< Rom 11 >
1 Hanchu, Pathien'n a mingei a hengpai mini? Nitet mak, keima reng khom hih Israel mi, Abraham richi Benjamin rûia mi ki ni.
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Pathien'n aphuta a thang, a mingei hah paiphar mak. Pathien lekhabu'n Elijah roi a misîr hah imo a ti nin riet. Ama han Israelngei chungroi Pathien kôm a mintunga.
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 “Pumapa ne dêipungei an thata, na mâichâmngei an misima; Keima vai kêng ko om zoi. Keima khom hi mi that rang an bôk,” tiin.
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 Hannirese, Pathien'n, “Baal makunga khûk lân bil ngâiloi mi isâng sari ka ta rangin ka la dar tit ani,” tiin a thuona.
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal.
5 Ma angdênin atûn hin khom Pathien'n a moroina sika a thangsuok ngei pâl atômte an la om.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 A moroina sika a thangsuok anni an sintho sika nimak, ma anghan aninônchu moroina hih moroina tatak ni thei no nih.
And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 Imo ei ti rang? Israelngeiin an rok hah man mak ngeia, Pathien thang atômte ngei vaiin an mana, midang ngei murdi chu Pathien koina han an sêt suo zoi.
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
8 Pathien lekhabu'n, “Pathien'n avien sûn tena an mindonna le an mulungngei a min môl pea, an mua an riet thei loina,” a ti anghan.
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; ) unto this day.
9 David khomin, “An ruolhoi thona bukhalâi hah châng le in ôkna chang senla, An inbana le an khitrûi chang rese.
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 An mu theiloina rangin an mit hong jîng senla, an intakna puokrikin del ngei tit rese,” a tia.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 Hanchu an inba sikin an inluoi phar rang mini? Ni mak! an inpal sikin Jentailngei kôma sanminringna a juong tung ani. Judangei narsana rang ani.
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Ha anghan, Judangei an inpalna man rammuol neina ania, Judangei ratha tienga an insamna man hah Jentailngei neina a ninte, Judangei an hong kip tena vâng chu idôra satvurna mo a ni rang ani zoi.
Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 Ha anghan, nangni Jentailngei kôm ki ti ani, Jentail tîrton ki ni anghan ki sinthona hih ki minlût ani.
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 Ki mingei nangni ki min narsa senkhat luo ka sanminring thei ngêt na rangin.
If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 An hengpai lâihan rammuol ta ranga Pathien leh inngêi nôkna aninte, an pom nôkna tena inmo ani rang? Maha thina renga ringna nîng atih.
For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
16 Vâipôl hâr ât masatak han Pathien kôm pêk minthieng anînchu apumin pêk minthieng ani. Hanchu thing khom a ruzung ânthienga anînchu amachangngei khom an inthieng ani.
For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
17 Olive thing machang senkhat tanpaiin, nangni ram olive, an lâia zomin nin oma, ruzung asa hah nin inzompui zoi ani. Nangni Jentailngei hah ram olive angin nin nia, male atûn chu Judangei ratha râtna tienga ringna hah nin insempui ani.
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 A machang dangngei chunga insong no roi, insong khom ungla, aruzung vâipu nimak chei, aruzung in kêng nangni avâi ani.
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Hanchu, nangman, “Zoma ko om theina ranga amachangngei hah thâk kêng an ni,” tîng ni tih.
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Ani, an iem loina sikin thâkin an oma, nang chu na taksônna sikin zom ni ni, inpâk nônla, manêkin chi roh.
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 Pathien'n amachang taktak angati Judangei luo a manar nônchu nang khom nang manar uol no nih.
For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
22 Masikin, Pathien sa tie le chi aomtie ei mua, ânpal ngei ta rangin chu chi a oma, a satna no omtitin chu nangma ta rangin chu asa ani. No omtit nônchu nang khom thâkpai sa nîng ni tih.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 Male, Judangei khom an iemloina an maka anînchu zomin la om nôk an tih, Pathien'n a zom nôk thei sikin.
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 Nangni Jentailngei, ram olive machang renga thâkpai luon olive thing bâk sa taka inzomin nin om inte, nangni Judangei, olive thingkung diktak amachangngei a zom chu Pathien rangin abai pe uol ok rang ani.
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?
25 Ka malngei hi chong inthup hih nin riet rangin ku nuom ani, aninônchu avâr intum nin tih. Isreal mingei tukdullienna hah a omjêt rang nimak. Aniatachu Jentailngei hah Pathien kôma an hong kipphar tena rang vai ani.
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 Hanchu, Israelngei murdi sanminringin om an tih. Pathien lekhabu'n, “Zion renga Minringpu hah juong a ta, Jacob jâisuonngei renga puoloinangei minboi atih.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 Mahih an kôma ko chongkhit rang chu ani, An nunsienangei ka lâk pai tika chu,” ati anghan.
For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 Thurchi Sa an hengpaia, nangni sikin Judangei chu Pathien râl an ni. Pathien'n a thang ngei na mindonin chu an richibulngei sikin a champui lungkhamna ngei an ni.
As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
29 Pathien'n mi a thangna le sat a vurna lama a mulungrîl thûl ngâi mak.
For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
30 Tienlâi han chu nangni Jentailngei chu Pathien chongjôm mak cheia, atûn chu Judangei an jômloina sikin a moroina nin chang zoi ani.
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Ma ang nanâk han, atûn nang nin moroina nin chang sikin Judangei khomin Pathien moroina an chang sa theina rangin atûn hin chu chongjômloia om an ni.
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 Asikchu anrênga chunga a inriengmuna a minlang nuom sikin Pathien'n mi murdi chongjômloina a khum zit ani. (eleēsē )
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē )
33 Pathien neina ngei chu idôra roiinpui mo! a vârna le a rietna khom idôra ânthûk mo! tûn mo a roijêk a rilminthâr thei ranga? tun mo a lampui a riet thei ranga?
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 Pathien lekhabu'n: “Tun mo Pumapa mulungrîl rieta? Tu mo rilna a pêk thei ranga?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Tumo a kôma lâkâi amin tanga, tumo a kôm renga a man nôk rêk ngai?” ati anghan.
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 Asikchu neinun murdi hih ama sin ania, ama sika hong om le ama ta riempet ani. Pathien kôma tuonsôtin inlalna chu om rese! Amen. (aiōn )
For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
