Romans 9
1 Truth, say I, in Christ, I utter no falsehood, —my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, —
Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
2 That I have great grief and incessant travail in my heart;
Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
3 For I could have wished to be accursed, even I myself, from the Christ, in behalf of my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh; —
Te dongah pumsa ah ka huiko ka manuca rhoek yueng la kamah rhoe Khrih lamloh ka paek uh vetih kosi yook ham ka thangthui.
4 Who, indeed, are Israelites, whose are the sonship, and the glory, and the covenants, and the legislation, and the divine service, and the promises,
Amih tah Israel rhoek ni, cacah neh thangpomnah khaw, paipi rhoek neh olrhinah khaw, thothuengnah khaw, olkhueh khaw amih kah ni.
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ—according to the flesh—he who is over all, God, blessed unto the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A napa rhoek neh amih lamkah ni Khrih te pumsa ah ha thoeng. A cungkuem soah aka om Pathen tah kumhal ah uemom pai saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 It is not, however, as though the word of God had failed; for, not all they who are of Israel, the same are Israel.
Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
7 Neither, because they are seed of Abraham, are all children, —but, In Isaac, shall there be called unto thee a seed.
Abraham kah tiingan la a om uh dongah a ca boeih pawt dae Isaak ah na tiingan la a khue ni a ti ta.
8 That is—not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed.
Te tah pumsa kah camoe la aka om pawt rhoek tah Pathen kah a ca rhoek la om. Tedae olkhueh kah ca rhoek tah a tiingan la a nawt.
9 For, of promise, is this word—According to this season, will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
10 And, not only so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one—Isaac our father, —
Te bueng pawt tih Ribekka khaw a pa Isaak bueng nen ni a. ihnah a om.
11 They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad, —in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand, —not by works but by him that was calling,
A cun hlan tih thae then pakhat khaw a saii uh moenih. Te daengah ni a. coelh bangla Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a naeh eh.
12 It was said unto her—The elder, shall serve the younger;
Khoboe dongah pawt tih a khue rhangnen ni anih te, “Tanglue loh mathoe kah sal a bi ni,” a ti nah.
13 Even as it is written—Jacob, have I loved, but, Esau, have I hated.
A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
14 What, then, shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!
Te koinih balae n'ti eh? Pathen he boethae pawt nim? Tlamte a om moenih.
15 For, unto Moses, he saith—I will have mercy upon whomsoever I can have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whomsoever I can have compassion.
Moses te, “Ka rhen tangtae te tah ka rhen bal vetih ka sitloh tangtae te tah sitloh bal ni,” a ti nah.
16 Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.
Te dongah aka ngaih kah pawt tih aka yong kah tangloeng moenih. Tedae Pathen kah a rhen rhoek kah ni.
17 For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh—Unto this end, have I raised thee up, that I may thus shew in thee my power, and that I may declare my name in all the earth.
Cacim loh Pharaoh te, “Nang te amah la kan pacuet. Te daengah ni ka thaomnah te nang ah ka phoe eh. Te daengah ni diklai pum ah ka ming a doek eh?,” a ti nah.
18 Hence, then, —on whom he pleaseth, he hath mercy, and, whom he pleaseth, he doth harden.
Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
19 Thou wilt say to me, then—Why longer findeth he fault? For, his purpose, who hath withstood?
Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
20 O man! Who, nevertheless, art, thou, that art answering again unto God? Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it—Why didst thou make me thus?
Aw u hlang nang dae nim Pathen te oelh la naka om, a saii hno loh aka hlom aka bol kung te, “Balae tih kai nan saii van?” na ti nah pawt nim?
21 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay—out of the same lump, to make some, indeed, into a vessel for honour, and some for dishonour?
Ambop loh amlai te a hlom boeiloeih dae he tah tuisi am la, ke tah am mailai la saithainah a khueh moenih a?
22 And, if God—wishing to shew his anger and to make known his power—bare, in much patience, with vessels of anger already fitted for destruction,
Tedae Pathen loh a kosi sah ham neh a tatthai te phoe sak ham a ngaih. pocinah ham a hmoel kosi am te thinsennah neh muep ueh koinih ta?
23 In order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy which he prepared beforehand for glory, —
Te daengah ni amah kah thangpomnah cungkuem te rhennah am dongah a phoe sak tangloeng eh. Te ni thangpomnah la a hmoel.
24 Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, [what then?]
Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
25 As also in Hosea he saith—I will call the not-my-people, My people, and the not-beloved, beloved,
Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
26 And it shall be—in the place where it was said [to them]—not my people are, ye! there, shall they be called—Sons of a Living God.
Te vaengah amih te, 'Nangmih he ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah aka hing Pathen kah a ca rhoek la khue la om ni,” a ti van bangla,
27 Isaiah, moreover, exclaimeth over Israel—Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant, shall be saved;
Isaiah long tah Israel ham, “Israel ca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om cakhaw a meet ni a. daem eh.
28 For, a complete and concise account, will the Lord make upon the earth.
Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
29 And, even as Isaiah hath before said, —If, the Lord of hosts, had not left us a seed, as Sodom, had we become, and, as Gomorrha, had we been made like.
Te dongah Isaiah loh a thui vanbangla caempuei Boeipa loh mamih kah tiingan he hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla n'om uh vetih Gomorrah neh n'thuidoek uh ni.
30 What, then, shall we say? That, they of the nations, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have laid hold of righteousness, —a righteousness, however, which is by faith;
Te phoeiah balae n'thui eh? Duengnah aka hnuktlak pawh namtom rhoek loh duengnah a rhawt. Tedae duengnah tangnah nen ni a dang.
31 Whereas, Israel, though in pursuit of a law of righteousness, unto a law, have not attained.
Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
32 Wherefore? Because, not by faith but as by works, [have they sought it]: they have stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
33 Even as it is written—Lo! I lay in Zion, a stone to strike against and a rock to stumble over, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame.
A daek vanbangla Zion ah caehkoek lungto neh thangkui lungpang ka khueh ke. Tedae amah te aka tangnah tah yahpok mahpawh.
