Rom 11
1 Pathen loh a pilnam te a tueihno moenih ka ti. Te tlamte om mahpawh. Kai khaw, Israel hlang, Abraham kah tiingan lamkah Benjamin koca ni.
I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Pathen loh a ming oepsoep a pilnam te a tueihno moenih. Cacim loh a thui te Elijah te na ming moenih a? Pathen taengah Israel ham a huithui pah te?
God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel:
3 “Boeipa, nang kah tonghma rhoek te a ngawn uh, na hmueihtuk te a palet uh, kai bueng n'hlun uh dae ka hinglu te a mae uh,” a ti.
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.”
4 Tedae Pathen ol loh anih te, “Baal taengah khuklu aka cungkueng pawh hlang thawngrhih te kamah ham ka paih pueng,” a ti nah te ta.
But what saith the answer of God to him? “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Te dongah tahae tue a khaw lungvatnah dongkah tueknah rhangneh hlangrhuel te om van.
In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.
6 Tedae lungvatnah nen pawt tih khoboe nen koinih lungvatnah tah lungvatnah la om mahpawh.
And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?
7 Te koinih balae tih a tlap te Israel loh a dang pawt he. Tedae a tuek loh a dang vaengah a tloe rhoek tah mangkhak uh.
What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
8 A daek bangla amih te Pathen loh mutu mueihla a paek. Tihnin khohnin due rhoe la mik te tueng pawt tih hna te khaw a khui pah moenih.
as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day.”
9 David long khaw, “Amih kah caboei te thaang neh pael la, thangkui ham neh amih kutthungnah hamla om saeh.
And David saith, “Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them;
10 Hmuh pawt ham a mik tah hmuep saeh lamtah amih kah cinghen pum te phueih khuun saeh.
let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway.”
11 Ka thui koinih, a paloe ham a tongtah uh moenih a? Te tlamte om pawt suidae amih kah tholhdalhnah lamloh namtom rhoek ham khangnah om vetih amih thatlai sak ham ni.
I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation.
12 Tedae amih kah tholhdalhnah te Diklai kah khuehtawn la, a hloonah tah namtom kah khuehtawn la om koinih a soepnah aisat te metlam muep a om eh.
But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?
13 Nangmih namtom te ka thui coeng. A cungkuem dongah kai tah namtom rhoek kah caeltueih la ka om tangloeng tih ka bibinah te ka thangpom.
For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office,
14 Kamah saa te bet ka thatlai sak koinih amih rhoek khuikah hlangvang khaw ka khang sue.
that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Amih kah hnawtnah te Diklai kah moeithennah la a om atah a doenah taoe te duek lamkah hingnah moenih a?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead?
16 Thaihcuek loh a cim coeng atah a hlom te khaw cim. A yung te a cim atah a hlaeng te khaw cim.
And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches.
17 Tedae a hlaeng te bet a saih tih oliverhol la aka om nang khaw te dongah n'cong atah a yung kah laimen te a bawn dongah olive la poeh.
And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olive-tree,
18 A hlaeng dongah koevoei boeh. Tedae na koevoei koinih nang loh a yung te na phuei pawt tih a yung long ni nang m'phueih.
boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.
19 Te vaengah, “A hlaeng a saih uh daengah kai n'cong eh?, “na ti bitni.
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Thuem ngawn ta, hnalvalnah te saih uh cakhaw nang tah tangnah neh pai. Aka sang koek la ngai uh boel lamtah birhih.
Be it so. It was for their unbelief that they were broken off, and thou standest through thy faith; be not high-minded, but fear.
21 Pathen loh a hlaeng tang pataeng a hlun pawt atah nang te bet n'hlun mai mahpawh.
For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.
22 Te dongah Pathen kah rhennah neh a tlungthang te poek lah. A tlungthang loh aka bung rhoek te a tlak thil. Tedae nangmih te Pathen kah rhennah loh a tlak thil om. Rhennah te na oei coeng atah nang khaw vik m'vung ve ne.
Behold then the goodness and the severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.
23 Te rhoek khaw hnalvalnah te a oei thil uh pawt mak atah a cong bitni. Pathen tah amih koep cong ham yoeikoek la om mai.
And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Nang te olive rhol kah a coengnah dong lamloh n'saih tih a coengnah te olive tang dongla n'cong atah amih ngai aisat a coengnah bangla olive amah dongla a cong ni ta.
For if thou hast been cut off from an olive-tree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olive-tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olive-stock?
25 Manuca rhoek he olhuep soah na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih. Te daengah ni aka cueih loh amah la na om uh pawt eh. Cungvang ah thinthahnah loh namtom taengah a hah la a kun hlanah Israel taengah om coeng te.
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.
26 Te dongah Israel tah boeih a khang tangloeng ni. a daek vanbangla aka hlawt kung tah Zion lamkah ha pawk vetih Jakob lamkah hlangrhong te a palet ni.
And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 He tah amih kah tholh ka khoe vaengah amih ham aka om kai taengkah paipi ni.
And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins.”
28 Olthangthen ah nangmih rhangneh rhal la om uh ngawn dae tueknah dongah a pa rhoek rhangneh thintlo rhoek ni.
In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but in regard to God's choice, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
29 Pathen kah kutdoe neh khuenah tah khangmai coeng.
For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.
30 Pathen taengah ol na aek noek bangla a althanah dongah n'rhen uh coeng.
For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
31 Tahae kah rhoek long khaw a aek uh van. Nangmih n'rhennah nen ni amih khaw a rhen pawn eh.
so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.
For God delivered up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Aw Pathen kah a cueihnah neh a mingnah tah boktlap la coih tih dung mai mah oe. Metlam mai lae a laitloeknah te m'mangvawt tih a caehlong te m'phavawt sut.
O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!
34 Boeipa kah lungbuei aka ming te unim, amah kah baerhoep la aka om te unim?
For “who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?”
35 Anih te koep sah hamla u lae Boeipa aka pae lamhma?
or “who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?”
