Romans 10
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Nawkamyanawk, Israelnawk pahlonghaih hnuk hanah, palung thungah koehhaih oh pongah, Sithaw khaeah lawk ka thuih pae.
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Nihcae loe Sithaw azom o, tiah ka hnuk, toe panoekhaih bangah khodai o ai.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Nihcae loe Sithaw toenghaih to pahnawt o moe, Sithaw toenghaih ah amha o ai ah, angmacae toenghaih to sak hanah pakrong o lat.
4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
Tang kaminawk boih toenghaih hnuk thai hanah, Kri loe kaalok boenghaih ah oh.
5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
Mosi mah, To hmuennawk sah pazui kami loe to hmuennawk sak pazuihaih rang hoiah hing tih, tiah kaalok rang hoiah kaom toenghaih kawng to tarik.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
Toe tanghaih rang hoiah kaom toenghaih mah loe, (Kri to ranui bang hoiah hoih tathuk hanah, ) Mi maw van ah daw tahang tih? tiah na palung thung hoiah thui hmah:
to tih ai boeh loe, (Duekhaih thung hoi Kri pathawk let hanah, ) Mi maw kathuk thungah angthum tathuk tih? tiah thui hmah, tiah thuih. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
Kawbangah maw a thuih tih nahaeloe, Lok loe na taengah oh, na pakha hoi na palung thungah oh: to lok loe aicae mah a thuih o ih, tanghaih lok to ni;
9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
Jesu loe Angraeng ni, tiah pakha hoi na taphong moe, Sithaw mah Anih to duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk let boeh, tiah palung thung hoi na tang nahaeloe, pahlong ah na om tih.
10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Palung thung hoi tang naah toenghaih to oh; pakha hoi taphong naah pahlonghaih to oh.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Mi kawbaktih doeh Anih tang kami loe azathaih tongh mak ai, tiah Cabu mah thuih.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
Anih kawk kaminawk boih nuiah paawt ai ah kapaek Angraeng maeto khue ni oh, to pongah Judah hoi Grik lahhaih to om ai boeh.
13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng hmin kawk kami loe pahlong ah om tih.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
To tiah nahaeloe tanghaih tawn ai kaminawk mah anih to kawbangmaw kawk o tih? Nihcae mah thaihaih tawn ai ah kawbangmaw Anih to tang o tih? Lok thui kami om ai ah kawbangmaw nihcae mah thaih o tih?
15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
Nihcae to patoeh ai ah kawbangmaw nihcae mah thui o tih? Angdaehhaih kahoih tamthanglok thui kami hoi khosak kahoih anghoehaih tamthang sin kaminawk ih khok loe kawkrukmaw kranghoih! tiah tarik ih oh.
16 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Toe nihcae boih mah kahoih tamthanglok to tang o ai. Tahmaa Isaiah mah, Angraeng, ka thuih o ih lok tang kami oh maw? tiah thuih.
17 So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Tanghaih loe thaihhaih hoiah angzoh, thaihhaih loe Sithaw lok hoiah oh.
18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
Toe nihcae loe thaih o ai maw? A thaih o boeh, Nihcae ih lok loe long pum ah phak boeh, a thuih o ih loknawk doeh long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh, tiah ka thuih.
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
Hae tiah ka thuih, Israel kaminawk loe panoek o ai maw? Hmaloe koekah Mosi mah, Acaeng kami ah kaom ai kaminawk to kang utsak moe, amthu kaminawk hoiah palung kang phui o sak han, tiah thuih.
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
Tahmaa Isaiah mah, Kai pakrong ai kaminawk mah Kai ang hnuk o; Kai khaeah hni ai kaminawk khaeah Kam tueng pae, tiah misa hoihhaih hoiah lokthuih.
21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Toe Israel kaminawk khaeah loe anih mah, Lok tahngai ai kaminawk hoi lokaek kaminawk khaeah, athun qui ban ka payangh, tiah thuih.
