Rom 7

1 Olkhueng ka thui vaengah aka ming maanuca rhoek te na mangvawt uh nama? Te olkhueng loh hlang te a hing tue khuiah a buem ta.

Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law, ) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?

2 Rhukom nu te a va a hing vaengah olkhueng neh a pinyen dae a va a duek atah a va kah olkhueng lamloh a hmil coeng.

For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:

3 Te dongah a va a hing vaengah va tloe sa koinih samphaih la n'thui ni. Tedae a va te duek koinih olkhueng lamkah aka loeih la om tih va tloe a sak te a samphaih la om pawh.

so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.

4 Te dongah ka manuca rhoek nangmih khaw Khrih kah pum rhangneh olkhueng ham na duek coeng dongah nangmih tah Pathen taengah thaihtak hamla duek lamkah aka thoo tangtae hlang tloe ham na om uh.

So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

5 Pumsa la n'om uh vaengah olkhueng rhangneh tholhnah kah patangnah loh mamih kah pumrho ah tueng tih dueknah la thaihtak.

For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which [were] by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;

6 Tedae olkhueng lamloh m'hmil uh coeng. Aka duek rhoek tah te nen te n'khoh. Te dongah mamih loh sal m'bi ham he mueihla thai dongah tih cabu rhuem dongah moenih.

but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

7 Te koinih balae n'thui eh? Olkhueng te tholhnah a? Tlam te om mahpawh. Tedae olkhueng lamkah pawt koinih tholhnah te ka ming mahpawh. Olkhueng loh nai boeh ti pawt koinih hoehhamnah khaw ka ming mahpawh.

What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;

8 Tedae olpaek lamloh tholhnah te rhoidoengnah la a loh tih ka khuiah hoehhamnah boeih ha thoeng. Te dongah olkhueng mueh atah tholhnah loh duek.

but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.

9 Kai khaw hnukbuet ah olkhueng muehla ka hing dae olpaek ha pawk neh tholhnah te koe hing.

But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.

10 Te dongah kai ka duek tih hingnah ham tila ka hmuh olpaek tah dueknah la poeh.

And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:

11 Tholhnah tah olpaek neh a rhoidoeng tih kai n'hoilae phoeiah n'ngawn.

for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].

12 Te dongah olkhueng tah cim, olpaek khaw cim tih dueng tih then.

So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 Te koinih aka then te kai ham dueknah la coeng a? coeng rhoerhoe mahpawh. Tedae tholh te tholhnah la hmat ham a then lamloh kai ham dueknah ha thoeng. Te dongah tholhnah tah olpaek lamloh a puehkan la tholh ha coeng.

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14 Olkhueng tah mueihla ni tila m'ming uh dae pumsa la ka om dongah tholhnah hmuila n'yoih coeng.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

15 Te dongah ka thoeng sak te khaw ka ming pawh. Ka ngaih te ka saii pawt tih ka hmuhuet vik te ka saii.

For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

16 Tedae ka ngaih pawt te ka saii atah olkhueng te then tila ka paipuei.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.

17 Tahae kah tholh aka thoeng te kai voel pawt tih ka khuikah aka kol tholhnah long ni a saii.

Now then [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

18 Ka pumsa ah aka om te ka khuiah kol pawh tila ka ming. A then ngaih ham tah ka khuiah om dae a then tah ha thoeng laklo pawh.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.

19 A then saii ham ka ngaih te ka saii pawt tih ka ngaih pawh a thae te ka saii.

For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

20 Ka ngaih pawt te ka saii atah te te ka thoeng sak pawt dae ka khuiah aka kol tholhnah long ni a saii.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

21 Te dongah a then saii ka ngaih vaengah kai taengah a thae te om tila a olkhueng he ka hmuh.

I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.

22 A khuikah hlang te Pathen kah olkhueng ah ni ka hmae.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:

23 Olkhueng tloe te ka pumrho ah om tih ka lungbuei kah olkhueng te a vathoh thil. Te dongah ka pumrho ah aka om tholh kah olkhueng neh kai n'sol te ka ming.

but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.

24 Kai tah ngaidaeng ngaikha hlang ni. U long nim he dueknah pumsa dong lamloh kai n'hlawt ve.

O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?

25 Tedae mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih rhangneh Pathen te ka lungvatnah. Te dongah kai kamah khaw lungbuei cungvang loh Pathen olkhueng kah sal ka bi dae ka pumsa tah tholhnah olkhueng neh om.

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
