罗马书 11:1 · Romans 11:1
我且说, 上帝弃绝了他的百姓吗? 上帝断乎没有。因为我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的後裔,属便雅悯支派的。
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.

我且说, 上帝弃绝了他的百姓吗? 上帝断乎没有。因为我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的後裔,属便雅悯支派的。
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.
上帝并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓。你们岂不晓得圣经上论到以利亚是怎麽说的呢?他在 上帝面前怎样控告以色列说:
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,
「 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。」
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
上帝的回话是怎麽说的呢?他说:「我为自己留下七千人,是未曾向巴力的像屈膝的。」
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.
如今也是这样,照着拣选的恩典,还有所留的馀数。
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
既是出於恩典,就不在乎行为;不然,恩典就不是恩典了;若是靠着行为,就不在乎恩典;不然,行为就不是行为了。
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.
这是怎麽样呢?以色列所求的,他们没有得着;唯有蒙拣选的人得着了,其馀的就成了瞎眼的
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
(如经上所记:「 上帝给他们打盹的灵,叫他们眼睛不能看见,耳朵不能听见;)直到今日。
(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.
大卫也说:「愿他们的筵席变为网罗,变为机槛,变为绊脚石,作他们的报应。
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
愿他们的眼睛昏蒙,不得看见;愿他们的腰时常弯下。」
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
我且说,他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗? 上帝断乎不是。反倒因他们的过失,救恩便临到外邦人,要激动他们发愤。
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.
若他们的过失,为世上的富足,他们的衰减,为外邦人的富足;何况他们的丰满呢?
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?
我对你们外邦人说这话;因我是外邦人的使徒,所以尊我的职分为大,
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤,好救他们一些人。
If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
若他们被丢弃,世界就得与 上帝和好;他们被收纳,岂不是死而复生吗?
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?
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。
For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
若有几根枝子被折下来,你这野橄榄枝得接在其中,一同得着橄榄根的肥汁,
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;
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。
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
你若说,那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上。
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
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。
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
上帝既不爱惜原来的枝子,就当谨慎,免得他也不爱惜你。
For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
可见 上帝的恩慈和严厉,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。
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.
而且他们若不是长久不信,仍要被接上,因为 上帝能够把他们从新接上。
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
你是从那天生的野橄榄树上砍下来的,尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄树上,何况这本树的枝子,要接在本树上呢。
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?
弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘,恐怕你们自以为聪明;就是以色列有几分是瞎眼的,等到外邦人的数目添满了。
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.
於是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记:必有一个救主从锡安出来,要消除雅各家的一切罪恶;
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:
又说:「我除去他们罪的时候,这就是我与他们所立的约。」
For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
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。
As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes.
因为 上帝的恩赐和选召是没有後悔的。
For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
你们从前不信 上帝,如今因他们的不信,你们倒蒙了怜恤。
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
这样,现在他们也是不信,叫他们藉你们的怜恤,也就蒙怜恤。
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
因为 上帝将众人都圈在不信之中,特意要怜恤众人。
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
深哉, 上帝丰富的智慧和知识啊。他的判断何其难测。他的踪迹何其难寻。
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!
谁知道 主的心?谁作过他的谋士呢?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
谁是先给了他,使他後来偿还呢?
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
因为一切都是本於他,倚靠他,归於他。愿荣耀归给他,直到永远。阿们。
For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen.
