Romans 9
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
Chong diktak ki ril ani; Khrista taka kini milak ril mu ung. Ki sielesarietna Ratha Inthieng ruoina han khom milak tho mu ung ti mi minthâr ani.
2 That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
Ku mulung dûktongna lientak le mulung nanah boi theiloi ko dôn tie ki ti zora hin,
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
Ki mingei, taksa tienga ki richibulngei ruthûla hin Pathien khomâksâmin Khrista renga minsenin om inlang chu ku nuom ngâi.
4 Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
Pathien mingei an nia, aman a nâingeiin a sin ngeia, an kôm a roiinpuina ngei a minlanga; chonginkhitngei a sinpui ngeia male Balam ngei a pêk ngeia; Sava diktak an dônna; Pathien chonginkhâmngei an man ani;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Richibulngei inthang tak Hebrew jâisuon an nia, taksa tieng roia chu Khrista reng khom hah an rûia mi ani. Jâttin chunga roijêkpu Pathien chu tuonsôtin! minpâkin om rese, Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
Pathien chonginkhâm hah ite asena ommak ki tina ni riek mak. Israelngei nâm hah anrêngin Pathien mi ni zit mak ngei.
7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Abraham richi murdi khom anrêngin Pathien nâingei ni let uol mak ngei, “Isaac hin nu rûi isûi nîng atih,” Pathien'n a ti pe ani.
8 That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
Ma hah taksa lama a nâingei hah Pathien nâingei nimak ngei, chonginkhâm nâingei hah kêng Abraham richi diktaka be an ni tina ani.
9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
Pathien chonginkhâm hah mahi ani “Azora taka juong nôk ka ta, Sarah'n nâipasal nei atih,” ti hi.
10 And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
Ma vai hah nimaka, Rebecca han ei richibul Isaac renga nâi inphîr a neia.
11 For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand, )
Nâite ngei an la suok mân, sielesa an tho thei mân Pathien'n a lungdo angin inkhat lam a thang ani ti ânlang. Sintho sik ni loiin a koipu lungdo sikin Rebecca kôm, “A ulienpu'n nâipangpu sin thông atih,” Pathien'n a ti hah.
12 Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
Pathien lekhabu'n, “Jacob ku lungkhama, aniatachu Esau chu ke heng,” ati anghan.
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
Hanchu, imo ei ti rang ani zoi? Pathien han dik zoi loina aom mini? Nitet mak.
15 For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
Ama han Moses kôm han, “Ku nunuom moroi ka ta, ku nunuom chunga inriengmu ki tih a ti anghan.”
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Masikin, miriem nuom sika le sin tho sika niloiin Pathien inriengmuna sikin kêng ani.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Pathien lekhabu'n Pharaoh kôm, “Ki sinthotheina ki minlang theina rang le rammuol pumpuia ki riming ânthang theina rang pielin rêngin nang ku phun ani,” a ti.
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
Ma anghan Pathien'n a nuom kai inriengmuna a neia, a nuom kai a mulung a minngar ngâi ani.
19 Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
Ma anghan aninte, “Pathien'n irangin mo mi a lei dem tit rêka? A lungdo hah tumo a makhal theia?” mi nin ti thei.
20 O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
Hannirese, O miriem, Pathien makhalpu hah tumo ni ni? bêlpil han a sinpu rekel ngâi mak, “Irangin mo hi anghin mi ni sin?” ati rang mini?
21 Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Bêlpil tangkhat renga bêl a lut uol, anem uola sin rangin bêl sinpu han bêlpil chunga racham a dôn nimak mo?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
Ma anghan Pathien'n a tho ngâi, a taksina le a sinthotheina minlang nuom khomrese, a taksina changpu bêl inmang kelen ruo ngei chu a tuong zajâma.
23 That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
Hanchu, a inriengmuna bêl a roiinpuina chang ranga a minsûk, eini ngei kôma hin a roiinpuina tamtak a juong vur ani.
24 Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
Ma anga bêlngei hah eini Judangei lâia vai niloiin Jentailngei lâi renga a koi ngei khom ei ni sa.
25 As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
Hosea lekhabua, “Ki mi ni ngâi loi ngei hah ‘ki mingei’ tîng ka ta. Lungkham ku mu ngâi loi nu hah ‘Lungkhamnu’ tîng ki tih.
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
‘Ki mingei nimak chei’ a tina mun lelê han Pathien a ring nâingeiin bên om an tih,” tia a lei misîr anghan.
27 And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
Isaiah khom han Israelngei chong hêt puiin “Israelngei hah tuikhangliena sietsai dôr tam khomrese ngei, mi tômte kêng sanminringa om rang an ni.
28 For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
Pumapa'n pilchunga a roijêkna rang hah a jêk kelen rang sikin,” a ti hah.
29 And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
Isaiah nanâkin, “Pumapa Râtinchung han suonpâr mi lei hôih pe no rese chu, Sodom anghan nîng ei ti zoia. Gomorrah angtakin nîng ei ti zoi,” tia a lei ril anghan.
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
Imo ei ti rang ani zoi? Jentailngei, Pathien taka dikna zong loi ngei hah taksônna sikin dik an hong intum zoi ani.
31 But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
Balam jôma adik chang rang bôk Pathien mi Israelngei hanchu balam angtakin dik chang makngei.
32 Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
Itho sikin mo? Taksônnân minngam loiin sintho nân an zong sika ani. Masikin “Inpalna rang lunga” an inpal zoia.
33 As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
Pathien lekhabu'n, “En roh! Keiman Ziona han lungpui ka dara mahan mingei minpal a ta, ma lungpui han minlet ngei atih. Tutu khom ama iem murdi'n chu mâimôkinshakin om noni ngei,” tia inziek anghan.
