Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
1Khrih ah oltak ka thui tih kai laithae moenih. Mueihla Cim ah ka mingcimnah te ka khuiah a phong.
2that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2Kothaenah loh kai taengah duel ha om tih lungnat loh ka thinko ah puh.
3For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
3Te dongah pumsa ah ka huiko ka manuca rhoek yueng la kamah rhoe Khrih lamloh ka paek uh vetih kosi yook ham ka thangthui.
4who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4Amih tah Israel rhoek ni, cacah neh thangpomnah khaw, paipi rhoek neh olrhinah khaw, thothuengnah khaw, olkhueh khaw amih kah ni.
5of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
5A napa rhoek neh amih lamkah ni Khrih te pumsa ah ha thoeng. A cungkuem soah aka om Pathen tah kumhal ah uemom pai saeh. Amen.
6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
6Tedae Pathen kah olka tah hmata pawh. Israel he khaw Israel lamkah boeih noenih.
7Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
7Abraham kah tiingan la a om uh dongah a ca boeih pawt dae Isaak ah na tiingan la a khue ni a ti ta.
8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
8Te tah pumsa kah camoe la aka om pawt rhoek tah Pathen kah a ca rhoek la om. Tedae olkhueh kah ca rhoek tah a tiingan la a nawt.
9For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
9He olkhueh ol loh, “A tue ah ka pawk vetih Sarah capa om ni,” a ti.
10Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
10Te bueng pawt tih Ribekka khaw a pa Isaak bueng nen ni a ihnah a om.
11For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
11A cun hlan tih thae then pakhat khaw a saii uh moenih. Te daengah ni a coelh bangla Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a naeh eh.
12it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
12Khoboe dongah pawt tih a khue rhangnen ni anih te, “Tanglue loh mathoe kah sal a bi ni,” a ti nah.
13Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13A daek van bangla Jakob te ka lungnah tih Esau te ka hmuhuet coeng.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14Te koinih balae n'ti eh? Pathen he boethae pawt nim? Tlamte a om moenih.
15For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15Moses te , “Ka rhen tangtae te tah ka rhen bal vetih ka sitloh tangtae te tah sitloh bal ni,” a ti nah.
16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16Te dongah aka ngaih kah pawt tih aka yong kah tangloeng moenih. Tedae Pathen kah a rhen rhoek kah ni.
17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
17Cacim loh Pharaoh te, “Nang te amah la kan pacuet. Te daengah ni ka thaomnah te nang ah ka phoe eh. Te daengah ni diklai pum ah ka ming a doek eh?,” a ti nah.
18So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18Te dongah a ngaih te a rhen tih a ngaih te a ning sak tangloeng.
19You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
19Kai taengah na ti tangloeng te. Balae tih vawk a coel? Amah kah kongaih te unim aka kamkaih?
20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
20Aw u hlang nang dae nim Pathen te oelh la naka om, a saii hno loh aka hlom aka bol kung te, “Balae tih kai nan saii van?” na ti nah pawt nim?
21Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
21Ambop loh amlai te a hlom boeiloeih dae he tah tuisi am la, ke tah am mailai la saithainah a khueh moenih a?
22What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
22Tedae Pathen loh a kosi sah ham neh a tatthai te phoe sak ham a ngaih. pocinah ham a hmoel kosi am te thinsennah neh muep ueh koinih ta?
23and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
23Te daengah ni amah kah thangpomnah cungkuem te rhennah am dongah a phoe sak tangloeng eh. Te ni thangpomnah la a hmoel.
24us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
24Mamih khaw Judah rhoek lamkah bueng pawt tih namtom rhoek lamkah khaw a khue van ta.
25As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
25Hosea dongah, “Ka pilnam pawt te ka pilnam la, lungnah pawt te lungnah la ka khue ni.
26“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
26Te vaengah amih te, 'Nangmih he ka pilnam moenih,’ a ti nah hmuen ah aka hing Pathen kah a ca rhoek la khue la om ni,” a ti van bangla,
27Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
27Isaiah long tah Israel ham, “Israel ca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tuitunli kah laivin bangla om cakhaw a meet ni a daem eh.
28for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
28Olka te soep vetih boeipa loh diklai ah tlek a saii ni,” tila pang.
29As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
29Te dongah Isaiah loh a thui vanbangla caempuei Boeipa loh mamih kah tiingan he hlun pawt koinih Sodom bangla n'om uh vetih Gomorrah neh n'thuidoek uh ni.
30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30Te phoeiah balae n'thui eh? Duengnah aka hnuktlak pawh namtom rhoek loh duengnah a rhawt. Tedae duengnah tangnah nen ni a dang.
31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
31Israel loh duengnah olkhueng te a hnuktlak dae olkhueng dongah a pai moenih.
32Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32U kongah lae? Tangnah nen pawt tih khoboe lamkah bangla caehkoek lungto te a tongtah uh.
33even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
33A daek vanbangla Zion ah caehkoek lungto neh thangkui lungpang ka khueh ke. Tedae amah te aka tangnah tah yahpok mahpawh.
