Rom 4
1 Te koinih pumsa ah a pa Abraham loh a hmuh te metla n'thui uh eh?
What shall we then say that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 Abraham he khoboe loh tang sak koinih thangpomnah a khueh, Tedae Pathen taengkah moenih,
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to glory about; but not before God.
3 Te dongah cacim loh balae a thui? Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
4 A saii dongkah thapang te lungvatnah la n'nawt pawt vetih a laiba banghui ni te.
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 Saii pawt dae baltalh aka tang sak kung soah a tangnah vaengkah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 David long pataeng khaw, “Khoboe kah voelah Pathen loh duengnah la a nawt pah hlang te tah yoethennah ni,” a ti.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness apart from works,
7 Olaeknah loh a hlah tih a tholh a muekdah pah rhoek te tah a yoethen uh.
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Boeipa loh tholh a nawt pah voel pawt hlang te tah a yoethen,
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Tangkhuet la, “He yoethennah tah yahvinrhetnah soah pawt atah pumdul ham a?” n'ti uh vaengah Abraham kah a tangnah te ni duengnah la a nawt pah.
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Te vaengah metlam a nawt pah? yahvinrhetnah a om vaengah a? Pumdul vaengah a? yahvinrhetnah vaengah pawt tih pumdul vaengah ni.
How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 Te dongah yahvinrhetnah he miknoek la a dang te pumdul vaengkah aka tangnah kah duengnah kutnoek ni. Anih te pumdul lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih kah a napa la om sak ham neh amih te khaw duengnah la nawt ham ni ana khueh.
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they are not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed to them also:
12 Te phoeiah, yahvinrhetnah kah pa he, yahvinrhetnah bueng kah pawt tih a pa Abraham pumdul vaeng kah tangnah kholaeh te aka vai rhoek ham khaw a om sak.
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 Abraham neh a tiingan te Diklai rhopangkung la om ham te olkhueng nen pawt tih tangnah kah duengnah nen ni olkhueh a paek.
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Olkhueng rhang neh rhopangkung la om koinih, tangnah te tlongtlai tih olkhueh te a hmil coeng.
For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect:
15 Olkhueng loh thintoek a thoeng sak dae olkhueng a om na pawt ah boekoeknah a om moenih,
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 A lungvatnah vanbangla olkhueh kah tiingan boeih taengah a khangmai la om sak ham khaw tangnah nen ni a om tangloeng. Olkhueng kah tiingan taeng bueng ah pawt tih Abraham kah tangnah kah tiingan taengah khaw a om sak. Amah tah mamih boeih kah napa la om.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 Namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la nang kan coelh tila a daek tangtae vanbangla anih loh a tangnah hlan ah aka duek rhoek te aka hing sak tih, aka om pawt te aka om bangla aka khue, Pathen te om lamhma coeng.
As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth those things which are not as though they were.
18 Anih tah a ngaiuepnah voel ah a ngaiuep tih a tangnah dongah namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la om ni tila a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan te om van ni.
Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 Kum yacut pakhat lo tih aka duek tangtae amah pum neh Sarah kah bung duekrhok te a poek dae tangnah dongah a thathae pawh,
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
20 Tedae Pathen kah olkhueh soah hnalvalnah neh boelhkhoeh pawt tih tangnah neh a thaphoh,
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 Pathen te thangpomnah a paek vaengah olkhueh te aka rhoi thai khaw amah ni tila m'ming.
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 Te dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Tedae anih taengah a nawt te amah bueng ham a daek pah moenih,
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 Tedae mamih ham khaw, duek lamkah aka thoo mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh aka tangnah rhoek ham khaw amah te a nawt coeng.
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Amah te mamih kah tholhdalhnah kongah a voeih tih mamih kah tiktamnah ham a thoh coeng.
Who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification.
