Romans 9
1 I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
Kai teh Khrih dawk laithout laipalah lawkkatang ka dei han. Kaie thoehawi panuenae teh Kathoung Muitha lahoi kai hoi cungtalah kampangkhai teh,
2 I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
Kai dawk puenghoi lungmathoenae hoi ka lungthung vah lungpuennae pou ka tawn.
3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, takthai lahoi ka miphun lah kaawm e ka hmaunawnghanaw hanelah kama roeroe Khrih hoi kampek vaiteh thoebonae khang han totouh ngainae ka tawn.
4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
Ahnimouh teh Isarel miphun lah ao teh cacoungnae, bawilennae, lawkkamnae, kâlawk poenae, bawknae teh ahnimouh hoi ka kâkuen e lah ao.
5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mintoenaw teh ahnimouh hoi a kâkuet teh, Khrih hai tami lahoi teh ahnimouh thung hoi a tâco. Hote Bawipa teh bangpuengpa e lathueng vah ao teh, a yungyoe yawhawinae Cathut lah ao. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
Bangtelah nakunghai thoseh, Cathut lawkkam teh raphoe e lah awmhoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Isarel catoun lah kaawm e pueng Isarel miphun lah awm awh hoeh.
7 Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
Abraham e catoun lah kaawm e pueng Abram e ca katang lah koung awmhoeh. Isak koehoi e catoun doeh nange catoun lah kaw han tie lah ao.
8 So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
A deingainae teh takthai lahoi khe lah kaawm e taminaw teh Cathut e ca lah awmhoeh, lawkkam dawk hoi khe e tami dueng doeh a miphun lah a khoe.
9 For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh lawkkam dawkvah het patet e tueng a pha navah, bout ka tho han. Sarah haiyah capa a khe han telah ati.
10 Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
Hot dueng nahoeh, Rebekah hai maimae mintoe Isak hoi yuvâ lah ao teh camo a vawn navah,
11 Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
A ca khe hoehnahlan, a canaw ni a thoehawi banghai a panue awh hoehnahlan hoiyah, Cathut ni a rawinae lah kaawm e a pouk tangcoung e hah, thaw tawknae lahoi laipalah, a kawnae lahoi caksak nahanlah,
12 not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
Ca kacue e teh kanaw koe san lah ao han telah sut a dei pouh toe.
13 So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Jakop teh ka lungpataw, Esaw teh ka hmuhma telah Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah doeh ao.
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
Telah boipawiteh maimouh ni bangtelamaw dei han toung. Cathut teh lanhoehnae lah maw ao toung. Khoeroe awmhoeh.
15 For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut ni Mosi koe, lungma han ka ngai e tami hah ka lungma teh, pahren han ka ngai e tami hah ka pahren han telah ati.
16 So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
Hatdawkvah het hateh, tami e ngainae hoi kâyawmnae dawk tho hoeh, lungpatawkung Cathut kâ lah doeh ao.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Cakathoung dawk Faro siangpahrang koe nang hah kai ni na tawmnae teh, nang koe kama e bahu ka kamnue sak vaiteh, talai van pueng dawk ka min kamthang sak nahane doeh telah ati.
18 Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni a pahren ngai e hah a pahren teh, a lungpata sak hanlah a ngai e hah a lungpata sak.
19 One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
Hatnavah nang ni, telah pawiteh Cathut ni bangkongmaw taminaw hah yon a pen vaw. Apini maw Cathut ngainae teh a taran thai han vaw telah na pacei han.
20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
Hatei, oe nange tami, nang teh banglah maw na o teh Cathut hah bout na pato ngam vaw. Sak e hno ni kasakkung koe bangkongmaw hettelah na sak atipouh thai han maw.
21 Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
Hlaam kasakkung ni amhru dawk kâ tawn hoeh na maw. Hote amhru hah hlaam bari kaawm hoi bari kaawm hoeh e sak thainae kâ tawn hoeh na maw.
22 What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
Hatei, Cathut ni a lungkhueknae a kamnue sak hane hoi amae bahu panue sak hanelah, a ngainae ao nahlangva vah, raphoe hanlah ta e, lungkhueknae hlaamnaw hah, lungsaw poung lahoi panguep pawiteh, bangtelamaw.
23 What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
Hathloilah, a lentoe nahanlah sut rakueng e, lungmanae hlaamnaw dawkvah, amae bawilennae hah panue sak nahanelah sak pawiteh bangtelane.
24 including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
Cathut ni maimanaw teh hote lungmanae hlaamnaw lah, Judahnaw thung dueng laipalah, Jentelnaw pueng koe haiyah na kaw e lah o toe.
25 As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
Hosi cauk thungvah, Cathut ni ka tami lah kaawm hoeh e hah, ka tami telah ka kaw han, ka pahren hoeh e napui hah ka pahren telah ka kaw han ati.
26 and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
Nangmanaw teh ka tami nahoeh telah tinae hmuen koe nangmouh teh ka hring Cathut e a canaw telah na kaw awh han telah ati e patetlah ao.
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
Isaiah nihai, Isarelnaw kong dawk a dei e teh, Isarel canaw teh tuipui rai e sadi yit touh ka phat nakunghai kacawie dueng rungngang lah ao han.
28 For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut ni a thaw teh cum hoeh roukrak tawk vaiteh, lannae hoi a tawk han. Bawipa ni talai van a thaw teh a kuep sak vaiteh kâhat laipalah ka tawk han telah a hramkhai.
29 It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
Hothloilah Isaiah ni, kalvan ransabawi yungyoe kahring e Cathut ni maimouh hanlah catoun pek hoehpawiteh, Sodom hoi Gomorrah khopui hoi doeh kâvan awh ti telah sut a dei e patetlah ao.
30 What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
Telah pawiteh, maimouh bangtelamaw dei awh han toung. Lannae ka pâlei hoeh e Jentelnaw ni lannae teh a coe awh toe. Hothateh, yuemnae lahoi coe e lannae lah ao.
31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
Lannae hoi kâkuen e phung coe hanelah ka pâlei e Isarel miphun naw teh hote phung hah phat thai awh hoeh.
32 Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Bangkongmaw a pha thai awh hoeh. Yuemnae hoi laipalah tawksaknae dawk hoi kâyawm e lah ao dawk doeh. Ahnimouh teh talung dawk kamthui teh a tâlaw awh toe.
33 as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Khenhaw! Zion vah tâlawnae lungsong, payonsakkung talung hah kai ni ka hruek. Apihai ama ka yuem e tami pueng teh kayak mahoeh telah Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah ao.
