CHAPTER 11

1

λεγω

ουν

μη

απωσατο

ο

θεος

τον

λαον

αυτου

μη

I say

then,

♦

Did thrust 2 away 3

♦

God 1

his people?

♦

♦

May it not be!

γενοιτο

και

γαρ

εγω

ισραηλιτης

ειμι

εκ

σπερματος

αβρααμ

♦

For also

♦

I

an Israelite

am,

of [the]

seed

of Abraham,

φυλης		βενιαμιν
of [the] tribe		of Benjamin.

2

ουκ

απωσατο

ο

θεος

τον

λαον

αυτου

ον

προεγνω

Did 2 not 3 thrust 4 away 5

♦

♦

God 1

his people,

♦

♦

whom

he foreknew.

η

ουκ

οιδατε

εν

ηλια

τι

λεγει

η

γραφη

ως

♦

Know ye not

♦

in [the history of]

Elias

what

says

the

scripture?

how

εντυγχανει

τω

θεω

κατα

του

ισραηλ

λεγων

he pleads

♦

with God

against

♦

Israel,

saying,

3

κυριε

τους

προφητας

σου

απεκτειναν

και

τα

θυσιαστηρια

Lord,

thy prophets

♦

♦

they killed

and

thine altars

♦

σου

κατεσκαψαν

καγω

υπελειφθην

μονος

και

ζητουσιν

την

ψυχην

μου

♦

they dug down;

and I

was left

alone,

and

they seek

my life.

♦

♦

4

αλλα

τι

λεγει

αυτω

ο

χρηματισμος

κατελιπον

εμαυτω

But

what

says

to him

the

divine answer?

I left

to myself

επτακισχιλιους

ανδρας

οιτινες

ουκ

εκαμψαν

γονυ

τη

βααλ

seven thousand

men

who

bowed not

♦

a knee

♦

to Baal.

5

ουτως

ουν

και

εν

τω

νυν

λειμμα

κατ

εκλογην

χαριτος

Thus

then

also

in

the

present

time

a remnant

according to

election

of grace

γεγονεν
there has been.

6

ει

δε

χαριτι

ουκετι

εξ

εργων

επει

η

χαρις

ουκετι

γινεται

χαρις

ει

But if

♦

by grace,

no longer

of

works;

else

♦

grace

no longer

becomes

grace;

but if

δε

εξ

εργων

ουκετι

εστιν

χαρις

επει

το

εργον

ουκετι

εργον

♦

of

works,

no longer

is it

grace;

else

♦

work

no longer

is

work.

7

τι

ουν

ο

επιζητει

ισραηλ

τουτου

ουκ

επετυχεν

What

then?

What

seeks 2 for 3

Israel, 1

this

it did not obtain;

♦

η

δε

εκλογη

επετυχεν

οι

δε

λοιποι

επωρωθησαν

but the election

♦

obtained [it],

and the

♦

rest

were hardened,

8

καθως

according as

it has been written,

Gave

them

God

a spirit

of slumber,

David

says,

Let be

table 2

their 1

for

a snare,

for

a trap,

και

εις

and

for

cause of offence,

and

for

a recompense

to them:

10

let be darkened

their eyes

so as not

their back		♦		♦		continually		bow thou down.

11

λεγω

I say

then,

Did they stumble

that

they might fall?

May it not be!
