Rom 9
1 Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Ghost,
2 Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain 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 anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen 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 [of God], 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 of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. 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 hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, which 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 seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed 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 that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
9 He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I 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 Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by 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 [the children] 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 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 unto her, The elder shall 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 shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
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, 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 that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath 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 unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might shew in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad 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 whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth 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 repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make 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?
Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
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 shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto 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 upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
24 Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, which 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 unto 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.
And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28 Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
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, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto 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 shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not 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.
Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at 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.
even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
