Roomte 9
1 Ngah ih ami tiit baat hang; ngah Kristo mina eno ngah ih eleek tiit tabaat kang. Ngaathung ngaatak ah, Esa Chiiala ih maak halang, erah damdi ngah suh eleek tiit tabaat thuk rang
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 nga chamnaang tumthan ehan ah ih taatli ang bah uh, adoleh ngah ten sat ah lathoon thang taat ang abah uh,
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
3 nga mina ngaasi ngaahan loong raangtaan ih ah! Neng tungthoih nga ih Rangte tenkhat nep chote ih thuntang nyia Kristo jiin nawa haloh nah angte nep ih thuntang.
For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Neng loong ah Rangte mina; heh ih neng hesuh hesah ih thiik rumha eno heh rangkaajih ah dongjat thuk rumha, heh ih neng damdi jengdang ah hoon ano Hootthe ah thiin korumta; neng ih amiimi ih Rangte ah soom rum ano Rangte jeng kakham ah choh rumta;
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
5 neng ah Hebruute awah sutoom satoom ang rumta; eno Kristo uh mina jun ih neng jaat ju angta. Erah loong panchante wah seng Rangte ajuuba roitang phoongpha theng ju angka! Amen. (aiōn g165)
whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Nga ih Rangte jeng kakham tapunka ih taliikang, tumeah Ijirel nawa mina loongtang ah Rangte mih tah angka.
But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:
7 Adoleh Abraham sutoom satoom loongtang ah Rangte sutoom satoom tah ang rumka. Rangte ih Abraham suh amet baatta, “An damdi khakham hala langla, Isak puh asak nawa ih ba an sutoom satoom ah tup uh.”
neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 Erah langla marah noodek jojang ih tup ha loong abah Rangte sah tami angka; erah nang ih noodek marah Rangte jeng kakham jun ih tup ha loong abah amiimi Abraham sutoom satoom ang ah.
That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
9 Tumeah Rangte jeng kakham ah arah jengkhaap jun ih angta: “Anoong arah tokdoh ngah ngaak ra ehang, eno Saara ih miwasah dong tup ah.”
For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 Enoothong erah luulu tah angka. Tumeah Rebika sah khaangpeh wanyi ah seng loong te awah Isak wasiit sah angta.
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac—
11 Heh sah wanyi dowa wasiit abah Rangte mootkaat raang ih jaat danje arah, Rebika suh Rangte ih amet baatta, “Phokhoh rah noolih jeng chaatte ang ah.” Rangte ih erah nyi maangtupka di nyi ethih ese maang danjat nyuuka jaakhoh ih dook banbaatta; erah thoih Rangte ih neng mootkaat pakna ah sok ano tadan poonka erah nang ih heh thunghaanla jun danpoon ha.
for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,
it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Rangteele ni liiha likhiik, “Jaakob ah nook ehang, Esau ah echiik ehang.”
Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 Erah ang abah, seng ih Rangte ah asuh tapunka ih emi li tam et ih? Seng ih tami liike.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 Tumeah Rangte ih Moses suh uh amet baatta, “Ngah ih nga thung o suh pun ah erah mih ah minchan ang nyia nga thung o suh haan ang erah tenthet et ang.”
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
16 Erah thoih jaatrep ah seng reeraang nyia ejam et hi jun ih tami angka, erah nang ih Rangte minchan tenthet luulu nawa ih ba jen ang ah.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
17 Ijip luungwang raang ih Rangteele ni amet liiha, “An luungwang ih hoon thuk taha ah langla, nga chaan nga phaan ah an sak nawa ih arah mongrep mina loong suh noisok raangtaan ih.”
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
18 Eno laalek Rangte ih heh thungthung jun ih mararah ah minchan eha nyia mararah asuh jong ajaan tenthun likhiik ang thuk ah.
So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Enoothong sengdung nawa wasiit than ih ngah suh liite, emah ang abah Rangte ih o ang abah uh ethetreete ah mamet mi jatjoh ah? Rangte thung atak ah o ih jen daan ah?”
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
20 Enoothong joon awaan loong, Rangte damdoh jen daakwaan theethe sen o ah? Paaktek ih heh hoon teewah mina asuh miicheng nih et ah, “An ih nga arah likhiik mamet hoon tahang?”
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
21 Erah nang ih bah tek hoonte warah ih heh mame thunghaan ah erah jun ih ba maak ah, erarah paakkon dowa reh tek enyi ah hoon ano, esiit ah hoondak rangwuung doh jen maak ah, eno esiit ah jojang rangteng doh jen maak ah.
Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 Eno amiisak di erah likhiik Rangte ih hoonha. Heh ih heh tenkhat nyia hechaan hephaan ah dongjat thuk suh ah. Enoothong o suh heh tenkhat jih taat angta nyia thet haatjih taat angta bah uh rapne ih naanta.
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
23 Erah dam ih uh, heh ih minchan hali seng loong asuh hechaan hephaan ah noisok thuk suh liiha, seng loong ah hechaan hephaan chosuh maang ih dook ban khookham he rah angti.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
24 Tumeah seng loong ah heh ih poonhe rah noksong, enoothong seng loong ah Jehudi dung nawa luulu lah angthang ih Ranglajatte dung nawa nep.
[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Hosia leedap ni heh ih aradi amet liiha: “Marah mina loong nga mih tah angta Erah loong ah ‘Nga mina ih poon ang.’ Marah deek akaan nga ih tah minchan tang Erah loong ah ‘Nga mongnook’ ih poon ang.
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
26 Marah dowa ih ngah ih neng suh ‘Nga mina tah ang kan’ ih baat rumtang, erah dowa ih neng ah ething Rangte suh asah et poon rum ang.”
And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
27 Erah dam ih Isaia ih Ijirel hadaang tiit baatta: Ijirel mina loong ah juungsih dowa phisaang thanthan taat ang ang abah uh neng dung dowa eneeko mina ah ba pi ah;
And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28 tumeah Teesu ih mongrep nawa heh mootkaat ah echaan ih phansiit raaha.”
for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
29 Jaakhoh ni Isaia ih banbaatta likhiik, “Teesu Elongthoon ih mararah heh sutoom satoom loong dowa lamok thingtong thukta bah, seng uh Sodom nyi Gomora likhiik ih ang thengti.”
And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
30 Erah thoih seng ih liihi Ranglajatte loong ah ih Rangte damdi kateng angsuh tathun rumta, neng loong ah neng tuungmaang jun ih kateng ih hoon thuk rumta adi;
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
31 Rangte mina o ih Rangte damdoh kateng angsuh hootthe jam rumta loong ah ih tachoh jam rumta.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
32 Mamah lachoh eta? Tumeah neng ih neng tuungmaang asuh lalaalom thang ih, neng mootkaat asuh laalom rumta. Erah thoidi neng lam ngah nawa “ebanbot theng jong” adi banbot rumta.
Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 Erah tiit ah Rangteele ni baatcho: “Sok an ngah ih Jaion hadaang ni jong thiin hang erah doh mina loong ah banbot rum ah, erah jong adoh banbot leh datti ih rum ah. Enoothong o mina heh suh hanpiiha loong abah tathungjoongka.
even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
