Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Tabang ahile Judah mite in bang tungtuanna nei ziam? a hibale vunteap tan sia bang phatuam ziam?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
Phattuamna tam mama om a: a thupibel sia, Pathian kammal te amate tung ah a ap hang a hihi.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Banghangziam cile mi pawlkhat te in a um bua ahile bang a suak tu uh ziam? amate up ngawl na in Pathian upna a phiat thei tu ziam?
4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
Phiat thei thathong ngawl hi: Pathian sia thuman tahen, ahihang mihing khatsim sia leilot thu son a hihi; nangma sia na kampau na ah thutang suana na nga thei natu in le thukhenna na thuak ciang in na zaw thei natu hi, ci in ki atkhol hi.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
Ahihang eite thutan ngawl na in Pathian i thutanna kilangsak ahile, bang i ci thei tu ziam? Pathian i phulam na hang in Ama sia thutang ngawl ziam? Hisia sia mihing bang in ka pau a hihi.
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Hi phaphot ngawl hi: tabang hile Pathian in leitung sia bangbang in thukhen tu ziam?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Banghangziam cile keima i leilot na tungtawn in Pathian i thumanna sia Ama minthanna tu in khang ahile; banghang in keima sia mawnei ka hi na bang in thukhennna thuak khi ziam?
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
Taciang, a pha a suak tu in a pha ngawl vawt tawng, banghang ci zaw ngawl hi ziam? tabang in ngual in mawsiat in hong son a, pawlkhat te in ci takpi uh hi, hong ci hi, amate i mawsakna a man a hihi.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
Tabang ahile bang i ci tu ziam? amate sang in eite phazaw hi ziam? Hi ngawl hi, bangbang po ahizong ki phazaw tuan ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Judah mite le Gentile mite theampo mawna nuai ah om uh hi, ci tetti i mu zo hi;
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Mi pha om ngawl hi, khat zong om ngawl hi:
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
A telthiang kuama om ngawl hi, Pathian a zong kuama om ngawl hi.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Amate a vekpi in lampial siat zo uh a, bangma phattuamna om ngawl suak siat zo hi, napha a vawt kuama om ngawl hi, khat zong om ngawl hi.
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
Amate longtawl sia than ki hong bang hi; amate leii te sia ngual theam na in zang uh hi; amate muk ah ngul ngu om hi:
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
Amate kam sia hamsiatna le kammal kha taw kidim hi:
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Amate i peang te sia thisan sua tu in zuanngang mama hi:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
Amate i lampi ah siatsuana le haksatna te om hi:
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
Taciang amate in thinnopna lampi a he ngei bua uh hi:
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Amate i mit ah Pathian zatakna om ngawl hi, ci in ki at khol hi.
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Tu in thukham i a son theampo sia thukham nuai ah a omte tung ah son hi, ci i he hi: tabang in kam theampo sia ki hup tu a, leitung mi theampo Pathian mai ah maw nei suak tu hi.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Tua ahikom Pathian mai ah thukham zuina hang in kuama in mipha suak zo ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile thukham sia mawna heakna a hihi.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Ahihang thukham ki hel ngawl in Pathian i phatna sia tu in hong kilang zo hi, tasia sia thukham le kamsang te in tettipang uh hi;
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Jesus Christ upna tungtawn in Pathian i phatna sia a um theampo te tung le a umte theampo tung ah om hi: banghangziam cile bangma ki lamdanna om ngawl hi:
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Banghangziam cile mi theampo mawsiat zo a, Pathian i vangletna sang ban nawn ngawl hi;
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Christ Jesus sung ah tatna tungtawn in Pathian hesuakna hang in thutangsuana a thong in i sang hi:
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
Pathian in Christ Jesus sia thisan upna tungtawn in a thin-ukna a dapsak tu in a koi hi a, Ama thutang suana tangko natu a hihi, banghangziam cile Pathian i thuakzawkna tungtawn in a bosa hun mawna te pan in suatak natu a hihi;
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
Jesus a um te le a thutansak te thutang a sua thei natu in Ama i thutang suana sia tu in tangko tu hi, ci in kong son hi.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Tabang ahile, ki suantak natu koisung om ziam? ki suantakna ki vawk zo hi. Bang thukham in vawk ziam? sepna te a hi ziam? Hi ngawl hi: ahihang upna thukham in vawk hi.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Tua ahikom mihing khat sia thukham in sepna ki hel ngawl, upna tungtawn in thutang suana nga hi, ci in i thu i khup hi.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Ama sia Judah te Pathian bek a hi ziam? Gentile te Pathian zong hi ngawl ziam? Hi hi, Gentile te Pathian zong hi veve hi:
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Vunteap tanna le tan ngawl nate sia upna tungtawn in thutang suana hong ngasak tu Pathian khat bek om hi.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Tabang ahile upna tungtawn in thukham vawk i hi ziam? i vawk bua hi: thukham a khosak zaw i hihi.
