Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Erah ang abah, Jehudi loong ah Ranglajatte tokkhodi tumjih dak seela? Adoleh khoopkhan banlam hoon thaang ah tumjih dak jeela?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
Om, jaatrep ni dak jeela! Jaakhothoon ah Rangte ih Jehudi loong suh heh jengkhaap ah kap thukta.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Enoothong mararah ih lamok tuungmaang rumka bah mamah ang ah? Erah loong asuh Rangte ah tatam tuungmaang rumka?
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.”
Emah tah angka! Mina loongtang khoonglap ang abah uh, Rangte abah amiisak jaatjaat, Rangteele ni amah liiha, “Sen jeng an doh epunjih ah jaatjaat dongjeng etheng; sen mat ih johan doh sen ih ejen jaatjaat etheng.”
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.
Enoothong seng ethih re ih di uh Rangte ah epun jaatjaat ih boot jatthuk hali bah, seng ih mamet li ih? Heh ih chamnaang nyia tenkhat kohe doh Rangte ah emoong re ela ih emi li nih et ih? (Erah ah jojang ih cheng etjih tiit.)
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Emah babah uh tah angka! Rangte ih epun lamdoh lamok dande ri bah, mongrep ah tang heh ih mamet jen dande ah?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Enoothong lapunkang bah uh Rangte mootkaat ah moh angno heh amiisak tiit ah ehan ih boot jatthuk ang bah, rangdah mina likhiik ngah ah mamah ma ih dut haat hang?
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.
Emah ang abah amah tatam maaliike, “Raahan ethi ah re ih, ese ah toom thok ha suh ah?” Amiimi di mararah mina ih nga ah kaanju hangno emamah mat ih jootcho! Erah loong ah dut haat et ah, tumeah neng ah edut haatjih jaatjaat.
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.
Ese, erah ang abah, Jehudi seng loong ah Ranglajatte nang ih tumjaat di dak se li? Tumjih di uh tadak seeke! Ngah ih ejen noisok ettang, Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loongtang mina eliili rangdah ih panha,
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Rangteele ni liiha: “Wasiit taan o uh kateng tajeeka,
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
wasiit taan uh thungsek amuk adoleh Rangte rangsoomte amuk.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Thoontang Rangte jiin nawa doksoon eta; neng thoontang ethih lam ni kala; o uh tapun reeka, wasiit taan uh tapun reeka.
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
Neng jengkhaap ah mangbeng luung likhiik; neng tuuhih ah eleek tiit baat theng, neng tuikhoop nawa jengkhaap loong ah echo ejih pu jik likhiik;
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
neng tiitwaan adi khadikdik etamjam jengkhaap ih meela.
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Neng loong ah ethet haat nyia etek haat suh sukramram;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
neng maanah khoom ah neng pho adi ethih totoh.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
Neng ih semroongroong lampo ah tajatka,
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
adoleh Rangte raacho ah neng ih tajatka.”
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.
Amadi seng ih jat ih di Hootthe dowa jaatrep ah, o mina erah Hootthe khu adi songtongte loong asuh ba baat ha, eno mina loong ah takah jeng thukka ang ah, nyia mongrep ah Rangte suh dande thuk ah.
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.
Erah thoih o Hootthe jun ih mola loong abah Rangte damdoh tapunka ang ah; Hootthe ih bah seng ah rangdah mina ih dongjat thuk suh ba liiha.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Enoothong amadi Rangte ih mina heh damdoh mame pun songtongjih rah dongjat etthuk hali. Erah raangtaan ih Moses Hootthe nyia Khowah loong ih haaki taat korum abah uh, Hootthe ah tumjih takah etke.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Mina loong ah Jisu Kristo suh laalom rumla jun ih Rangte ih kateng ang thuk rumla. Rangte ih erah Jisu Kristo suh laalomte loong raangtaan ih reeta, tumeah erah di edandeejih jihoh tumjih takah jeeka:
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
mirep ah rangdah ni ang thoidi Rangte ih puipang thengta dowa haloh ih hoon rumla.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Enoothong marah mina suh thaangmuh lakkot minchan korumha loong ah heh damdi neng pongwan angthukte Jisu Kristo jun ih kateng ang thuk rumla.
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;
Rangte ih Jisu Kristo ah loongtang khosa ih kokaat taha, heh sih janhaatta asuh laalom rum ano mina rangdah biin anaan raangtaan ih lampo ih hoon ah. Rangte ih Heh ah kateng ih noisok suh reeta. Teewadi bah mina rangdah ah hiiksok nyi enaan kah etta, amadoh bah ethih ese ah dande et ah, tumeah heh kateng ah noisok ah. Emamah ih Rangte ih heh ah kateng ih jatthuk hali erah raang ih o mina Jisu Kristo suh hanpiite loong ah uh kateng et hoon thukla.
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.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Erah ang abah, seng ngaampojih tumjih jeela? Tumjih uh tajeeka! Erah tumjih thoilam di hoonla? Hootthe lamphan kino tam angla? Tah angka! Seng hanpi jun ih angla.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Hethoondi seng ih jat idi, mina ih hanpi ehi jun ih ba Rangte ih kateng ih hoon thuk hali, Hootthe ih baat hali raangtaan ih tah angka.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Adoleh Rangte ah Jehudi loong Rangte laklak tam ang koka? Heh ah Ranglajatte Rangte tatam ang koka? Neng Rangte elang ju eah.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
Rangte ah esiit, heh ih Jehudi nyi Ranglajatte loongtang neng laalom jun ih ba Rangte ngathong nah kateng ih hoon rum ah.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Emah ang abah laalom thoidoh Hootthe ah chiik haat tam et ih? Emah babah uh tah angka; erah nang ih bah Hootthe ah emaak etheng.
