Romans 11
1 Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed 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 did not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says in Elijah, how he makes intercession to God against Israel?
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 slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking 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 to him? I have left unto 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 there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace:
Acukba tuhkbäih pi, a bäkhäknak am a jah xü, ajaw ve hamkie.
6 and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more 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 did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
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 has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.
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 be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
Acunüng, Davit naw, “Ami eiawknak cun ami ng’awhnak vaia kya lü, ami kyukngtänak vaia pi kyase;
10 and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and 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 Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke 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 But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
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 But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:
Tuhkbäih Khyangmjükceea veia ka pyenki. Khyangmjükceea veia ngsäa ka kyaa küt üng, ka khutbi ka awhcahnaki.
14 if perchance I may provoke 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 was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception 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 But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are 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 certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;
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, you are not bearing the root, but the root 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 Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.
Acunüng, nang naw, “Ä! ekia ngban naw ka phäha hnün na peki na ti khai.”
20 Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, 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, neither will he spare you.
Pamhnam naw a ngban kcange pi am a jah msawk üng, nang pi am ning msawk law sawxat khai.
22 Then behold the goodness and severity of God: upon those who fell indeed, severity; but upon you the goodness of God, if you may abide in his goodness: since you too may 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 But these also, if they may not abide 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, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
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 I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may 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 has been written, A leader shall come out of Zion, shall turn 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 the covenant with me unto them, that I may take away their sins.
“Ami mkhyekatnake ka jah mhlät law pet üng, acun cun ami veia ka khyütam vaia kyaki” tia pyenki.
28 They are enemies indeed, as touching the gospel, for your sakes: but beloved with reference to election for the sake of the fathers:
Thangkdaw ami maha phäh, nangmia phäha Pamhnama yeea kyakie. Pamhnama a jah xünnak üng ta ami pupaea phäh Pamhnama püia kyakie.
29 for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Dawnak jah pe lü a jah xüa khana Pamhnam naw a mlung am thunghlai kawi.
30 For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,
Ahlana Pamhnama ngthu am nami ngai khawiki, cunsepi, tuhkbäih cun Judahe naw ngthu am ami ngaih phäha mpyeneinak nami yahki.
31 even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also 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.
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 of the wisdom of the knowledge of God! His judgments are unsearchable, and his ways past tracing 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? who became his counsellor?
Cangcim naw, “U naw Bawipaa mlung cun ksingki ni? U naw Pamhnam mtheimthang khawiki ni.
35 or who has given unto him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
A thung be vaia pi u naw i pe khawiki ni?
