Romans 10
1 My fellow believers, what I deeply desire and what I pray to God earnestly for is that he will save [my own people], [the Jews].
Kasopi deitah teho, kalunga kagelkhoh jingle Pathen'a kataona hi Israel mite huhhing'a aumna dingu hi ahi.
2 I declare truthfully about them that although they (zealously seek/very much want to know) God, they do not understand [how to seek/know him correctly].
Amahon Pathen'a thanopna aneinau chu ipi ahi kahei, hinla hichu hetkhenna beiya kipehna nei ahiuve.
3 They did not (submit themselves to/accept) the way that God erases the record of people’s sins. They did not [want to] recognize [that way] because they wanted him to do it their own way.
Ajeh chu amahon Pathen in miho chu Ama a dinga athemchan thudol hi ahethei pouve. Pathen tohgon chu amahon asan nomlou jeh uvin, amaho lung ngaito jui'a Pathen themchanna mu ding chu alunggon'u ahi.
4 They wanted God to erase the record of their sins [as a result of their obeying his laws. But] because of what Christ has done, it is no longer necessary for [people to obey] the laws [God gave Moses in order for the record of their sins to be erased]. Now God will erase the record of sins of everyone who trusts [in what Christ has done].
Ajehchu Christa chun Danthu kipehlona ajehchu anasuh bulhitsa ahitai. Hiche jal'a chu Ama tahsan jouse chu Pathen themchanna asodoh ahitai.
5 In regard to [the old] way, Moses wrote [concerning people who obey God’s] laws, “It is the people who have done [perfectly] the things [that the laws require] who will gain [eternal] life by [doing] them.”
Ajehchu Mose chun Danthua mikhat themchanna dinga athupehsa chu nit ding ahi, ati.
6 But those whose record of sins God has erased as a result of their believing [in Christ] can say [to anyone] [PRS] [as Moses said], “You should not [critically] think inwardly, ‘(Someone will have to go up and enter heaven!/Who will go up and enter heaven?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go up and] bring Christ down [to bring the message of salvation to us]!
Hinlah tahsanjal'a Pathen themchan theina ding chun, “Nangman nalung thima koi vana gakal ding ham (Christa chu vana kona agapuilhah ding kiseina ahi).
7 “Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
Chule koi mithiho lah a gakumsuh ding ham? (Christa chu hinsah kitna ding in) tihih un. (Abyssos g12)
8 But instead, [those who believe in Christ] [PRS] can say what [RHQ] [Moses also said], “You [(sg)] can find out about [God’s] message very easily. You can speak [MTY] about it; you can think [MTY] about it.” This is the message that we proclaim, that people must believe [in Christ].
Tahbeh mong'in, hitin ati. Athupoh chu ahung nailheh-e; hichu nakam sungle nalung sunga aume.” Chule chuche thupeh chu keihon kalhangsap'u tahsan thudol chu ahi.
9 [This message is that] if anyone of you confesses/says publicly that Jesus is Lord, and if you [(sg)] believe that God (caused him to become alive again after he died/raised him from the dead), you will be saved {[God] will save you}.
Nangman nakam'a Yeshua chu Pakai ahi tia naphondoh-a chule Pathen in Ama chu athilah a kon'in akaithoutai ti nalungsunga natahsan tah-a ahileh huhhing'a um nahi ding ahitai.
10 If people believe [that Christ died and that God caused him to become alive again] [CHI], the result is that [God will erase the record of their sins]. And [for] those who state/declare publicly [that Jesus is their Lord], the result is that [God] will save them.
Ajehchu nalung sunga natahsan chun Pathen themchanna chu nachan sah ahitai, chule na-phondoh chun nangma huhhing'a naumsah ahitai.
11 [It is written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures [PRS] [about the Messiah], “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Pathen lekhabun eiseipeh-u dungjuiyin, “Koi hijongleh ama tahsan chan chu jachatna a chulou ding ahi” ati.
12 [God] treats Jews and non-Jews similarly. Because he is the same Lord for all people [who believe in him], he abundantly [blesses] all who ask him [to save them].
Hiche thudol a hin Judah mite le chidang namdang ho thakhat ahitai. Amahon Pakai khat aneikhom'un, Ama kou jouse chu lungsetna bulhingset apei.
13 This is [just like what the prophet Joel wrote]: “All those who ask the Lord [God] to save them will be saved {The Lord [God] will save all those who ask him to save them}.”
Ajehchu koihileh Pakai min'a taochan chu huhhing'a umding ahi.
14 [In regard to the people of Israel rejecting the gospel, some people might object by saying], (OR, [This raises another problem about the Jews]: ) “(They certainly cannot ask [Christ to save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]!/How can they ask [Christ to help/save them] if they have not [first] believed [in him]?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot believe [in him] if they have not heard about him!/how can they believe [in him] if they have not heard about him?) [RHQ] And (they certainly cannot hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]!/how can they hear [about him] if someone does not preach to them [about him]?) [RHQ]
Hinlah amahon Ama atahsanlou uleh a-huhhing theina dinga iti akou thei dingu ham? Chule Ama thudol anajah khah lou u ahileh iti ahin tahsan thei dingu ham? Chule koiham khat'in aseipeh louva ahileh amahon iti achungchang thu ajah thei dingu ham?
15 And those who preach to them [about Christ], (certainly cannot preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach!]/how can they preach if they are not sent [by God] {if [God] does not send them} [to preach]?) [RHQ] [His sending messengers to them would be] just like it is written {like someone wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘The arrival [MTY] of those who preach the good message is wonderful!’”
Chule akisol aum louhela ahileh, koipen gachea amaho thu agaseipeh dingu ham? Hichejeh a chu Pathen thubun, “Kipana Thupha poa vahle ho keng iti hoiya hoi hitam,” ati ahi.
16 [I would reply in this way to people who say such things: God has indeed sent people to preach the message about Christ]. But not all [the people of Israel] have paid attention to the good message! [It is like what] Isaiah said [when he felt very discouraged], “Lord, it seems as if hardly anyone believed what they heard us [(exc)] preach! [RHQ]”
Hinlah amichang cheh in Kipana Thupha chu anasang pouve, Ajehchu Isaiah Themgaovin, “Pakai kathupoh-u tahsan'a koi ham?” anati.
17 So then, [I tell you that people] are believing [in Christ] as a result of hearing [the message about him], and people are hearing [the message] as a result of [people] preaching [about] Christ!
Hitichun, tahsan chu thujah a kon ahin, hichu Christa chung chang thujah a kon ahi.
18 But [if someone were to] ask, “Have not [the people of Israel] heard [the message about God?]” [I would reply that they] certainly [have heard it]! It is like [what is written in the Psalms], [People living] all over the world [PRS, MTY] [have seen the stars], and what they indicate [about God’s character has reached people living in] the most remote places in the world [DOU]!
Hinlah ken kadongin, “Israel miten thu hunglhung thu chu ajah tahbeh-u hinam?” Henge, ajanauve. “Thu hunglhung chu leiset kolkimvel'a akithe chansoh in, chule thuchu vannoi mun jousea alhungsoh-e.”
19 But [someone might ask], “[Is it true that the people of] [MTY] Israel understood [the message about Christ]?” [I would reply that certainly they understood it, but they rejected it! Remember that] Moses was the first [one who warned the people of Israel about disobeying God. He told them that God said], [You consider that] non-Jewish groups are not nations at all [CHI]. But some of them [will believe in me, and I will bless them]. Then you will envy them. I will cause you to be angry with those people whom [you Jews think] do not understand [my ways] [IRO].
Hinlah ken kadong'in, “Israel mipiten ahet khen mong'u hinam?” kati'e. Henge, aheuve, ajehchu Mose phatlai jeng jong chun Pathen in aseijin, “Keiman nangho namkhat hiloulai hojong miho thangset sah dinga ngolnaa chu kalunghansah ding ahi,” ati.
20 Remember also [what God] said [very] boldly to Isaiah: Non-Jews who did not (try to know/seek) me will surely find me [DOU]! I will surely reveal what I am like to those who did not ask for me!
Chule khonungin Isaiah chun, lung ngam tah in Pathen'a kon'in hitin aseiye, “Keiman kamite kamudoh dingho chu einahelou miho hiding ahiuve. Keima eidonlou beh ho chu keiman kakimudoh sah ding ahi,” ati.
21 But concerning [the people of] Israel, [Isaiah] tells [us that God said]: For a long time I have held out my arms to people who disobeyed and rebelled against me, [in order] to invite them to return to me.
“Hinlah, Israel chung chang thua, Pathen in aseiyin, nilhum keiyin keiman amaho chunga kakhut kajah in, hinla amaho seingai louleh engset hatte ahiuve,” ati.
