Rom 13

1 Hinglu boeih loh saithainah neh a tanglue soah boengai saeh. Pathen lamlong pawt koinih saithainah te om mahpawh. Te rhoek tah Pathen loh a phueng tih a nuen rhoek ni.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

2 Te dongah saithainah aka khueh te aka pakai tah Pathen kah hoihaengnah ni a. kamkaih. Aka kamkaih rhoek long khaw amamih ni laitloeknah a yook eh.

Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.

3 Boe then hamla boei rhoek te rhihnah om pawt dae boethae ham tah om. Saithainah aka khueh te rhih na ngaih pawt atah a then te na saii vetih anih kah thangthennah na dang ni.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,

4 Pathen kah tueihyoeih tah nang ham a then la om. Tedae thae na saii atah rhih pai. Pathen kah tueihyoeih la a om dongah cunghang te pom yoe mahpawh. Thae aka saii te kosi neh a thuung ni.

for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.

5 Te dongah kosi dongah bueng pawt tih mingcimnah nen khaw boengai ham a kueknah om.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.

6 He dongah mangmu khaw na thoh uh. Pathen kah bibikung rhoek tah te te aka khuituk la om uh.

For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.

7 Docanah te boeih thuung. mangmu te mangmu la, lamkhong te lamkhong la pae, rhihnah tueng te rhihnah, hinyahnah tueng te hinyahnah khueh.

Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.

8 Khat neh khat te lungnah pawt atah laiba loeng loeng boeh. Hlang tloe aka lungnah long ni olkhueng te a soep sak.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

9 Te long te samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh, huencan boeh, nai boeh a ti. Tedae mebang a tloe olpaek khaw he olka ah cuii coeng. Te khuiah, “Na imben te namah bangla lungnah,” a ti.

For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."

10 Lungnah loh imben te a thae la a saii pawt dongah lungnah tah olkhueng a soepnah ni.

Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

11 Te phoeiah a tue he ming uh. Ih kung lamloh na thoh ham tue coeng ni. N'tangnah vaengkah lakah khangnah loh mamih m'phatawt coeng.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

12 Khoyin loh puh tih khothaih tah yoei coeng. Te dongah yinnah khuikah khoboe te duul uh sih lamtah vangnah kah pumcumnah te bai uh sih.

The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

13 Khothaih vaengkah bangla tluek tluek cet uh sih. Omngaihlawnnah neh rhuihahnah nen moenih, ihnah neh omthenbawn nen moenih, tohhaemnah neh kohlopnah nen moenih.

Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.

14 Tedae Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te bai uh lamtah khokhannah te pumsa kah hoehhamnah ham saii boeh.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
