Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
Khatben ah manuca rhoek, khangnah ham amih yueng Pathen taengah ka thinko kah kolonah tah rhenbihnah ni.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Pathen kah kohlopnah a khueh uh te amih ham ka phong pah. Tedae mingnah nen moenih.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Pathen kah duengnah vik te a mangvawt uh tih amah kah duengnah thoh ham ni a toem uh. Te dongah Pathen kah duengnah dongah boe a ngai uh moenih.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih te duengnah ham olkhueng kah a bawtnah tah Khrih ni.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
Moses loh olkhueng kah duengnah kawng te a daek coeng. Te tla a saii daengah ni hlang loh te nen te a hing eh.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
Tedae tangnah kah duengnah loh, “Na thinko ah, 'Unim Vaan la aka luei eh? Te tah Khrih aka khuen la om.
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)
Te phoeiah, 'Unim tangrhom dung la aka suntla eh? Te duek lamkah hang khuen ham tila Khrih ni, 'ti boeh,” a ti tangloeng. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
Tedae balae n'ti lah eh? Olka te na taengah, na ka ah, na thinko ah om. Tekah aka om tangnah olka la ka hoe uh te.
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Boeipa Jesuh te na ka neh na phong tih duek lamkah anih aka thoh Pathen te na thinko ah na tangnah atah na daem ni.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
Thinko neh a tangnah te duengnah la, ka neh a phong te khangnah la om.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Te dongah cacim loh, “Amah te aka tangnah boeih tah yahpok mahpawh.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
Judah neh Greek laklo ah hlihloehnah a om moenih. Boeipa amah tah hlang boeih kah ni. Amah aka phoei rhoek boeih taengah a khuehtawn sak.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Te dongah boeipa ming aka khue boeih te tah daem ni.
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
Tedae a tangnah uh mueh la amah te metlam a khue uh eh? A yaak uh mueh la amah te metlam a tangnah uh eh? A hoe mueh la metlam a yaak uh eh?
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
A tueih uh pawt atah metlam a hoe uh eh? A daek vanbangla hnothen te aka phong rhoek kah a kho tah sawtthen tangkik.
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
Tedae olthangthen te hlang boeih loh a ngai uh moenih. Isaiah loh, “Boeipa kaimih kah olthang he u long a tangnah,” a ti.
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Te dongah tangnah tah hnavue lamloh, hnavue tah Khrih kah olka lamloh ha om.
18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
Tedae, “A yaak uh moenih a?” ka ti. Amih kah oldi loh diklai pum la cet tih, amih kah olka loh lunglai a bawtnah due a pha.
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
Tedae, “Israel loh ming pawt nim?” ka ti. Moses loh lamhma la, “Kai tah namtom pawt nen khaw nangmih kan thatlai thil ni. Lungmong namtom rhangneh nangmih kan sai sak ni,” a ti.
20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
Te dongah Isaiah tah a rhalthen tih, “Kai aka toem pawt rhoek loh m'hmuh tih kai aka dawt pawt rhoek taengah aka phoe la ka om,” a ti.
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
Te phoeiah Israel taengah, “Ka kut te hnin at puet pilnam ol aek neh boekoek taengah ka phuel coeng,” a ti nah.
