¹Brethren, my heart's desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

¹Unaute aw, ka lungtang deihlam leh amau adia Pathian kianga ka thumna pen jaw, hotdam a hong hihtheihna ding uh ahi

²For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

²Pathian lamah phatuam a ngai uh chih ka theihpih ahi, himahleh theihna ahihvakin jaw ahi kei uh.

³For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

³Pathian diktatna theilou in, amau diktatna lamkhiak a tum ua, Pathian diktatna ah a kipe lut samkei uhi.

⁴For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

⁴Kris bel a gingta peuhmahte adin diktatna a muh theihna ding un dan tawpna ahi ngala.

⁵For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

⁵Mosi in, Dana diktatna jui jaw, huai diktatna jiakin a hing ding, chiin, a gelh.

⁶But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

⁶Ginna a diktatnain bel hichin a gen: Na lungsimin, Kua ahia van ah kah ding? Hiam (huai tuh tunglama kipan Kris va pi suk ding, chihna ahi);

⁷or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)

⁷Kua ahia khukthuk ah hoh suk ding? Hiam (huai tuh misi laka kipan Kris pi tou nawn ding chihna ahi) chi ken, chiin.

⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

⁸Ahihleh, bang ahia a gen? Thuin a honnaih hi, na kam leh na lungtang ah a om, chiin, a gen ahi; (huai tuh ginna thu ka gengen a hi).

⁹because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

⁹Na kama Jesu Toupa ahi chih na gupa, misi laka kipan Pathianin a kaithou chih na lungtanga na gintak leh hotdamin na om ding, chih.

¹⁰for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

¹⁰Min lungtangin a gingta ua, diktatna a mu jel uh; kamin a gum ua, hotdamna leng a mu nak uh ahi.

¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

¹¹Laisiangthouin, kuapeuh amah gingta a zahlak kei ding, achi hi.

¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

¹²Juda leh Grik mite bangmah ah a lamdanga tuan kei ua, Toupa khat a vek ua tungah Toupa ahi a, a min lou peuhmahte tungah hoihna a hau ngala.

¹³for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹³Kuapeuh Toupa min lou tuh hotdamin a om ding hi.

¹⁴How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴Ahihleh, a gintak louhpi uh bangchin a lou ding ua? A thu a jak louhpi uh bangchin a gingta ding ua? Thuhilhmi om louin bangchin a za ding ua?

¹⁵and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

¹⁵Sawl a hih kei uleh bangchin thu a hilh ding ua? Thil hoih tanchin kipahhuai tunte khe kilawm natel e! chih gelh bangin.

¹⁶But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

¹⁶Himahleh, Tanchin Hoih tuh a vek un a ngaikhe kei uhi. Isaiin, Toupa, ka thugen uh kuan ahia gingta? A chi ngala.

¹⁷So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

¹⁷Huchiin, ginna tuh jakna jiakin a hong oma, huan, jakna tuh Kris thu kigen jiakin a hongom hi.

¹⁸But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

¹⁸Ahihleh, a bil un a za kei ua hia? Za nake; A husa uh gam chih ah a thanga, a thu uh kawlmong phain a thangsuakta. Chih ahi.

¹⁹But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.

¹⁹Ahihleh, Isreal miten a za kei ua hia? Chi dia gen thamlouhte ka honhaza sak dinga; chi pilloute zangin ka honsuheh ding, chiin, Mosiin a gen masapen hi.

²⁰And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.

²⁰Huan Isai in hangtakin, hon zongloute muhin ka omta; hon kanloute ka kimusakta, chiin a gena.Ahihhangin Isreal mite thu ah, mi chihmoh leh selhatte din sun nilouh in kaban ka jak hi, achia.

²¹But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

²¹Ahihhangin Isreal mite thu ah, mi chihmoh leh selhatte din sun nilouh in kaban ka jak hi, achia.
