Romanos 11

I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:

DIGO pues: ¿Ha desechado Dios á su pueblo? En ninguna manera. Porque también yo soy Israelita, de la simiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamín.

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.

I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known — in Elijah — what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying,

No ha desechado Dios á su pueblo, al cual antes conoció. ¿O no sabéis qué dice de Elías la Escritura? cómo hablando con Dios contra Israel dice:

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,

God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

'Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;'

Señor, á tus profetas han muerto, y tus altares han derruído; y yo he quedado solo, y procuran matarme.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”

but what saith the divine answer to him? 'I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.'

Mas ¿qué le dice la divina respuesta? He dejado para mí siete mil hombres, que no han doblado la rodilla delante de Baal.

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.

But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;

Así también, aun en este tiempo han quedado reliquias por la elección de gracia.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

Y si por gracia, luego no por las obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por las obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,

¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la elección lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos;

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

according as it hath been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' — unto this very day,

Como está escrito: Dióles Dios espíritu de remordimiento, ojos con que no vean, y oídos con que no oigan, hasta el día de hoy.

(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.

According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”

and David saith, 'Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;

Y David dice: Séales vuelta su mesa en lazo, y en red, y en tropezadero, y en paga:

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.

let their eyes be darkened — not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'

Sus ojos sean obscurecidos para que no vean, y agóbiales siempre el espinazo.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”

I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation †is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;

Digo pues: ¿Han tropezado para que cayesen? En ninguna manera; mas por el tropiezo de ellos vino la salud á los Gentiles, para que fuesen provocados á celos.

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.

I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

and if the fall of them †is the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?

Y si la falta de ellos es la riqueza del mundo, y el menoscabo de ellos la riqueza de los Gentiles, ¿cuánto más el henchimiento de ellos?

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?

Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

For to you I speak — to the nations — inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

Porque á vosotros hablo, Gentiles. Por cuanto pues, yo soy apóstol de los Gentiles, mi ministerio honro,

For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,

Por si en alguna manera provocase á celos á mi carne, é hiciese salvos á algunos de ellos.

If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

for if the casting away of them †is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception — if not life out of the dead?

Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos es la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué será el recibimiento de ellos, sino vida de los muertos?

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?

For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

and if the first-fruit †is holy, the lump also; and if the root †is holy, the branches also.

Y si el primer fruto es santo, también lo es el todo, y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become —

Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,

do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!

No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, sabe que no sustentas tú á la raíz, sino la raíz á ti.

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

Thou wilt say, then, 'The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!

Pues las ramas, dirás, fueron quebradas para que yo fuese ingerido.

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

Bien: por su incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pie. No te ensoberbezcas, antes teme,

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

for if God the natural branches did not spare — lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.

Que si Dios no perdonó á las ramas naturales, á ti tampoco no perdone.

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

Lo, then, goodness and severity of God — upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.

Mira, pues, la bondad y la severidad de Dios: la severidad ciertamente en los que cayeron; mas la bondad para contigo, si permanecieres en la bondad; pues de otra manera tú también serás cortado.

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.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;

Y aun ellos, si no permanecieren en incredulidad, serán ingeridos; que poderoso es Dios para volverlos á ingerir.

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who †are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?

Porque si tú eres cortado del natural acebuche, y contra natura fuiste ingerido en la buena oliva, ¿cuánto más éstos, que son las ramas naturales, serán ingeridos en su oliva?

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret — that ye may not be wise in your own conceits — that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;

Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis este misterio, para que no seáis acerca de vosotros mismos arrogantes: que el endurecimiento en parte ha acontecido en Israel, hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los Gentiles;

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.

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,

Y luego todo Israel será salvo; como está escrito: Vendrá de Sión el Libertador, que quitará de Jacob la impiedad;

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:

and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

and this to them †is the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.'

Y este es mi pacto con ellos, cuando quitare su pecados.

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

As regards, indeed, the good tidings, †they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice — beloved on account of the fathers;

Así que, cuanto al evangelio, son enemigos por causa de vosotros: mas cuanto á la elección, son muy amados por causa de los padres.

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

for unrepented of †are the gifts and the calling of God;

Porque sin arrepentimiento son las mercedes y la vocación de Dios.

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:

Porque como también vosotros en algún tiempo no creísteis á Dios, mas ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia por la incredulidad de ellos;

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;

Así también éstos ahora no han creído, para que, por la misericordia para con vosotros, ellos también alcancen misericordia.

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness.

Porque Dios encerró á todos en incredulidad, para tener misericordia de todos.

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría y de la ciencia de Dios! ¡Cuán incomprensibles son sus juicios, é inescrutables sus caminos!

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!

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

Porque ¿quién entendió la mente del Señor? ¿ó quién fué su consejero?

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

¿O quién le dió á él primero, para que le sea pagado?

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

because of Him, and through Him, and to Him †are the all things; to Him †is the glory — to the ages. Amen.

Porque de él, y por él, y en él, son todas las cosas. A él sea gloria por siglos. Amén.

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
