< 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.
Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2 Tedae tebang khosa rhoek soah Pathen kah laitloeknah loh oltak ningla a om te m'ming uh.
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
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?
Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape 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 goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads 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.
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
6 Amah loh pakhat rhip he a bibi tarhing la a thuung ni.
who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7 Bibi then kah uehnah nen ngawn tah thangpomnah, hinyahnah, aka nguel dungyan hingnah ni a toem uh. (aiōnios )
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios )
8 Te phoeiah koevoeinah neh oltak te a aek tih boethae la aka caemtuh tah kosi neh thinsanah,
but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9 phacip phabaem neh citcai te lamhma ah Judah, te phoeiah Greek neh boethae aka thoeng sak hlang kah hinglu boeih soah tla ni.
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Tedae thangpomnah, hinyahnah neh ngaimongnah tah boethen aka saii boeih neh lamhma la Judah, te phoeiah Greek taengah om ni.
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
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 as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13 Olkhueng aka yakung rhoek loh Pathen taengah dueng pawt tih, olkhueng aka vai ni a tang eh.
For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
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 don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the 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.
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing 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, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17 Tedae namah loh Judah na ti atah, olkhueng na pangtung tih Pathen dongah na pomsang.
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 A kongaih te na ming tih olkhueng neh n'thuituen vaengah a tanglue te na soepboe.
know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being 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 guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 Aka ang rhoek hlinsaikung neh cahmang rhoek kah saya, mingnah lungsak neh olkhueng dongah oltak te na dang tih,
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21 Hlang tloe aka thuituen tangloeng loh namah na thuituen uh mahnim? Huen pawt ham aka hoe loh na huen nama?
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22 Samphaih boeh aka ti loh na samphaih, mueirhol aka tuei loh bawkim te na muk nama?
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Olkhueng dongah aka pomsang loh boekoeknah neh olkhueng rhangneh Pathen te yah na bai.
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying 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 blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
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.
For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Te dongah pumdul loh olkhueng kah rhilam rhoek te a tuem atah anih kah pumdul te yahvinrhetnah la nawt mahpawt nim?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as 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.
Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28 Judah hlang a mingpha la om he moenih. Pumsa ah aka mingpha yahvinrhetnah te moenih.
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is 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 he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
