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

¹Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

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

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

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

³For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

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

⁴For Christ is the fulfillment or, completion, or end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

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

⁵For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.” Leviticus 18:5

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);

⁶But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ Deuteronomy 30:12 (that is, to bring Christ down);

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

⁷or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ Deuteronomy 30:13 (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”

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).

⁸But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart”; Deuteronomy 30:14 that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

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.

⁹that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

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

¹⁰For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

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

¹¹For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

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.

¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.

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

¹³For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Joel 2:32

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?

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

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

¹⁵And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Isaiah 52:7

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

¹⁶But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isaiah 53:1

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

¹⁷So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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.

¹⁸But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” Psalm 19:4

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.

¹⁹But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, with a nation void of understanding I will make you angry.” Deuteronomy 32:31

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.

²⁰Isaiah is very bold, and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.” Isaiah 65:1

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

²¹But as to Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” Isaiah 65:2
