Romans 11
1 I say then, did God reject his people? May it never be. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Acunüng, Pamhnam naw a khyange jah mahki aw? Am ja mah. Kei pi Isarel khyang, Abrahama mjükphyüi, Benjamina sang üngkaa ka kyaki ni.
2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel?
Pamhnam naw akcüka a jah xüpänga khyange am jah mah khawi. Cangcim naw Elijaha mawng a pyen am nami ngja khawiki aw? Elijah naw Isarelea mawng Pamhnama veia pyen lü,
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.”
“Bawipa, na sahmae jah hnim u lü; na kpyawngkunge jah kpyeh u se, kei däk ka xüngki, kei pi na hnim khaiea bükie ni” a ti.
4 But what does God's answer say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bent the knee to Baal.”
Acunüng, Pamhnam naw ihawkba jah a msang be? “Am dawkia Baal mhnam am mküimtokiea khyang thawng khyüh ka phäha ka jah taki” ti lü a msang.
5 Even so then, at this present time also there is a remnant because of the choice of grace.
Acukba tuhkbäih pi, a bäkhäknak am a jah xü, ajaw ve hamkie.
6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer by works. Otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
A bäkhäknak üng a jah xüa akya üng, bilawhnak üng am kya; acukba am akya üng bäkhäknak cun bäkhäknak kcanga mäi am law.
7 What then? The thing that Israel was seeking, it did not obtain, but the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
I mi pyen khai? Isarele naw ami sui am hmu u. A xüea khyang ngcek naw ni ami sui cun ami hmuh u. Aknung bawk naw Pamhnama khünak am ngja u.
8 It is just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of dullness, eyes so that they should not see, and ears so that they should not hear, to this very day.”
Cangcim üng, “Pamhnam naw tuhkbäih däa ami mlung ja ami ksingnak jah nghmüpsak se tuhvei cäpa am hmu ngja u” tia pyenki.
9 Then David says, “Let their table become a net and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
Acunüng, Davit naw, “Ami eiawknak cun ami ng’awhnak vaia kya lü, ami kyukngtänak vaia pi kyase;
10 Let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see, and bend their backs continually.”
Am hmu thei khaiea, ami mik pi mü law se, khuikhanaka maa anglät se jah ngkunsak vai” a ti.
11 I say then, “Did they stumble so as to fall?” May it never be. Instead, by their failure, salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
Ka ning jah kthähki, Isarele cun kyuktäng pyawce khaiea ngvänkie aw? Acukba am kya. Isarelea mkhyekatnak cun khyangmjüceea phäh küikyannak vai ja kya law lü Isarele naw jah k’eihkie.
12 Now if their failure is the riches of the world, and if their loss is the riches of the Gentiles, how much greater will their completion be?
Isarelea mkhyekatnak naw khawmdeka bawimangnaka kya lü Ngmüimkhya lama khuikhakie khyangmjücea phäh bawimangnak lawpüiki. Ami kümbenak ami law vai süa ta ihlawka daw khai ni.
13 But now I am speaking to you Gentiles, and as long as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry.
Tuhkbäih Khyangmjükceea veia ka pyenki. Khyangmjükceea veia ngsäa ka kyaa küt üng, ka khutbi ka awhcahnaki.
14 Perhaps I will provoke to jealousy those who are of my own flesh. Perhaps we will save some of them.
Acun cun, kamäta khyange k’eihnak ta khaiea ja pawh lü, avange ka jah küikyannak vaia kyaki.
15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
Ami mahnak cun khawmdek khyang naküta phäh Pamhnama ye üngka naw a püia nglat law bekie ni. Ami a jah dokham cun ihawkba vai ni? Acun cun akthiea phäh xünnak vai ni.
16 If the firstfruits are reserved, so is the lump of dough. If the root is reserved, so are the branches.
Acunüng, muk pyan ma Pamhnam üng pet üng, muk avan pi a kaa kya khai, thinga pyae Pamhnam üng pet üng a ngbane pi a kaa kyaki.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, if you, a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them, and if you shared with them in the rich root of the olive tree,
Nglina olip ngban avang ek se, olip kcanga am kyaki acun üng ngsu law khaie. Olip kcang am nikia nangmi khyangmjükcee cun Judahea ngmüimkhya xünak nami yumeipüikie ni,
18 do not boast over the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you who supports the root, but the root that supports you.
a ngban eke käh jah hmumsita. Nang cun a ngban kya lü käh awhcaha. Awhcah lü pi nang aphung na mcahkia am na kyaki, aphung naw ni a ning mcah ve.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
Acunüng, nang naw, “Ä! ekia ngban naw ka phäha hnün na peki na ti khai.”
20 That is true. Because of their unbelief they were broken off, but you stand firm because of your faith. Do not think too highly of yourself, but fear.
Cang ve, am ami jumeia phäha jah k’eha kyaki, nang na jumeinaka phäha na ngdüiki. Käh awhcah lü kyüheia.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Pamhnam naw a ngban kcange pi am a jah msawk üng, nang pi am ning msawk law sawxat khai.
22 Look at, then, the kind actions and the severity of God: severity came on the Jews who fell, but God's kindness comes on you, if you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
Acunakyase Pamhnama a dawnak ja a kyühksenak cän ngaia, kyukngtängkiea phäha kyüh phyaki ni; a dawnak üng na ve nglät üng nanga phäha cun dawki ni; am acunüng ta nang pi ning ksawmpata na kya hnga khai.
23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again.
Acunüng, Judahe naw am ami jumnak ami hawih üng ami venak khawia ve be khaie, Pamhnam naw acukba jah pawh khawhki.
24 For if you were cut out of what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive tree, how much more will these Jews, who are the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree?
Nang olip kcanga am na kyaki pi ni ksawm u lü, am nami tängkia olip thing kdaw üng ning mdüna akya üng, a ngbane kcang cun ami phung kung olip thing üng jah mdünnak be vai jah hlüei bawk khai ni?
25 For I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, of this mystery, in order that you will not be wise in your own thinking. This mystery is that a partial hardening has occurred in Israel, until the completion of the Gentiles come in.
Ka püie aw, hina khyü ngthup hin nami ksing vai yü na veng. Namimät nami kthemkia käh nami ngai khaia, Khyangmjükceea kcün am a kümkawi law hama küt üng, Isarelea mlung nglangnak cun asäng ni.
26 Thus all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “Out of Zion will come the Deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob,
Acukba Isarele naw küikyannak yah khaie; Cangcim üng, “Zion mcung üngka naw jah küikyanki Bawipa pha law lü Pamhnam am ami ksingnak cun Jakopa mjükphyüi üngkhyüh jah mkhyüh law pet khai.”
27 and this will be my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
“Ami mkhyekatnake ka jah mhlät law pet üng, acun cun ami veia ka khyütam vaia kyaki” tia pyenki.
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake. But as far as election is concerned, they are beloved because of their forefathers.
Thangkdaw ami maha phäh, nangmia phäha Pamhnama yeea kyakie. Pamhnama a jah xünnak üng ta ami pupaea phäh Pamhnama püia kyakie.
29 For the gifts and the call of God are unchangeable.
Dawnak jah pe lü a jah xüa khana Pamhnam naw a mlung am thunghlai kawi.
30 For you were formerly disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience.
Ahlana Pamhnama ngthu am nami ngai khawiki, cunsepi, tuhkbäih cun Judahe naw ngthu am ami ngaih phäha mpyeneinak nami yahki.
31 In the same way, now these Jews have been disobedient. The result was that by the mercy shown to you they may also now receive mercy.
Acukba kunga, tuhkbäih cun Pamhnam naw ning jah mpyenei se mpyeneinak nami yahnak hnga vaia, Judahe naw pi Pamhnama mpyeneinak ami yahnak bawk hnga vaia Pamhnama ngthu am ngai u.
32 For God has shut up all into disobedience, in order that he might show mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
Pamhnam naw khyang naküt a jah mpyeneinak thei vaia khyang naküt cun ngthu am ngaihnak üng a jah tak päiha kyaki. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond discovering!
Pamhnama kthemnak ja ksingkhyapnak cun a aktäa ngsawngkang ve. A ngthumkhyahnake cun jah ksing thei vaia am kya lü u naw a tüilame pi ksing khai ni.
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has become his advisor?
Cangcim naw, “U naw Bawipaa mlung cun ksingki ni? U naw Pamhnam mtheimthang khawiki ni.
35 Or who has first given anything to God, that God must repay him?”
A thung be vaia pi u naw i pe khawiki ni?
