1I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
1Pathen loh a pilnam te a tueihno moenih ka ti. Te tlamte om mahpawh. Kai khaw, Israel hlang, Abraham kah tiingan lamkah Benjamin koca ni.
2God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
2Pathen 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?
3“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?
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.
4And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
4Tedae Pathen ol loh anih te, “Baal taengah khuklu aka cungkueng pawh hlang thawngrhih te kamah ham ka paih pueng,” a ti nah te ta.
5In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
5Te dongah tahae tue a khaw lungvatnah dongkah tueknah rhangneh hlangrhuel te om van.
6And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
6Tedae lungvatnah nen pawt tih khoboe nen koinih lungvatnah tah lungvatnah la om mahpawh.
7What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
7Te 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.
8as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
8A 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.
9And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
9David long khaw, “Amih kah caboei te thaang neh pael la, thangkui ham neh amih kutthungnah hamla om saeh.
10May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
10Hmuh pawt ham a mik tah hmuep saeh lamtah amih kah cinghen pum te phueih khuun saeh.
11I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
11Ka 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.
12But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
12Tedae 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.
13I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
13Nangmih namtom te ka thui coeng. A cungkuem dongah kai tah namtom rhoek kah caeltueih la ka om tangloeng tih ka bibinah te ka thangpom.
14in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
14Kamah saa te bet ka thatlai sak koinih amih rhoek khuikah hlangvang khaw ka khang sue.
15For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
15Amih kah hnawtnah te Diklai kah moeithennah la a om atah a doenah taoe te duek lamkah hingnah moenih a?
16If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
16Thaihcuek loh a cim coeng atah a hlom te khaw cim. A yung te a cim atah a hlaeng te khaw cim.
17Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
17Tedae 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.
18do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
18A hlaeng dongah koevoei boeh. Tedae na koevoei koinih nang loh a yung te na phuei pawt tih a yung long ni nang m'phueih.
19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
19Te vaengah, “A hlaeng a saih uh daengah kai n'cong eh?, “na ti bitni.
20That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
20Thuem ngawn ta, hnalvalnah te saih uh cakhaw nang tah tangnah neh pai. Aka sang koek la ngai uh boel lamtah birhih.
21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
21Pathen loh a hlaeng tang pataeng a hlun pawt atah nang te bet n'hlun mai mahpawh.
22Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
22Te 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.
23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23Te rhoek khaw hnalvalnah te a oei thil uh pawt mak atah a cong bitni. Pathen tah amih koep cong ham yoeikoek la om mai.
24For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
24Nang 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.
25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
25Manuca 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.
26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
26Te 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.
27And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
27He tah amih kah tholh ka khoe vaengah amih ham aka om kai taengkah paipi ni.
28Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
28Olthangthen ah nangmih rhangneh rhal la om uh ngawn dae tueknah dongah a pa rhoek rhangneh thintlo rhoek ni.
29For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
29Pathen kah kutdoe neh khuenah tah khangmai coeng.
30Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
30Pathen taengah ol na aek noek bangla a althanah dongah n'rhen uh coeng.
31so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
31Tahae kah rhoek long khaw a aek uh van. Nangmih n'rhennah nen ni amih khaw a rhen pawn eh.
32For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
32Althanah dongah Pathen loh boeih a uup pai daengah ni boeih a rhen pai eh.
33O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
33Aw 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.
34“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
34Boeipa kah lungbuei aka ming te unim, amah kah baerhoep la aka om te unim?
35“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
35Anih te koep sah hamla u lae Boeipa aka pae lamhma?
36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
36A cungkuem he amah lamkah tih amah lamloh amah ham a thoeng sak. Thangpomnah tah kumhal duela amah kah ni. Amen.
