Rom 9
1 Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
I speak truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that
2 Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
I have great grief 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 to be myself accursed and cast out from Christ in behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen as 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; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, 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)
whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
Not as though the word of God hath failed; for not all they that are of Israel are 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.
nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but, “Thy offspring shall be reckoned from Isaac.”
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, not the children by natural descent are children of God, but the children to whom the promise is made are accounted as the offspring.
9 He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
For the word of promise is this: “At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.”
10 Te bueng pawt tih Ribekka khaw a pa Isaak bueng nen ni a. ihnah a om.
And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man, 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.
before the children were born, or had done any thing good or evil, to the end that God's purpose according to election might stand, not depending on works, but on the will of him that calleth,
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 shall serve the younger:”
13 A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
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 then shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!
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 saith to Moses, “On whom I have mercy, on him will I have mercy; and on whom I have compassion, on him will 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 dependeth not on him that willeth, nor on him that runneth, but on God who showeth 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 saith to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show forth my power in thee, and that my name might be made known in all the earth.”
18 Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and hardeneth whom he will.
19 Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
Hence thou wilt say to me, Why then doth he still find fault? for who resisteth 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?
Nay but, O man, who art thou that makest answer to God? Shall the thing that is wrought say to the workman, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Ambop loh amlai te a hlom boeiloeih dae he tah tuisi am la, ke tah am mailai la saithainah a khueh moenih a?
Hath not the potter a right out of the same lump of clay to make one vessel for an honorable use, and another for a dishonorable?
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 endured with much patience vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, purposing to manifest his wrath and to make known his power;
23 Te daengah ni amah kah thangpomnah cungkuem te rhennah am dongah a phoe sak tangloeng eh. Te ni thangpomnah la a hmoel.
purposing also to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
24 Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
whom he also called, even us, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the gentiles?
25 Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
as he also saith in Hosea, “I will call that my people, which was not my people; and her beloved, that was not beloved.
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,
And it shall be, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called sons 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.
But Isaiah crieth out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28 Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
For he is accomplishing his word and speedily fulfilling it in righteousness; for a speedily fulfilled word will the Lord execute upon 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.
And as Isaiah hath said before, “Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and 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 then shall we say? That the gentiles, who did not strive after righteousness, obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith;
31 Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
while Israel, which strove after a law of righteousness, did not attain to a law of righteousness.
32 U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
Why? Because they did not strive for it by faith, but as being by works. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling;
33 A daek vanbangla Zion ah caehkoek lungto neh thangkui lungpang ka khueh ke. Tedae amah te aka tangnah tah yahpok mahpawh.
as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame.”
