Rom 10

1 Khatben ah manuca rhoek, khangnah ham amih yueng Pathen taengah ka thinko kah kolonah tah rhenbihnah ni.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

2 Pathen kah kohlopnah a khueh uh te amih ham ka phong pah. Tedae mingnah nen moenih.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

3 Pathen kah duengnah vik te a mangvawt uh tih amah kah duengnah thoh ham ni a toem uh. Te dongah Pathen kah duengnah dongah boe a ngai uh moenih.

For being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.

4 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih te duengnah ham olkhueng kah a bawtnah tah Khrih ni.

For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

5 Moses loh olkhueng kah duengnah kawng te a daek coeng. Te tla a saii daengah ni hlang loh te nen te a hing eh.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall live by them."

6 Tedae tangnah kah duengnah loh, “Na thinko ah, 'Unim Vaan la aka luei eh? Te tah Khrih aka khuen la om.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or,

7 Te phoeiah, 'Unim tangrhom dung la aka suntla eh? Te duek lamkah hang khuen ham tila Khrih ni, 'ti boeh,” a ti tangloeng. (Abyssos g12)

who shall descend into the deep, (that is, to (Abyssos g12)

8 Tedae balae n'ti lah eh? Olka te na taengah, na ka ah, na thinko ah om. Tekah aka om tangnah olka la ka hoe uh te.

bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

9 Boeipa Jesuh te na ka neh na phong tih duek lamkah anih aka thoh Pathen te na thinko ah na tangnah atah na daem ni.

and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 Thinko neh a tangnah te duengnah la, ka neh a phong te khangnah la om.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 Te dongah cacim loh, “Amah te aka tangnah boeih tah yahpok mahpawh.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him, shall not be ashamed.

12 Judah neh Greek laklo ah hlihloehnah a om moenih. Boeipa amah tah hlang boeih kah ni. Amah aka phoei rhoek boeih taengah a khuehtawn sak.

For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him.

13 Te dongah boeipa ming aka khue boeih te tah daem ni.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 Tedae a tangnah uh mueh la amah te metlam a khue uh eh? A yaak uh mueh la amah te metlam a tangnah uh eh? A hoe mueh la metlam a yaak uh eh?

But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 A tueih uh pawt atah metlam a hoe uh eh? A daek vanbangla hnothen te aka phong rhoek kah a kho tah sawtthen tangkik.

and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things?

16 Tedae olthangthen te hlang boeih loh a ngai uh moenih. Isaiah loh, “Boeipa kaimih kah olthang he u long a tangnah,” a ti.

But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

17 Te dongah tangnah tah hnavue lamloh, hnavue tah Khrih kah olka lamloh ha om.

So that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 Tedae, “A yaak uh moenih a?” ka ti. Amih kah oldi loh diklai pum la cet tih, amih kah olka loh lunglai a bawtnah due a pha.

But I say, Have they not heard? Verily their sound is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

19 Tedae, “Israel loh ming pawt nim?” ka ti. Moses loh lamhma la, “Kai tah namtom pawt nen khaw nangmih kan thatlai thil ni. Lungmong namtom rhangneh nangmih kan sai sak ni,” a ti.

But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"

20 Te dongah Isaiah tah a rhalthen tih, “Kai aka toem pawt rhoek loh m'hmuh tih kai aka dawt pawt rhoek taengah aka phoe la ka om,” a ti.

and Esaias positively affirms, "I was found of them that sought me not, I was made manifest to them that asked not after me:"

21 Te phoeiah Israel taengah, “Ka kut te hnin at puet pilnam ol aek neh boekoek taengah ka phuel coeng,” a ti nah.

and saith to Israel, "All the day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people."
