Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience testifying to me in the Holy Spirit,
Khritaw üng, ngthu kcang ka pyenki, am ka hleiki ni, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima phäha, akdaw ja akse ksingnak thei naw pi na ksingpüi se,
2 that great distress is in me, and unceasing sorrow in my heart.
ka khuikhanak ka pyen üng mlung üng am düt theikia natnak ka taki.
3 For I wished I myself to be accursed from the Christ, for my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,
Ka khyange mtisa lama ka mjüea phäh kei hin Khritaw üngka naw mtai lü yüncenak ka yah vaia pi hlüei kyaw veng.
4 who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the divine service, and the promises,
Isarel khyangea kyakiea kyase, caea thawnak, hlüngtainak, khyütame ja Thum jah pe lü ngthumkhän a jah pawh püi. Pamhnam hjawkhahnak ja äpeinake naküt cun ami kaa kya lü;
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
ami cun nglongthangkie Hebru pupae üngka naw lawki he. Pumsa lama Khritaw cun amimi üngka naw lawki; Ani cun avan naküta khana veki, angläta mhlünmtai phyakia Pamhnama kyaki! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel,
Cunsepi, Pamhnama ngthu cun am ngtähki tia am pyen veng. Isarela mjükphyüie naküt, Isarel kcanga kya päihkiea am kya;
7 nor, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children, rather, In Isaac a seed will be called for thee.
Abrahama mjükphyüia ami kyaa phäha ami van Abrahama caa am kya u; “Khyütam ka ning peta mjükphyüi cun Isak üngkhyüh na yah khai” tia kyaki.
8 That is, the children of the flesh, these are not children of God, instead, the children of the promise are reckoned for seed.
Acun cun, mtisa lama cae cun Pamhnama caea am kya u lü khyütamnak am cae cun Abrahama caea kyakie tinaka kyaki.
9 For this is the word of promise: At this time I will come, and there will be a son by Sarah.
Pamhnama khyütam cun hina kyaki; “Atuh üngka naw, akcün kümkawi lü ka law üng, Sarah naw kpamica ca na khai” a ti.
10 And not only so, but also Rebecca having bed from one man, our father Isaac
Acun däka am kya, Rabeka naw mi pu Isaka phäh angphi a mpyainak üng,
11 (for not yet having been born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not from works, but from him who calls),
na ca xawi am ani hmi law ham üng, akdaw ja akse am ani pawh thei ham üng, pawhmsaha phäha am kya lü, khüikia mlung ngaih däka kya lü, xünak üng, Pamhnama bünak a khäng vaia,
12 it was said to her, The older will serve the younger.
a veia, “Angvai cun akdika mpyaa kya khai” tia Pamhnam naw a pyen.
13 As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I regarded inferior.
“Jakop jawng na lü Etaw ka hnengki” tia Cangcim naw a pyen.
14 What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen!
I mi pyen vai veki? Pamhnam cun am ngsungpyunki mi ti khai aw? Pamhnam am ngsungpyunkia am kya.
15 For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate.
Pamhnam naw, “Ka mpyenei hlü, mpyenei lü, ka bänak hlü ka bänak khai” tia, Mosia veia a pyen.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who is merciful.
Acunakyase, anaküt cun khyanga ngjak'hlü am kya lü Pamhnama mpyeneinaka phäha ni akya ve.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this same thing I raised thee up, that I might display in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Cangcim naw Pharoa veia, “Ka khyaihnak nang üngka mdan vaia phäha ja ka ngming khawmdek avan üng a ngthang hünak vaia ka ning mhlünmtaiki” a ti.
18 So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.
Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw a mpyenei hlü mpyenei lü, a mlung a ngcangsak hlü ngcangsaki.
19 Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose?
Acunakyaküng, “Pamhnam naw ise jah mkateiki ni? U naw a ngjak'hlü mkhyeki ni?” Mat mat naw ti taw khai.
20 Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?
Cunsepi, ka püi aw, Pamhnam na ngcuhpüi khaia ta nang u ni? Mdek k’am naw sepkia khyang üng, “I vai ahikba na na pyan ni?” ti lü am kthäh khawi.
21 Or has the potter no right over the clay, from the same lump certainly to make this vessel for esteem, and that for disesteem?
K’amksep naw, mdek üngka lo lü mat akdawa sep lü, mata sep sawxat khaia ana taki ni. K’amksep naw mdek cun a ngjak'hlüa am sumei khai aw?
22 And if God, wanting to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Pamhnama bilawhnak üng pi acun kba kyaki. A mlung sonak mdan lü a johit a ngsingnaksak vaia kyaki. Cunsepi a mlungsonak khamei lü, pyüpyeh khaie khana mlung saünak taki.
23 even that he might make known the wealth of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he previously prepared for glory,
A hlüngtainak yah khaia a jah mhnüna mi kyakia mimia khana a jah peta dämdakia a hlüngtainak cun, a bäkhäknak makie khana pi a mdan vai pawhki.
24 namely us whom he called, not only from Jews but also from Gentiles.
Judahe däk üngkaa am kya lü, Khyangmjükcee üngkae pi a jah khü.
25 As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved.
Hosia cauk üng, “Ka khyanga am kya khawikie, ‘ka khyange’ ka jah ti na khai. Acunüng am ka mhläkphyanak khawie cun ‘ka mhläkphyanake’ ka ti khai.
26 And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God.
Acunüng, ami veia hikba kya law khai, ‘Ka khyangea am nami kyakia’ hnün üng xüngseiki Pamhnama cae tia ngsui law khaie” tia pyenki.
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.
Hesajah naw pi Isarele jah pyen naki naw, “Isarele cun, tuinu kama, kdiyüta mäiha däm u sepi avange däk naw ni küikyannak ami yah kawm.
28 Since he is completing and finishing quickly a matter in righteousness, because a matter that has been cut short upon the earth, the Lord will perform.
Bawipa naw khawmdek khana khyange cun angenga ngthu jah mkhyah pe khaia pha law khai” a ti.
29 And just as Isaiah has foretold, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.
Hesajah kung naw, “Hlüngtai säihki Bawipa naw mi mjükphyüie am a jah phyäi vai sü üng ta, Sodom mlüh ja Komorah mlüha mäiha mi kham khaie sü” tia a na pyenki.
30 What will we say then? That the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness from faith.
Khyangmjükcee vei mi pyen vai ta amimät jah amimät Pamhnam üng am ngsungpyun hlü u lü amimäta pawhmsah üng ngsungpyun hlükie cun jumnak am amät am a jah ngsungpyunsak.
31 But Israel who pursued a law of righteousness, did not arrive to a law of righteousness.
Isarele ngsungpyunnaka thum ktämkie naw ngsungpyunnaka thum am hmu ve u.
32 Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
Ise ni? Jumnak üng am ktäm u lü bilawhnak am yah theia mäiha ami ktäma phäha kyaki. “Ngsukeinaka lung” üng ngsukeikie.
33 just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.
Cangcim naw, “Tenga khyangea ngsukeinak vai lung ja kyukngtänaka lungnu cun Zion mcunga ka taki, au pi Ani jumeikie naküt cun am hela u” tia pyenki.
