Romans 7
1 Know all of you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
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.
2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
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.
3 So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
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.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, all of you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that all of you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
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.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Pumsa la n'om uh vaengah olkhueng rhangneh tholhnah kah patangnah loh mamih kah pumrho ah tueng tih dueknah la thaihtak.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, (pneuma) and not in the oldness of the letter.
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.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet.
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.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Tedae olpaek lamloh tholhnah te rhoidoengnah la a loh tih ka khuiah hoehhamnah boeih ha thoeng. Te dongah olkhueng mueh atah tholhnah loh duek.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Kai khaw hnukbuet ah olkhueng muehla ka hing dae olpaek ha pawk neh tholhnah te koe hing.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Te dongah kai ka duek tih hingnah ham tila ka hmuh olpaek tah dueknah la poeh.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Tholhnah tah olpaek neh a rhoidoeng tih kai n'hoilae phoeiah n'ngawn.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Te dongah olkhueng tah cim, olpaek khaw cim tih dueng tih then.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
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.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Olkhueng tah mueihla ni tila m'ming uh dae pumsa la ka om dongah tholhnah hmuila n'yoih coeng.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Te dongah ka thoeng sak te khaw ka ming pawh. Ka ngaih te ka saii pawt tih ka hmuhuet vik te ka saii.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Tedae ka ngaih pawt te ka saii atah olkhueng te then tila ka paipuei.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Tahae kah tholh aka thoeng te kai voel pawt tih ka khuikah aka kol tholhnah long ni a saii.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, ) dwells no good thing: in order to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
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.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
A then saii ham ka ngaih te ka saii pawt tih ka ngaih pawh a thae te ka saii.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Ka ngaih pawt te ka saii atah te te ka thoeng sak pawt dae ka khuiah aka kol tholhnah long ni a saii.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Te dongah a then saii ka ngaih vaengah kai taengah a thae te om tila a olkhueng he ka hmuh.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
A khuikah hlang te Pathen kah olkhueng ah ni ka hmae.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
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.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Kai tah ngaidaeng ngaikha hlang ni. U long nim he dueknah pumsa dong lamloh kai n'hlawt ve.
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
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.
