Romans 7
1 Brothers and sisters, (I'm speaking here to people who know the law), don't you see that the law has authority over someone only while they're alive?
Nga joonte loong, ngah ih baat rumha jengkhaap ah sen ih esamjat jaatjaat ete, tumeah sen ih Hootthe tiit ah ejat ehan. Hootthe ih mina ah ethingtong pootdoh luulu pan ah.
2 For example, a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he's alive, but if he dies, she's released from this legal obligation to him.
Jengthaak ih, minuh nookcho ah, heh sawah ething mathan ih tong ah erah pootdoh ba song ah; enoothong heh sawah ah ti ano ba, minuh ah hootthe jun ih heh sawah damdi songta dowa ah sakchaak ih hoon ah.
3 So if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery. However, if her husband dies and then she marries another man, she wouldn't be guilty of adultery.
Lah angka bah, heh sawah ething tokdoh wahoh damdoh mok chosong abah, erah nuh asuh Hootthe jun ih roomjup matkapte et li ah; enoothong heh sawah ah ti abah, heh ah sakchaak ih hoon ah eno wahoh damdoh we chosong abah roomjup mat ah takah jeeka.
4 In the same way, my friends, you've become dead to the law through the body of Christ, and so now you belong to someone else—Christ, who was raised from the dead so that we could live a productive life for God.
Nga joonte loong, sen doh uh emamah angla, maatok doh Hootthe ah je ah, sen loong nep uh etek ejih ang an, tumeah sen ah Kristo hepuh hesak ni esiit; eno amadi sen ah tek nawa ngaakthingte wah heh raangtaan ih hoon lan, Rangte mootkaat adoh seng loong chap suh ah.
5 While we were controlled by old nature, our sinful desires (as revealed by the law) were at work within us and resulted in death.
Tumeah seng hansi tenthun jun ih tongsongti adi, seng sak nawa rangdah tenthun loong ah Hootthe ih boot jatthuk ha, eno seng moti loong ah thoontang etek nah thoon ah.
6 But now we've been set free from the law, and have died to what kept us in chains, so that we can serve in the newness of the spirit and not the old letter of the law.
Enoothong amadi bah, seng ah Hootthe nawa epui eti, tumeah seng phaatak ni sak tahe ah etek nawa ih jenti. Seng loong ehak Hootthe raangthiinta jun ih takah moke, erah nang ih bah ena Chiiala lam ih moh ih.
7 So what do we conclude? That the law is sin? Of course not! I wouldn't have known what sin was unless the law defined it. I wouldn't have realized that wanting to have other people's things for myself was wrong without the law that says, “Don't desire for yourself what belongs to someone else.”
Erah ang abah ah, rangdah ah Hootthe ni ejen li tam et ih? Tami liike! Erah nang ih bah rangdah ah tumjih ah ih Hootthe ih thong jatthuk halang. Hootthe ih, “Mih hukkhaak suh nak lungwaang uh,” ih lamok baatta bah, erah likhiik tenthun ah lajat thang ih moktong thengtang.
8 But through this commandment sin found a way to stir up in me all kinds of selfish desires—for without law, sin is dead.
Erah jengdang thoih ba rangdah rah ih jat ano nga ten ni jaatrep nyamnyook tenthun ah hukdong thukla. Hootthe ah lah angta bah, rangdah abah tekmang.
9 I used to live without realizing what the law really meant, but when I understood the implications of that commandment, then sin came back to life, and I died.
Ngah teeteewah uh ehak di Hootthe muh ih tongtang; enoothong jengdang ah dong haano, rangdah ah dongthingta,
10 I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life brought death instead,
eno ngah ah tekmang ih dongjat tang. Eno marah jengdang ih ngah suh roidong kotjih angta rah ih, etek ah jatthuk tahang.
11 because sin found a way through the commandment to deceive me, and used the commandment to kill me!
Rangdah rah ih lampo ah choh ano, nyia jengdang jun ih mokwaan hangno tek haat tahang.
12 However, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.
Erah ang abah, Hootthe nyi jengdang ah esa, kateng, nyia ese nep.
13 Now would something that is good kill me? Of course not! But sin shows itself to be sin by using good to cause my death. So by means of the commandment, it's revealed how evil sin really is.
Enoothong marah ese rah ih tekthuk halang ih liijih tama? Emah tah angka! Erah reete ah Rangdah angta; jengdang ah maak ano rangdah ih tekthuk tahang, tumthoi ah liidi rangdah ah rangdah jaatjaat ih noisok suh ah. Erah raang ih rangdah ah echoojih ehan han ih hoonla ih jengdang nawa ih noisok hali.
14 We realize that the law is spiritual; but I'm all-too-human, a slave to sin.
Seng ih jat ehi Hootthe ah moong achaang; enoothong ngah hansi mina, rangdah suh heh dah ang raangtaan ih sang tahang rah.
15 I really don't understand what I'm doing. I do the things I don't want to do, and what I hate doing, that's what I do!
Ngah ih nga tumjaat reeraanglang rah tasamjat kang; erah thoidi ngah marah reejih angta rah lareethang ih; marah ngah ih chiik hang erah ah reelang.
16 But if I'm saying that I do what I don't want to, this shows that I admit the law is good and right.
Ngah lareejih ah reekang no Hootthe ah epun ju angka ih thang hang.
17 So it's no longer me who does this, but sin living in me—
Erah thoidi marah ngah ethih reelang erah ngah tareekang; nga sak ni tongte rangdah rah ih reethuk halang.
18 for I know that there's nothing good in me as far as my sinful human nature is concerned. Even though I want to do good, I'm just not able to do it.
Ngah ih jat ehang— nga hansi dang ajang adi ese ah taroong tong ra. Nga ese reethung taat angang bah uh, erah ah ngah tajen reekang.
19 The good I want to do, I don't do; while the evil I don't want to do, that's what I end up doing!
Eseejih re suh ngah taat nooktang ah tareekang; erah nang ih bah marah ethih re suh lataat nooktang ah reelang.
20 However, if I'm doing what I don't want to, then it's no longer me doing it, but sin living in me.
Ngah marah lareejih ah mok re ang bah; erah langla nga teewah tareekang nga sak ni tongla rangdah rah ih reethuk halang.
21 This is the principle I've discovered: if I want to do what's good, evil is always there too.
Eno arah hootthe ah nga roidong di moh ruh ela: mabah ngah ih ese reeraang ah taatthun koleh ethih ah reejih ih hoonla.
22 My inner self is delighted with God's law,
Nga chiiala ah Rangte Hootthe asuh rapne ih roonla.
23 but I see a different law at work within me that is at war with the law my mind has decided to follow, making me a prisoner of the law of sin that is within me.
Enoothong ngaapuh ngaasak ni Hootthe jaat hoh moh arah japtup hang marah ngaathung ngaatak ni thunhang adi daan muila ra ah. Erah ih ngaapuh ngaasak ah rangdah hootthe phaatak adi tangsak halang.
24 I'm totally miserable! Who will rescue me from this body that's causing my death? Thank God—for he does this through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Ngah ah tumthan thungjoong theng ah! Arah puh asak ah ih tek lam nah siit hang adoh o ih jen panghang?
25 Here's the situation: while I myself choose with my mind to obey God's law, my human nature obeys the law of sin.
Rangte suh lakookmi liihang, Teesu Jisu Kristo jun ih arah reekot thoi ah! Erah thoidi, ngah di amangla: nga teewah ih Rangte hootthe ah ngaathung ngaatak jun ih jen moh ang, rangdah hootthe abah nga hansi puh asak nawa ih moh ah.
