Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
Keiman thudih kasei hi Christa ahetoh ahi. Ase le apha hetna kaneiyin chule Lhagao Theng aphotchetna ahi.
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Kalungthim hi hatah in lunghemna le lung kicholdo theilou gimnan kadime.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Ajeh chu kamite Judah mite kasopiho dingin, keima Christa'a kona a-itih a gaosap chang kahinom'e; hichun amaho ahuhhing jou ding hileh kati ahi.
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Amaho Israel mite ahiuvin, Pathen cha-lamthu hina changah ahiuvin, Pathen in aloupina amaho heng alhut ahitai. Aman amaho to kitepna aneiya chule a-Danthu apehdoh ahiuve. Aman amaho chu ahoutheina dinguva michonpha a asem ahin, chule athutep kidangtah ahin pehdoh ahiye.
5 Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Amaho hi Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob son le chilhahte ahiuvin, chule Christa amatah chu mihem lamdola sei dingin Israel mi anahi, chule Ama Pathen ahin, thil jouse chunga vaihoma ahin, chule tonsot'a vahchoi ding'a kilom ahi. (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel:
Chuti ahileh aphai, Pathen in Israel techu athutep lamdola abolpeh lougot hitam? Ahipoi, Israel nam sunga peng jouse chu abonuva Pathen mite ahidehpouve.
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Abraham chilhah himan'a Abraham chate tia kisim jenga ahipoi. Ajehchu Pathen thun Isaac a naphunggui kisut ding ahi ati chun, Abraham'in chapa dang anei henasa asei ahi.
8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Hichehi, tahsalam a Abraham'in ahindoh chate jouse chu Pathen chate ahiuve tia seina ding aumpoi. Thutep chate bou chu Abraham chate tia kisima ahije.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
ajehchu Pathen in athutep, “Khovei tuphat tengleh keima kahung kile kit ding Sarah chun chapa khat ahinding ahi,” ati.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Hiche achapa chu ipuluiyu Isaac ahi. Aman Rebekah akichenpi chun mi-ni apengkop'in ahi.
11 ( For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
Hinlah amani ahung penlhah masang lhon'in, thilpha ahilouleh thilse abol masang lhon'in, Pathen'a kon'a thulhut amu ahi (Hiche thulhunga kona chu Pathen in Ama lunggon dungjuiya akouji ahi, tihi ahi.
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Amaho phat le set jeh jong ahidehpoi tihet ahi). Amanu koma, “Nachapa atahpa chu anaopa kinbola hung pang ding ahi,” ati.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Pathen thun, “Keiman Jacob kangailun, hinla Esau chu kapampai ahi,” ati.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.
Chuti ahileh, eihon Pathen chu athilbol adihpoi itiuvem? Ahideh poi!
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
ajehchu Pathen in Mose jah a, “Keiman ka khotona'a kalhendoh penpen chunga kalhut ding, chule kahepina chu kalhendoh pen chunga kalhut ding ahi,” ati.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
Hiti ahijeh chun, Pathen khotona chu Ama kigel lhah thuthu hiya ahi. Eihon ilhen theiju jong hilou, toh'a itohdoh theiju jong ahidehpoi.
17 For the scripture saith to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Ajehchu Pathen lekhabun, anaseisa chu Pathen in Pharaoh jah a, “Keiman kathahatna nachunga katahlang na dinga keiman nangma kalhen nahin chule kaminthanna leiset pumpia kathejal dinga nahi,” tia anasei pehsa ahi.
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Hijeh'a chu, Pathen in ami khotona chu mi abangkhat chunga avetsah a chule aman midang lungsung chu asuhtah a asei angaipeh lou ahi.
19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Chuti ahileh aphai, nangman, “Iti dan'a athu jalou ho chu a oimo hintem? Aman amaho abolsah chan chu abol'u hijeng lou ding ham?” tin nate.
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Ahipoi, hichu seihih in. Nangma mihem maimai'in Pathen nanel ngam ham? Thilsem khat chun asempa jah a chu, “Ipi dinga hitobang bep'a hi neisem ham?” tia asei ngaijem!
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Bel dengpa chun leiset'a kon'a belho asem tengleh ama chun aleiset leingan chu aphabep khat ajem ding'a asem'a chule phabep khat loi chu nen koina a jong asemthei hilou ham?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Hitobangma chun, Pathen in jong alunghanna le athahatna vetsahna dingin thaneina aneiyin, chule alunghanna chuhna ho chunga jong thohhat tah a anga'a amahthahna diu gonsa akoipeh ahitai.
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
Hiche abol hi aloupina ho dung juiya, aloupina tahlangna dinga mi akhotona chu kilangdoh cheh dinga agon ahi.
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Chule eiho Aman alhendoh ho lah'a hi Judah mite leh chidang namdang ho chunga hijongleh eiho jong ijaouve.
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved.
Chidang namdangte chung chang thua Pathen in Hosea Themgao henga gaova aseidohsa, “Kamite hilouho chu keiman kamite tia tuapat kakou ding ahitai, chule keiman kangailut louho chu kangailut ding ahitai.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Chule amaho kamite nahi pouve kitina mun'a chu Pathen Hing chate kiti ding ahiuve.
27 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Chule Israel chung chang thua Themgao Isaiah chun ahinsamdoh in, Israel mite chu twikhanglen panga neldi jat tam'in tam jongleh, amoh them bou sohcha ding ahi,” ati.
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin leiset chunga thutanna gangtah le achaina pena dinga ahinbol ding ahi.
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.
Chule Isaiah chun mundanga hitima chun aseiyin, “Ven sopite Pakai chun ichateu themkhat hi ahoidoh lou hileh eiho hi Sodom banga eikithat chaihel uvintin, Gomorrah banga eisuhmang dingu ahi,” ati.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.
Hicheho jouse hi ipi kiseina hintem? Chidang namdang te Pathen chondan juilou ahivangun, amaho chu Pathen lungtoh dia kisema ahitauve. Chule tahsan hin hiche hi ahin hitheisah ahi.
31 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Hinlah Israel mite Pathen to kilunghet themna dinga kihabol ho jeng jong Danthu ajui jeng vangun alolhing joupouve.
32 Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Ipijeh a lolhinglou hiuvem? Ajeh chu amahon Pathen to kilunghet themna dinga Ama tahsan sangin Danthu ajuiyuve. Ama ho alamlhahnauva songpia kipal ahitauve.
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Pathen lekhabun amaho gihsalna ananei'in, ajah uva, “Keiman Jerusalema songpi khat kakoiyin, hichun miho akipalsah'e, amaho lhuh kamna songpi khat ahi. Hinla koihileh Ama tahsan chan chu jachatna a chulou ding ahi,” ati.
