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 soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up 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.
So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
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 a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
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 God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.
5 Te dongah kosi dongah bueng pawt tih mingcimnah nen khaw boengai ham a kueknah om.
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
6 He dongah mangmu khaw na thoh uh. Pathen kah bibikung rhoek tah te te aka khuituk la om uh.
For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on 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.
Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.
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, unless to love one another: for he that loves another 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, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Lungnah loh imben te a thae la a saii pawt dongah lungnah tah olkhueng a soepnah ni.
Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole 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.
This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that we should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when 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 far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour 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 the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.
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 do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
