Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
Khatben ah manuca rhoek, khangnah ham amih yueng Pathen taengah ka thinko kah kolonah tah rhenbihnah ni.
2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
Pathen kah kohlopnah a khueh uh te amih ham ka phong pah. Tedae mingnah nen moenih.
3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Pathen kah duengnah vik te a mangvawt uh tih amah kah duengnah thoh ham ni a toem uh. Te dongah Pathen kah duengnah dongah boe a ngai uh moenih.
4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih te duengnah ham olkhueng kah a bawtnah tah Khrih ni.
5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Moses loh olkhueng kah duengnah kawng te a daek coeng. Te tla a saii daengah ni hlang loh te nen te a hing eh.
6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
Tedae tangnah kah duengnah loh, “Na thinko ah, 'Unim Vaan la aka luei eh? Te tah Khrih aka khuen la om.
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
Te phoeiah, 'Unim tangrhom dung la aka suntla eh? Te duek lamkah hang khuen ham tila Khrih ni, 'ti boeh,” a ti tangloeng. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
Tedae balae n'ti lah eh? Olka te na taengah, na ka ah, na thinko ah om. Tekah aka om tangnah olka la ka hoe uh te.
9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Boeipa Jesuh te na ka neh na phong tih duek lamkah anih aka thoh Pathen te na thinko ah na tangnah atah na daem ni.
10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
Thinko neh a tangnah te duengnah la, ka neh a phong te khangnah la om.
11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Te dongah cacim loh, “Amah te aka tangnah boeih tah yahpok mahpawh.
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
Judah neh Greek laklo ah hlihloehnah a om moenih. Boeipa amah tah hlang boeih kah ni. Amah aka phoei rhoek boeih taengah a khuehtawn sak.
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Te dongah boeipa ming aka khue boeih te tah daem ni.
14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
Tedae a tangnah uh mueh la amah te metlam a khue uh eh? A yaak uh mueh la amah te metlam a tangnah uh eh? A hoe mueh la metlam a yaak uh eh?
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
A tueih uh pawt atah metlam a hoe uh eh? A daek vanbangla hnothen te aka phong rhoek kah a kho tah sawtthen tangkik.
16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
Tedae olthangthen te hlang boeih loh a ngai uh moenih. Isaiah loh, “Boeipa kaimih kah olthang he u long a tangnah,” a ti.
17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Te dongah tangnah tah hnavue lamloh, hnavue tah Khrih kah olka lamloh ha om.
18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
Tedae, “A yaak uh moenih a?” ka ti. Amih kah oldi loh diklai pum la cet tih, amih kah olka loh lunglai a bawtnah due a pha.
19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
Tedae, “Israel loh ming pawt nim?” ka ti. Moses loh lamhma la, “Kai tah namtom pawt nen khaw nangmih kan thatlai thil ni. Lungmong namtom rhangneh nangmih kan sai sak ni,” a ti.
20 And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
Te dongah Isaiah tah a rhalthen tih, “Kai aka toem pawt rhoek loh m'hmuh tih kai aka dawt pawt rhoek taengah aka phoe la ka om,” a ti.
21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
Te phoeiah Israel taengah, “Ka kut te hnin at puet pilnam ol aek neh boekoek taengah ka phuel coeng,” a ti nah.
