Romans 11
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am 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 hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
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 killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek 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 saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] 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 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Acukba tuhkbäih pi, a bäkhäknak am a jah xü, ajaw ve hamkie.
6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
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 hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
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 (According as it is written, God hath 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 saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Acunüng, Davit naw, “Ami eiawknak cun ami ng’awhnak vaia kya lü, ami kyukngtänak vaia pi kyase;
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Am hmu thei khaiea, ami mik pi mü law se, khuikhanaka maa anglät se jah ngkunsak vai” a ti.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for 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 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing 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 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Tuhkbäih Khyangmjükceea veia ka pyenki. Khyangmjükceea veia ngsäa ka kyaa küt üng, ka khutbi ka awhcahnaki.
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might 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 [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them 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 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
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 some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and 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 thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
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 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Acunüng, nang naw, “Ä! ekia ngban naw ka phäha hnün na peki na ti khai.”
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, 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, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
Pamhnam naw a ngban kcange pi am a jah msawk üng, nang pi am ning msawk law sawxat khai.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt 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 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff 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 thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed 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 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be 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 it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away 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 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
“Ami mkhyekatnake ka jah mhlät law pet üng, acun cun ami veia ka khyütam vaia kyaki” tia pyenki.
28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
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 ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Ahlana Pamhnama ngthu am nami ngai khawiki, cunsepi, tuhkbäih cun Judahe naw ngthu am ami ngaih phäha mpyeneinak nami yahki.
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may 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 both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding 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 hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Cangcim naw, “U naw Bawipaa mlung cun ksingki ni? U naw Pamhnam mtheimthang khawiki ni.
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
A thung be vaia pi u naw i pe khawiki ni?
