Romans 3
1 What, then, is the preeminence of the Jew? Or what, the profit of his circumcision?
Judahe cun khyangmjükcee kthaka ami kyäpnak bawk veki aw? Vun mawih khameinak cun kü bawki aw?
2 Much, every way: —First, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Akcanga anaküt üng akcüka Pamhnam naw amäta ngthu cun Judahe üng jah peki.
3 For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?
Judah avangea am ami sitihnak naw Pamhnam cun am sitihkia thawnsak thei khai aw?
4 Far be it! But let, God, prove to be, true, albeit, every man, be false! Even as it is written—That thou mightest be declared righteous in thy words, and overcome when thou art in judgment.
Acun kba am ni; Khyang naküt hlei sepi Pamhnam cun cangki ni, “Na ngthu pyen cun cang lü, ngthumkhyah üng pi ngnängnak na yah khai” tia Cangcim naw pyenki.
5 But, if, our unrighteousness, commendeth, God’s righteousness, what shall we say? Surely, not unrighteous, is God who visiteth with his anger? After the manner of men, I am speaking, —
Cunsepi am dawkia mi pawhmsahnak naw Pamhnama pawhmsah naküt dawki tia a mdan üng, i mi ti thei khai ni? Pamhnam naw a jah ksücet üng Pamhnam naw akhye pawhki mi ti thei khai aw? (Ahin cun kthäh vaia nglawi kungki ni).
6 Far be it! Else how shall God judge the world?
Acukba am ani üng, Pamhnam am a cang üng ani naw ihawkba khawmdek ngthumkhyah pe khai ni?
7 But, if, the truth of God, by my falsehood, hath the more abounded unto his glory, why, any longer, am, even I, as a sinner, to be judged?
Cunsepi, am ka cangnak naw Pamhnama hlüngtainak cun akcanga mdanki ni. Ise kei khyangka mäiha mkateia ka kya khai ni?
8 And why not, according as we are injuriously charged, [and] according as some affirm that we say, Let us do the bad things, that the good ones may come? whose sentence is, just.
“Akdaw a pha law vaia, mkhyekatnak mi pawh vai u” tia ise am mi ti ni? Khyang avang naw ami na mkateinak vaia ahine jah pyenkie ni. Ami yah vai kunga mkateinak yah khaie.
9 What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;
Acunüng, mimi Judahe cun Khyangmjükce kthaka mi dawnak veki aw? Am ve. Judahe ja khyangmjükce avan cun mkhyekatnaka akea mi veki ti cun ka ning jah mhnuh päng ni.
10 Even as it is written—there is none righteous, not even one,
Cangcim naw a pyena kba “Upi am ngsungpyun,
11 There is none that discerneth, There is none that seeketh out God:
ksingnak taki ja Pamhnam mküimtoki matca pi am ve,
12 All, have turned aside, together, have become useless, There is none that doeth kindness, not so much as one:
“Ami van naw Pamhnam nghlatakie, akcea ami van citkie; akdaw pawhki upi am ve, mat pi am ve.
13 A sepulchre opened, is their throat, with their tongues, have they used deceit, the poison of asps, is under their lips,
“Ami khyü nglung he cun thihnak vaia kya lü; ami mleie am hleihlaknak ngthu pyenkie. Ami mkae üng kpyukpyaia sik am beki.”
14 Whose mouth, of cursing and bitterness, is full,
“Ami pyenksake cun ng'yüncenak am beki.”
15 Swift, are their feet to shed blood;
“Ami khawe cun khyang hnimnak da hlah u lü;
16 Destruction and misery, are in their ways,
ami cehnak naküt üng pyüpyehnak ja khuikhanake jah ta hütkie;
17 And, the way of peace, have they not known:
dim’yenaka lam pi am ksing u,
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
“Pamhnam pi am kyühei u.”
19 Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.
Thum üng ve nakütki hin thuma keha vekiea phäha sängeikia tia mi ksingki; acunakyase, khawmdek khyange nghuingphanak käh jah mhlät lü lei naküt law püi lü Pamhnam naw avana lei cun ngthu jah mkhyah pet khaia kyaki.
20 Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him, —through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.
Acukba, thum cun mi mkhyekatnak ksingeinak vaia ve lawkia kyase, thum üng u süm pi Pamhnama hmaia am ngsungpyun hlawt khai.
21 But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, —
Tuhkbäih cun, Pamhnam naw amät am a jah ngsungpyunsak cun mdan pängki ni. Mosia Thum ja sahmae naw ami saksinak kyaw u lü pi Thuma bilawh vai am ve.
22 A righteousness of God, through faith in [Jesus] Christ, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, —
Acun cun, Pamhnama ngsungpyunnak, Jesuh Khritaw jumnaka phäha kya lü, jumeikie avana phäha kyaki. Acunakyase, hngalangnak am ve:
23 For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
khyang naküt mkhyekat lü Pamhnama hlüngtainak üngka naw thuk vaikie.
24 Being declared righteous freely by his favour through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: —
Jah lätlangsaki Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh, aphu am pe xa lü Pamhnama bäkhäknak am avan naw ngsungpyunnak yaha kyaki.
25 Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing-by of the previously committed sins,
Pamhnam naw ani cun a jah pet. Ani mi jumeinak üng a thisena phäha ami mkhyekatnak mhlätnak vaia kyaki. Ahlana ami mkhyekatnake cun mlungsaünak am jah büktengki cunsepi atuh cun amäta ngsungpyunnak a mdannak vaia khyangea mkhyekatnak jah cijang petki. Ahikba a pawhnak am Pamhnam naw amät ngsungpyunnak mdan lü, Jesuh Khritaw jumki naküt cun pi ngsungpyunsaki ni.
26 In the forbearance of God, —with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:
Acukba akya üng, mi awhcahnak vai ve khai aw? Am ve! Thum mi läk lü aw? Am ni. Jumnak üng ni akyak ve.
28 For we reckon that a man is to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.
Acunakyase, khyang cun jumnak am ngsungpyun lü thuma ngjak'hlü bilawhnaka phäha am ni.
29 Or, [is God] the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also: —
Am ani üng Pamhnam cun Judahe däka Pamhnama kyaki aw? Khyangmjükceea Pamhnama pi am kyaki aw? Kyaki, khyangmjükceea Pamhnama pi kyaki.
30 If, at all events, God is one, who will declare righteous—the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through their faith.
Pamhnam mat däk kya lü, Judahe cun ami jumnaka phäha amät am jah ngsungpyunsak lü Khyangmjükcee cun ami jumnak üngkhyüh jah ngsungpyunsaki.
31 Do we then make, law, void through means of our faith? Far be it! On the contrary, law, we do establish!
Acunakyaküng, jumeinaka phäha Thum mi hawihki aw? Am mi hawih, mi khängsaki ni.
