Rom 9
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Kri ah loktang ni ka thuih, lok kam lai ai, Kacai Muithla ah kasae kahoih panoekhaih palungthin mah doeh kai hnukung ah oh,
1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2palung ka set moe, boeng thai ai poek angphohaih ka tawnh.
2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3Taksa ah kaimah ih acaengnawk hoi nawkamyanawk hanah, kaimah roe hae Kri khae hoiah tangoenghaih tongh han khoek to ka koeh:
3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4nihcae loe Israel kami ah oh o moe, pacah ih caa ah ohhaih, lensawkhaih, lokmaihaih, kaalok paekhaih, Sithaw toksakhaih hoi lokkamhaih hnu kami ah oh o;
4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God , and the promises;
5nihcae loe aicae ampa ah oh o, taksa ah nihcae thung hoiah ni Kri to angzoh, Anih loe hmuennawk boih ukkung ah oh moe, dungzan tahamhoihaih Sithaw ah oh. Amen.
5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came , who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6Sithaw lok loe atho om ai, tiah thuih koehhaih ih na ai ni. Israel hoi tacawt kaminawk loe Israel kami boih na ai ni:
6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7Abraham ih atii ah oh o pongah, nihcae loe caa ah om o boih ai: toe Isak khae hoiah ni nang ih atii, tiah kawk o tih, tiah oh.
7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8To pongah, taksa ah kaom caanawk loe Sithaw ih caa na ai ni: lokkamhaih hoiah kaom caanawk to ni atii, tiah kroek o.
8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9Vaihi tue thuem phak naah, kang zoh han, to naah Sarah mah capa maeto sah tih, tiah lokkamhaih to oh.
9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10Hae khue ai; Rebekah doeh kami maeto, aicae ampa Isak ih caa to pom naah;
10And not only this ; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11(Sithaw mah qoih ih baktih toengah oh hanah, Sithaw khokkhanhaih loe toksakhaih hoiah om ai, kawkkung Anih koehhaih baktiah ni om tih, tiah a caa hnik tapen ai vop moe, a caa hnik mah kasae hmuen maw, to tih ai boeh loe kahoih hmuen maw sakhaih om ai naah,
11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12nongpata khaeah, Kacoeh mah kanawk ih tok to sah pae tih, tiah a thuih pae.
12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13Jakob to ka palung, Isau loe ka hnukma, tiah tarik ih oh.
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14To tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw a tih o han boeh? Sithaw loe toeng ai, tiah a thuih o han maw? A thui o mak ai.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah, Palungnat han koeh ih kami nuiah palung ka nat moe, palung han koeh ih kami to ka palung han, tiah thuih.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16To pongah kami mah koeh pongah na ai, toksah kami pongah doeh na ai, palungnathaih amtuengsak Sithaw pongah ni oh.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17Cabu mah Faro khaeah, Ka timhaih baktiah nang khaeah Ka thacakhaih kam tuengsak moe, Ka hmin long pum ah taphong han ih ni, kang qoengsak, tiah a naa.
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18To pongah, Anih loe a koeh ih kami nuiah palungnathaih tawnh moe, a koeh ih kami to palung thahsak.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy , and whom he will he hardeneth.
19To tih nahaeloe Anih koehhaih to mi mah maw pakaa thai ai to mah, tipongah Anih mah kami zaehaih to pakrong loe? tiah na thuih o han maw?
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Na thui o mak ai, toe, Aw kami, Sithaw lok aek nang loe mi aa? A sak ih hmuen mah Sahkung khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah nang sak loe, tiah naa thai tih maw?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus?
21Laom sah kami loe amlai long tawnkung ah oh pongah, kanghmong amlai long hoiah na ai maw kahoih laom hoi kasae laom to a sak?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22Sithaw mah angmah ih palungphuihaih to amtuengsak moe, a sakthaihaih panoeksak han koeh pongah, paro hanah sak ih palungphuihaih kaomsak laomnawk nuiah palungsawkhaih tawn nahaeloe timaw thuih han oh vop,
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23anih mah kating ai a lensawkhaih to pakoeh han sak coek ih, tahmenhaih laomnawk nuiah amtuengsak,
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24Judahnawk khae khue ai, Gentelnawk hoi anih mah kawk ih aicae khaeah doeh amtuengsak,
24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25Hosea Cabu thungah, Kai ih kami ah kaom ai kaminawk to Kai ih kami, tiah Ka kawk han; palung ai ih kami to kang palung, tiah Ka naa han.
25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26Nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Kai ih kami na ai ni, tiah thuih ih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk to kahing Sithaw ih capanawk, tiah kawk tih, tiah thuih ih lok to oh.
26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27Tahmaa Isaiah mah doeh Israel kawng pongah, Israel caanawk loe tuipui ih savuet zetto pop o langlacadoeh, kanghmat kaminawk ni pahlong ah om o tih:
27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28anih mah toenghaih hoiah toksak pacoeng hanah, lok takroek tih; Angraeng mah long ah sak han atimhaih to sah palang tih, tiah thuih.
28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29Tahmaa Isaiah mah loe, Sabaoth Angraeng mah aicae ih atii paquem ai nahaeloe, aicae loe Sodom baktiah a om o ueloe, Gomorrah hoiah anghmong tih boeh, tiah thuih coek boeh.
29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30To tih nahaeloe kawbangmaw a tih o han boeh? Toenghaih pazui ai Gentelnawk loe, tanghaih rang hoiah kaom, toenghaih to hnuk o boeh.
30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31Toe kaalok rang hoiah kaom toenghaih pazui, Israelnawk loe, kaalok rang hoiah kaom toenghaih to hnu o ai.
31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32Tipongah hnu o ai loe? Nihcae loe amthaekhaih thlung pongah amtimh o pongah, tanghaih hoiah pakrong o ai, kaalok mah thuih ih baktih toengah toksakhaih rang hoiah pakrong o lat pongah ni hnu o ai.
32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33Cabu thungah, Khenah, Zion ah amthaekhaih thlung hoi amtimhaih thlung to ka suek: mi kawbaktih doeh Anih tang kami loe azathaih tongh mak ai, tiah tarik ih oh.
33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
