Rom 1

1 Jesuh Khrih kah sal, caeltueih la a khue tih Pathen kah olthangthen ham a coelh kai Paul,

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,

2 Cabu cim khuiah amah kah tonghma rhoek lamloh ol a khueh tangtae,

which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,

3 A capa kawng tah pumsa ah David kah a tiingan lamkah ha thoeng.

who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,

4 Mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih tah, aka duek kah thohkoepnah lamloh cimcaihnah mueihla tarhing la thaomnah dongah Pathen capa la a hmoel coeng.

but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 Anih dongah lungvatnah neh a ming yueng la namtom boeih taengah tangnah kah olngainah caeltueih te n'dang uh.

through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,

6 Te rhoek lakli ah nangmih khaw Jesuh Khrih kah a khue la na om uh.

among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

7 Rom ah aka om tih Pathen kah thintlo, hlangcim la a khue rhoek boeih, nangmih taengah mamih kah Pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamkah ngaimongnah neh lungvatnah soep saeh.

To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Nangmih kah tangnah te diklai boeih ah a doek uh dongah nangmih boeih ham Jesuh Khrih lamloh ka Pathen te lamhma la ka uem.

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

9 Pathen tah kai ham laipai la om. Amah te a capa kah olthangthen dongah ka mueihla neh tho ka thueng. Te vanbangla nangmih poekkoepnah te ka thangthuinah dongah phat ka khueh yoeyah.

I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

10 Pathen kah kongaih neh nangmih taengah pawk ham vai vai tah bet khui koinih kana ti.

always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

11 Nangmih aka duel la mueihla kutdoe te nangmih taengah ka pak bet ham ni nangmih te hmuh ham ka rhingda.

For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

12 Nangmih neh kai kah tangnah he nangmih taeng khat khat soah aka hloephloei la om.

in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

13 Manuca rhoek nangmih te mangvawt sak laeh ka ngaih moenih. Te ni nangmih taengla lo ham ka cai ninoe he. Tedae tahae hil he n'kang pueng. Te daengah ni nangmih taengah khaw, a tloe namtom rhoek taengah khaw a thaih pakhat la ka om van eh.

And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

14 Greek rhoek neh kholong rhoek taengah, aka cueih neh aka ang taengah, laiba ka khueh.

I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

15 Te dongah ni Rom kah nangmih taengah khaw phong ham ka yakvawt.

so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 Olthangthen ham he ka yak pawh. Te tah Pathen kah thaomnah neh aka tangnah boeih ham tah lamhma ah Judah neh Greek ham khaw khangnah la om.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

17 “Hlang dueng tah tangnah loh a hing sak ni,” tila a daek. Te dongah Pathen kah duengnah tah tangnah lamloh tangnah dongah pumphoe coeng.

For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

18 Pathen kah kosi tah oltak boethae neh aka vueinan hlang rhoek kah boethae neh hlangrhong boeih soah vaan lamloh pumphoe coeng.

For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

19 Pathen tah amih taengah a phoe pah coeng dongah te nen te amih taengah mingpha la aka om Pathen te hmat saeh.

because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

20 Diklai suentae lamkah a kutngo hmuhmueh te phaeng a tueng la n'yakming. A thaomnah neh Pathen a coengnah tah dungyan la om. Te dongah amih te basa tloel la om. (aïdios g126)

For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Pathen te a ming uh dae Pathen bangla thangpom uh pawt tih uem uh pawh. Tedae a poeknah dongah moelh uh tih a thinko lungmong kotalh la hmuep coeng.

For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

22 Hlang cueih la om ham cai uh dae dap uh coeng.

While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,

23 Pathen taengkah aka kuei thangpomnah te, aka hmawn thai hlang, vaa, rhamsa neh rhulcai kah mueimae, mueisa la a thovael uh.

and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

24 Te dongah Pathen loh amih te amamih neh amamih a pum te yahbai ham amih kah thinko hoehhamnah dongah rhongingnah taengla a paek coeng.

For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

25 Amih loh Pathen kah oltak te laithae neh a thovael uh. Te dongah aka suen lakah a suentae te tho a thueng thil uh tih a bawk uh. Amah tah kumhal ah uemom la om pai. Amen. (aiōn g165)

For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Te dongah Pathen loh amih te rhaidaeng kah a huebawtnah dongla a voeih. Huta long khaw a pongthohnah aka omnoek te aka omnoek neh a kingkalh la a thovael uh coeng.

This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

27 Te banghui la tongpa rhoek long khaw huta neh pongthohnah aka omnoek te a hlahpham uh. Pakhat taengah a kocuknah neh a cahoeh uh dongah tongpa neh tongpa rhaidaeng la thoeng uh. Te dongah a tholhhiknah neh a kuek dantatnah te a yook uh.

in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

28 A mingnah khuiah Pathen te khaw om sak ham a soepsoei uh pawt vanbangla Pathen loh amih te lungbuei a lolhmaih la a khueh pah. Te dongah saii ham koi te khaw khuetnet uh pawh.

And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

29 Boethae, halangnah, phayoenah, halhkanah, boeih neh baetawt uh tih uethnetnah, ngawnnah, tohhaemnah, tuengkhuepnah, kothetnah, hlangthetkung khaw bae.

Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

30 Hohmuh, Pathen aka thii nah, hnaephnapkung, buhueng aka pom, hlangoek, boethae aka phuengkung, a manu napa taengah aka lokhak,

They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

31 lungmong rhoek, olpok rhoek, kotalh rhoek, muenying muenyang la om uh.

faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.

32 Te bang khosa rhoek te a duek uh tueng tila Pathen kah rhilam a ming uh lalah amamih bueng kah a saii bueng kolla te bang aka saii rhoek te khaw a rhoi uh.

In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
