< Rom 1 >
1 Kai Pawl, Jisuh Khrih e a san, Cathut ni a kamthang kahawi pâpho hanlah, na rawi teh na kaw e, guncei lah kaawm e ni ca na patawn awh.
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
2 Hote kamthang kahawi teh Cathut ni ahmaloe hoi profetnaw koe na kam pouh tangcoung e hoi, Cakathoung dawk a thut tangcoung lah kaawm e,
( Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
3 Cathut Capa Jisuh Khrih e kong hah doeh. Tami koe lahoi teh Devit catoun lah ao.
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 Thoungnae Muitha bahu lahoi duenae koehoi boutthawnae, Cathut capa lah a onae, heh a kamnue sak.
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 Hote Bawipa min lahoi Jentelnaw pueng ni yuemnae hoi Cathut lawkngainae koe pha sak nahanelah, guncei lah coungnae coe awh.
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 Nangmouh hai hote Jentel miphun lah na o awh teh, Jisuh Khrih hoi na kâkuet awh nahanelah, kaw e lah na o awh.
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 Hottelah Cathut ni a pahren teh tami kathoung lah a kaw e Rom kho kaawm e naw pueng koe, hete ca heh ka thut. Maimae Pa Cathut hoi, Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koehoi lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.
To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Nangmae yuemnae teh talaivan pueng a kamthang dawkvah, nangmouh hanelah kaie Cathut koe Jisuh Khrih lahoi hmaloe ka lunghawi.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 Ouk ka ratoum navah nangmouh pou na pouk awh teh, Cathut ngainae awm pawiteh, hnin hnin touh hnin teh bangte lahoi ne nangmouh koe ka pha thai nahane lam a aw nahan ouk ka ratoum.
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10 Capa e kamthang kahawi ka pâpho teh, ka muitha lahoi ka bawk e Cathut hah kai kapanuekkhaikung lah ao.
Making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.
11 Bangkongmaw nangmouh kâhmo hanlah ka ngai tetpawiteh, nangmouh hah muitha poehno buetbuet touh rei teh, na cak awh nahanelah thapoe hanelah ka ngai poung dawk doeh.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that ye may be established;
12 Hottelah ka ti navah kaie yuemnae ni nangmouh tha na poe teh, nangmae yuemnae ni kai tha na poe teh, yuemnae lahoi buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpatawnae coe awh nahane doeh.
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Hmaunawnghanaw, Jentelnaw koe ka cei navah hawinae ka hmu e patetlah nangmouh koe hai hmu hanlah, tho hane atuhoitu ka kâcai ei, na katarawkkung ao dawk atu sittouh ka tho thai hoeh.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, ( but was hindered until now, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 Kai teh Griknaw, tamipathunaw, a lungkaangnaw, hoi miphun pueng koe laiba ka tawn e lah ka o.
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 Hatdawkvah, Rom kho kaawm e nangmouh koe a coung thai totouh kamthang kahawi pâpho hanlah coungkacoe lah ka o.
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 Kai teh Khrih e kamthang kahawi kecu dawk kayanae ka tawn hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote kamthang kahawi teh ahmaloe vah Judahnaw, hahoi Griknaw koe pâpho lah o teh, ka yuem e tami pueng ka rungngangnae Cathut e bahu doeh.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 Cakathoung ni vah, tamikalan teh yuemnae lahoi a hring han ati e patetlah, yuemnae dawk hoi e Cathut lannae teh akung hoi a hmo ditouh hete kamthang kahawi dawk a kamnue.
For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 Lawkkatang ka ngang e taminaw, Cathut laipalah khosaknae naw hoi kamsoumhoehe khosaknae naw pueng dawk kalvan hoi Cathut lungkhueknae teh a pha.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Bangkongtetpawiteh, panue kawi e Cathut e a kong naw teh ahnimanaw koe a kamnue toe. Cathut ni ahnimouh koe a pâpho toe.
Because that which may be known of God is evident in them; for God hath shown it to them.
20 Bangtelah hoi maw a pâpho tetpawiteh, talaivan pek a kamtawng hoi Cathut e hmuthaihoehe a yungyoe bawilennae, a Cathutnae teh, a sak e hnonaw dawk hoi kamcengcalah panue thai kawi lah ao dawkvah, ahnimouh ni kâtang thai mahoeh. (aïdios )
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios )
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni Cathut hah a panue awh nahlangva vah, Cathut pholen hane totouh pholen a hoeh. A lungmanae hai noutna a hoeh. Ayawmyinlah pouknae hoi lungthin pathunae koe a pha awh.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Ahnimouh teh amamouh hoi amamouh a lungkaang e patetlah a kâsak awh nahlangva vah, ka pathu e lah ao awh.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 Kamko thai hoeh e Cathut e a bawilennae hah a pahnawt awh teh, kamko thai e, tami, tava naw, a khok pali touh e moithangnaw, vonpui hoi kâva e moithangnaw hoi kâvan e meikaphawknaw hah Cathut e yueng lah a ta awh.
And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Hatdawkvah, ahnimanaw teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kâbari awh hoeh nahan, amamae lungngai e patetlah khinnae kut dawk Cathut ni a poe awh.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Ahnimouh ni lawkkatang Cathut yueng lah a kaphawk e cathut hah a tâ awh teh, kasakkung Cathut a pahnawt awh. A sak e hno hah a bawk awh. Hote Bawipa teh a yungyoe yawhawinae awmseh. Amen. (aiōn )
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
26 Hottelah a sak awh dawkvah, ahnimanaw teh kayanae kut dawk Cathut ni a poe toe. Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, napuinaw ni, tongpa hoi onae heh a pahnawt awh teh, napui reira ao awh.
For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 Hot patetvanlah, tongpanaw ni hai napui hoi onae phung a pahnawt awh teh, buet touh hoi buet touh cuknae hmai patetlah a kak awh teh, kayatho poung e tongpa reira a hmawng awh teh, amamae a yon awh e patetlah lawkcengnae teh a kâhmo awh.
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was due.
28 Hothloilah ahnimouh ni Cathut panue han a ngai awh hoeh dawkvah, hno kahawihoeh a sak awh nahanelah, Cathut ni hounlounnae kut dawk ahnimouh teh a poe toe.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not proper;
29 Ahnimanaw teh hno kahawihoeh saknae a phunphun, kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae, mawikainae, hounlounnae, hounroenae,
Being filled with all unrighteousness, immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Utsinnae, tami theinae, kayanae, dumyennae, tami hmungaihoehnae, mathengpaanae, kâoupkâpawinae, thoum kawi hoeh e thoumnae, manu na pa lawkngaihoehnae, kâhruetcuethoehnae,
Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 thaipanuekhoehnae, lawkkamcakhoehnae, lungkâpatawhoehnae, ngaithoum thaihoehnae, pahrenhoehnae lungthin ka tawn e tami lah ao awh.
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Hottelah kaawm e tami teh a due hane roeroe lah ao telah Cathut ni ati e heh a panue awh nahlangva, amamouh ni a sak dueng laipalah hottelah ka sak e taminaw koehai a lungkuep awh.
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
