Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
Khritaw üng, ngthu kcang ka pyenki, am ka hleiki ni, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima phäha, akdaw ja akse ksingnak thei naw pi na ksingpüi se,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
ka khuikhanak ka pyen üng mlung üng am düt theikia natnak ka taki.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,
Ka khyange mtisa lama ka mjüea phäh kei hin Khritaw üngka naw mtai lü yüncenak ka yah vaia pi hlüei kyaw veng.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;
Isarel khyangea kyakiea kyase, caea thawnak, hlüngtainak, khyütame ja Thum jah pe lü ngthumkhän a jah pawh püi. Pamhnam hjawkhahnak ja äpeinake naküt cun ami kaa kya lü;
5 of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ami cun nglongthangkie Hebru pupae üngka naw lawki he. Pumsa lama Khritaw cun amimi üngka naw lawki; Ani cun avan naküta khana veki, angläta mhlünmtai phyakia Pamhnama kyaki! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
Cunsepi, Pamhnama ngthu cun am ngtähki tia am pyen veng. Isarela mjükphyüie naküt, Isarel kcanga kya päihkiea am kya;
7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
Abrahama mjükphyüia ami kyaa phäha ami van Abrahama caa am kya u; “Khyütam ka ning peta mjükphyüi cun Isak üngkhyüh na yah khai” tia kyaki.
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
Acun cun, mtisa lama cae cun Pamhnama caea am kya u lü khyütamnak am cae cun Abrahama caea kyakie tinaka kyaki.
9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
Pamhnama khyütam cun hina kyaki; “Atuh üngka naw, akcün kümkawi lü ka law üng, Sarah naw kpamica ca na khai” a ti.
10 And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
Acun däka am kya, Rabeka naw mi pu Isaka phäh angphi a mpyainak üng,
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
na ca xawi am ani hmi law ham üng, akdaw ja akse am ani pawh thei ham üng, pawhmsaha phäha am kya lü, khüikia mlung ngaih däka kya lü, xünak üng, Pamhnama bünak a khäng vaia,
12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
a veia, “Angvai cun akdika mpyaa kya khai” tia Pamhnam naw a pyen.
13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
“Jakop jawng na lü Etaw ka hnengki” tia Cangcim naw a pyen.
14 What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
I mi pyen vai veki? Pamhnam cun am ngsungpyunki mi ti khai aw? Pamhnam am ngsungpyunkia am kya.
15 For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
Pamhnam naw, “Ka mpyenei hlü, mpyenei lü, ka bänak hlü ka bänak khai” tia, Mosia veia a pyen.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Acunakyase, anaküt cun khyanga ngjak'hlü am kya lü Pamhnama mpyeneinaka phäha ni akya ve.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
Cangcim naw Pharoa veia, “Ka khyaihnak nang üngka mdan vaia phäha ja ka ngming khawmdek avan üng a ngthang hünak vaia ka ning mhlünmtaiki” a ti.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw a mpyenei hlü mpyenei lü, a mlung a ngcangsak hlü ngcangsaki.
19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
Acunakyaküng, “Pamhnam naw ise jah mkateiki ni? U naw a ngjak'hlü mkhyeki ni?” Mat mat naw ti taw khai.
20 But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"
Cunsepi, ka püi aw, Pamhnam na ngcuhpüi khaia ta nang u ni? Mdek k’am naw sepkia khyang üng, “I vai ahikba na na pyan ni?” ti lü am kthäh khawi.
21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
K’amksep naw, mdek üngka lo lü mat akdawa sep lü, mata sep sawxat khaia ana taki ni. K’amksep naw mdek cun a ngjak'hlüa am sumei khai aw?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
Pamhnama bilawhnak üng pi acun kba kyaki. A mlung sonak mdan lü a johit a ngsingnaksak vaia kyaki. Cunsepi a mlungsonak khamei lü, pyüpyeh khaie khana mlung saünak taki.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
A hlüngtainak yah khaia a jah mhnüna mi kyakia mimia khana a jah peta dämdakia a hlüngtainak cun, a bäkhäknak makie khana pi a mdan vai pawhki.
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
Judahe däk üngkaa am kya lü, Khyangmjükcee üngkae pi a jah khü.
25 As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, 'loved.'"
Hosia cauk üng, “Ka khyanga am kya khawikie, ‘ka khyange’ ka jah ti na khai. Acunüng am ka mhläkphyanak khawie cun ‘ka mhläkphyanake’ ka ti khai.
26 "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
Acunüng, ami veia hikba kya law khai, ‘Ka khyangea am nami kyakia’ hnün üng xüngseiki Pamhnama cae tia ngsui law khaie” tia pyenki.
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
Hesajah naw pi Isarele jah pyen naki naw, “Isarele cun, tuinu kama, kdiyüta mäiha däm u sepi avange däk naw ni küikyannak ami yah kawm.
28 For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness; because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of the earth."
Bawipa naw khawmdek khana khyange cun angenga ngthu jah mkhyah pe khaia pha law khai” a ti.
29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."
Hesajah kung naw, “Hlüngtai säihki Bawipa naw mi mjükphyüie am a jah phyäi vai sü üng ta, Sodom mlüh ja Komorah mlüha mäiha mi kham khaie sü” tia a na pyenki.
30 What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Khyangmjükcee vei mi pyen vai ta amimät jah amimät Pamhnam üng am ngsungpyun hlü u lü amimäta pawhmsah üng ngsungpyun hlükie cun jumnak am amät am a jah ngsungpyunsak.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
Isarele ngsungpyunnaka thum ktämkie naw ngsungpyunnaka thum am hmu ve u.
32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
Ise ni? Jumnak üng am ktäm u lü bilawhnak am yah theia mäiha ami ktäma phäha kyaki. “Ngsukeinaka lung” üng ngsukeikie.
33 even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
Cangcim naw, “Tenga khyangea ngsukeinak vai lung ja kyukngtänaka lungnu cun Zion mcunga ka taki, au pi Ani jumeikie naküt cun am hela u” tia pyenki.
