Rom 3
1 Te dongah Judah hlang kah a banhman te balae? yahvinrhetnah kah a phu tah balae?
What, then, [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what the profit of the circumcision?
2 A longim boeih ah a phu muep om. Pathen kah olrhuh te lamhma la amih Judah rhoek a paek ngawn coeng.
Much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God;
3 Te dongah hlangvang loh a hnalval uh atah metlamlae? Amih kah hnalvalnah loh Pathen taengkah tangnah te hmil tang mahnim?
for what, if certain were faithless? Will their faithlessness make the faithfulness of God useless?
4 Om mahpawh, om cakhaw Pathen tah thuem. Tedae a daek tangtae bangla hlang boeih he laithae ni. Te daengah ni na ol neh na tang vetih na laitloek vaengah na noeng eh.
Let it not be! And let God become true, and every man false, according as it has been written: “That You may be declared righteous in Your words, and may overcome in Your being judged.”
5 Tedae mamih kah boethae loh Pathen kah duengnah a tueng sak atah balae n'thui eh? Kosi aka hong Pathen tah halang pawt nim? Hlang vanbangla ka thui lah eh.
And if our unrighteousness establishes God’s righteousness, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man.)
6 Tetlamte om mahpawh, om koinih metla Pathen loh Diklai he lai a tloek eh?
Let it not be! Since how will God judge the world?
7 Tedae kai boethae he Pathen kah oltak loh a thangpomnah te a pungtai sak atah, balae hlangtholh bangla lai ka thui pueng?
For if the truth of God in my falsehood abounded more to His glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
8 Tedae mamih ah hlangvang loh, “Boethae saii sih, te daengah ni a then ha pawk eh?,” a ti uh bangla soehsal uh boel sih. Laitloeknah tah amih ham om pah pai saeh.
And not, as we are spoken evil of, and as certain affirm us to say, “We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?” Whose judgment is righteous.
9 Te koinih n'rhoei uh a te? Rhoei loeng loeng mahpawh. Judah khaw, Greek khaw, tholh hmuiah boeih om tila n'cawh coeng.
What, then? Are we better? Not at all! For we charged before both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,
10 A daek tangtae vanbangla aka dueng om pawh, khat khaw om pawh.
according as it has been written: “There is none righteous, not even one;
11 Aka hmuhming te om pawh, Pathen aka tlap om pawh.
there is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God.
12 Boeih taengphael uh tih rhenten poci uh coeng, boethen aka saii te om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.
All went out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one.
13 Amih kah olrhong te hlan bangla ah tih a lai neh thailat uh. A hmui dongah rhulthae kah sue om.
Their throat [is] an opened grave; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of cobras [is] under their lips—
14 A ka te thaephoeinah neh olkhaa bae.
whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
15 A kho loh thii long sak ham thui.
Their feet [are] swift to shed blood.
16 A longpuei ah pocinah neh ngaidaengnah om.
Ruin and misery [are] in their ways.
17 Te dongah ngaimongnah longpuei te ming uh pawh.
And a way of peace they did not know.
18 Amih mik ah Pathen rhihnah om pawh.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Tedae olkhueng loh olkhueng hmuikah rhoek a voek te m'ming uh. Te dongah a ka te boeih khuem saeh lamtah Diklai pum tah Pathen kah khotoh khobah la om ve.
And we have known that as many things as the Law says, to those in the Law it speaks, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;
20 Olkhueng kah bibi loh amah hmaiah pumsa boeih tang sak mahpawh. Olkhueng lamloh tholh mingnah la om.
for this reason by works of law will no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.
21 Tedae olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek lamloh a phong Pathen kah duengnah tah olkhueng voel ah phoe coeng.
And now apart from law the righteousness of God has been revealed, testified to by the Law and the Prophets,
22 Pathen kah duengnah tah Jesuh Khrih kah tangnah lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih taengah hlihloehnah a om moenih.
and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and on all those believing—for there is no difference,
23 Hlang boeih he tholh uh tih Pathen kah thangpomnah te a phavawt uh.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God—
24 Jesuh Khrih ah tlannah rhangneh a lungvatnah loh a yoeyap la n'tang sak.
being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
25 Anih te Pathen loh a duengnah mingphnanah la a thii dongkah tangnah rhangneh dawthnah la a hmoel.
whom God set forth [as] a propitiatory covering, through faith in His blood, for the showing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the former sins in the forbearance of God—
26 Pathen kah uehnah dongah tholhsainah rhuem te hmilhnah la, tahae tue vaengah a duengnah te mingphanah la, Jesuh tangnah dongkah rhoek te aka dueng neh aka tang la aka om sak la om.
for the showing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.
27 Te koinih hoemdamnah tah melam a khoe, ba olkhueng nen lae? mekah khoboe nen lae? Moenih, tangnah kah olkhueng nen dae ni.
Where then [is] the boasting? It was excluded; by what law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith:
28 Olkhueng kah khoboe voelah hlang he tangnah loh a tang sak ni m'poek uh.
therefore we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.
29 Te phoeiah Pathen tah Judah rhoek bueng kah a? Namtom rhoek kah van moenih a? Ue namtom rhoek kah van ta.
[Is He] only the God of Jews, and not also of nations?
30 A tangtang atah tangnah neh yahvinrhetnah khaw, tangnah neh pumdul khaw Pathen pakhat long ni a tang sak eh.
Yes, also of nations; since [there is] one God who will declare righteous circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Te dongah tangnah lamloh olkhueng te m'hmil uh pawn a? A hmil pawt dongah olkhueng ni lat m'pai puei uh.
Do we then make law useless through faith? Let it not be! Indeed, we establish law.
