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 therefore, did God thrust away his people? May it not happen! For I also am an Israelite from 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 did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture tells by Elijah? How he encounters God about 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, and they have torn down thine altars, and I am left alone, and they seek 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 does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.
5 Te dongah tahae tue a khaw lungvatnah dongkah tueknah rhangneh hlangrhuel te om van.
So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection 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 from works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace. But if it is from works it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.
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 then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen 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.
just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day.
9 David long khaw, “Amih kah caboei te thaang neh pael la, thangkui ham neh amih kutthungnah hamla om saeh.
And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution 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, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always.
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 so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
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.
Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?
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 speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,
14 Kamah saa te bet ka thatlai sak koinih amih rhoek khuikah hlangvang khaw ka khang sue.
if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy 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 casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except 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 fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.
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 were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the 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.
do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do 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 will therefore say, Branches were broken off so 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.
Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by 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 not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare 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 therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will 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 also those, 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 were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.
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 do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles 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 so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.
27 He tah amih kah tholh ka khoe vaengah amih ham aka om kai taengkah paipi ni.
And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.
28 Olthangthen ah nangmih rhangneh rhal la om uh ngawn dae tueknah dongah a pa rhoek rhangneh thintlo rhoek ni.
They are indeed enemies toward the good news for your sake, but toward selection, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
29 Pathen kah kutdoe neh khuenah tah khangmai coeng.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Pathen taengah ol na aek noek bangla a althanah dongah n'rhen uh coeng.
For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,
31 Tahae kah rhoek long khaw a aek uh van. Nangmih n'rhennah nen ni amih khaw a rhen pawn eh.
so also now these have been disobedient for thy mercy, so that they also may receive mercy.
For God has confined all men in disobedience, so that he might be merciful to 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 wealth, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond finding out!
34 Boeipa kah lungbuei aka ming te unim, amah kah baerhoep la aka om te unim?
For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counselor?
35 Anih te koep sah hamla u lae Boeipa aka pae lamhma?
Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?
