Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Keiman thudih kasei hi Christa ahetoh ahi. Ase le apha hetna kaneiyin chule Lhagao Theng aphotchetna ahi.
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart—
Kalungthim hi hatah in lunghemna le lung kicholdo theilou gimnan kadime.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be accursed from the Christ—for my brothers, my relatives, according to the flesh,
Ajeh chu kamite Judah mite kasopiho dingin, keima Christa'a kona a-itih a gaosap chang kahinom'e; hichun amaho ahuhhing jou ding hileh kati ahi.
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
Amaho Israel mite ahiuvin, Pathen cha-lamthu hina changah ahiuvin, Pathen in aloupina amaho heng alhut ahitai. Aman amaho to kitepna aneiya chule a-Danthu apehdoh ahiuve. Aman amaho chu ahoutheina dinguva michonpha a asem ahin, chule athutep kidangtah ahin pehdoh ahiye.
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)
Amaho hi Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob son le chilhahte ahiuvin, chule Christa amatah chu mihem lamdola sei dingin Israel mi anahi, chule Ama Pathen ahin, thil jouse chunga vaihoma ahin, chule tonsot'a vahchoi ding'a kilom ahi. (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;
Chuti ahileh aphai, Pathen in Israel techu athutep lamdola abolpeh lougot hitam? Ahipoi, Israel nam sunga peng jouse chu abonuva Pathen mite ahidehpouve.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but, “in Isaac will a seed be called to you”;
Abraham chilhah himan'a Abraham chate tia kisim jenga ahipoi. Ajehchu Pathen thun Isaac a naphunggui kisut ding ahi ati chun, Abraham'in chapa dang anei henasa asei ahi.
8 that is, the children of the flesh—these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Hichehi, tahsalam a Abraham'in ahindoh chate jouse chu Pathen chate ahiuve tia seina ding aumpoi. Thutep chate bou chu Abraham chate tia kisima ahije.
9 for the word of promise [is] this: “According to this time I will come, and there will be to Sarah a son.”
ajehchu Pathen in athutep, “Khovei tuphat tengleh keima kahung kile kit ding Sarah chun chapa khat ahinding ahi,” ati.
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one—our father Isaac
Hiche achapa chu ipuluiyu Isaac ahi. Aman Rebekah akichenpi chun mi-ni apengkop'in ahi.
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),
Hinlah amani ahung penlhah masang lhon'in, thilpha ahilouleh thilse abol masang lhon'in, Pathen'a kon'a thulhut amu ahi (Hiche thulhunga kona chu Pathen in Ama lunggon dungjuiya akouji ahi, tihi ahi.
12 it was said to her, “The greater will serve the less”;
Amaho phat le set jeh jong ahidehpoi tihet ahi). Amanu koma, “Nachapa atahpa chu anaopa kinbola hung pang ding ahi,” ati.
13 according as it has been written: “Jacob I loved, and Esau I hated.”
Pathen thun, “Keiman Jacob kangailun, hinla Esau chu kapampai ahi,” ati.
14 What, then, will we say? Unrighteousness [is] with God? Let it not be!
Chuti ahileh, eihon Pathen chu athilbol adihpoi itiuvem? Ahideh poi!
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”;
ajehchu Pathen in Mose jah a, “Keiman ka khotona'a kalhendoh penpen chunga kalhut ding, chule kahepina chu kalhendoh pen chunga kalhut ding ahi,” ati.
16 so then—not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness;
Hiti ahijeh chun, Pathen khotona chu Ama kigel lhah thuthu hiya ahi. Eihon ilhen theiju jong hilou, toh'a itohdoh theiju jong ahidehpoi.
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”;
Ajehchu Pathen lekhabun, anaseisa chu Pathen in Pharaoh jah a, “Keiman kathahatna nachunga katahlang na dinga keiman nangma kalhen nahin chule kaminthanna leiset pumpia kathejal dinga nahi,” tia anasei pehsa ahi.
18 so then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He hardens.
Hijeh'a chu, Pathen in ami khotona chu mi abangkhat chunga avetsah a chule aman midang lungsung chu asuhtah a asei angaipeh lou ahi.
19 You will say, then, to me, “Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”
Chuti ahileh aphai, nangman, “Iti dan'a athu jalou ho chu a oimo hintem? Aman amaho abolsah chan chu abol'u hijeng lou ding ham?” tin nate.
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?
Ahipoi, hichu seihih in. Nangma mihem maimai'in Pathen nanel ngam ham? Thilsem khat chun asempa jah a chu, “Ipi dinga hitobang bep'a hi neisem ham?” tia asei ngaijem!
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?
Bel dengpa chun leiset'a kon'a belho asem tengleh ama chun aleiset leingan chu aphabep khat ajem ding'a asem'a chule phabep khat loi chu nen koina a jong asemthei hilou ham?
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,
Hitobangma chun, Pathen in jong alunghanna le athahatna vetsahna dingin thaneina aneiyin, chule alunghanna chuhna ho chunga jong thohhat tah a anga'a amahthahna diu gonsa akoipeh ahitai.
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—
Hiche abol hi aloupina ho dung juiya, aloupina tahlangna dinga mi akhotona chu kilangdoh cheh dinga agon ahi.
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Chule eiho Aman alhendoh ho lah'a hi Judah mite leh chidang namdang ho chunga hijongleh eiho jong ijaouve.
25 as also in Hosea He says, “I will call what [is] not My people—My people; and her not beloved—Beloved,
Chidang namdangte chung chang thua Pathen in Hosea Themgao henga gaova aseidohsa, “Kamite hilouho chu keiman kamite tia tuapat kakou ding ahitai, chule keiman kangailut louho chu kangailut ding ahitai.
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.”
Chule amaho kamite nahi pouve kitina mun'a chu Pathen Hing chate kiti ding ahiuve.
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;
Chule Israel chung chang thua Themgao Isaiah chun ahinsamdoh in, Israel mite chu twikhanglen panga neldi jat tam'in tam jongleh, amoh them bou sohcha ding ahi,” ati.
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.”
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin leiset chunga thutanna gangtah le achaina pena dinga ahinbol ding ahi.
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.”
Chule Isaiah chun mundanga hitima chun aseiyin, “Ven sopite Pakai chun ichateu themkhat hi ahoidoh lou hileh eiho hi Sodom banga eikithat chaihel uvintin, Gomorrah banga eisuhmang dingu ahi,” ati.
30 What, then, will we say? That nations who are not pursuing righteousness attained to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Hicheho jouse hi ipi kiseina hintem? Chidang namdang te Pathen chondan juilou ahivangun, amaho chu Pathen lungtoh dia kisema ahitauve. Chule tahsan hin hiche hi ahin hitheisah ahi.
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at a law of righteousness;
Hinlah Israel mite Pathen to kilunghet themna dinga kihabol ho jeng jong Danthu ajui jeng vangun alolhing joupouve.
32 why? Because—not by faith, but as by works of law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
Ipijeh a lolhinglou hiuvem? Ajeh chu amahon Pathen to kilunghet themna dinga Ama tahsan sangin Danthu ajuiyuve. Ama ho alamlhahnauva songpia kipal ahitauve.
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.”
Pathen lekhabun amaho gihsalna ananei'in, ajah uva, “Keiman Jerusalema songpi khat kakoiyin, hichun miho akipalsah'e, amaho lhuh kamna songpi khat ahi. Hinla koihileh Ama tahsan chan chu jachatna a chulou ding ahi,” ati.
