1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
1To tiah nahaeloe Judah kami ah ohhaih timaw atho oh? To tih ai boeh loe tangyat hin aahhaih rang hoiah tih amekhaih maw oh?
2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
2Amekhaih congca oh: lokpui koekah, Sithaw lok to nihcae khaeah pakuemsak pongah amekhaih oh.
3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
3Thoemto kaminawk mah tang o ai nahaeloe kawbangmaw om o tih? Katang ai nihcae khosakhaih mah Sithaw oep ohhaih to amrosak maw?
4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
4To tiah na ai ni: ue, Na thuih ih lok pongah toenghaih na hnu tih, lokcaekhaih na tongh naah na pazawk tih, tiah tarik ih oh baktih toengah, kami boih lok amlai o cadoeh, Sithaw loe loktang ah oh.
5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
5Toe aicae sethaih mah Sithaw toenghaih to amtuengsak nahaeloe, kawbangmaw a thuih o han? Aicae danpaek Sithaw loe toeng ai ah maw oh? (Kami baktiah ni lok ka thuih)
6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
6To tiah na ai ni: to tiah om nahaeloe Sithaw mah kawbangmaw long hae lokcaek tih?
7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
7Lok kam laihaih hoiah loktang ah kaom Sithaw lensawkhaih to amtueng aep nahaeloe, tipongah kami zae maeto baktiah kai lokcaekhaih oh vop loe?
8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
8To tiah nahaeloe tipongah kahoih hmuen tacawt thai hanah, kasae hmuen to sah o ngala si, tiah a thui o ai loe? (To tiah lok a thuih o ti, tiah thoemto kaminawk mah kaicae kasae ang thuih o). To tiah lokthui kami loe lokcaek han krak.
9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
9To tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw oh boeh? Aicae loe nihcae pongah hoih kue maw? Hoih ai, hoih kue ai: Judahnawk doeh, Gentelnawk doeh, zaehaih thungah ni oh o boih, tiah kamnoekta ah kang thuih o boeh;
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
10katoeng kami mi doeh om ai, om ai, maeto doeh om ai:
11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
11kathaih kop kami mi doeh om ai, Sithaw pakrong kami mi doeh om ai.
12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
12Nihcae loe loklam amkhraeng o boih boeh, nihcae loe tidoeh avang o ai boeh; kahoih hmuen sah kami mi doeh om ai, om ai, maeto doeh om ai.
13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
13Nihcae ih aqawnh loe taprong baktiah amongh moe, palai hoiah alinghaih lok to thuih o; nihcae ih pahni ah pahui kasoe to oh:
14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
14nihcae ih pakha loe tangoenghaih hoi kakhaa lok hoiah koi:
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
15athii palong hanah karangah khok takanh o;
16ruin and misery lie in their wake,
16a caeh o haih loklam ah amrohaih hoi patangkhanghaih to oh:
17and the way of peace they have not known.”
17monghaih loklam nihcae mah panoek o ai:
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18nihcae mik ah Sithaw zithaih roe om ai, tiah Cabu thungah tarik ih oh.
19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
19Kami boih mah lok apae ai ah oh moe, long kaminawk boih Sithaw hmaa ah lokcaek thai hanah, kaalok mah thuih ih hmuennawk boih loe kaalok thungah kaom kaminawk han ih ni thuih, tito vaihi a panoek o boeh.
20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
20Kaalok mah zaehaih amtuengsak pongah, mi kawbaktih doeh kaalok pazuihaih rang hoiah Anih hmaa ah toenghaih hnu mak ai.
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
21Toe vaihi loe kaalok hoi tahmaanawk ih lok mah hnukung ah oh boeh, Sithaw toenghaih loe kaalok pazuihaih hoiah om ai;
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
22Sithaw toenghaih loe, kaminawk boih hoi tanghaih tawn kaminawk boih hanah, Jesu Kri tanghaih rang hoiah ni oh; mi kawbaktih doeh lahhaih om ai boeh:
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23kami boih zae o boeh moe, Sithaw lensawkhaih to hnu o thai ai boeh;
24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
24atho paek ai ah Kri Jesu mah akranghaih hoi a tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni toenghaih to a hnuk o:
25God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
25Anih patangkhanghaih rang hoiah canghnii ah sak ih zaehaihnawk loe Sithaw mah tahmen boeh; a toenghaih to amtuengsak hanah, anih tanghaih rang hoiah, Angmah ih athii hoiah aicae zuengah tahmen hnikhaih angbawnhaih sak hanah, Sithaw mah to tiah sak boeh.
26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
26Anih loe katoeng kami ah oh, Jesu tanghaih tawn kaminawk toenghaih hnuksak hanah, a toenghaih to vaihi amtuengsak boeh.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
27To tiah nahaeloe amoekhaih loe naa ah maw oh boeh? Amoekhaih loe anghmaat ving boeh. Kawbaktih kaalok pongah maw anghmaat ving? Toksakhaih hoiah maw anghmaat? Toksakhaih hoiah na ai ni; kaalok tanghaih rang hoiah ni.
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
28To pongah, kami loe kaalok pazui pongah na ai, tanghaih rang hoiah ni toenghaih to hnuk, tito a panoek o.
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
29Anih loe Judahnawk ih Sithaw khue maw? Gentelnawk ih Sithaw ah doeh om ai maw? Ue, Gentelnawk ih Sithaw ah doeh oh.
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
30Sithaw loe maeto ah oh pongah, anih mah tangyat hin aat kami to tanghaih rang hoiah ni toenghaih to hnusak ueloe, tangyat hin aat ai kami doeh tanghaih rang hoiah ni toenghaih to hnusak tih.
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.
31To tiah nahaeloe tanghaih rang hoiah aicae mah kaalok a phraek o maw? A phrae o ai, ue, kaalok to ni a cak o sak aep.
