1I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
1Kri ah loktang ni ka thuih, lok kam lai ai, Kacai Muithla ah kasae kahoih panoekhaih palungthin mah doeh kai hnukung ah oh,
2That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
2palung ka set moe, boeng thai ai poek angphohaih ka tawnh.
3For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
3Taksa ah kaimah ih acaengnawk hoi nawkamyanawk hanah, kaimah roe hae Kri khae hoiah tangoenghaih tongh han khoek to ka koeh:
4Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
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;
5Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
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.
6Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
6Sithaw lok loe atho om ai, tiah thuih koehhaih ih na ai ni. Israel hoi tacawt kaminawk loe Israel kami boih na ai ni:
7Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
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.
8That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
8To pongah, taksa ah kaom caanawk loe Sithaw ih caa na ai ni: lokkamhaih hoiah kaom caanawk to ni atii, tiah kroek o.
9For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
9Vaihi tue thuem phak naah, kang zoh han, to naah Sarah mah capa maeto sah tih, tiah lokkamhaih to oh.
10And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
10Hae khue ai; Rebekah doeh kami maeto, aicae ampa Isak ih caa to pom naah;
11For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,)
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,
12Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
12nongpata khaeah, Kacoeh mah kanawk ih tok to sah pae tih, tiah a thuih pae.
13As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
13Jakob to ka palung, Isau loe ka hnukma, tiah tarik ih oh.
14What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
14To tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw a tih o han boeh? Sithaw loe toeng ai, tiah a thuih o han maw? A thui o mak ai.
15For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
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.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
16To pongah kami mah koeh pongah na ai, toksah kami pongah doeh na ai, palungnathaih amtuengsak Sithaw pongah ni oh.
17For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
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.
18Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
18To pongah, Anih loe a koeh ih kami nuiah palungnathaih tawnh moe, a koeh ih kami to palung thahsak.
19Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
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?
20O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
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?
21Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
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?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
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,
23That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
23anih mah kating ai a lensawkhaih to pakoeh han sak coek ih, tahmenhaih laomnawk nuiah amtuengsak,
24Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
24Judahnawk khae khue ai, Gentelnawk hoi anih mah kawk ih aicae khaeah doeh amtuengsak,
25As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
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.
26And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
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.
27And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
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:
28For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
28anih mah toenghaih hoiah toksak pacoeng hanah, lok takroek tih; Angraeng mah long ah sak han atimhaih to sah palang tih, tiah thuih.
29And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
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.
30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
30To tih nahaeloe kawbangmaw a tih o han boeh? Toenghaih pazui ai Gentelnawk loe, tanghaih rang hoiah kaom, toenghaih to hnuk o boeh.
31But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
31Toe kaalok rang hoiah kaom toenghaih pazui, Israelnawk loe, kaalok rang hoiah kaom toenghaih to hnu o ai.
32Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
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.
33As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
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.
