Rom 9
1 Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
3 Te dongah pumsa ah ka huiko ka manuca rhoek yueng la kamah rhoe Khrih lamloh ka paek uh vetih kosi yook ham ka thangthui.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
4 Amih tah Israel rhoek ni, cacah neh thangpomnah khaw, paipi rhoek neh olrhinah khaw, thothuengnah khaw, olkhueh khaw amih kah ni.
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;
5 A napa rhoek neh amih lamkah ni Khrih te pumsa ah ha thoeng. A cungkuem soah aka om Pathen tah kumhal ah uemom pai saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
7 Abraham kah tiingan la a om uh dongah a ca boeih pawt dae Isaak ah na tiingan la a khue ni a ti ta.
Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
8 Te tah pumsa kah camoe la aka om pawt rhoek tah Pathen kah a ca rhoek la om. Tedae olkhueh kah ca rhoek tah a tiingan la a nawt.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
9 He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
10 Te bueng pawt tih Ribekka khaw a pa Isaak bueng nen ni a. ihnah a om.
And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
11 A cun hlan tih thae then pakhat khaw a saii uh moenih. Te daengah ni a. coelh bangla Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a naeh eh.
For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
12 Khoboe dongah pawt tih a khue rhangnen ni anih te, “Tanglue loh mathoe kah sal a bi ni,” a ti nah.
it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
13 A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 Te koinih balae n'ti eh? Pathen he boethae pawt nim? Tlamte a om moenih.
What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
15 Moses te, “Ka rhen tangtae te tah ka rhen bal vetih ka sitloh tangtae te tah sitloh bal ni,” a ti nah.
For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 Te dongah aka ngaih kah pawt tih aka yong kah tangloeng moenih. Tedae Pathen kah a rhen rhoek kah ni.
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
17 Cacim loh Pharaoh te, “Nang te amah la kan pacuet. Te daengah ni ka thaomnah te nang ah ka phoe eh. Te daengah ni diklai pum ah ka ming a doek eh?,” a ti nah.
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
18 Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
19 Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
20 Aw u hlang nang dae nim Pathen te oelh la naka om, a saii hno loh aka hlom aka bol kung te, “Balae tih kai nan saii van?” na ti nah pawt nim?
But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
21 Ambop loh amlai te a hlom boeiloeih dae he tah tuisi am la, ke tah am mailai la saithainah a khueh moenih a?
Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
22 Tedae Pathen loh a kosi sah ham neh a tatthai te phoe sak ham a ngaih. pocinah ham a hmoel kosi am te thinsennah neh muep ueh koinih ta?
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
23 Te daengah ni amah kah thangpomnah cungkuem te rhennah am dongah a phoe sak tangloeng eh. Te ni thangpomnah la a hmoel.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
24 Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
25 Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, 'loved.'"
26 Te vaengah amih te, 'Nangmih he ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah aka hing Pathen kah a ca rhoek la khue la om ni,” a ti van bangla,
"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
27 Isaiah long tah Israel ham, “Israel ca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om cakhaw a meet ni a. daem eh.
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
28 Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness; because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth."
29 Te dongah Isaiah loh a thui vanbangla caempuei Boeipa loh mamih kah tiingan he hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla n'om uh vetih Gomorrah neh n'thuidoek uh ni.
As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."
30 Te phoeiah balae n'thui eh? Duengnah aka hnuktlak pawh namtom rhoek loh duengnah a rhawt. Tedae duengnah tangnah nen ni a dang.
What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
32 U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
33 A daek vanbangla Zion ah caehkoek lungto neh thangkui lungpang ka khueh ke. Tedae amah te aka tangnah tah yahpok mahpawh.
even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
