Roomte 9
1 Ngah ih ami tiit baat hang; ngah Kristo mina eno ngah ih eleek tiit tabaat kang. Ngaathung ngaatak ah, Esa Chiiala ih maak halang, erah damdi ngah suh eleek tiit tabaat thuk rang
I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 nga chamnaang tumthan ehan ah ih taatli ang bah uh, adoleh ngah ten sat ah lathoon thang taat ang abah uh,
that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.
3 nga mina ngaasi ngaahan loong raangtaan ih ah! Neng tungthoih nga ih Rangte tenkhat nep chote ih thuntang nyia Kristo jiin nawa haloh nah angte nep ih thuntang.
For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:
4 Neng loong ah Rangte mina; heh ih neng hesuh hesah ih thiik rumha eno heh rangkaajih ah dongjat thuk rumha, heh ih neng damdi jengdang ah hoon ano Hootthe ah thiin korumta; neng ih amiimi ih Rangte ah soom rum ano Rangte jeng kakham ah choh rumta;
who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises:
5 neng ah Hebruute awah sutoom satoom ang rumta; eno Kristo uh mina jun ih neng jaat ju angta. Erah loong panchante wah seng Rangte ajuuba roitang phoongpha theng ju angka! Amen. (aiōn g165)
of whom are the fathers, and of whom is Christ according to the flesh. Who is over all, God blessed forever: amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Nga ih Rangte jeng kakham tapunka ih taliikang, tumeah Ijirel nawa mina loongtang ah Rangte mih tah angka.
But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;
7 Adoleh Abraham sutoom satoom loongtang ah Rangte sutoom satoom tah ang rumka. Rangte ih Abraham suh amet baatta, “An damdi khakham hala langla, Isak puh asak nawa ih ba an sutoom satoom ah tup uh.”
neither are the children all the seed of Abraham; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called;
8 Erah langla marah noodek jojang ih tup ha loong abah Rangte sah tami angka; erah nang ih noodek marah Rangte jeng kakham jun ih tup ha loong abah amiimi Abraham sutoom satoom ang ah.
that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 Tumeah Rangte jeng kakham ah arah jengkhaap jun ih angta: “Anoong arah tokdoh ngah ngaak ra ehang, eno Saara ih miwasah dong tup ah.”
For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
10 Enoothong erah luulu tah angka. Tumeah Rebika sah khaangpeh wanyi ah seng loong te awah Isak wasiit sah angta.
Not only so; but Rebecca also having cohabitation of one, our father Isaac;
11 Heh sah wanyi dowa wasiit abah Rangte mootkaat raang ih jaat danje arah, Rebika suh Rangte ih amet baatta, “Phokhoh rah noolih jeng chaatte ang ah.” Rangte ih erah nyi maangtupka di nyi ethih ese maang danjat nyuuka jaakhoh ih dook banbaatta; erah thoih Rangte ih neng mootkaat pakna ah sok ano tadan poonka erah nang ih heh thunghaanla jun danpoon ha.
for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,
and it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger:
13 Rangteele ni liiha likhiik, “Jaakob ah nook ehang, Esau ah echiik ehang.”
as has been written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 Erah ang abah, seng ih Rangte ah asuh tapunka ih emi li tam et ih? Seng ih tami liike.
Then what shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be so.
15 Tumeah Rangte ih Moses suh uh amet baatta, “Ngah ih nga thung o suh pun ah erah mih ah minchan ang nyia nga thung o suh haan ang erah tenthet et ang.”
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate.
16 Erah thoih jaatrep ah seng reeraang nyia ejam et hi jun ih tami angka, erah nang ih Rangte minchan tenthet luulu nawa ih ba jen ang ah.
Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.
17 Ijip luungwang raang ih Rangteele ni amet liiha, “An luungwang ih hoon thuk taha ah langla, nga chaan nga phaan ah an sak nawa ih arah mongrep mina loong suh noisok raangtaan ih.”
For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Eno laalek Rangte ih heh thungthung jun ih mararah ah minchan eha nyia mararah asuh jong ajaan tenthun likhiik ang thuk ah.
Then therefore he has mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.
19 Enoothong sengdung nawa wasiit than ih ngah suh liite, emah ang abah Rangte ih o ang abah uh ethetreete ah mamet mi jatjoh ah? Rangte thung atak ah o ih jen daan ah?”
Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
20 Enoothong joon awaan loong, Rangte damdoh jen daakwaan theethe sen o ah? Paaktek ih heh hoon teewah mina asuh miicheng nih et ah, “An ih nga arah likhiik mamet hoon tahang?”
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?
21 Erah nang ih bah tek hoonte warah ih heh mame thunghaan ah erah jun ih ba maak ah, erarah paakkon dowa reh tek enyi ah hoon ano, esiit ah hoondak rangwuung doh jen maak ah, eno esiit ah jojang rangteng doh jen maak ah.
Has not the potter the right of the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 Eno amiisak di erah likhiik Rangte ih hoonha. Heh ih heh tenkhat nyia hechaan hephaan ah dongjat thuk suh ah. Enoothong o suh heh tenkhat jih taat angta nyia thet haatjih taat angta bah uh rapne ih naanta.
But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction:
23 Erah dam ih uh, heh ih minchan hali seng loong asuh hechaan hephaan ah noisok thuk suh liiha, seng loong ah hechaan hephaan chosuh maang ih dook ban khookham he rah angti.
and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory?
24 Tumeah seng loong ah heh ih poonhe rah noksong, enoothong seng loong ah Jehudi dung nawa luulu lah angthang ih Ranglajatte dung nawa nep.
whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles:
25 Hosia leedap ni heh ih aradi amet liiha: “Marah mina loong nga mih tah angta Erah loong ah ‘Nga mina ih poon ang.’ Marah deek akaan nga ih tah minchan tang Erah loong ah ‘Nga mongnook’ ih poon ang.
as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved:
26 Marah dowa ih ngah ih neng suh ‘Nga mina tah ang kan’ ih baat rumtang, erah dowa ih neng ah ething Rangte suh asah et poon rum ang.”
and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:
27 Erah dam ih Isaia ih Ijirel hadaang tiit baatta: Ijirel mina loong ah juungsih dowa phisaang thanthan taat ang ang abah uh neng dung dowa eneeko mina ah ba pi ah;
but Isaiah cries out in behalf of Israel, Though the number of sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
28 tumeah Teesu ih mongrep nawa heh mootkaat ah echaan ih phansiit raaha.”
For perfecting the word and cutting it short, will the Lord do a complete work on the earth:
29 Jaakhoh ni Isaia ih banbaatta likhiik, “Teesu Elongthoon ih mararah heh sutoom satoom loong dowa lamok thingtong thukta bah, seng uh Sodom nyi Gomora likhiik ih ang thengti.”
and as Isaiah has before spoken; Unless the Lord of Sabaoth left to us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like unto Gomorrah:
30 Erah thoih seng ih liihi Ranglajatte loong ah ih Rangte damdi kateng angsuh tathun rumta, neng loong ah neng tuungmaang jun ih kateng ih hoon thuk rumta adi;
Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:
31 Rangte mina o ih Rangte damdoh kateng angsuh hootthe jam rumta loong ah ih tachoh jam rumta.
but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.
32 Mamah lachoh eta? Tumeah neng ih neng tuungmaang asuh lalaalom thang ih, neng mootkaat asuh laalom rumta. Erah thoidi neng lam ngah nawa “ebanbot theng jong” adi banbot rumta.
Why? Because they sought it not from faith, but as it were from works: they stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
33 Erah tiit ah Rangteele ni baatcho: “Sok an ngah ih Jaion hadaang ni jong thiin hang erah doh mina loong ah banbot rum ah, erah jong adoh banbot leh datti ih rum ah. Enoothong o mina heh suh hanpiiha loong abah tathungjoongka.
as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
