Romans 9
1 Truth, say I, in Christ, I utter no falsehood, —my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, —
Ngah ih ami tiit baat hang; ngah Kristo mina eno ngah ih eleek tiit tabaat kang. Ngaathung ngaatak ah, Esa Chiiala ih maak halang, erah damdi ngah suh eleek tiit tabaat thuk rang
2 That I have great grief and incessant travail in my heart;
nga chamnaang tumthan ehan ah ih taatli ang bah uh, adoleh ngah ten sat ah lathoon thang taat ang abah uh,
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; —
nga mina ngaasi ngaahan loong raangtaan ih ah! Neng tungthoih nga ih Rangte tenkhat nep chote ih thuntang nyia Kristo jiin nawa haloh nah angte nep ih thuntang.
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,
Neng loong ah Rangte mina; heh ih neng hesuh hesah ih thiik rumha eno heh rangkaajih ah dongjat thuk rumha, heh ih neng damdi jengdang ah hoon ano Hootthe ah thiin korumta; neng ih amiimi ih Rangte ah soom rum ano Rangte jeng kakham ah choh rumta;
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)
neng ah Hebruute awah sutoom satoom ang rumta; eno Kristo uh mina jun ih neng jaat ju angta. Erah loong panchante wah seng Rangte ajuuba roitang phoongpha theng ju angka! 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.
Nga ih Rangte jeng kakham tapunka ih taliikang, tumeah Ijirel nawa mina loongtang ah Rangte mih tah angka.
7 Neither, because they are seed of Abraham, are all children, —but, In Isaac, shall there be called unto thee a seed.
Adoleh Abraham sutoom satoom loongtang ah Rangte sutoom satoom tah ang rumka. Rangte ih Abraham suh amet baatta, “An damdi khakham hala langla, Isak puh asak nawa ih ba an sutoom satoom ah tup uh.”
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.
Erah langla marah noodek jojang ih tup ha loong abah Rangte sah tami angka; erah nang ih noodek marah Rangte jeng kakham jun ih tup ha loong abah amiimi Abraham sutoom satoom ang ah.
9 For, of promise, is this word—According to this season, will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Tumeah Rangte jeng kakham ah arah jengkhaap jun ih angta: “Anoong arah tokdoh ngah ngaak ra ehang, eno Saara ih miwasah dong tup ah.”
10 And, not only so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one—Isaac our father, —
Enoothong erah luulu tah angka. Tumeah Rebika sah khaangpeh wanyi ah seng loong te awah Isak wasiit sah angta.
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,
Heh sah wanyi dowa wasiit abah Rangte mootkaat raang ih jaat danje arah, Rebika suh Rangte ih amet baatta, “Phokhoh rah noolih jeng chaatte ang ah.” Rangte ih erah nyi maangtupka di nyi ethih ese maang danjat nyuuka jaakhoh ih dook banbaatta; erah thoih Rangte ih neng mootkaat pakna ah sok ano tadan poonka erah nang ih heh thunghaanla jun danpoon ha.
12 It was said unto her—The elder, shall serve the younger;
13 Even as it is written—Jacob, have I loved, but, Esau, have I hated.
Rangteele ni liiha likhiik, “Jaakob ah nook ehang, Esau ah echiik ehang.”
14 What, then, shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!
Erah ang abah, seng ih Rangte ah asuh tapunka ih emi li tam et ih? Seng ih tami liike.
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.
Tumeah Rangte ih Moses suh uh amet baatta, “Ngah ih nga thung o suh pun ah erah mih ah minchan ang nyia nga thung o suh haan ang erah tenthet et ang.”
16 Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.
Erah thoih jaatrep ah seng reeraang nyia ejam et hi jun ih tami angka, erah nang ih Rangte minchan tenthet luulu nawa ih ba jen ang ah.
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.
Ijip luungwang raang ih Rangteele ni amet liiha, “An luungwang ih hoon thuk taha ah langla, nga chaan nga phaan ah an sak nawa ih arah mongrep mina loong suh noisok raangtaan ih.”
18 Hence, then, —on whom he pleaseth, he hath mercy, and, whom he pleaseth, he doth harden.
Eno laalek Rangte ih heh thungthung jun ih mararah ah minchan eha nyia mararah asuh jong ajaan tenthun likhiik ang thuk ah.
19 Thou wilt say to me, then—Why longer findeth he fault? For, his purpose, who hath withstood?
Enoothong sengdung nawa wasiit than ih ngah suh liite, emah ang abah Rangte ih o ang abah uh ethetreete ah mamet mi jatjoh ah? Rangte thung atak ah o ih jen daan ah?”
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?
Enoothong joon awaan loong, Rangte damdoh jen daakwaan theethe sen o ah? Paaktek ih heh hoon teewah mina asuh miicheng nih et ah, “An ih nga arah likhiik mamet hoon tahang?”
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?
Erah nang ih bah tek hoonte warah ih heh mame thunghaan ah erah jun ih ba maak ah, erarah paakkon dowa reh tek enyi ah hoon ano, esiit ah hoondak rangwuung doh jen maak ah, eno esiit ah jojang rangteng doh jen maak ah.
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,
Eno amiisak di erah likhiik Rangte ih hoonha. Heh ih heh tenkhat nyia hechaan hephaan ah dongjat thuk suh ah. Enoothong o suh heh tenkhat jih taat angta nyia thet haatjih taat angta bah uh rapne ih naanta.
23 In order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy which he prepared beforehand for glory, —
Erah dam ih uh, heh ih minchan hali seng loong asuh hechaan hephaan ah noisok thuk suh liiha, seng loong ah hechaan hephaan chosuh maang ih dook ban khookham he rah angti.
24 Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, [what then?]
Tumeah seng loong ah heh ih poonhe rah noksong, enoothong seng loong ah Jehudi dung nawa luulu lah angthang ih Ranglajatte dung nawa nep.
25 As also in Hosea he saith—I will call the not-my-people, My people, and the not-beloved, beloved,
Hosia leedap ni heh ih aradi amet liiha: “Marah mina loong nga mih tah angta Erah loong ah ‘Nga mina ih poon ang.’ Marah deek akaan nga ih tah minchan tang Erah loong ah ‘Nga mongnook’ ih poon ang.
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.
Marah dowa ih ngah ih neng suh ‘Nga mina tah ang kan’ ih baat rumtang, erah dowa ih neng ah ething Rangte suh asah et poon rum ang.”
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;
Erah dam ih Isaia ih Ijirel hadaang tiit baatta: Ijirel mina loong ah juungsih dowa phisaang thanthan taat ang ang abah uh neng dung dowa eneeko mina ah ba pi ah;
28 For, a complete and concise account, will the Lord make upon the earth.
tumeah Teesu ih mongrep nawa heh mootkaat ah echaan ih phansiit raaha.”
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.
Jaakhoh ni Isaia ih banbaatta likhiik, “Teesu Elongthoon ih mararah heh sutoom satoom loong dowa lamok thingtong thukta bah, seng uh Sodom nyi Gomora likhiik ih ang thengti.”
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;
Erah thoih seng ih liihi Ranglajatte loong ah ih Rangte damdi kateng angsuh tathun rumta, neng loong ah neng tuungmaang jun ih kateng ih hoon thuk rumta adi;
31 Whereas, Israel, though in pursuit of a law of righteousness, unto a law, have not attained.
Rangte mina o ih Rangte damdoh kateng angsuh hootthe jam rumta loong ah ih tachoh jam rumta.
32 Wherefore? Because, not by faith but as by works, [have they sought it]: they have stumbled at the stone of stumbling,
Mamah lachoh eta? Tumeah neng ih neng tuungmaang asuh lalaalom thang ih, neng mootkaat asuh laalom rumta. Erah thoidi neng lam ngah nawa “ebanbot theng jong” adi banbot rumta.
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.
Erah tiit ah Rangteele ni baatcho: “Sok an ngah ih Jaion hadaang ni jong thiin hang erah doh mina loong ah banbot rum ah, erah jong adoh banbot leh datti ih rum ah. Enoothong o mina heh suh hanpiiha loong abah tathungjoongka.
