Rom 2

1 Hlang boeih lai aka tloek aw basa tloel la na om coeng, hlang tloe te me nen lae lai na tloek. Amah te tla kho na boe tih lai aka tloek tah namah na boe coeng.

You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.

2 Tedae tebang khosa rhoek soah Pathen kah laitloeknah loh oltak ningla a om te m'ming uh.

"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?

3 He he na thuep dae a? Aw nang hlang tebang khosak neh aka saii tih amih soah lai aka tloek, te nen a Pathen kah laitloeknah te na poenghal eh?

Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?

4 Amah kah rhennah neh a uehnah, thinsennah aka soep te nim na sit? Yutnah dongah nang aka mawt ham Pathen kah a kodam te na mangvawt nim.

Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?

5 Tedae na mangkhaknah neh thinko a cailak vanbangla kosi khohnin kah kosi neh Pathen kah laitloeknah dongah pumphoenah ni na tung coeng.

In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

6 Amah loh pakhat rhip he a bibi tarhing la a thuung ni.

For He will render to every man according to his works;

7 Bibi then kah uehnah nen ngawn tah thangpomnah, hinyahnah, aka nguel dungyan hingnah ni a toem uh. (aiōnios g166)

eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (aiōnios g166)

8 Te phoeiah koevoeinah neh oltak te a aek tih boethae la aka caemtuh tah kosi neh thinsanah,

but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.

9 phacip phabaem neh citcai te lamhma ah Judah, te phoeiah Greek neh boethae aka thoeng sak hlang kah hinglu boeih soah tla ni.

Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;

10 Tedae thangpomnah, hinyahnah neh ngaimongnah tah boethen aka saii boeih neh lamhma la Judah, te phoeiah Greek taengah om ni.

but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

11 Pathen taengah maelhmai sawtnah a om moenih.

For there is no partiality with God.

12 Aka tholh khungrhap boeih tah khungrhap la poci van vetih olkhueng hmuiah aka tholh rhoek boeih tah olkhueng loh lai a tloek pah ni.

For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.

13 Olkhueng aka yakung rhoek loh Pathen taengah dueng pawt tih, olkhueng aka vai ni a tang eh.

For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.

14 Namtom rhoek loh olkhueng a khueh uh pawt vaengah a coengnah neh olkhueng te a vai uh. Amih loh olkhueng la khueh uh pawt cakhaw amih taengah olkhueng la om coeng.

For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

15 Amih thinko ah a tarhit olkhueng kah khoboe te amamih loh a phoe. Amamih kah mingcimnah neh pakhat kah poeknah laklo ah a mingpuei tih paelnaeh uh thae, huul uh thae.

For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

16 Jesuh Khrih rhangneh kai kah olthangthen bangla hlang rhoek kah olhuep te Pathen loh lai a tloek khohnin ah tueng ni.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

17 Tedae namah loh Judah na ti atah, olkhueng na pangtung tih Pathen dongah na pomsang.

Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,

18 A kongaih te na ming tih olkhueng neh n'thuituen vaengah a tanglue te na soepboe.

and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

19 Namah neh namah te na uep na tih mawtkung mikdael rhoek, yinnah khuiah vangnah la om ham,

and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,

20 Aka ang rhoek hlinsaikung neh cahmang rhoek kah saya, mingnah lungsak neh olkhueng dongah oltak te na dang tih,

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

21 Hlang tloe aka thuituen tangloeng loh namah na thuituen uh mahnim? Huen pawt ham aka hoe loh na huen nama?

You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?

22 Samphaih boeh aka ti loh na samphaih, mueirhol aka tuei loh bawkim te na muk nama?

You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?

23 Olkhueng dongah aka pomsang loh boekoeknah neh olkhueng rhangneh Pathen te yah na bai.

You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

24 Nangmih kongah ni Pathen kah ming tah namtom taengah a daek tangtae vanbangla a soehsal uh.

For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.

25 Olkhueng te na hingpuei atah yahvinrhetnah khaw hoeikhang ngawn dae olkhueng dongah boekoekkung la na om atah nang kah yahvinrhetnah te pumdul la poeh.

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

26 Te dongah pumdul loh olkhueng kah rhilam rhoek te a tuem atah anih kah pumdul te yahvinrhetnah la nawt mahpawt nim?

So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

27 A coengnah dongah pumdul dae olkhueng aka soep sak loh, cabu neh yahvinrhetnah rhangneh olkhueng dongkah boekoekkung nang te lai han tloek ni.

And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

28 Judah hlang a mingpha la om he moenih. Pumsa ah aka mingpha yahvinrhetnah te moenih.

For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;

29 Tedae a olhuep dongkah Judah hlang ni a ti. Te phoeiah cabu nen pawt tih mueihla ah thinko yahvinrhetnah ni a ti. Anih kah thangthennah tah hlang lamkah pawt tih Pathen taeng lamkah ni.

but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
