Romans 9
1 Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
2 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart —
Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
3 for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ — for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
Te dongah pumsa ah ka huiko ka manuca rhoek yueng la kamah rhoe Khrih lamloh ka paek uh vetih kosi yook ham ka thangthui.
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
Amih tah Israel rhoek ni, cacah neh thangpomnah khaw, paipi rhoek neh olrhinah khaw, thothuengnah khaw, olkhueh khaw amih kah ni.
5 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A napa rhoek neh amih lamkah ni Khrih te pumsa ah ha thoeng. A cungkuem soah aka om Pathen tah kumhal ah uemom pai saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;
Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but — 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
Abraham kah tiingan la a om uh dongah a ca boeih pawt dae Isaak ah na tiingan la a khue ni a ti ta.
8 that is, the children of the flesh — these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Te tah pumsa kah camoe la aka om pawt rhoek tah Pathen kah a ca rhoek la om. Tedae olkhueh kah ca rhoek tah a tiingan la a nawt.
9 for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
10 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one — Isaac our father —
Te bueng pawt tih Ribekka khaw a pa Isaak bueng nen ni a ihnah a om.
11 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling, ) it was said to her —
A cun hlan tih thae then pakhat khaw a saii uh moenih. Te daengah ni a coelh bangla Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a naeh eh.
12 'The greater shall serve the less;'
Khoboe dongah pawt tih a khue rhangnen ni anih te, “Tanglue loh mathoe kah sal a bi ni,” a ti nah.
13 according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
14 What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!
Te koinih balae n'ti eh? Pathen he boethae pawt nim? Tlamte a om moenih.
15 for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
Moses te, “Ka rhen tangtae te tah ka rhen bal vetih ka sitloh tangtae te tah sitloh bal ni,” a ti nah.
16 so, then — not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
Te dongah aka ngaih kah pawt tih aka yong kah tangloeng moenih. Tedae Pathen kah a rhen rhoek kah ni.
17 for the Writing saith to Pharaoh — 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
Cacim loh Pharaoh te, “Nang te amah la kan pacuet. Te daengah ni ka thaomnah te nang ah ka phoe eh. Te daengah ni diklai pum ah ka ming a doek eh?,” a ti nah.
18 so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
19 Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
20 nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?
Aw u hlang nang dae nim Pathen te oelh la naka om, a saii hno loh aka hlom aka bol kung te, “Balae tih kai nan saii van?” na ti nah pawt nim?
21 hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
Ambop loh amlai te a hlom boeiloeih dae he tah tuisi am la, ke tah am mailai la saithainah a khueh moenih a?
22 And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
Tedae Pathen loh a kosi sah ham neh a tatthai te phoe sak ham a ngaih. pocinah ham a hmoel kosi am te thinsennah neh muep ueh koinih ta?
23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call — us —
Te daengah ni amah kah thangpomnah cungkuem te rhennah am dongah a phoe sak tangloeng eh. Te ni thangpomnah la a hmoel.
24 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
25 as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people — My people; and her not beloved — Beloved,
Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
26 and it shall be — in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
Te vaengah amih te, 'Nangmih he ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah aka hing Pathen kah a ca rhoek la khue la om ni,” a ti van bangla,
27 And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
Isaiah long tah Israel ham, “Israel ca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om cakhaw a meet ni a daem eh.
28 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
29 and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
Te dongah Isaiah loh a thui vanbangla caempuei Boeipa loh mamih kah tiingan he hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla n'om uh vetih Gomorrah neh n'thuidoek uh ni.
30 What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
Te phoeiah balae n'thui eh? Duengnah aka hnuktlak pawh namtom rhoek loh duengnah a rhawt. Tedae duengnah tangnah nen ni a dang.
31 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
32 wherefore? because — not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
33 according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
A daek vanbangla Zion ah caehkoek lungto neh thangkui lungpang ka khueh ke. Tedae amah te aka tangnah tah yahpok mahpawh.
