Rom 3
1 Hat pawiteh, Judah tami ni bangmaw meknae kaawm. Vuensomanae ni bangmaw hawinae kaawm.
What, then, is the preeminence of the Jew? Or what, the profit of his circumcision?
2 Ahawinae aphunphun ao. Hmaloe vah, vuensoma lah kaawm e Judahnaw teh Cathut lawk hah a coe awh.
Much, every way: —First, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Hat pawiteh, ahnimouh thungvah ka yuem hoeh e awm pawiteh bangtelane ahnimae yuemhoehnae ni Cathut yuemkamcunae hah a kâ raphoe sak han na maw.
For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?
4 Kâ raphoe mahoeh. Cathut ni a lawk lahoi lannae lah a coe teh, lawkceng toteh tâ nahanelah, Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah tami pueng teh laithoe kadeikung lah ao awh ei, Cathut teh kalan e lah awm naseh, telah ati.
Far be it! But let, God, prove to be, true, albeit, every man, be false! Even as it is written—That thou mightest be declared righteous in thy words, and overcome when thou art in judgment.
5 Hatnavah, maimae lanhoehnae ni Cathut lannae kamnuek sak pawiteh, bangtelamaw dei awh han. Tami koe lahoi dei pawiteh, lungkhueknae ka phat sak e Cathut teh kalan hoeh e Bawipa lah maw ao.
But, if, our unrighteousness, commendeth, God’s righteousness, what shall we say? Surely, not unrighteous, is God who visiteth with his anger? After the manner of men, I am speaking, —
6 Hottelah khoeroe awm hoeh. Hottelah awm pawiteh Cathut ni bangtelah hoi maw talaivan lawk a ceng han vaw.
Far be it! Else how shall God judge the world?
7 Hatei, kaie laithoenae lahoi Cathut lawkkatang ni a bawilennae hoe pung sak pawiteh, kai heh tamikayon buet touh lah bangkongmaw lawkceng e lah ka o rah vaw.
But, if, the truth of God, by my falsehood, hath the more abounded unto his glory, why, any longer, am, even I, as a sinner, to be judged?
8 Hnokahawi a tâco nahanlah hno kahawihoehe sak awh han, telah tet thai mahoeh maw. Tami tangawn ni hottelah maimouh ni dei awh ati awh teh, maimouh dudam lahoi a dei awh. Ahnimae yonphukhangnae teh a kamcu doeh.
And why not, according as we are injuriously charged, [and] according as some affirm that we say, Let us do the bad things, that the good ones may come? whose sentence is, just.
9 Hottelah pawiteh, bangtelah han maw. Maimouh teh hoe hawi awh maw. Hoe hawi awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judahnaw hoi Griknaw hai yon rahim vah ao tie yo kamnue sak toe.
What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;
10 Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah tamikalan awmhoeh, buet touh boehai awmhoeh.
Even as it is written—there is none righteous, not even one,
11 Ka thai panuek e awmhoeh. Cathut ka tawng e awmhoeh.
There is none that discerneth, There is none that seeketh out God:
12 Tami pueng lam a phen awh teh, abuemlahoi cungkeihoeh lah ao awh toe. Hnokahawi ka sak e apihai awmhoeh, buet touh boehai awmhoeh.
All, have turned aside, together, have become useless, There is none that doeth kindness, not so much as one:
13 Ahnimae a lawkron teh kamawng e tangkom lah ao. Ahnimouh ni a lai hoi laithoe a dei awh. A pahni dawk hrunthoe sue ao.
A sepulchre opened, is their throat, with their tongues, have they used deceit, the poison of asps, is under their lips,
14 Ahnimae apâhni teh lawkthoeumkha hoi akawi.
Whose mouth, of cursing and bitterness, is full,
15 Ahnimae khok teh tami thei hane koe lah a hue a rang awh.
Swift, are their feet to shed blood;
16 Ahnimae lamthung dawk kamkonae hoi roedengnae ao teh,
Destruction and misery, are in their ways,
17 Ahnimouh ni roumnae lam panuek awh hoeh.
And, the way of peace, have they not known:
18 Ahnimae mit dawk Cathut takinae tawn awh hoeh.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Kâlawk ni a dei e pueng teh kâlawk thung kaawmnaw hanelah doeh tie panue awh. Hottelah ao dawkvah, talaivan pueng teh lawk kam touh boehai dei thai laipalah, Cathut hmalah ka yon e lah ao awh.
Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.
20 Hatdawkvah, kâlawk tarawinae lahoi apihai Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah awm thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâlawk teh yon ka panueksakkung lah doeh ao.
Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him, —through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.
21 Atuteh kâlawk hoi profet lawknaw ni a kampangkhai e Cathut lannae teh, kâlawk laipalah a kamnue toe.
But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, —
22 Cathut lannae teh Jisuh Khrih kayuemnaw pueng e lathueng vah a pha. Hatdawkvah, kapeknae khoeroe awmhoeh.
A righteousness of God, through faith in [Jesus] Christ, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, —
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami pueng teh a yon awh dawkvah Cathut bawilennae hoi kâhla awh toe.
For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
24 Ahnimouh teh Cathut lungmanae dawk Khrih Jisuh thung ratangnae lahoi aphu poe laipalah na lan toe telah khoe e lah o toe.
Being declared righteous freely by his favour through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: —
25 Cathut ni ama lannae a kamnue sak nahanelah Khrih hah a rawi teh, yuemnae hanlah Khrih thipaling teh thuengnae lah ao sak. Phunlouk lahoi dei pawiteh, Cathut ni a lungsawnae lahoi kaloum tangcoung e yonnae naw hah pâkuem laipalah ao.
Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing-by of the previously committed sins,
26 Hatdawkvah, atuteh amae lannae hah kamnue sak hane hoi Cathut ama roeroe alan teh, Jisuh ka yuem e taminaw hai alansak.
In the forbearance of God, —with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.
27 Hat pawiteh, kâoupkhai kawi na mouh ao va. Hot teh pahnawt lah ao toe. Bang phung hoi mouh pahnawt lah ao va. Tawksaknae hoi maw. Na hoeh. Yuemnae lahoi pahnawt lah ao.
Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami teh kâlawk tarawinae lahoi laipalah yuemnae lahoi tamikalan lah na khoe toe tie lah pouk awh.
For we reckon that a man is to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.
29 Nahoeh pawiteh, Cathut teh Judahnaw hane Cathut dueng na maw. Jentelnaw e Cathut lahai awmhoeh namaw. A o. Jentelnaw e Cathut lahai ao.
Or, [is God] the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also: —
30 Yuemnae lahoi vuensom ka a e tami teh na lan toe telah khoe e lah ao teh, vuensom ka a hoeh naw hai yuemnae lahoi na lan toe telah ka khoe e Cathut teh buet touh duengdoeh.
If, at all events, God is one, who will declare righteous—the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through their faith.
31 Hat pawiteh, maimouh ni yuemnae lahoi kâlawk teh pahnawt awh namaw. Khoeroe pahnawt awh hoeh. Kâlawk hah hoe caksak awh.
Do we then make, law, void through means of our faith? Far be it! On the contrary, law, we do establish!
