Rom 11
1 Pathen loh a pilnam te a tueihno moenih ka ti. Te tlamte om mahpawh. Kai khaw, Israel hlang, Abraham kah tiingan lamkah Benjamin koca ni.
So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Pathen loh a ming oepsoep a pilnam te a tueihno moenih. Cacim loh a thui te Elijah te na ming moenih a? Pathen taengah Israel ham a huithui pah te?
God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,
3 “Boeipa, nang kah tonghma rhoek te a ngawn uh, na hmueihtuk te a palet uh, kai bueng n'hlun uh dae ka hinglu te a mae uh,” a ti.
Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.
4 Tedae Pathen ol loh anih te, “Baal taengah khuklu aka cungkueng pawh hlang thawngrhih te kamah ham ka paih pueng,” a ti nah te ta.
But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.
5 Te dongah tahae tue a khaw lungvatnah dongkah tueknah rhangneh hlangrhuel te om van.
In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.
6 Tedae lungvatnah nen pawt tih khoboe nen koinih lungvatnah tah lungvatnah la om mahpawh.
But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.
7 Te koinih balae tih a tlap te Israel loh a dang pawt he. Tedae a tuek loh a dang vaengah a tloe rhoek tah mangkhak uh.
What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.
8 A daek bangla amih te Pathen loh mutu mueihla a paek. Tihnin khohnin due rhoe la mik te tueng pawt tih hna te khaw a khui pah moenih.
As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.
9 David long khaw, “Amih kah caboei te thaang neh pael la, thangkui ham neh amih kutthungnah hamla om saeh.
And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:
10 Hmuh pawt ham a mik tah hmuep saeh lamtah amih kah cinghen pum te phueih khuun saeh.
Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.
11 Ka thui koinih, a paloe ham a tongtah uh moenih a? Te tlamte om pawt suidae amih kah tholhdalhnah lamloh namtom rhoek ham khangnah om vetih amih thatlai sak ham ni.
So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.
12 Tedae amih kah tholhdalhnah te Diklai kah khuehtawn la, a hloonah tah namtom kah khuehtawn la om koinih a soepnah aisat te metlam muep a om eh.
Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?
13 Nangmih namtom te ka thui coeng. A cungkuem dongah kai tah namtom rhoek kah caeltueih la ka om tangloeng tih ka bibinah te ka thangpom.
But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:
14 Kamah saa te bet ka thatlai sak koinih amih rhoek khuikah hlangvang khaw ka khang sue.
If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.
15 Amih kah hnawtnah te Diklai kah moeithennah la a om atah a doenah taoe te duek lamkah hingnah moenih a?
For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?
16 Thaihcuek loh a cim coeng atah a hlom te khaw cim. A yung te a cim atah a hlaeng te khaw cim.
And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Tedae a hlaeng te bet a saih tih oliverhol la aka om nang khaw te dongah n'cong atah a yung kah laimen te a bawn dongah olive la poeh.
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,
18 A hlaeng dongah koevoei boeh. Tedae na koevoei koinih nang loh a yung te na phuei pawt tih a yung long ni nang m'phueih.
Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.
19 Te vaengah, “A hlaeng a saih uh daengah kai n'cong eh?, “na ti bitni.
You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
20 Thuem ngawn ta, hnalvalnah te saih uh cakhaw nang tah tangnah neh pai. Aka sang koek la ngai uh boel lamtah birhih.
Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;
21 Pathen loh a hlaeng tang pataeng a hlun pawt atah nang te bet n'hlun mai mahpawh.
For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.
22 Te dongah Pathen kah rhennah neh a tlungthang te poek lah. A tlungthang loh aka bung rhoek te a tlak thil. Tedae nangmih te Pathen kah rhennah loh a tlak thil om. Rhennah te na oei coeng atah nang khaw vik m'vung ve ne.
See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
23 Te rhoek khaw hnalvalnah te a oei thil uh pawt mak atah a cong bitni. Pathen tah amih koep cong ham yoeikoek la om mai.
And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.
24 Nang te olive rhol kah a coengnah dong lamloh n'saih tih a coengnah te olive tang dongla n'cong atah amih ngai aisat a coengnah bangla olive amah dongla a cong ni ta.
For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
25 Manuca rhoek he olhuep soah na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih. Te daengah ni aka cueih loh amah la na om uh pawt eh. Cungvang ah thinthahnah loh namtom taengah a hah la a kun hlanah Israel taengah om coeng te.
For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;
26 Te dongah Israel tah boeih a khang tangloeng ni. a daek vanbangla aka hlawt kung tah Zion lamkah ha pawk vetih Jakob lamkah hlangrhong te a palet ni.
And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:
27 He tah amih kah tholh ka khoe vaengah amih ham aka om kai taengkah paipi ni.
And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
28 Olthangthen ah nangmih rhangneh rhal la om uh ngawn dae tueknah dongah a pa rhoek rhangneh thintlo rhoek ni.
As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.
29 Pathen kah kutdoe neh khuenah tah khangmai coeng.
Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
30 Pathen taengah ol na aek noek bangla a althanah dongah n'rhen uh coeng.
For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
31 Tahae kah rhoek long khaw a aek uh van. Nangmih n'rhennah nen ni amih khaw a rhen pawn eh.
So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Aw Pathen kah a cueihnah neh a mingnah tah boktlap la coih tih dung mai mah oe. Metlam mai lae a laitloeknah te m'mangvawt tih a caehlong te m'phavawt sut.
O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
34 Boeipa kah lungbuei aka ming te unim, amah kah baerhoep la aka om te unim?
Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?
35 Anih te koep sah hamla u lae Boeipa aka pae lamhma?
Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?
