Rom 10

1 Koeinaakhqi, kak kawlung ngaihnaak ing Israel thlangkhqi ham kak cykcahnaak taw a mingmih hul na ami awm thainaak aham ni.

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

2 Khawsa benawh kawlung pe uhy tice sim nyng, cehlai ami peeknaak ce cyihnaak awh am hang uhy.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

3 Khawsa ven awhkawng ak law dyngnaak ce a sim kaana a mimah a dyngnaak doeng ce sai aham cai uhy, Khawsa dyngnaak awh am pe qu uhy.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

4 Khrih taw anaa awi a dytnaak na awm nawh ak cangnaak thlang boeih aham dyngnaak ce awm hy.

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 Anaa awi ak caming dyngnaak ce Mosi ing: Ve a ik-oeihkhqi ak sai thlang taw vekkhqi ak caming hqing kaw,” tinawh a na qee hy.

For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

6 Cehlai cangnaak ak caming dyngnaak ingtaw vemyihna kqawn hy: “Nak kawk khuiawh, ‘U nu khawk khan na a kaai hly?’ Cetaw Khrih ak kqum law tinaak ni.

But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )

7 Am awhtaw, ‘U nu ceeikhuina ak kqum hly? Cetaw thihnaak awhkawng Khrih a thawh law hly tinaak ni) koeh ti uh,’ tihy. (Abyssos g12)

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)

8 Cawhtaw ikawmyihna a ti? “Awi taw na venawh awm hy; nam kha ingkaw nak kawlung khuiawh awm hy,” ti nawh kqawn hy; cetaw cangnaak awi ningnih ing nik khypyi ve ni:

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

9 “Jesu taw Boei ni, tinawh nam kha ing dyih pyi nawh, thihnaak awhkawng anih ce Khawsa ing thawh tlaih hy, tinawh nak kawlung ing nak cangnaak awhtaw hul na awm kawp ti,” ti ve.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

10 Ikawtih kawlung ing nak cangnaak dawngawh a ni dyng sak na awm nawh, nam kha ing na pho a dawngawh a ni hul na awm hy.

for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 U awm anih ce ak ypnaak thlang taw ityk awh awm chahqai na am awm kaw,” tinawh Cakciim ing kqawn hy.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

12 Juda ingkaw Gentel haanaak am awm voel hy – cawhkaw Bawipa ce thlang boeih a Bawipa na awm nawh amah ak khykhqi boeih a venawh zoseennaak khawzah pehy –

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

13 kawtih, U awm Bawipa ang ming ak khykhqi boeih taw hulnaak hu kaw”

for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 Cawhtaw, amak cangnaak ing ikawmyihna ak khynaak thai kaw? Ikawmyihna a mang zaak awhtaw anih ce ak cangnaak kaw? A mingmih a venawh u ing amak kqawn peek awhtaw ikawmyihna ang zaak naak kaw?

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 Thlang amni tyih awhtaw ikawmyihna khypyi na a awm thai kaw? “Awithang leek ak haw lawkung khqi a khaw taw leek soeih soeih mah hy!” tinawh qee hyt na awm hawh hy.

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

16 Cehlai Israelkhqi boeih ing awithang leek ce am do uhy. Isaiah ing, “Bawipa, kaimih ak awih kqawn ve u ing nu ak cangnaak?” a na ti amyihna.

But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 Cangnaak taw awi zaaknaak awhkawng ni a law, awi taw Khrih ak awi zaaknaak awhkawng awm hy.

So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 Cehlai doet lah vang: Am za unawh nu? Za uhy: A mingmih ak awi ce khawmdek penglum pha nawh, ak awikhqi ce khawmdek a dytnaak dy pha hy.”

But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

19 Doet tlaih lah vang nyng: Israelkhqi ing am zasim unawh nu? Lamma cyk awh Mosi ing, “Qam na amak dyi thlangkhqi ce ni yt sak kawng nyng saw; zaksimnaak amak ta qam ingqawi nak kaw ni so sak kawng,” a na tihy.

But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.

20 Isaiah ing qaal leeknaak ing, Kai a manik sui thlangkhqi ing ni hu unawh; kai a manik sui thlangkhqi venawh dang pe nyng,” tinawh anak kqawn hy.

And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.

21 Cehlai Israelkhqi awh ce, awi amak ngai thlangkhqi ingkaw kai anik oelhkhqi aham khawnghi zuung ka baan phyl nyng,” tinawh kqawn bai hy.

But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
