Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Mihing khatsim in a thunei te thumang tahen. Banghangziam cile Pathian i thuneina simngawl a dang om ngawl hi: tua thuneina sia Pathian i piak a hihi.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgement.
Tua ahikom thuneina a do peuma sia Pathian i teal te a do a hihi: taciang tua a do te in amate le amate ki puavawkna thengsak tu hi.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
Banghangziam cile ngam ukte sia nasep pha a seam te atu in lauhuai ngawl hi. Ahihang na pha ngawl a seam te atu in lauhuai hi. Tabang hile thuneina lau ngawl in na om nuam ziam? a pha vawt in a, hong uk te in hong pok tu hi:
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
Banghangziam cile ama sia nangma phat natu in Pathian i naseam te a hihi. Ahihang na pha ngawl na vawt le, lau in; banghangziam cile ama in namsau sia manna om ngawl in toai ngawl hi: banghangziam cile ama in Pathian i naseam hi a, na pha ngawl a vawt te tung ah Pathian thin-ukna phula tu hi.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Tua ahikom Pathian thin-ukna atu bek hi ngawl in, a sia le a pha heakna atu in zong amate thu na ngai uh kul hi.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Tua ahikom hi thu hang in shia zong na pia uh hi: banghangziam cile amate sia pathian i naseam te hi a, hibang nate tung ah a tawntung in naseam uh hi.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.
Tua ahikom na piak tu uh te theampo pia tavun: neisa tungtawn piak kul te le sum le pai tungtawn piak kul te pia tavun; zatak tu te zakta tavun; upat kul te upat tavun.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
Khat le khat ki it tu simngawl, kuama tung ah leiba heak vun: banghangziam cile ngualdang a it peuma in thukham a khuangkhim a hihi.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
Banghangziam cile, palngul mawna vawt heak in, tual that heak in, nguta heak in, a man ngawl tettipang heak in, ngual neisa eang heak in; taciang a dang thupiak a om tazong, nangma le nangma na ki it bang in na innpam te it in, a ci sia sung ah huam siat zo hi.
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbour. Love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
Itna in a innpam tung ah a pha ngawl vawt ngawl hi: tua ahikom itna sia thukham kicinna a hihi.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
Taciang, tu in mut na pan in khanlaw hun zo hi, ci i he hi: banghangziam cile i up kipat tung lai sang in i ngupna ni sia tu in hong nai zaw zo hi.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armour of light.
Zan hun bo dek zo a, sun hun hong theng dektak zo hi: tua ahikom khuazing nasep te nusia in, khuavak ngalhiam sil tawng.
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
Poai vawt na le zukham na, paktatna le cilesa nopsak na, ki nialna le hazatna te vawt ngawl in, sun hun sung bang in thumantak in nungta tek tawng.
14 But put on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Ahihang Topa Jesus Christ sil vun, taciang cilesa deina te khuangkhim tu in ngaisun khol heak vun.
