Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
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.
1Pathen loh a pilnam te a tueihno moenih ka ti. Te tlamte om mahpawh. Kai khaw, Israel hlang, Abraham kah tiingan lamkah Benjamin koca ni.
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:
2Pathen loh a ming oepsoep a pilnam te a tueihno moenih. Cacim loh a thui te Elijah te na ming moenih a? Pathen taengah Israel ham a huithui pah te?
3“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
3“Boeipa, nang kah tonghma rhoek te a ngawn uh, na hmueihtuk te a palet uh, kai bueng n'hlun uh dae ka hinglu te a mae uh,” a ti.
4But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
4Tedae Pathen ol loh anih te, “Baal taengah khuklu aka cungkueng pawh hlang thawngrhih te kamah ham ka paih pueng,” a ti nah te ta.
5Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5Te dongah tahae tue a khaw lungvatnah dongkah tueknah rhangneh hlangrhuel te om van.
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.
6Tedae lungvatnah nen pawt tih khoboe nen koinih lungvatnah tah lungvatnah la om mahpawh.
7What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
7Te koinih balae tih a tlap te Israel loh a dang pawt he. Tedae a tuek loh a dang vaengah a tloe rhoek tah mangkhak uh.
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.”
8A daek bangla amih te Pathen loh mutu mueihla a paek. Tihnin khohnin due rhoe la mik te tueng pawt tih hna te khaw a khui pah moenih.
9David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
9David long khaw, “Amih kah caboei te thaang neh pael la, thangkui ham neh amih kutthungnah hamla om saeh.
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
10Hmuh pawt ham a mik tah hmuep saeh lamtah amih kah cinghen pum te phueih khuun saeh.
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.
11Ka thui koinih, a paloe ham a tongtah uh moenih a? Te tlamte om pawt suidae amih kah tholhdalhnah lamloh namtom rhoek ham khangnah om vetih amih thatlai sak ham ni.
12Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
12Tedae amih kah tholhdalhnah te Diklai kah khuehtawn la, a hloonah tah namtom kah khuehtawn la om koinih a soepnah aisat te metlam muep a om eh.
13For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
13Nangmih namtom te ka thui coeng. A cungkuem dongah kai tah namtom rhoek kah caeltueih la ka om tangloeng tih ka bibinah te ka thangpom.
14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14Kamah saa te bet ka thatlai sak koinih amih rhoek khuikah hlangvang khaw ka khang sue.
15For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
15Amih kah hnawtnah te Diklai kah moeithennah la a om atah a doenah taoe te duek lamkah hingnah moenih a?
16If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
16Thaihcuek loh a cim coeng atah a hlom te khaw cim. A yung te a cim atah a hlaeng te khaw cim.
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,
17Tedae a hlaeng te bet a saih tih oliverhol la aka om nang khaw te dongah n'cong atah a yung kah laimen te a bawn dongah olive la poeh.
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.
18A hlaeng dongah koevoei boeh. Tedae na koevoei koinih nang loh a yung te na phuei pawt tih a yung long ni nang m'phueih.
19You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
19Te vaengah, “A hlaeng a saih uh daengah kai n'cong eh?, “na ti bitni.
20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
20Thuem ngawn ta, hnalvalnah te saih uh cakhaw nang tah tangnah neh pai. Aka sang koek la ngai uh boel lamtah birhih.
21for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
21Pathen loh a hlaeng tang pataeng a hlun pawt atah nang te bet n'hlun mai mahpawh.
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.
22Te dongah Pathen kah rhennah neh a tlungthang te poek lah.A tlungthang loh aka bung rhoek te a tlak thil. Tedae nangmih te Pathen kah rhennah loh a tlak thil om. Rhennah te na oei coeng atah nang khaw vik m'vung ve ne.
23They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23Te rhoek khaw hnalvalnah te a oei thil uh pawt mak atah a cong bitni. Pathen tah amih koep cong ham yoeikoek la om mai.
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?
24Nang te olive rhol kah a coengnah dong lamloh n'saih tih a coengnah te olive tang dongla n'cong atah amih ngai aisat a coengnah bangla olive amah dongla a cong ni ta.
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,
25Manuca rhoek he olhuep soah na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih. Te daengah ni aka cueih loh amah la na om uh pawt eh. Cungvang ah thinthahnah loh namtom taengah a hah la a kun hlanah Israel taengah om coeng te.
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.
26Te dongah Israel tah boeih a khang tangloeng ni. a daek vanbangla aka hlawt kung tah Zion lamkah ha pawk vetih Jakob lamkah hlangrhong te a palet ni.
27This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
27He tah amih kah tholh ka khoe vaengah amih ham aka om kai taengkah paipi ni.
28Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
28Olthangthen ah nangmih rhangneh rhal la om uh ngawn dae tueknah dongah a pa rhoek rhangneh thintlo rhoek ni.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
29Pathen kah kutdoe neh khuenah tah khangmai coeng.
30For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
30Pathen taengah ol na aek noek bangla a althanah dongah n'rhen uh coeng.
31even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
31Tahae kah rhoek long khaw a aek uh van. Nangmih n'rhennah nen ni amih khaw a rhen pawn eh.
32For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
32Althanah dongah Pathen loh boeih a uup pai daengah ni boeih a rhen pai eh.
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 Pathen kah a cueihnah neh a mingnah tah boktlap la coih tih dung mai mah oe. Metlam mai lae a laitloeknah te m'mangvawt tih a caehlong te m'phavawt sut.
34“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
34Boeipa kah lungbuei aka ming te unim, amah kah baerhoep la aka om te unim?
35“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
35Anih te koep sah hamla u lae Boeipa aka pae lamhma?
36For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
36A cungkuem he amah lamkah tih amah lamloh amah ham a thoeng sak. Thangpomnah tah kumhal duela amah kah ni. Amen.
