Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1I 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.
1我且說，上帝棄絕了他的百姓嗎？斷乎沒有！因為我也是 以色列 人， 亞伯拉罕 的後裔，屬 便雅憫 支派的。
2God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
2上帝並沒有棄絕他預先所知道的百姓。你們豈不曉得經上論到 以利亞 是怎麼說的呢？他在上帝面前怎樣控告 以色列 人說：
3Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
3「主啊，他們殺了你的先知，拆了你的祭壇，只剩下我一個人；他們還要尋索我的命。」
4But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
4上帝的回話是怎麼說的呢？ 他說 ：「我為自己留下七千人，是未曾向 巴力 屈膝的。」
5Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
5如今也是這樣，照着揀選的恩典，還有所留的餘數。
6And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
6既是出於恩典，就不在乎行為；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。
7What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
7這是怎麼樣呢？ 以色列 人所求的，他們沒有得着。惟有蒙揀選的人得着了；其餘的就成了頑梗不化的。
8As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
8如 經上 所記： 上帝給他們昏迷的心， 眼睛不能看見， 耳朵不能聽見， 直到今日。
9And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
9大衛 也說： 願他們的筵席變為網羅，變為機檻， 變為絆腳石，作他們的報應。
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
10願他們的眼睛昏矇，不得看見； 願你時常彎下他們的腰。
11I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
11我且說，他們失腳是要他們跌倒嗎？斷乎不是！反倒因他們的過失，救恩便臨到外邦人，要激動他們發憤。
12Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
12若他們的過失為天下的富足，他們的缺乏為外邦人的富足，何況他們的豐滿呢？
13For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
13我對你們外邦人說這話；因我是外邦人的使徒，所以敬重我的職分，
14If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14或者可以激動我骨肉之親發憤，好救他們一些人。
15For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
15若他們被丟棄，天下就得 與上帝 和好，他們被收納，豈不是死而復生嗎？
16For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
16所獻的新麵若是聖潔，全團也就聖潔了；樹根若是聖潔，樹枝也就聖潔了。
17And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
17若有幾根枝子被折下來，你這野橄欖得接在其中，一同得着橄欖根的肥汁，
18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18你就不可向 舊 枝子誇口；若是誇口， 當知道 不是你托着根，乃是根托着你。
19Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
19你若說，那枝子被折下來是特為叫我接上。
20Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
20不錯！他們因為不信，所以被折下來；你因為信，所以立得住；你不可自高，反要懼怕。
21For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
21上帝既不愛惜原來的枝子，也必不愛惜你。
22See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22可見，上帝的恩慈和嚴厲向那跌倒的人是嚴厲的，向你是有恩慈的，只要你長久在他的恩慈裏；不然，你也要被砍下來。
23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
23而且他們若不是長久不信，仍要被接上，因為上帝能夠把他們重新接上。
24For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24你是從那天生的野橄欖上砍下來的，尚且逆着性得接在好橄欖上，何況這本樹的枝子，要接在本樹上呢！
25For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
25弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道這奧祕（恐怕你們自以為聰明），就是 以色列 人有幾分是硬心的，等到外邦人的數目添滿了，
26And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26於是 以色列 全家都要得救。如 經上 所記： 必有一位救主從 錫安 出來， 要消除 雅各 家的一切罪惡；
27And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
27又 說 ：我除去他們罪的時候， 這就是我與他們所立的約。
28As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
28就着福音說，他們為你們的緣故是仇敵；就着揀選說，他們為列祖的緣故是蒙愛的。
29For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
29因為上帝的恩賜和選召是沒有後悔的。
30For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
30你們從前不順服上帝，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐恤。
31So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
31這樣，他們也是不順服，叫他們因着施給你們的憐恤，現在也就蒙憐恤。
32For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
32因為上帝將眾人都圈在不順服之中，特意要憐恤眾人。
33O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
33深哉，上帝豐富的智慧和知識！ 他的判斷何其難測！ 他的蹤跡何其難尋！
34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
34誰知道主的心？ 誰作過他的謀士呢？
35Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
35誰是先給了他， 使他後來償還呢？
36For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
36因為萬有都是本於他， 倚靠他，歸於他。 願榮耀歸給他，直到永遠。阿們！
