Rom 9
1 Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,
2 Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
That I have great sorrow and unceasing grief 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 myself to be accursed from Christ, for my brethren, 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, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, 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)
to whom belong the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, as it respects the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
It is not possible that the word of God has failed; for they are not all Israel who 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.
Nor, because they are the posterity of Abraham, are they all children: but in Isaac shall your posterity 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, the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the posterity.
9 He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
For the word of the promise is this: At this time 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.
Not only so, but when Rebecca had conceived by one, even 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.
(the children, indeed, having not yet been born, and having done neither good nor evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls, )
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 to her: The elder shall serve the younger;
13 A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
as it is written: Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 Te koinih balae n'ti eh? Pathen he boethae pawt nim? Tlamte a om moenih.
What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with. God? It can not be.
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 says to Moses: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy; and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.
16 Te dongah aka ngaih kah pawt tih aka yong kah tangloeng moenih. Tedae Pathen kah a rhen rhoek kah ni.
Therefore, it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows 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 says to Pharaoh: For this very purpose have I raised you up, that I may show in you my power, and that my name may be published in all the earth.
18 Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
Therefore, he has mercy on whom he wills to have mercy: and whom he wills to harden, he hardens.
19 Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
You will then say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted 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?
No, but rather, O man, who are you that dispute with God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed, it, Why have you made 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?
Has not the potter power over the clay, to make from the same mass one vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
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, then, if God, intending to show his wrath, and to make his power known, yet, in much long-suffering bore with the vessels of wrath fitted for 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 on the vessels of mercy which he before prepared for glory, showed mercy to us,
24 Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, 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 says also in Hosea: I will call that my people which is not my people, and her beloved, who 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 come to pass, that, in the place where it was said to them: You are not my people, there shall they be called the 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.
But Isaiah cries concerning Israel: Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
for his word he fulfills, and he decrees in righteousness; for his word that is decreed, will the Lord execute upon the land.
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 said before: Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a posterity, we should have been like Sodom, and been made like 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, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith:
31 Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
but Israel, who sought after a law of justification, has not attained to a law of justification.
32 U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as if by works of law: for they stumbled against that 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.
as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense: and whoever believes on him, shall not be ashamed.
