Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
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 grief and unceasing pain in my heart—
Ka thinsung ah vanngit lianpi le a tawntung in khuangai na ka nei hi.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be accursed from the Christ—for my brothers, my relatives, 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, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, 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 [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is God over all, blessed for all ages. 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 And it is not possible that the word of God has failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these 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 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but, “in Isaac will a seed be called to you”;
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, the children of the flesh—these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for 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 the word of promise [is] this: “According to this time I will come, and there will be to Sarah 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 [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one—our father Isaac
Hi thu bek hi ngawl hi; ahihang Rebecca zong eite i pa Isaac taw in naupai hi;
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to [divine] selection, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling),
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 to her, “The greater will serve the less”;
Rebecca tung ah, a upa in a naupa i na seam tu hi, ci hi.
13 according as it has been written: “Jacob I loved, and Esau I hated.”
Jacob ka it hi, ahihang Esau ka ensan hi, ci at khol hi.
14 What, then, will we say? Unrighteousness [is] with God? Let it not be!
Tabang hile bang i son thua tu ziam? Pathian sung ah thutan ngawl na om ziam? Om vet ngawl hi.
15 For to Moses He says, “I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I 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—not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness;
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 Writing says to Pharaoh, “For this very thing I raised you up, that I might show in you My power, and that My Name might be declared in all the land”;
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 so then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He hardens.
Tua ahikom Pathian in a hesuak nop te tung ah hesuakna nei a, a deisak mite lungtang khauhsak hi.
19 You will say, then, to me, “Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”
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 No, but, O man, who are you that are answering again to God? Will the thing formed say to Him who formed [it], Why did you make 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 Does the potter not have authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honor and one to dishonor?
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 And if God, willing to show the wrath and to make known His power, endured, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for 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 vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He called—us—
Taciang minthanna tu in a puakhol sate sia hesuakna beal te tung ah a minthanna i letna hesak tu hi,
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Eite na ngawn, a saptuam te i hihi, Judah mite bek hi ngawl in, Gentile mite zong sam hi ngawl ziam?
25 as also in Hosea He says, “I will call what [is] not My people—My people; and her not beloved—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 will be—in the place where it was said to them, You [are] not My people; there they will be called sons 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 And Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will 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 a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the LORD do on the land.”
Banghangziam cile Ama in nasep man tu hi, taciang thutang suana taw a tomno in tan tu hi:
29 And according as Isaiah says before, “Except the LORD of Hosts left to us a seed, we had become as Sodom, and we had been made like Gomorrah.”
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, then, will we say? That nations who are not pursuing righteousness attained to righteousness, and righteousness that [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 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at a law of righteousness;
Ahihang thutang suana a del Israel mite in, thutang suana i thukham sia phaban ngawl hi.
32 why? Because—not by faith, but as by works of law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
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 according as it has been written: “Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and everyone who is believing thereon will 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.
