino (J) ang nakapagbigay sa Diyos ng anuman,
upang siya'y bayaran ng Diyos?”
36 Sapagkat (K) mula sa kanya, at sa pamamagitan niya, at para sa kanya ang lahat ng mga bagay. Sumakanya ang kaluwalhatian magpakailanman. 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)

American Standard Version
11 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture [a]saith [b]of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel: 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what [c]saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. 7 What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: 8 according as it is written, [d]God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day. 9 And David saith,
[e]Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,
And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
And bow thou down their back always.
11 I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their [f]fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry; 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 And if the first-fruit 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 thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them [g]of the root of the fatness of the olive tree; 18 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. 22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; 26 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written,
[h]There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer;
He shall turn away [i]ungodliness from Jacob:
27 [j]And this is [k]my covenant unto them,
When I shall take away their sins.
28 As touching the [l]gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of. 30 For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, 31 even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy. 32 For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth [m]of the riches [n]both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing 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 unto him, are all things. To him be the glory [o]for ever. Amen.
