¹Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.

¹Huaijiakin, mihing aw, mi selhat kuapeuh himahlechin, pau lam himhim na neikei hi; midang na selna mahah nangmah leh nangmah siamlouh kitang sak na hi; nang selhatin leng huchibang thilte tuh na hih sam ngala.

²And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

²Huchibang thil hih nakte tungah Pathian vaihawmna tuh diktak in a tung chih i thei ngala.

³And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

³Mihing aw, huchibang thil hih nakte gensia, nang leng huchibang na hih sam ngal naka Pathian vaihawmna pelh na kigingta ahia?

⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

⁴A hihkeileh, Pathian hoihna tuh kisiknaa nang honpi dinga om ahi chih theilouin, a hoihna, a thuaktheihna leh, a dohtheihna hauhnate na ngaineu ahi a?

⁵but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁵Na chihmoh leh na lungtang khauh jiakin, hehna leh Pathian vaihawmna diktat hongkilatna ni chiang adingin, na tungah hehna na kikhol khawm tawm ahi.

⁶who will render to every man according to his works:

⁶Pathianin mi chih a thil hih bang jel un a hawmsak dinga;

⁷to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

⁷thil hoih hih teiteia, thupina leh pahtawina leh manthat theihlouhna zong mite kiangah, khantawn hinna a pe ding;

⁸but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,

⁸a hihhangin, genhaka, thutak jui lou a, gitlouhna jui zote tungah, hehna leh thangpaihna te, haksatna leh lungkhamna thupitakte a om dia;

⁹tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

⁹mihing thil hihkhial tengteng kha tungah a om ding, Juda mi kha tungah a masa dia, huan, Grik mi kha tungah a om nawn ding.

¹⁰but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

¹⁰Ahihhangin, thil hoih hih peuhmah kiangah thupinate, pahtawina te, khamuanna te piak ahi ding, Juda mi kiangah piak ahi masa dia, huan, Grik mi kiangah ahi nawn ding.

¹¹for there is no respect of persons with God.

¹¹Pathianin mi deihsk tuam a nein gal keia.

¹²For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

¹²Kuapeuh dan neiloua thil hihkhial tuh, dan louin a mangthang ding hi; huan, kuapeuhmah dan neia thil hihkhial tuh, dana vaihawmin a om ding.

¹³for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

¹³Dan zami phette tuh Pathian mitmuhin mi dik ahi kei ua; dan juite tuh mi dik a hizo ding uh.

¹⁴(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

¹⁴Dan neilou Jentelten amau pianpiha dan thilte a hih un, huaiten dan neikeimahleh uh, amau leh amau danin a kinei tawm ngal ua.

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [them]);

¹⁵A lungtang uah dan thilhih gelh ahi chih a ensak uh, huai tuh a sia leh pha theihna un a theihpih hi; a lungsimte uh tuh a kisela, a thupukna-un siamlouh a tan hiam siam a tan hiam ahi ding,

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ka Tanchin Hoih gen banga, mihingte thugukte Pathianin, Jesu Krisa, a ngaihtuah ni chiangin.

¹⁷But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

¹⁷Himahleh, nang Juda kichi na hi a, dan na muanga, Pathian na suanga,

¹⁸and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁸a deihlam na theia, thil hoihjaw te hoih na saa, dana hilhin na om a,

¹⁹and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

¹⁹nangmah mah mittawte pipa, mial laka omte vakna hiin na kigingta a;

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

²⁰dan ah pilna leh thutak omdan na theih jiakin, mi pilloute hilhpilpa, naungekte hilhpain nakigingta hi;

²¹thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

²¹huchibang na hih ngal leh, nang, midangte hilhpa, nangmah na kihilh ka hia? Nang, mi guta lou dia hilhpa, nang nag u nak maw?

²²thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

²²Nang, angkawm lou dia hilhpa, nang ang na kawm nak maw? Nang, milim hopa, nang milim biakina thilte nag u nak maw?

²³thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

²³Nang, dan suangpa, nang dana na tatlek jiakin Pathian na hihminse jel ahi maw?

²⁴For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

²⁴A gelh bang ngei un Pathian min tuh noumau jiakin Jentelte lakah hihsiatin a om ta hi.

²⁵For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

²⁵Dan juipa na hih leh zeksum a phatuam ngial hi; dana talekpa na hih lebel, na zeksum tuh sum louh bang phet a honghita hi.

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

²⁶Huaijiakin, zeksum lou miin dan thu sehte a zuih leh, a zeksum louh tuh sum banga sim ahi kei dia hia?

²⁷and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

²⁷Huan, amau saa zeksum louhin dan a zuih kim uleh, nang, danthu gelh leh zeksum nei ngala, dana talekpa a honmohpaih kei ding ua hia?

²⁸For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

²⁸Alang lela Juda mi hi jaw Juda mi tak ahi kei hi; a langa sa lela zeksum jaw zeksum tak leng ahi sam kei hi.Ahihhangin, a lang lel hi loua, Juda mi hi, Juda mi tak ahi; huan, zeksum tak tuh, lungsim lama sum ahi, lai thu phetah hi louin, kha ah ahi; huai miin tuh mihing phat a loh keia, Pathian phat a loh jaw ahi.

²⁹but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

²⁹Ahihhangin, a lang lel hi loua, Juda mi hi, Juda mi tak ahi; huan, zeksum tak tuh, lungsim lama sum ahi, lai thu phetah hi louin, kha ah ahi; huai miin tuh mihing phat a loh keia, Pathian phat a loh jaw ahi.
