1I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1To tih nahaeloe, Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk to pahnawt sut boeh maw? Pahnawt sut ai, tiah ka thuih. Kai doeh Israel acaeng maeto ah ka oh, Abraham ih atii ah ka oh moe, Benzamin acaeng ah ni ka oh toeng.
2God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
2Sithaw loe angmah panoek coek ih angmah ih kaminawk to pahnawt sut ai. Elijah mah, Cabu thungah Israel kaminawk koeh ai amtuengsak hanah Sithaw khaeah khawbangmaw lawk a thuih, tito na panoek o ai maw?
3“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
3Anih mah, Angraeng, nang ih tahmaanawk to a hum o, nang bokhaih imnawk doeh a phraek o; kaimah bueng ni anghmat boeh, kai doeh hum han ang pakrong o, tiah thuih.
4But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
4Toe Sithaw mah anih khaeah kawbangmaw lok pathim pae? Sakcop ih krang Baal hmaa ah khokkhu cangkrawn ai kaimah hanah pahoe ih kami sang sarihto oh o vop, tiah a naa.
5Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5To baktih toengah vaihi doeh a tahmenhaih rang hoiah qoih ih anghmat kami maeto oh vop.
6And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
6Tahmenhaih rang hoiah om nahaeloe, toksakhaih rang hoiah om mak ai boeh: to tih ai nahaeloe tahmenhaih loe tahmenhaih ah om mak ai. Toe toksakhaih rang hoiah ni om nahaeloe, tahmenhaih hoiah om mak ai boeh: to tih ai nahaeloe toksakhaih loe toksakhaih ah om mak ai.
7What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
7To tih nahaeloe kawbangmaw oh boeh? Pakrong ih hmuen to Israel mah hnu ai: qoih ih kami mah ni hnuk, kalah kaminawk loe mikmaeng o,
8According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
8(Sithaw mah iih angmuethaih muithla, hnuk han ai ih mik, thaih han ai ih naa to nihcae khaeah paek;) tiah tarik ih Cabu loe vaihni ah akoep boeh.
9David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
9David mah doeh, Nihcae ih caboi loe nihcae hanah, dongh, thaang, amthaekhaih hoi a sak o ih baktiah pathok let ih hmuen ah om nasoe:
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
10nihcae mah hnuk o thaih han ai ah, mik amtueng pae hmah nasoe loe, kaengkuu o poe nasoe, tiah thuih.
11I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
11To tih nahaeloe, nihcae loe angthawk thai ai khoek to amthaek o boeh maw? tiah ka thuih, To tiah om ai: nihcae utsak hanah, nihcae amtimh o pongah ni Gentelnawk khaeah pahlonghaih to phak.
12Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
12Vaihi nihcae amtimhaih loe long angraenghaih ah oh lat boeh, nihcae mah pathlong ih hmuen to Gentelnawk angraenghaih ah om nahaeloe, nihcae akoephaih mah cae loe nazetto maw angraenghaih omsak aep tih?
13For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
13Kai loe Gentelnawk hanah patoeh ih kami ah ka oh baktih toengah, nangcae Gentelnawk khaeah lok kang thuih o:
14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14kawbangah doeh taksa ah kaimah ih kaminawk to utsak moe, nihcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk ka pahlong thai hanah, ka sak ih tok to kam oek haih.
15For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
15Nihcae pahnawt suthaih to long angdaeh lethaih ah om nahaeloe, nihcae talawkhaih mah cae loe, duekhaih thung hoi kahing baktiah na ai maw om tih?
16If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
16Naep hmaloe ih takaw to ciim nahaeloe, takaw loe ciim boih; tangzun to ciim nahaeloe, tanghangnawk doeh ciim o.
17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
17Nangcae loe, taw ih Olive thing ah na oh o, thoemto tanghangnawk loe angkhaeh o ving boeh pongah, nangcae to Olive thing nuiah pacong ah oh, to tiah Olive thing ih tangzun hoi athawk nawnto caak angbom kami ah na oh o nahaeloe,
18don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
18angkhaek tanghangnawk to amoek o thuih hmah. Nam oek o thuih nahaeloe, nangcae mah tangzun to tha na paek o ai, tangzun mah ni nangcae han tha ang paek o, tito panoek oh.
19You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
19Kai pacong hanah ni, to tanghangnawk to khaeh ving, tiah na poek doeh om tih.
20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
20Na poekhaih loe hoih; tang ai pongah nihcae loe angkhaeh o, nangcae loe tanghaih hoiah nang doet o. Toe poeksang o hmah, zithaih palungthin to tawn oh:
21for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
21tanghang tangtangnawk mataeng doeh Sithaw mah paquem ai nahaeloe, nangcae doeh paquem mak ai.
22See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
22To pongah Sithaw hoihhaih hoi kanung parai danpaekhaih to poek oh: amtimh kaminawk nuiah, kanung parai danpaekhaih to oh; toe nangcae khaeah loe hoihaih to oh, anih hoihhaih thungah na oh o poe nahaeloe, nangcae khaeah hoihhaih to om poe tih, to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae doeh pakhruh ving tih.
23They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23Nihcae doeh tanghaih tawn o nahaeloe, to akung ah pacong toeng tih: Sithaw mah nihcae to akung ah pacong let thaih.
24For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24Nangcae loe taw ih olive thing to pakhruk moe, tling ih kahoih olive thing pongah pacong ih tanghang ah na oh o nahaeloe, angmacae ih Olive thing tangtang nuiah cae loe hae tanghang tangtangnawk hae, kawkruk maw pacong thai aep tih?
25For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
25Nawkamyanawk, Gentelnawk akoephaih ni pha ai karoek to thoemto Israelnawk loe palung maeng o, tiah thuih ih hae lok tamqu hae panoek ai ah ohsak han kang koeh o haih ai, to tih ai nahaeloe nangmacae aling hanah nangmacae mikhnuk ah palungha kami ah na om o moeng tih.
26and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26Israelnawk boih pahlong ah om o tih: loisakkung loe Zion hoiah angzo ueloe, Jakob acaeng Sithaw panoek ai ah khosakhaih to anghmasak tih;
27This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
27nihcae zaehaihnawk to ka takhoe pae han, hae loe nihcae khaeah ka sak ih lokmaihaih ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh.
28Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
28Nangcae khaeah tamthanglok hoih phak thai hanah, Israelnawk loe Sithaw ih misa ah oh o: toe qoihhaih bangah loe, ampanawk rang hoiah nihcae loe Sithaw mah palung ih kami ah oh o.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
29Sithaw loe a paek ih tangqum hoi a kawk ih kaminawk nuiah poek amkhraihaih tawn ai.
30For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
30Nangcae doeh canghniah loe Sithaw ih lok na tahngai o ai, toe nihcae mah lok tahngai o ai pongah ni nangcae mah vaihi palungnathaih to na hnuk o:
31even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
31nangcae khaeah amtuengsak ih palungnathaih rang hoiah nihcae mah palungnathaih hnuk o toeng hanah, nihcae loe vaihi lok tahngai o ai boeh.
32For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
32Sithaw mah kami boih nuiah palungnathaih tawnh thai hanah, kami boih lok tahngai ai ah ohsak.
33Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
33Aw, Sithaw palunghahaih hoi panoekhaih loe kawkruk maw kawk moe len! A lokcaekhaih loe mi mah doeh panoek thai ai, a caehhaih loklamnawk to pakrong khing caedoeh hnu thai ai!
34“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
34Angraeng poekhaih panoek mi maw kaom? To tih ai boeh loe mi maw Anih han poekhaih kahoih paekkung ah kaom?
35“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
35To tih ai boeh loe Anih mah pathok let hanah mi mah maw Anih hanah hmuen paek vaih?
36For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
36Hmuennawk boih loe Anih ih ni, Anih rang hoiah a oh o moe, Anih han ih ni a oh o; lensawkhaih loe Angmah khaeah dungzan ah om poe nasoe! Amen.
