< 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 [is] the benefit 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; Chiefly indeed for for 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?
What for if disbelieved some? Surely not the unbelief of them the faithfulness of God will nullify?
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.
Never would it be! should it be however God true, every now man a liar (even as *NK+o) it has been written: That then You may be justified in the words of You and (will prevail *N+kO) in judging You.
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.
If however the unrighteousness of us God’s righteousness shows, what will we say? Surely not [is] unrighteous God who is inflicting the wrath? According to man I speak;
6 Tetlamte om mahpawh, om koinih metla Pathen loh Diklai he lai a tloek eh?
Never would it be! Otherwise how will judge God 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?
If (however *N+kO) the truth of God in my lie abounded to the glory of Him, why still also I myself also I myself as a sinner am judged?
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 surely even as we are denigrated and even as affirm some [that] we to say that Let us do the [things] evil that may come the good things? Their condemnation just is.
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; We have already charged for Jews both and Greeks all under sin to be
10 A daek tangtae vanbangla aka dueng om pawh, khat khaw om pawh.
Even as it has been written that None there is righteous not even one;
11 Aka hmuhming te om pawh, Pathen aka tlap om pawh.
none there is who is understanding, none there is 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 turned away, together they became worthless; none there is (who *n) is practicing good, not there is so much as one.
13 Amih kah olrhong te hlan bangla ah tih a lai neh thailat uh. A hmui dongah rhulthae kah sue om.
A grave opened [is] the throat of them, with the tongues of them they were practicing deceit; [the] venom of vipers [is] under the lips of them;
14 A ka te thaephoeinah neh olkhaa bae.
of whom the mouth of cursing and of bitterness is full.
15 A kho loh thii long sak ham thui.
swift [are] the feet of them to shed blood;
16 A longpuei ah pocinah neh ngaidaengnah om.
ruin and misery [are] in the paths of them;
17 Te dongah ngaimongnah longpuei te ming uh pawh.
and [the] way of peace not they have known.
18 Amih mik ah Pathen rhihnah om pawh.
Not there is fear of God before the eyes of them.
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.
We know now that as much as the law says to those under the law it speaks, so that every mouth may be stopped, and under judgment may be all the world to God.
20 Olkhueng kah bibi loh amah hmaiah pumsa boeih tang sak mahpawh. Olkhueng lamloh tholh mingnah la om.
Therefore by works of [the] Law not will be justified any flesh before Him; through for [the] Law [is] knowledge of sin.
21 Tedae olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek lamloh a phong Pathen kah duengnah tah olkhueng voel ah phoe coeng.
Now however apart from law [the] righteousness of God has been revealed being borne witness 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.
[the] righteousness now of God through faith from Jesus Christ toward all (and upon all *K) those believing; Not for there is distinction.
23 Hlang boeih he tholh uh tih Pathen kah thangpomnah te a phavawt uh.
All for have sinned and they fall short of the glory of God
24 Jesuh Khrih ah tlannah rhangneh a lungvatnah loh a yoeyap la n'tang sak.
being justified freely by the of Him 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 set forth as God a propitiation through faith in His blood for a showing forth of the righteousness of Him because of the forbearance of the having taken place beforehand sins —
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.
in the forbearance of God; for (of the *no) showing forth the righteousness of Him in the present time for to be Him just and justifying the [one] of 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 has been excluded. Through what principle? That of works? No, but through [the] principle of faith.
28 Olkhueng kah khoboe voelah hlang he tangnah loh a tang sak ni m'poek uh.
We reckon (therefore *N+kO) to be justified by faith a man apart from works of the Law.
29 Te phoeiah Pathen tah Judah rhoek bueng kah a? Namtom rhoek kah van moenih a? Ue namtom rhoek kah van ta.
Or of Jews [is He] the God only, surely [is] (now *k) also of Gentiles? Yes also of Gentiles,
30 A tangtang atah tangnah neh yahvinrhetnah khaw, tangnah neh pumdul khaw Pathen pakhat long ni a tang sak eh.
(if indeed if indeed *N+kO) One God [is] who will justify [the] circumcision by faith and [the] uncircumcision through the [same] faith.
31 Te dongah tangnah lamloh olkhueng te m'hmil uh pawn a? A hmil pawt dongah olkhueng ni lat m'pai puei uh.
Law then do we nullify through faith? Never would it be! Instead law we uphold.
