Romans 3
1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what profit has circumcision?
Judahe cun khyangmjükcee kthaka ami kyäpnak bawk veki aw? Vun mawih khameinak cun kü bawki aw?
2 Much in every respect; but chiefly that the oracles of God were intrusted to them.
Akcanga anaküt üng akcüka Pamhnam naw amäta ngthu cun Judahe üng jah peki.
3 What, indeed, if some have been unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness overthrow the faithfulness of God?
Judah avangea am ami sitihnak naw Pamhnam cun am sitihkia thawnsak thei khai aw?
4 It can not be. But let God be true, though every man be a liar, as it is written: That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Acun kba am ni; Khyang naküt hlei sepi Pamhnam cun cangki ni, “Na ngthu pyen cun cang lü, ngthumkhyah üng pi ngnängnak na yah khai” tia Cangcim naw pyenki.
5 But if our unrighteousness causes the righteousness of God to be better known, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, who inflicts punishment? I speak as a man.
Cunsepi am dawkia mi pawhmsahnak naw Pamhnama pawhmsah naküt dawki tia a mdan üng, i mi ti thei khai ni? Pamhnam naw a jah ksücet üng Pamhnam naw akhye pawhki mi ti thei khai aw? (Ahin cun kthäh vaia nglawi kungki ni).
6 It can not be: for if so, how shall God judge the world?
Acukba am ani üng, Pamhnam am a cang üng ani naw ihawkba khawmdek ngthumkhyah pe khai ni?
7 Yet, if the truth of God has, through my lie, been greatly advanced to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?
Cunsepi, am ka cangnak naw Pamhnama hlüngtainak cun akcanga mdanki ni. Ise kei khyangka mäiha mkateia ka kya khai ni?
8 Then, why not say, (as we are slanderously reported as saying, and, as some affirm, that we do say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? Of such persons the condemnation is just.
“Akdaw a pha law vaia, mkhyekatnak mi pawh vai u” tia ise am mi ti ni? Khyang avang naw ami na mkateinak vaia ahine jah pyenkie ni. Ami yah vai kunga mkateinak yah khaie.
9 What then? Do we, Jews, excel? Not at all: for we have already convicted all, both Jews and Greeks, of being under sin,
Acunüng, mimi Judahe cun Khyangmjükce kthaka mi dawnak veki aw? Am ve. Judahe ja khyangmjükce avan cun mkhyekatnaka akea mi veki ti cun ka ning jah mhnuh päng ni.
10 as it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one;
Cangcim naw a pyena kba “Upi am ngsungpyun,
11 there is none that understands; there is none that seeks after God;
ksingnak taki ja Pamhnam mküimtoki matca pi am ve,
12 they have all turned out of the way; they have alike become unprofitable; there is none that does good, not even one;
“Ami van naw Pamhnam nghlatakie, akcea ami van citkie; akdaw pawhki upi am ve, mat pi am ve.
13 their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;
“Ami khyü nglung he cun thihnak vaia kya lü; ami mleie am hleihlaknak ngthu pyenkie. Ami mkae üng kpyukpyaia sik am beki.”
14 their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
“Ami pyenksake cun ng'yüncenak am beki.”
15 their feet are swift to shed blood;
“Ami khawe cun khyang hnimnak da hlah u lü;
16 destruction and misery are in their ways;
ami cehnak naküt üng pyüpyehnak ja khuikhanake jah ta hütkie;
17 and the way of peace they have not known;
dim’yenaka lam pi am ksing u,
18 there is no fear of God before their eyes.
“Pamhnam pi am kyühei u.”
19 Now we know that what the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God.
Thum üng ve nakütki hin thuma keha vekiea phäha sängeikia tia mi ksingki; acunakyase, khawmdek khyange nghuingphanak käh jah mhlät lü lei naküt law püi lü Pamhnam naw avana lei cun ngthu jah mkhyah pet khaia kyaki.
20 Wherefore, by works of law, no flesh shall be justified in his sight; for by law is the knowledge of sin.
Acukba, thum cun mi mkhyekatnak ksingeinak vaia ve lawkia kyase, thum üng u süm pi Pamhnama hmaia am ngsungpyun hlawt khai.
21 But now, the righteousness of God without law is revealed, being attested by the law and the prophets;
Tuhkbäih cun, Pamhnam naw amät am a jah ngsungpyunsak cun mdan pängki ni. Mosia Thum ja sahmae naw ami saksinak kyaw u lü pi Thuma bilawh vai am ve.
22 I repeat it, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, which is for all, and on all that believe; for there is no difference;
Acun cun, Pamhnama ngsungpyunnak, Jesuh Khritaw jumnaka phäha kya lü, jumeikie avana phäha kyaki. Acunakyase, hngalangnak am ve:
23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,
khyang naküt mkhyekat lü Pamhnama hlüngtainak üngka naw thuk vaikie.
24 yet may be justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
Jah lätlangsaki Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh, aphu am pe xa lü Pamhnama bäkhäknak am avan naw ngsungpyunnak yaha kyaki.
25 whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;
Pamhnam naw ani cun a jah pet. Ani mi jumeinak üng a thisena phäha ami mkhyekatnak mhlätnak vaia kyaki. Ahlana ami mkhyekatnake cun mlungsaünak am jah büktengki cunsepi atuh cun amäta ngsungpyunnak a mdannak vaia khyangea mkhyekatnak jah cijang petki. Ahikba a pawhnak am Pamhnam naw amät ngsungpyunnak mdan lü, Jesuh Khritaw jumki naküt cun pi ngsungpyunsaki ni.
26 in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just, while he justifies him who believes in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith.
Acukba akya üng, mi awhcahnak vai ve khai aw? Am ve! Thum mi läk lü aw? Am ni. Jumnak üng ni akyak ve.
28 For we conclude that a man is justified by faith, without deeds of law.
Acunakyase, khyang cun jumnak am ngsungpyun lü thuma ngjak'hlü bilawhnaka phäha am ni.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Am ani üng Pamhnam cun Judahe däka Pamhnama kyaki aw? Khyangmjükceea Pamhnama pi am kyaki aw? Kyaki, khyangmjükceea Pamhnama pi kyaki.
30 since there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.
Pamhnam mat däk kya lü, Judahe cun ami jumnaka phäha amät am jah ngsungpyunsak lü Khyangmjükcee cun ami jumnak üngkhyüh jah ngsungpyunsaki.
31 Do we, then, make law void through the faith? It can not be. On the other hand, we establish law.
Acunakyaküng, jumeinaka phäha Thum mi hawihki aw? Am mi hawih, mi khängsaki ni.
