Rom 4
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To tih nahaeloe hae hmuen pongah aicae ampa Abraham mah taksa ah tih atho maw hnuk?
1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2Abraham mah toksakhaih hoiah toenghaih hnu nahaeloe, anih amoek hanah hmuen maeto oh; toe Sithaw hmaa ah loe amoek thai mak ai.
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3Cabu mah timaw thuih? Abraham mah Sithaw to tang pongah, to tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae, tiah oh.
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4Toksahkung mah a toksakhaih atho hnuk naah, tahmenhaih hoiah hnuk ih tangqum ah om ai, a hnuk han koi a tok sakhaih atho to ni a hnuk.
4Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5Toe toksakhaih tawn ai kami loe Anih tanghaih tawn kami hanah toenghaih Paekkung to tang nahaeloe, a tanghaih rang hoiah katoeng kami ah oh.
5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6To baktih toengah toksakhaih om ai ah, Sithaw mah paek ih toenghaih hnu kami ih tahamhoihaih to David mah,
6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7sakpazaehaihnawk tahmen pae moe, zaehaihnawk khuk pae ah kaom kaminawk loe tahamhoih o.
7Saying , Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8Angraeng zae nethaih thung hoi loih kami loe tahamhoih, tiah thuih.
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9Abraham tanghaih loe toenghaih ah tapom pae, tiah a thuih o boeh. To tiah nahaeloe hae tahamhoihhaih loe tangyat hin aat kami han khue maw oh, tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk han doeh oh toeng maw?
9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only , or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10Kawbangah oh naah maw to tiah tapom pae? Tangyat hin a aah pacoengah maw? To tih ai boeh loe aat ai na ah? Aah pacoengah na ai, aat ai na ah ni toenghaih to hnuk boeh.
10How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11Anih loe tangyat hin aat o ai, toe to toenghaih to nihcae mah hnuk o toeng, tangcaanawk boih ih ampa ah a oh hanah, Abraham loe tangyat hin aat ai naah ni, tanghaih hoiah kaom toenghaih tacik tangyat hin aah angmathaih to hnuk boeh.
11And 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 be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12Abraham loe tangyat hin aat kaminawk ih ampa khue na ai ni, tangyat hin aat ai naah Abraham tanghaih khokkong pazui kaminawk boih ih ampa ah doeh oh.
12And 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.
13Abraham loe long qawktoepkung ah om tih, tiah lokkamhaih to oh: to lokkamhaih loe Abraham mah kaalok pazui pongah na ai ni, tanghaih rang hoiah kaom toenghaih hoiah ni oh.
13For 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.
14Kaalok hoiah hing kaminawk mah qawk to toep o nahaeloe, tanghaih loe avanghaih tidoeh om mak ai ueloe, lokkamhaih doeh azom pui ah ni om tih boeh:
14For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15Kaalok mah palungphuihaih to ohsak: kaalok om ai ahmuen ah loe zaehaih doeh om ai.
15Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16Abraham ih caanawk boih khaeah tahmenhaih rang hoiah kaom lokkamhaih to caaksak hanah, tanghaih loe lokpui koekah oh; lokkamhaih loe kaalok thungah kaom kaminawk han khue na ai ni, kaminawk boih ih ampa ah kaom, Abraham tanghaih tawn kaminawk boih khaeah doeh om tih,
16Therefore 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,
17Abraham loe kadueh kaminawk hinghaih paekkung, kaom ai hmuennawk omsakkung hoi a tang ih Sithaw hmaa ah, (Nang loe acaeng kaminawk boih ih ampa ah kang sak boeh,) tiah tarik ih lok to oh.
17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18Na caanawk loe to tiah om o nasoe, tiah anih khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham mah kai loe acaengnawk ih ampa ah ka om tih, tiah oephaih to tawn ai, toe tanghaih rang hoiah oephaih a tawnh pongah ni, anih loe acaengnawk boih ih ampa ah oh.
18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19Abraham loe (saning cumvaito thuemtham oh boeh,) Sarah doeh caa kak, toe tanghaih thazok ai, kadueh baktiah kaom a takpum doeh poek khing ai.
19And 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 Sara’s womb:
20Anih loe Sithaw lokkamhaih nuiah palunghaenghaih tawn ai, tanghaih bangah thacak moe, Sithaw to pakoeh;
20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21lokkamhaih sah Sithaw loe lokkam ih baktiah sak thaih, tiah kacaak tanghaih to a tawnh.
21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22To pongah, anih to kami katoeng ah tapom.
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23Anih to katoeng kami ah tapom, tiah tarik ih lok loe anih han khue tarik ai;
23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24aicae han doeh tarik ah oh toeng, aicae Angraeng Jesu duekhaih thung hoi pathawkkung Anih to a tang o nahaeloe, to tiah tanghaih to aicae toenghaih ah tapom pae toeng tih;
24But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25Jesu loe aicae zaehaih pongah duek hanah angpaek moe, aicae toenghaih hnuk hanah duekhaih thung hoi angthawk let boeh.
25Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
