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.
Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?
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 woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged 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 if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined 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.
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, [even] to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto 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 sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto 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 have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the 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? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:
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, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead.
9 Kai khaw hnukbuet ah olkhueng muehla ka hing dae olpaek ha pawk neh tholhnah te koe hing.
And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
10 Te dongah kai ka duek tih hingnah ham tila ka hmuh olpaek tah dueknah la poeh.
and the commandment, which [was] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death:
11 Tholhnah tah olpaek neh a rhoidoeng tih kai n'hoilae phoeiah n'ngawn.
for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.
12 Te dongah olkhueng tah cim, olpaek khaw cim tih dueng tih then.
So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, 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 unto me? God forbid. 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 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 carnal, 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 know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Tedae ka ngaih pawt te ka saii atah olkhueng te then tila ka paipuei.
But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Tahae kah tholh aka thoeng te kai voel pawt tih ka khuikah aka kol tholhnah long ni a saii.
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth 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, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good [is] not.
19 A then saii ham ka ngaih te ka saii pawt tih ka ngaih pawh a thae te ka saii.
For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.
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 would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth 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, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.
22 A khuikah hlang te Pathen kah olkhueng ah ni ka hmae.
For I delight in the law of God after 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 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 Kai tah ngaidaeng ngaikha hlang ni. U long nim he dueknah pumsa dong lamloh kai n'hlawt ve.
Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this 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 of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
