Rom 10

1 Khatben ah manuca rhoek, khangnah ham amih yueng Pathen taengah ka thinko kah kolonah tah rhenbihnah ni.

Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is, that they may get salvation.

2 Pathen kah kohlopnah a khueh uh te amih ham ka phong pah. Tedae mingnah nen moenih.

For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.

3 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.

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

4 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih te duengnah ham olkhueng kah a bawtnah tah Khrih ni.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

5 Moses loh olkhueng kah duengnah kawng te a daek coeng. Te tla a saii daengah ni hlang loh te nen te a hing eh.

For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

6 Tedae tangnah kah duengnah loh, “Na thinko ah, 'Unim Vaan la aka luei eh? Te tah Khrih aka khuen la om.

But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down: )

7 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)

Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead: ) (Abyssos g12)

8 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.

But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:

9 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.

Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

10 Thinko neh a tangnah te duengnah la, ka neh a phong te khangnah la om.

For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

11 Te dongah cacim loh, “Amah te aka tangnah boeih tah yahpok mahpawh.

Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

12 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.

And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:

13 Te dongah boeipa ming aka khue boeih te tah daem ni.

Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

14 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?

But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

15 A tueih uh pawt atah metlam a hoe uh eh? A daek vanbangla hnothen te aka phong rhoek kah a kho tah sawtthen tangkik.

And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

16 Tedae olthangthen te hlang boeih loh a ngai uh moenih. Isaiah loh, “Boeipa kaimih kah olthang he u long a tangnah,” a ti.

But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?

17 Te dongah tangnah tah hnavue lamloh, hnavue tah Khrih kah olka lamloh ha om.

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 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.

But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

19 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.

But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.

20 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.

And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

21 Te phoeiah Israel taengah, “Ka kut te hnin at puet pilnam ol aek neh boekoek taengah ka phuel coeng,” a ti nah.

But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.
