Rom 1
1 Pawl, Jesu Kri ih tamna, Sithaw tamthanglok hoih pongah, pahoe ih kami ah kaom, patoeh ih kami ah kawk ih kami mah,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—
2 (to tamthanglok hoih loe kaciim Cabunawk thungah angmah ih tahmaanawk rang hoiah anih mah tangsuek na hoi lokkamhaih to sak boeh, )
Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
3 taksa ah David ih atii ah kaom, a Capa aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih tamthang to;
Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
4 Muithla ciimcaihaih baktiah, duekhaih thung hoi angthawk moe, thacakhaih hoiah Sithaw Capa ni, tiah taphong:
Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead, —Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 Anih ih ahmin pongah, prae kaminawk boih mah lok to tahngaih o moe, tanghaih tawnh o thai hanah, anih rang hoiah ni tahmenhaih hoi patoeh ih kaminawk mah sak ih tok to a hnuk o:
Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
6 nangcae doeh Jesu Kri mah kawk ih kami ah nathum o toeng boeh:
Among whom are, ye also, called of Jesus Christ:
7 Sithaw mah palung moe, kaciim kami ah oh han kawk ih, Rom vangpui ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, Aicae Ampa Sithaw hoi Angraeng Jesu Kri khae ih monghaih hoi tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.
Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Hmaloe koekah, na tang o haih to long pum ah thuih o boeh pongah, Jesu Kri rang hoiah nangcae boih han, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lok ka thuih.
First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.
9 Boeng ai ah nangcae han lawk ka thuih toepsoep, ka palungthin boih hoiah kahoih a Capa ih tamthanglok to ka thuih, tiah a tok ka sak pae ih Sithaw mah panoek.
For God is, my witness, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making mention of you
10 Sithaw koehhaih hoiah nangcae khae angzoh thai hanah, lawk ka thuih.
At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;
11 Thoemto Muithla tangqum nangcae han pazet moe, hnukkhuem ah tha na cak o thai hanah, nangcae hnuk han ka koeh parai.
For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
12 To tiah ni aicae mah tanghaih bangah maeto hoi maeto tha angpaek o thai tih.
That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13 Nawkamyanawk, kalah Gentelnawk khaeah athaih ka pakhrik baktih toengah, nangcae khaeah doeh athaih ka pakhrik thai toeng hanah, nangcae ohhaih ahmuen ah angzoh han kam sak khing boeh, (toe vaihi khoek to pakaakung oh vop, ) tiah panoeksak han ka koeh.
I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,
14 Kai loe Grik kaminawk, tuinuen kaham kaminawk, palungha kaminawk hoi palungha ai kaminawk khaeah doeh laiba ka tawnh.
Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
15 To pongah, Rom vangpui ah kaom nangcae khaeah doeh, ka thuih thai tawk kahoih tamthanglok to thuih hanah ka koeh.
Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
16 Kri ih kahoih tamthanglok pongah azathaih ka tawn ai: kahoih tamthanglok loe tang kaminawk boih pahlong hanah, Sithaw thacakhaih ah oh, hmaloe koekah Judahnawk hanah oh, to pacoengah Gentelnawk han doeh oh.
For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;
17 Katoeng kami loe tanghaih hoiah hing tih, tiah tarik ih oh baktih toengah, tanghaih rang hoiah kaom Sithaw toenghaih loe, tanghaih rang hoiah ni amtueng.
For, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.
18 Sithaw palungphuihaih loe van bang hoiah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk, katoeng ai kaminawk hoi loktang to katoeng ai ah patoh kaminawk boih khaeah amtueng boeh.
For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —
19 Sithaw mah nihcae khaeah hnuksak pongah, panoek han koi Sithaw ih hmuennawk to nihcae khaeah amtueng pae.
Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
20 Long oh tangsuek na hoi amtueng ai hmuennawk to kamtueng ah hnuk thai boeh, dungzan a thacakhaih hoi Sithaw ah ohhaih to, a sak ih hmuenawk rang hoiah kamtueng ah panoek boeh pongah, a sak o ih zaehaih to nihcae mah angphat o thai mak ai. (aïdios g126)
For, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 Nihcae loe Sithaw panoek o, toe Anih to Sithaw baktiah pakoeh o ai, kawnhaih lok doeh thui o ai; nihcae poekhaih loe tidoeh avang ai, nihcae amthuhaih palung loe khoving baktiah tahmuep.
Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,
22 Angmacae hoi angmacae to palungha kami ah poek o, toe nihcae loe kamthu kami ni,
Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
23 amro thai ai Sithaw lensawkhaih to amro thaih kami baktiah sakcop ih krang, tavaanawk, khok palito kaom moinawk hoi long ah kavak hmuennawk baktiah a sak pakhraih o ving.
And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:
24 To pongah angmacae zae sak koehhaih palungthin baktih toengah, angmacae hoi angmacae salakah angmacae ih takpum to azatsak hanah, Sithaw mah nihcae han kaciim ai poekhaih to paek.
Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
25 Nihcae loe loktang Sithaw to amsawn lok hoiah athlaeng o ving moe, dungzan tahamhoihaih ah kaom, Sahkung pongah, sak ih hmuen to a bok o lat. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
26 Hae pongah Sithaw mah nihcae khaeah kasae sak koehhaih palungthin to paek: nongpatanawk loe sakzong ih hmuen baktiah sah o ai ah, sakzong ai ih hmuen to a sak o lat:
For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —
27 to baktih toengah nongpanawk mah doeh, nongpata hoi angkom zonghaih to pahnawt o moe, maeto hoi maeto zae sak koehhaih palungthin hmai baktiah bet o pongah, azat kaom hmuen ah kaom nongpa hoi nongpa zaehaih to a sak o, to tiah a sakpazae o ih hmuen baktih toengah nihcae mah atho to hnuk o.
In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —
28 Nihcae loe Sithaw panoek han koeh o ai pongah, sak kahoih ai hmuennawk to saksak hanah, Sithaw mah kamro poekhaih to nihcae hanah paek;
And, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,
29 nihcae loe zaehaih congca, toeng ai ah khosakhaih, zu sava laep ah nongpa hoi nongpata zae sakhaih, poeksethaih, kamthlai hmoek koehhaih, hnukmahaih, uthaih, humhaih, angaekhaih, alinghaih, poeksethaih, kami pronghaih hoiah koi o,
Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
30 ahmin kasae thui kami, Sithaw hnuma kami, kami khet patoek kami, poeksang kami, amoek kami, kahoih ai hmuennawk sah kami, amno hoi ampa lok tahngai ai kami,
Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
31 panoek thai ai kami, oepthok ai kami, amlunghaih tawn ai kami, misa koeh kami, palungnathaih tawn ai kami ah oh o.
Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
32 To baktih toksah kami loe duek han krak, tiah Sithaw lokcaekhaih to nihcae mah panoek o, toe nihcae loe to baktih hmuennawk sak khue to khawt ai, to baktih hmuen sak hanah kaminawk to thapaek o.
Who, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].
