Rom 1

1 Paul, Jesu Khrih a tyihzawih, tyihzawih hamna ak khy, Khawsa Awithang leek kqawn hamna ak khy ing,

From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

2 cawhkaw awithang leek taw Cakciim awh amah a tawnghakhqi hawnaak ing ak cyk ca awhkawng a taak hyt awi ceni,

which through his prophets he promised beforetime, in holy writings;

3 pumsa ben awhtaw David a cadil na ak awm, amah a capa akawng ce,

this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David’s posterity in respect of his bodily nature,

4 thihnaak awhkawng a thawhnaak ak caming, ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih taw Khawsa capa ni tinawh thaawmnaak ing ciimcaihnaak Myihla ing kqawn hy.

but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness.

5 Anih ak caming ang ming awh, cangnaak ak caming ak awingainaak ak khuiawh thlangkhqi ing a mi kun thainaak aham Gentel thlangkhqi khy aham am qeennaak ing ceityih bibi ve ni hu uhy.

It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name’s sake;

6 Nangmih awm Jesu Khrih thlang na awm lawt aham ak khy khqi anglakawh paa lawt uhyk ti.

among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ’s.

7 Khawsa ing lungna nawh thlak ciimcaih na awm hamna ak khy Rom khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi boeih a venawh: Pa Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa Jesu Khrih a venawh kaw ngaihdingnaak ingkaw am qeennaak nangmih Rom khawawh ak awmkhqi boeih a venawh awm seh.

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.

8 Lamma cyk awh, nangmih ak cangnaak akawng ce khawmdek pum awh amik kqawn dawngawh, nangmih boeih awh ce Jesu Khrih ak caming Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nyng.

First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.

9 Kak kawlung boeih ing a Capa ak awithang leek khypyi nyng saw a bi ka bi peekkung, Khawsa ing cykcahnaak ka taaknaak a hoei awh nangmih am nim hilh khqi qoe qoe nyng tice sim nyng,

God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,

10 a hukhit awh nangmih a venna ka lawnaak thai aham Khawsa ing chawh am awng lawnaak aham cykcah nyng.

always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.

11 Myihla kutdo a vang a phal awm ni pek khqi nawh namik tha a awmnaak thai aham nami huh aham ngaih soeih nyng;

For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;

12 pynoet ingkaw pynoet cangnaak benawh thaawmnaak ni taaknaak aham ngaih nyng.

that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the other’s faith, yours and mine.

13 Gentel thlangkhqi venawh ak thaih kak bih hawh amyihna, nangmih anglakawh awm kak bihnaak thai aham, law aham cai khing hawh hlai nyng (tuhdy anik kangkung awm khak hy) tice, koeinaakhqi, a sim kaana awm ham am ni ngaih khqi nyng.

I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Greek thlangkhqi ingkaw Greek thlangkhqi am a venawh awm, thlakcyikhqi ingkaw thlakqawkhqi venawh awm sai hly kawi ta khak nyng.

To Greeks and to barbarians, to the cultured and to the uncultured, I have a debt to discharge.

15 Cedawngawh maw Rom khaw awh amik awm nangmih a venawh awm awithang leek kqawn aham ka ngaih khak lawt mah hy.

So much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

16 Awithang leek awh chahnaak am ta nyng, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih hulnaak a hamna Khawsa ak thaawmnaak na a awm dawngawh: lammacyk awh Judakhqi ahamna awm nawh cekcoengawh Gentelkhqi ahamna awm hy.

FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GOD’S SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE.

17 Awithang leek awh Khawsa venawh kawng ak dyng pynoet ce dang hawh hy, “Thlakdyng taw cangnaak ing hqing kaw,” tinawh qee ce amyihna, ak cyk ca awhkawng a dytnaak dyna cangnaak ing dyngnaak ce awm hawh hy.

FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.

18 Khawsa amak simkhqi ingkaw khawboe seetnaak ing thlang ak thekhanaak thlakche khqik khanawh khan benna kawng Khawsa ak kawsonaak ce dang noe noe hawh hy,

For God’s wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.

19 Khawsa ing ak zoei cana a sai peek khqi dawngawh, a mingmih ing Khawsa a mi sim thainaak aham zoei cahy.

This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.

20 Ikawtih khawmdek a syn cyk ca awhkawng sim thai na amak awm Khawsa a saithainaak, kumqui thaawmnaak ingkaw a Khawsa nihnaak ce, ak ceet cana dang hawh hy, a them saikhqi awh zaaksim thainaak awm hawh nawh, thlanghqing ing oelh thainaak a lam am awm hy. (aïdios g126)

For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Khawsa ce sim hlai uhy, Khawsa amyihna am kyihcah unawh zeelnaak awi awm ap kqawn uhy, themche poeknaak ing amik kawlung be nawh, amik kawmikna hyp hy.

For although they knew God, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.

22 Thlakcyi na ngai qu hlai uhy, thlakqaw na awm uhy,

While they professed to be wise, they became fools,

23 amak see thai Khawsa a boeimangnaak ce ak see thai thlanghqing, phakhqi, qamsakhqi ingkaw ak cawlhthaikhqi a myi amyihna sai uhy.

and exchanged the majesty of the imperishable God for an idol, graven in the likeness of perishable man, or of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.

24 Cedawngawh Khawsa ing a mimah thawlh ngaihnaak amyihna pynoet ingkaw pynoet a pum ce chahqai na a awmnaak aham nu pa thawlh sainaak amak ciimcaih benna pehy.

So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;

25 Khawsa awitak ce a hqawng ah qapna coeng sak unawh, ak saikung anglakawh a sai them ce bawk unawh a bi ce bi pe uhy. Ak Saikung taw ang loetna kyihcah tyng ni. Amen. (aiōn g165)

because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Cedawngawh Khawsa ce chahpyih hamna hyyngaihnaak ing mang taak nawh; nukhqi ingawm ami thangpyi khawsaknaak ce amak leek khawsaknaak benna hawi pyi uhy;

That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;

27 cemyih lawtna pakhqi ingawm nukhqi mi ih a awmnaak ce nawn unawh, pa ingkaw pa zaak amak leekna ip a awm unawh ami thawlh phu zaawk kawi ce amimah ing zaawk uhy.

and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.

28 Khawsa simnaak ve ikawna awm ama ming ngai dawngawh, a mimah ak kawlung seetnaak ing sai hly am kawi sainaak benna Khawsa ing a mingmih ce pek khqi hy.

And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.

29 Cekkhqi ce thawlhnaak a soep a hoei, khawboe seetnaak, kamvaanaak ingkaw seetnaak ing be unawh; ytnaak, thlang himnaak, hqonaak, thailatnaak, sawhnaak ing be uhy; thlang theetnaak,

They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.

30 kawsonaak, Khawsa sawhnaak, thlang kawna am huhnaak, thinsahnaak ingkaw oek qunaak ing be uhy; themche sainaak, nu pa ak awi am ngainaak;

They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.

31 kaw amak awmkhqi, cangnaak amak takhqi, lungnaak amak takhqi, qeemmaal amak takhqi na awm uhy.

They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.

32 Cemyih a them che ak saikhqi taw ami thih ham awm hy ti Khawsak awipeek ak awm ce sim hlai uhyk ti, a mimah ing a mi sai doeng am khoek nawh, thlang chang ak saikhqi ce ym pyi uhy.

Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
