Romans 11
1 I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Cawhtaw kai ing doet nyng: Khawsa ing ak thlangkhqi ce ak hoet nu? Am hoet qoe qoe hy! Kai kamah awm Israel thlang, Abraham a cadil, Benjamin na awm nyng.
2 God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
Khawsa ing a sim cee hawh ak thlangkhqi ce am qoeng hy. Elijah ing Israelkhqi ama ngaih a dawngawh Khawsa venawh a cykcahnaak awi Cakciim awh ak awm ce am nami sim nawh nu?
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
Bawipa na tawnghakhqi awm him unawh nang a bawkthangkhqi awm hqe hawh uhy; kai doeng ni ka awm hy, cehlai tuh kai awm him aham ni sui uhy,” a ti ce.
4 But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Khawsa ing ikawmyihna awi am hlat peek ce? “Baal a haiawh khuk amak sym kamah aham thlang thong khqih hoep hun nyng,” tina hy.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Camih lawtna, tuhawm am qeennaak ing thlang ak tyh ce awm hun hy.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Qeennaak ing ak tyk mantaw, bibinaak ak caming am voel hawh ni; bibinaak ak caming mantaw, qeennaak ce qeennaak na am awm voel kaw.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Cawhtaw ikawmyihna a awmnaak? Israelkhqi ing ngaihtaak doena sui hlai uhy am hu uhy, ak tyhkhqi ingtaw hu uhy. Ak changkhqi taw kawlung hqam sak hy.
8 According as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
Mik ta hlai uhy a mami huh thainaak aham, haa ta hlai uhy a maming zaak thainaak aham, tuhngawi dy awh, Khawsa ing a mingmih ce ngai qepnaak kawlung pek khqi hy,” tinawh qee hyt awm hawh hy.
9 David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
David ingawm: A mingmih a caboei ce dawng ingkaw thang na awm seitaw, a mingmih ang bahnaak ingkaw a mi khawboe phu zawknaak na awm seh.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
Khaw a mami huh thainaak aham a mi mikkhqi hyp seitaw, a mim tingkhqi ce khun seh,” ana tihy.
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
Doet tlaih lah vang nyng: ama mi thawh thainaak voel dyna tlu unawh nu? Amni! A mingmih a sai thawlhnaak awhkawng, Israelkhqi ing ami ytnaak aham, hulnaak ce Gentelkhqi venawh law hy.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
Cehlai a mingmih a sai thawlhnaak ce khawmdek boeinaak na awm nawh, a mingmih ing ami hlawng ce Gentelkhqi boeinaak na a awm awhtaw, a mingmih a soepnaak ing iqyt dy nu boeinaak ce a awm sak khqoet kaw!
13 For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
Nangmih Gentelkhqi venawh ni ka nik kqawn peek khqi. Gentelkhqi ham ceityih na ka awm khui taw, bi ve khawzah bi nyng,
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ikawmyihna awm kak thlangkhqi ing ytnaak ta unawh thlang vang awm hul na a mi awm thainaak aham bi bi nyng.
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
Ikawtih a mingmih ing a mi qoeng a dawngawh khawmdek ing tuqunaak na ang coeng awhtaw, a mingmih ing a mi do ak khqoet man thihnaak awhkawng hqingnaak na am awm kawm nu?
16 If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Phaihpi ak cyk ce pe nawh a ciimcaih sak hawh awhtaw, phaihpi a cuu boeih na ciimcaih hy; thingkung ce a ciim awhtaw, a baaikhqi awm ciimcaih hy.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;
A baai a vang ce a ek awhtaw, nangmih, olive chap, olive thing a baai awh cawng na awm tiksaw ak kqa awhkawng ak pli ce hang taai na hyk ti,
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
cedawngawh a baai chang ak khanawh koeh oek qu. Nang oek qu awhtaw, ve ve poek: nang ing ak kqa ce tha am pe hyk ti, ak kqa ing ni nang ce tha a ni peek.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
Cedawngawh, Kai ve cawng na ka awmnaak thai aham a baaikhqi ek hy,” na ti aham awm hy.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Thym hy, a mingmih ing a ma mik cangnaak awh ni a mi ek hy, nangmih awm cangnaak awh ni naming dyih hy. Cedawngawh koeh hoel qu nawh taw, kqih lah.
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Khawsa ing a baai tang tang zani a mam hlyn awhtaw, nangmih awm am nim hlyn khqi kaw.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Cedawngawh Khawsa am qeennaak ingkaw a tlungthangnaak ce poek lah uh. Ak tlukhqi hamna taw ak khawngkhqi camawh ni; nang ahamna taw leek hy, a leeknaak awh na awm poe awhtaw; cekkaataw nang awm tluk sakna awm lawt kawp ti.
23 They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Cangnaak kaana a mami awm poe awhtaw, a mingmih ce cawng khqi tlaih kaw.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Nangmih olive thik chap awhkawng chawm na awm u tiksaw olive thing tang awh cawng na nami awm awhtaw, vawhkaw olive thing tangkhqi ak khqoet taw olive thing awh cawng hly thai khqoet saw!
25 For I do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the non-Jews has come in,
Koeinaakhqi, nangmih ing am naming oekqunaak aham vawhkaw awihyp ve sim kaana nami awm aham am ngaih nyng: Gentelkhqi ami soepnaak nyn a pha hlan dy taw, Israelkhqi amik kawlung hqam kaw.
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Cehlai Israelkhqi boeih hul na awm kaw; “Hulkung ce Zion awhkawng law kawmsaw; Jakob a venawh kawng Khawsa ama simnaak ce khawng kaw.
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
Ve ve a mingmih mi awikamnaak ka sai ni, a mingmih a thawlhnaak ce lawh pe kawng,” tinawh qee hyt hawh amyihna.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
Awithang leek awi awhtaw, a mingmih ce nangmih a qaal na awm hlai uhy, tyknaak benawh taw, pakdamkhqi ak caming lungnaak hu uhy,
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Ikawtih Khawsa a zopeek kutdo ingkaw khynaak vetaw hqe thai na am awm hy.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Nangmih awm maa nataw Khawsak awi am ngai hlai uhyk ti a mingmih ing awi a mami ngainaak ak caming tuh awhtaw qeennaak ce hu hawh uhyk ti,
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
cemyih lawtna a mingmih awm Khawsa ing nangmih a venawh qeennaak a taak lawt amyihna qeennaak ami huh thainaak aham tuh awi am ngai uhy.
Thlang boeih ak khanawh qeennaak a taak thainaak aham, Khawsa ing thlang boeih ce awi amak ngai na tahy. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God. How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out.
Aw Khawsa a cyihnaak ingkaw thoemnaak boeinaak” ak dung soeih soeih ve! Ak awi dengnaak sim thai noeng am ingkaw, hquut thainaak a ceng benna ak awm lam aih ve!
34 For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
U ing nu Bawipa ak kawlung ce a sim hawh? U ing nu anih ce khaw ak poek pyi?
35 "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
Khawsa ing a sam tlaihnaak aham, u ing nu ik-oeih a peek hawh?
