Romans 9
1 I speak truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that
Khritaw üng, ngthu kcang ka pyenki, am ka hleiki ni, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima phäha, akdaw ja akse ksingnak thei naw pi na ksingpüi se,
2 I have great grief and unceasing anguish in my heart.
ka khuikhanak ka pyen üng mlung üng am düt theikia natnak ka taki.
3 For I could wish to be myself accursed and cast out from Christ in behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen as 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; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, 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 whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! 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 Not as though the word of God hath failed; for not all they that are of Israel are Israel;
Cunsepi, Pamhnama ngthu cun am ngtähki tia am pyen veng. Isarela mjükphyüie naküt, Isarel kcanga kya päihkiea am kya;
7 nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but, “Thy offspring shall be reckoned from Isaac.”
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, not the children by natural descent are children of God, but the children to whom the promise is made are accounted as the offspring.
Acun cun, mtisa lama cae cun Pamhnama caea am kya u lü khyütamnak am cae cun Abrahama caea kyakie tinaka kyaki.
9 For the word of promise is this: “At this time I will come, and Sarah shall 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 so, but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man, our father Isaac,
Acun däka am kya, Rabeka naw mi pu Isaka phäh angphi a mpyainak üng,
11 before the children were born, or had done any thing good or evil, to the end that God's purpose according to election might stand, not depending on works, but on the will of him that calleth,
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 shall serve the younger:”
a veia, “Angvai cun akdika mpyaa kya khai” tia Pamhnam naw a pyen.
13 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 then shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!
I mi pyen vai veki? Pamhnam cun am ngsungpyunki mi ti khai aw? Pamhnam am ngsungpyunkia am kya.
15 For he saith to Moses, “On whom I have mercy, on him will I have mercy; and on whom I have compassion, on him will 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 dependeth not on him that willeth, nor on him that runneth, but on God who showeth mercy.
Acunakyase, anaküt cun khyanga ngjak'hlü am kya lü Pamhnama mpyeneinaka phäha ni akya ve.
17 For the Scripture saith to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show forth my power in thee, and that my name might be made known 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 hath mercy on whom he will, and hardeneth whom he will.
Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw a mpyenei hlü mpyenei lü, a mlung a ngcangsak hlü ngcangsaki.
19 Hence thou wilt say to me, Why then doth he still find fault? for who resisteth his will?
Acunakyaküng, “Pamhnam naw ise jah mkateiki ni? U naw a ngjak'hlü mkhyeki ni?” Mat mat naw ti taw khai.
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that makest answer to God? Shall the thing that is wrought say to the workman, Why hast thou made me thus?
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 Hath not the potter a right out of the same lump of clay to make one vessel for an honorable use, and another for a dishonorable?
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 endured with much patience vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, purposing to manifest his wrath and to make known his power;
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 purposing also to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared 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 whom he also called, even us, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the gentiles?
Judahe däk üngkaa am kya lü, Khyangmjükcee üngkae pi a jah khü.
25 as he also saith in Hosea, “I will call that my people, which was not my people; and her beloved, that was not beloved.
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 And it shall be, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called sons 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 But Isaiah crieth out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
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 is accomplishing his word and speedily fulfilling it in righteousness; for a speedily fulfilled word will the Lord execute upon the earth.”
Bawipa naw khawmdek khana khyange cun angenga ngthu jah mkhyah pe khaia pha law khai” a ti.
29 And as Isaiah hath said before, “Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and 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 then shall we say? That the gentiles, who did not strive after righteousness, obtained righteousness, but a 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 while Israel, which strove after a law of righteousness, did not attain to a law of righteousness.
Isarele ngsungpyunnaka thum ktämkie naw ngsungpyunnaka thum am hmu ve u.
32 Why? Because they did not strive for it by faith, but as being by works. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling;
Ise ni? Jumnak üng am ktäm u lü bilawhnak am yah theia mäiha ami ktäma phäha kyaki. “Ngsukeinaka lung” üng ngsukeikie.
33 as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall 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.
