Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Christ sung ah thuman ka son hi, leilot ngawl khi hi, keima i sia le pha heak na in Tha Thiangtho sung ah tettipang hi.
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Ka thinsung ah vanngit lianpi le a tawntung in khuangai na ka nei hi.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Cilesa deina taw ka suapui te atu in keima tatak sia Christ kung pan in hamsiat ka thuak nuam zaw liang hi:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
Amate sia Israel mite hi uh a; amate sia ta suasak na, minthanna, kamciam te, dan piakna, Pathian nasep le kamciam te taw a ki zom te a hihi;
5 Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Amate sia pu le pa te taw ki zom in, Christ zong cilesa ngeina taw amate sung pan hong theng a hihi, tua Christ sia na theampo tung ah om a, Pathian in a tawntung in thupha pia hi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Pathian thu sia mannung ngawl hi, cinopna hi ngawl hi. Banghangziam cile Israel mi theampo in Israel mi tatak hi siat ngawl hi.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Abraham i suan le pal theampo sia a tate hi siat ngawl hi: ahihang, Isaac bek ah na suanlepal kip tu hi.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Hi thu sia, cilesa ngeina taw Abraham tate theampo sia Pathian tate hi ngawl hi, ahihang kamciam i tate sia a suan le pal in ceptesak hi.
9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
Banghangziam cile hisia sia kamciam kammal a hihi, hibang hun in kong paikik tu a, Sarah in tapa nei tu hi.
10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac;
Hi thu bek hi ngawl hi; ahihang Rebecca zong eite i pa Isaac taw in naupai hi;
11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
A tate suak ngawl lai in, a pha le a pha ngawl bangma vawt ngawl lai hi napi, Pathian i ngeal na sia tealsa bangma in a kip thei natu, sep na tungtawn hi ngawl in, amate a sam pa hang a hi zawkna sia;
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Rebecca tung ah, a upa in a naupa i na seam tu hi, ci hi.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Jacob ka it hi, ahihang Esau ka ensan hi, ci at khol hi.
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Tabang hile bang i son thua tu ziam? Pathian sung ah thutan ngawl na om ziam? Om vet ngawl hi.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Banghangziam cile Moses tung ah, ka hesuak nop te tung ah hesuakna ka nei tu hi, taciang ka mulkim nop te tung ah mulkim na ka nei tu hi, ci hi.
16 So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Tua ahikom hi thu sia dei thu le taikhiat na thu hang hi ngawl a, hesuakna a kilangsak Pathian hang a hihi.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Banghangziam cile laithiangtho in Pharaoh tung ah, nangma tung ah ka vangletna ka kilangsak thei natu le ka min sia leitung mun theampo ah ki thangsak tu, ci tupna taw in kong zang hi, ci hi.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
Tua ahikom Pathian in a hesuak nop te tung ah hesuakna nei a, a deisak mite lungtang khauhsak hi.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Tabang hile nangma in ka tung ah, banghang in Pathian in maw hong zong lai ziam? hong ci tu ni hi. Banghangziam cile a kua in Pathian deina nial tu ziam?
20 Nay but, 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?
Ahihang, mihing pa awng, Pathian a zo kik tu in nangma sia akua ni ziam? Banghang in hibang in hong vawt ni ziam, ci in a vawtsa nate in a vawtpa tung ah ci tu ziam?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Tungman lomkhat pan in beal khat sia a zatak huai in vawt tu le, a dang khat sia zatak huai ngawl in vawt tu sia, beal vawt pa in tungman tung ah thu nei hi ngawl ziam?
22 [What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Pathian in a thin-ukna kilangsak nuam a, a thunei na a hesak nuam le, suksiat tu in a vawtsa thin-ukna beal te sia thinsautak in thuak hi:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Taciang minthanna tu in a puakhol sate sia hesuakna beal te tung ah a minthanna i letna hesak tu hi,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Eite na ngawn, a saptuam te i hihi, Judah mite bek hi ngawl in, Gentile mite zong sam hi ngawl ziam?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Hosea laibu sung ah zong, ka mite a hi ngawl te ka mite, ka ci tu hi; taciang ka it ngawl te zong, ka it te, ka ci tu hi.
26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Tua zawkciang in amate tung ah, note ka mi na hi bua uh hi, ka ci na mun ah; a nungta Pathian tate, ci in amate ka sam tu hi, ci hi.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Isaiah in zong Israel mite taw kisai in, Israel tate sia tuipi ah senneal za hinapi, a tanglai te bek ngupna nga tu hi:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Banghangziam cile Ama in nasep man tu hi, taciang thutang suana taw a tomno in tan tu hi:
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Taciang Isaiah in hi thu te i mai ah, ngalkaphon te i Topa in thaici khe ngawl hile, eite sia Sodom le Gomorah bang i hi siat tu hi, ci hi.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Tabang hile bang i son tu ziam? Thutang suana a del ngawl Gentile mite in thutang suana phaban hi, tua thu sia upna hang in thutang suana a hihi.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Ahihang thutang suana a del Israel mite in, thutang suana i thukham sia phaban ngawl hi.
32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Banghangziam? Amate in upna taw a zong bua uh hi, thukham i sepna te taw a zon uh hang a hihi. Tabang in amate sia lutu theina suang tung ah lutu uh hi;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
En vun, Zion ah lutusak thei suang le lutu na suangtum ka koi hi: taciang akuamapo Ama a um peuma a maizum ngawl tu hi, ci in at khol hi.
