Romans 11
1 I say, then, Has God rejected his people? It can not be. For I am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Acunüng, Pamhnam naw a khyange jah mahki aw? Am ja mah. Kei pi Isarel khyang, Abrahama mjükphyüi, Benjamina sang üngkaa ka kyaki ni.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture says, in regard to Elijah? how he intercedes with God against Israel, saying:
Pamhnam naw akcüka a jah xüpänga khyange am jah mah khawi. Cangcim naw Elijaha mawng a pyen am nami ngja khawiki aw? Elijah naw Isarelea mawng Pamhnama veia pyen lü,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars, and I am left alone, and they seek: my life.
“Bawipa, na sahmae jah hnim u lü; na kpyawngkunge jah kpyeh u se, kei däk ka xüngki, kei pi na hnim khaiea bükie ni” a ti.
4 But what says the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Acunüng, Pamhnam naw ihawkba jah a msang be? “Am dawkia Baal mhnam am mküimtokiea khyang thawng khyüh ka phäha ka jah taki” ti lü a msang.
5 Thus, then, at the present time also, there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Acukba tuhkbäih pi, a bäkhäknak am a jah xü, ajaw ve hamkie.
6 And if the election is by grace, it is no longer by works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
A bäkhäknak üng a jah xüa akya üng, bilawhnak üng am kya; acukba am akya üng bäkhäknak cun bäkhäknak kcanga mäi am law.
7 What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened to this day,
I mi pyen khai? Isarele naw ami sui am hmu u. A xüea khyang ngcek naw ni ami sui cun ami hmuh u. Aknung bawk naw Pamhnama khünak am ngja u.
8 as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes with which they can not see, and ears with which they can not hear.
Cangcim üng, “Pamhnam naw tuhkbäih däa ami mlung ja ami ksingnak jah nghmüpsak se tuhvei cäpa am hmu ngja u” tia pyenki.
9 And David says: Let their table become a trap, and a net, and a snare, and a recompense to them;
Acunüng, Davit naw, “Ami eiawknak cun ami ng’awhnak vaia kya lü, ami kyukngtänak vaia pi kyase;
10 let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and let them bow down their back always.
Am hmu thei khaiea, ami mik pi mü law se, khuikhanaka maa anglät se jah ngkunsak vai” a ti.
11 I say, then, Have they stumbled, in order that they may fall? It can not be. But rather, through their fall, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to excite them to jealousy.
Ka ning jah kthähki, Isarele cun kyuktäng pyawce khaiea ngvänkie aw? Acukba am kya. Isarelea mkhyekatnak cun khyangmjüceea phäh küikyannak vai ja kya law lü Isarele naw jah k’eihkie.
12 Now, if their fall be the riches of the world, and their loss be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their full acceptance be the riches of the world?
Isarelea mkhyekatnak naw khawmdeka bawimangnaka kya lü Ngmüimkhya lama khuikhakie khyangmjücea phäh bawimangnak lawpüiki. Ami kümbenak ami law vai süa ta ihlawka daw khai ni.
13 For I speak to you, Gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I do honor to my ministry,
Tuhkbäih Khyangmjükceea veia ka pyenki. Khyangmjükceea veia ngsäa ka kyaa küt üng, ka khutbi ka awhcahnaki.
14 if, by any means, I may excite to jealousy those who are my flesh, and save some of them.
Acun cun, kamäta khyange k’eihnak ta khaiea ja pawh lü, avange ka jah küikyannak vaia kyaki.
15 For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the reception of them be, but life from the dead?
Ami mahnak cun khawmdek khyang naküta phäh Pamhnama ye üngka naw a püia nglat law bekie ni. Ami a jah dokham cun ihawkba vai ni? Acun cun akthiea phäh xünnak vai ni.
16 Now, if the first fruit is holy, the mass is holy also: and if the root is holy, the branches are holy also.
Acunüng, muk pyan ma Pamhnam üng pet üng, muk avan pi a kaa kya khai, thinga pyae Pamhnam üng pet üng a ngbane pi a kaa kyaki.
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, have been grafted in among them, and partake with them of the root and fatness of the olive,
Nglina olip ngban avang ek se, olip kcanga am kyaki acun üng ngsu law khaie. Olip kcang am nikia nangmi khyangmjükcee cun Judahea ngmüimkhya xünak nami yumeipüikie ni,
18 boast not against the branches; but if you boast, boast not that you bear the root, but that the root bears you.
a ngban eke käh jah hmumsita. Nang cun a ngban kya lü käh awhcaha. Awhcah lü pi nang aphung na mcahkia am na kyaki, aphung naw ni a ning mcah ve.
19 You will say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Acunüng, nang naw, “Ä! ekia ngban naw ka phäha hnün na peki na ti khai.”
20 Well; on account of unbelief they were broken off; but you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear.
Cang ve, am ami jumeia phäha jah k’eha kyaki, nang na jumeinaka phäha na ngdüiki. Käh awhcah lü kyüheia.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed, lest he spare not you.
Pamhnam naw a ngban kcange pi am a jah msawk üng, nang pi am ning msawk law sawxat khai.
22 Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell; severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off.
Acunakyase Pamhnama a dawnak ja a kyühksenak cän ngaia, kyukngtängkiea phäha kyüh phyaki ni; a dawnak üng na ve nglät üng nanga phäha cun dawki ni; am acunüng ta nang pi ning ksawmpata na kya hnga khai.
23 And they, also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Acunüng, Judahe naw am ami jumnak ami hawih üng ami venak khawia ve be khaie, Pamhnam naw acukba jah pawh khawhki.
24 For if you were cut out from an olive-tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, against nature, into a good olive, how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive?
Nang olip kcanga am na kyaki pi ni ksawm u lü, am nami tängkia olip thing kdaw üng ning mdüna akya üng, a ngbane kcang cun ami phung kung olip thing üng jah mdünnak be vai jah hlüei bawk khai ni?
25 For I do not wish you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery―lest you be wise in your own conceit―that blindness has happened to Israel in part, till the full number of the Gentiles shall have come in.
Ka püie aw, hina khyü ngthup hin nami ksing vai yü na veng. Namimät nami kthemkia käh nami ngai khaia, Khyangmjükceea kcün am a kümkawi law hama küt üng, Isarelea mlung nglangnak cun asäng ni.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Acukba Isarele naw küikyannak yah khaie; Cangcim üng, “Zion mcung üngka naw jah küikyanki Bawipa pha law lü Pamhnam am ami ksingnak cun Jakopa mjükphyüi üngkhyüh jah mkhyüh law pet khai.”
27 And this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins.
“Ami mkhyekatnake ka jah mhlät law pet üng, acun cun ami veia ka khyütam vaia kyaki” tia pyenki.
28 As it respects the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sakes; but as it respects their election, they are beloved for the fathers sakes:
Thangkdaw ami maha phäh, nangmia phäha Pamhnama yeea kyakie. Pamhnama a jah xünnak üng ta ami pupaea phäh Pamhnama püia kyakie.
29 for God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable.
Dawnak jah pe lü a jah xüa khana Pamhnam naw a mlung am thunghlai kawi.
30 For as you formerly did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief;
Ahlana Pamhnama ngthu am nami ngai khawiki, cunsepi, tuhkbäih cun Judahe naw ngthu am ami ngaih phäha mpyeneinak nami yahki.
31 so, also, these have not now believed, that through the mercy shown to you, they also may obtain mercy.
Acukba kunga, tuhkbäih cun Pamhnam naw ning jah mpyenei se mpyeneinak nami yahnak hnga vaia, Judahe naw pi Pamhnama mpyeneinak ami yahnak bawk hnga vaia Pamhnama ngthu am ngai u.
32 For God has delivered them all over to unbelief, that he may have mercy on them all. (eleēsē g1653)
Pamhnam naw khyang naküt a jah mpyeneinak thei vaia khyang naküt cun ngthu am ngaihnak üng a jah tak päiha kyaki. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Pamhnama kthemnak ja ksingkhyapnak cun a aktäa ngsawngkang ve. A ngthumkhyahnake cun jah ksing thei vaia am kya lü u naw a tüilame pi ksing khai ni.
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or, who has been his counsellor?
Cangcim naw, “U naw Bawipaa mlung cun ksingki ni? U naw Pamhnam mtheimthang khawiki ni.
35 Or, who has first given to him, and received from him a recompense?
A thung be vaia pi u naw i pe khawiki ni?
