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.
Every soul to the authorities being above [him] should be subject. Not for there is authority only except (by *N(k)O*) God, those however existing (authorities *k*) by (*k*) God instituted are.
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 the [one] resisting the authority the of God ordinance has resisted; those now having resisted upon themselves judgment will bring.
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.
The for rulers not are a terror (to the good *N(k)O*) (work *N(K)O*) but (to the evil. *N(k)O*) Do you desire now not to fear the authority? The good do perform and you will have praise from him;
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.
Of God for servant he is to you for good. If however evil you shall do, do be afraid; not for in vain the sword he bears. of God for a servant He is an avenger for wrath to the [one] evil doing.
5 Te dongah kosi dongah bueng pawt tih mingcimnah nen khaw boengai ham a kueknah om.
Therefore necessary [it is] to be subject, not only on account of the wrath but also on account of the conscience.
6 He dongah mangmu khaw na thoh uh. Pathen kah bibikung rhoek tah te te aka khuituk la om uh.
Because of this for also taxes pay you; servants for of God they are upon this very thing attending continually.
7 Docanah te boeih thuung. mangmu te mangmu la, lamkhong te lamkhong la pae, rhihnah tueng te rhihnah, hinyahnah tueng te hinyahnah khueh.
do render (therefore *K*) to all their dues, to whom the tax the tax, to whom the revenue the revenue, to whom the respect the respect, to whom the honor the honor.
8 Khat neh khat te lungnah pawt atah laiba loeng loeng boeh. Hlang tloe aka lungnah long ni olkhueng te a soep sak.
To no one nothing do owe only except one another to love; the [one] for loving the other [the] Law has fulfilled;
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 Not you will commit adultery, Not you will murder, Not you will steal (not will you bear false witness *K*) Not you will covet, and if any other commandment, in word this it is summed up, in the [saying] You will love the neighbour of you as (yourself. *NK(O)*)
10 Lungnah loh imben te a thae la a saii pawt dongah lungnah tah olkhueng a soepnah ni.
Love to the neighbour evil not does do; [the] fulfillment therefore of [the] law love [is].
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.
And this knowing the time, that [it is the] hour already ([for] you *N(k)O*) out of sleep to awaken; now for nearer [is] of us the salvation than when first we 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 nearly over and the day has drawn near. (We may cast off *NK(o)*) therefore the works of darkness, (and *k*) we may put on (now *no*) 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.
As in daytime properly we may walk, not in reveling and in drinking, not in sexual immorality and in sensuality, not in dissension and in jealousy;
14 Tedae Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te bai uh lamtah khokhannah te pumsa kah hoehhamnah ham saii boeh.
But do put on the Lord Jesus Christ and of the flesh provision not do make for desires.
