Romah 7
1 Acunakyase, ka püie aw, thum nami ksingkiea kyase i ka pyen khai ti cun nami ksingkie ni. Khyang a xünga küt üng thum naw upki.
Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
2 Avaisüa a cei vekia nghnumi cun a cei am a thiha küt üng thuma keha veki, a cei a thih käna cei mahnaka thum üng lätki.
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3 Acunakyase, a cei a xüng k'um üng kpami akce a vepüi üng ani cun a ceia khana am sitihki ti khaie. A cei a thih üng ta acuna thum üngka naw mhläta kyase, akce a ceinak be üng pi nghnumi “am sitihkia” am kya.
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Acunakyase, ka püie aw, Thum cun asängeia küt üng nangmi pi nami thiki, isetiakyaküng nangmi cun Khritawa kphyema nami kyaki. Nangmi cun thihnak üngka naw tho beki Jesuha mtisa kyase nangmi cun Pamhnama khut pawhnak üng ning jah summangei vai ni.
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
5 Mtisa thuma mi xüngsei üng thum naw mtisa mkhyekatnak mthümhlet law se Thum naw mtisa üng khut bi lü avan thihnak üng mi dütki.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
6 Cunsepi, tuhkbäihta jah mankia Thum üngka naw mi lätki, isetiakyaküng, acun üng mimi cun mi thi pängkia akyaka phäha ni. Thum kphyüm üng yuka kba mi khüikia am kya lü, Ngmüimkhya thum kthai üng mi khüiki ni.
But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Acunüng, Thum a mät kung hin mkhyekatnaka kyaki mi ti khai aw? Am ni! Cunsepi, Mkhyekatnak na ksingsaki cun Thum ni. “Khyanga ka käh na hnaihei vai,” tia Thum naw am a pyen üng ta acuna hnaiheinak ta ini tia am ksing veng.
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
8 Cunsepi, mkhyekatnak naw ngthupet ngmangei na lü hnaiheinak naküt ka khana ve lawsaki. Thuma kaa mkhyekatnak akthi ni.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Kamät kung pi thuma kaa ka xüngki; cunsepi ngthupet a ve law ja, mkhyekatnak xüng lawki;
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
10 Acunüng, kei ka thiki. Xünnak vaia ngthupet cun ka phäha thihnaka kyaki.
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 Mkhyekatnak naw thum ngmangei na lü, na mhlei lü acuna thum am na hnimki.
for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Acunakyase, Thum cun ngcimcaihki, acunüng ngthupet cun ngcimcaih lü ngsungpyun lü dawki.
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 Akdaw pawh cun, ka phäha thihnaka kyaki aw? Am kya. Mkhyekatnak ni ka phäha thihnaka a kya ve; acunakyase, mkhyekatnak cun mkhyekatnak tia angdangnak thei vaia akdaw sumei lü na hnimki; mkhyekatnak cun ngthupeta phäha aktäa mkhyekatnak tia mdanki.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14 Thum cun ngmüimkya lama kyaki tia mi ksingki; cunsepi, kei cun mtisa lama mkhyekatnaka mpyaa jawiha ka kyaki.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Ka pawh am ka ksingki; ka pawh hlü am pawh lü, acuna hnün üng am ka hlüei ka pawhki.
For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Acukba am ka pawh hlü ka pawh üng Thum cun cangki tia ka jumki.
But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 Acunakyase, acuna am dawki ka pawh cun keia pawha am kya lü, mkhyekatnak kei üng vekia a pawha ni akya ve.
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Kei üng akdaw i am ve tia ka ksingki; acun hin mtisa lama kyaki, akdaw pawh hlünak cun kei üng ve teki, akdaw i am pawh ngü.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 Akdaw ka pawh hlü am pawh lü; acuna nghnün üng am ka pawh hlü akse ka pawhki.
For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
20 Am ka pawh hlü ka pawh khawi üng, pawhki cun keia am kya lü, mkhyekatnak kei üng vekia ni akya ve.
But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Acunakyase, hina thum ka ksing lawki; akdaw pawh vai ka ti üng akse ni ka xüei ta.
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Ka mlungkyawng kcang üng cun Pamhnama thum üng aktäa ka jeki.
For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
23 Cunsepi, ka mtisa ja ka kutkhawe üng thum kce veki tia ka ksingki, acun naw ka mlungkyawng thum ngcawhpüi lü, ka mtisa ja ka kutkhawe üng vekia mkhyekatnak ngthupeta kut üng mpyaa na pawhki.
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Khuikha veng! Thihnaka na cehpüiki hina mtisa üngkhyüh u naw na yung khai ni?
What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa üngkhyüh ahin pawhkia Pamhnama veia jenak ka mthehki. Acunakyase, ka mlungmthin lama Pamhnama thuma mpyaa ka kyaki, mtisa lama mkhyekatnaka thuma mpyaa ka kyaki.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
