Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
1Te koinih pumsa ah a pa Abraham loh a hmuh te metla n'thui uh eh?
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
2Abraham he khoboe loh tang sak koinih thangpomnah a khueh, Tedae Pathen taengkah moenih,
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
3Te dongah cacim loh balae a thui? Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
4Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
4A saii dongkah thapang te lungvatnah la n'nawt pawt vetih a laiba banghui ni te.
5But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
5Saii pawt dae baltalh aka tang sak kung soah a tangnah vaengkah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
6As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
6David long pataeng khaw, “Khoboe kah voelah Pathen loh duengnah la a nawt pah hlang te tah yoethennah ni,” a ti.
7Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
7Olaeknah loh a hlah tih a tholh a muekdah pah rhoek te tah a yoethen uh.
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
8Boeipa loh tholh a nawt pah voel pawt hlang te tah a yoethen,
9This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
9Tangkhuet la, “He yoethennah tah yahvinrhetnah soah pawt atah pumdul ham a?” n'ti uh vaengah Abraham kah a tangnah te ni duengnah la a nawt pah.
10How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10Te vaengah metlam a nawt pah? yahvinrhetnah a om vaengah a? Pumdul vaengah a? yahvinrhetnah vaengah pawt tih pumdul vaengah ni.
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
11Te dongah yahvinrhetnah he miknoek la a dang te pumdul vaengkah aka tangnah kah duengnah kutnoek ni. Anih te pumdul lamloh aka tangnah rhoek boeih kah a napa la om sak ham neh amih te khaw duengnah la nawt ham ni ana khueh.
12And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
12Te phoeiah, yahvinrhetnah kah pa he, yahvinrhetnah bueng kah pawt tih a pa Abraham pumdul vaeng kah tangnah kholaeh te aka vai rhoek ham khaw a om sak.
13For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.
13Abraham neh a tiingan te Diklai rhopangkung la om ham te olkhueng nen pawt tih tangnah kah duengnah nen ni olkhueh a paek.
14For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
14Olkhueng rhang neh rhopangkung la om koinih, tangnah te tlongtlai tih olkhueh te a hmil coeng.
15For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15Olkhueng loh thintoek a thoeng sak dae olkhueng a om na pawt ah boekoeknah a om moenih,
16Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm 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,
16A lungvatnah vanbangla olkhueh kah tiingan boeih taengah a khangmai la om sak ham khaw tangnah nen ni a om tangloeng. Olkhueng kah tiingan taeng bueng ah pawt tih Abraham kah tangnah kah tiingan taengah khaw a om sak. Amah tah mamih boeih kah napa la om.
17(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
17Namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la nang kan coelh tila a daek tangtae vanbangla anih loh a tangnah hlan ah aka duek rhoek te aka hing sak tih, aka om pawt te aka om bangla aka khue, Pathen te om lamhma coeng.
18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
18Anih tah a ngaiuepnah voel ah a ngaiuep tih a tangnah dongah namtom rhoek boeih kah napa la om ni tila a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan te om van ni.
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
19Kum yacut pakhat lo tih aka duek tangtae amah pum neh Sarah kah bung duekrhok te a poek dae tangnah dongah a thathae pawh,
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
20Tedae Pathen kah olkhueh soah hnalvalnah neh boelhkhoeh pawt tih tangnah neh a thaphoh,
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
21Pathen te thangpomnah a paek vaengah olkhueh te aka rhoi thai khaw amah ni tila m'ming.
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
22Te dongah anih te duengnah la a nawt,
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
23Tedae anih taengah a nawt te amah bueng ham a daek pah moenih,
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
24Tedae mamih ham khaw, duek lamkah aka thoo mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh aka tangnah rhoek ham khaw amah te a nawt coeng.
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
25Amah te mamih kah tholhdalhnah kongah a voeih tih mamih kah tiktamnah ham a thoh coeng.
