< Romans 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God,
Paul, Jesu Khrih a tyihzawih, tyihzawih hamna ak khy, Khawsa Awithang leek kqawn hamna ak khy ing,
2 which he promised beforehand by his prophets in the holy scriptures,
cawhkaw awithang leek taw Cakciim awh amah a tawnghakhqi hawnaak ing ak cyk ca awhkawng a taak hyt awi ceni,
3 concerning his Son who was a descendant of David according to the flesh.
pumsa ben awhtaw David a cadil na ak awm, amah a capa akawng ce,
4 Through the Spirit of holiness he was declared with power to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
thihnaak awhkawng a thawhnaak ak caming, ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih taw Khawsa capa ni tinawh thaawmnaak ing ciimcaihnaak Myihla ing kqawn hy.
5 Through him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations, for the sake of his name.
Anih ak caming ang ming awh, cangnaak ak caming ak awingainaak ak khuiawh thlangkhqi ing a mi kun thainaak aham Gentel thlangkhqi khy aham am qeennaak ing ceityih bibi ve ni hu uhy.
6 Among these nations, you also have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Nangmih awm Jesu Khrih thlang na awm lawt aham ak khy khqi anglakawh paa lawt uhyk ti.
7 This letter is to all who are in Rome, the beloved of God, who are called to be holy people. May grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Khawsa ing lungna nawh thlak ciimcaih na awm hamna ak khy Rom khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi boeih a venawh: Pa Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa Jesu Khrih a venawh kaw ngaihdingnaak ingkaw am qeennaak nangmih Rom khawawh ak awmkhqi boeih a venawh awm seh.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Lamma cyk awh, nangmih ak cangnaak akawng ce khawmdek pum awh amik kqawn dawngawh, nangmih boeih awh ce Jesu Khrih ak caming Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nyng.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, of how continually I make mention of you.
Kak kawlung boeih ing a Capa ak awithang leek khypyi nyng saw a bi ka bi peekkung, Khawsa ing cykcahnaak ka taaknaak a hoei awh nangmih am nim hilh khqi qoe qoe nyng tice sim nyng,
10 I always request in my prayers that by any means I may at last be successful now by the will of God in coming to you.
a hukhit awh nangmih a venna ka lawnaak thai aham Khawsa ing chawh am awng lawnaak aham cykcah nyng.
11 For I desire to see you, that I may give you some spiritual gift, in order to strengthen you.
Myihla kutdo a vang a phal awm ni pek khqi nawh namik tha a awmnaak thai aham nami huh aham ngaih soeih nyng;
12 That is, I long to be mutually encouraged among you, through each other's faith, yours and mine.
pynoet ingkaw pynoet cangnaak benawh thaawmnaak ni taaknaak aham ngaih nyng.
13 Now I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, that I often intended to come to you, (but I was hindered until now), in order to have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.
Gentel thlangkhqi venawh ak thaih kak bih hawh amyihna, nangmih anglakawh awm kak bihnaak thai aham, law aham cai khing hawh hlai nyng (tuhdy anik kangkung awm khak hy) tice, koeinaakhqi, a sim kaana awm ham am ni ngaih khqi nyng.
14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Greek thlangkhqi ingkaw Greek thlangkhqi am a venawh awm, thlakcyikhqi ingkaw thlakqawkhqi venawh awm sai hly kawi ta khak nyng.
15 So, as for me, I am ready to proclaim the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Cedawngawh maw Rom khaw awh amik awm nangmih a venawh awm awithang leek kqawn aham ka ngaih khak lawt mah hy.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and for the Greek.
Awithang leek awh chahnaak am ta nyng, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih hulnaak a hamna Khawsa ak thaawmnaak na a awm dawngawh: lammacyk awh Judakhqi ahamna awm nawh cekcoengawh Gentelkhqi ahamna awm hy.
17 For in it God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, as it has been written, “The righteous will live by faith.”
Awithang leek awh Khawsa venawh kawng ak dyng pynoet ce dang hawh hy, “Thlakdyng taw cangnaak ing hqing kaw,” tinawh qee ce amyihna, ak cyk ca awhkawng a dytnaak dyna cangnaak ing dyngnaak ce awm hawh hy.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who through unrighteousness hold back the truth.
Khawsa amak simkhqi ingkaw khawboe seetnaak ing thlang ak thekhanaak thlakche khqik khanawh khan benna kawng Khawsa ak kawsonaak ce dang noe noe hawh hy,
19 This is because that which is known about God is visible to them. For God has enlightened them.
Khawsa ing ak zoei cana a sai peek khqi dawngawh, a mingmih ing Khawsa a mi sim thainaak aham zoei cahy.
20 For his invisible qualities, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios )
Ikawtih khawmdek a syn cyk ca awhkawng sim thai na amak awm Khawsa a saithainaak, kumqui thaawmnaak ingkaw a Khawsa nihnaak ce, ak ceet cana dang hawh hy, a them saikhqi awh zaaksim thainaak awm hawh nawh, thlanghqing ing oelh thainaak a lam am awm hy. (aïdios )
21 This is because, although they knew about God, they did not glorify him as God, nor did they give him thanks. Instead, they became foolish in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened.
Khawsa ce sim hlai uhy, Khawsa amyihna am kyihcah unawh zeelnaak awi awm ap kqawn uhy, themche poeknaak ing amik kawlung be nawh, amik kawmikna hyp hy.
22 They claimed to be wise, but they became foolish.
Thlakcyi na ngai qu hlai uhy, thlakqaw na awm uhy,
23 They exchanged the glory of the imperishable God for the likenesses of an image of perishable man, of birds, of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things.
amak see thai Khawsa a boeimangnaak ce ak see thai thlanghqing, phakhqi, qamsakhqi ingkaw ak cawlhthaikhqi a myi amyihna sai uhy.
24 Therefore God gave them over to the lusts of their hearts for uncleanness, for their bodies to be dishonored among themselves.
Cedawngawh Khawsa ing a mimah thawlh ngaihnaak amyihna pynoet ingkaw pynoet a pum ce chahqai na a awmnaak aham nu pa thawlh sainaak amak ciimcaih benna pehy.
25 It is they who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and who worshiped and served the creation instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen. (aiōn )
Khawsa awitak ce a hqawng ah qapna coeng sak unawh, ak saikung anglakawh a sai them ce bawk unawh a bi ce bi pe uhy. Ak Saikung taw ang loetna kyihcah tyng ni. Amen. (aiōn )
26 Because of this, God gave them over to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged natural relations for those that were unnatural.
Cedawngawh Khawsa ce chahpyih hamna hyyngaihnaak ing mang taak nawh; nukhqi ingawm ami thangpyi khawsaknaak ce amak leek khawsaknaak benna hawi pyi uhy;
27 Likewise, the men also left their natural relations with women and burned in their lust for one another. These were men who committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the penalty they deserved for their error.
cemyih lawtna pakhqi ingawm nukhqi mi ih a awmnaak ce nawn unawh, pa ingkaw pa zaak amak leekna ip a awm unawh ami thawlh phu zaawk kawi ce amimah ing zaawk uhy.
28 Because they did not approve of having God in their awareness, he gave them up to a depraved mind, for them to do those things that are not proper.
Khawsa simnaak ve ikawna awm ama ming ngai dawngawh, a mimah ak kawlung seetnaak ing sai hly am kawi sainaak benna Khawsa ing a mingmih ce pek khqi hy.
29 They have been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and evil intentions. They are gossips,
Cekkhqi ce thawlhnaak a soep a hoei, khawboe seetnaak, kamvaanaak ingkaw seetnaak ing be unawh; ytnaak, thlang himnaak, hqonaak, thailatnaak, sawhnaak ing be uhy; thlang theetnaak,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventing ways of doing evil; they are disobedient to parents.
kawsonaak, Khawsa sawhnaak, thlang kawna am huhnaak, thinsahnaak ingkaw oek qunaak ing be uhy; themche sainaak, nu pa ak awi am ngainaak;
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, and unmerciful.
kaw amak awmkhqi, cangnaak amak takhqi, lungnaak amak takhqi, qeemmaal amak takhqi na awm uhy.
32 They understand the regulations of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death. But not only do they do these things, they also approve of others who do them.
Cemyih a them che ak saikhqi taw ami thih ham awm hy ti Khawsak awipeek ak awm ce sim hlai uhyk ti, a mimah ing a mi sai doeng am khoek nawh, thlang chang ak saikhqi ce ym pyi uhy.
