Roomte 7
1 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.
Or do you not know, brothers, (now I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law has dominion over a man only so long as he lives?
2 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.
For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is released from the law of her husband.
3 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.
Therefore, while her husband lives, if she has been with another man, she should be called an adulteress. But when her husband has died, she is freed from the law of her husband, such that, if she has been with another man, she is not an adulteress.
4 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.
And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
5 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.
For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were under the law, operated within our bodies, so as to bear fruit unto death.
6 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.
But now we have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by the letter.
7 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.
What should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.”
8 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.
But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
9 Ngah teeteewah uh ehak di Hootthe muh ih tongtang; enoothong jengdang ah dong haano, rangdah ah dongthingta,
Now I lived for some time apart from the law. But when the commandment had arrived, sin was revived,
10 eno ngah ah tekmang ih dongjat tang. Eno marah jengdang ih ngah suh roidong kotjih angta rah ih, etek ah jatthuk tahang.
and I died. And the commandment, which was unto life, was itself found to be unto death for me.
11 Rangdah rah ih lampo ah choh ano, nyia jengdang jun ih mokwaan hangno tek haat tahang.
For sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, seduced me, and, through the law, sin killed me.
12 Erah ang abah, Hootthe nyi jengdang ah esa, kateng, nyia ese nep.
And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
13 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.
Then was what is good made into death for me? Let it not be so! But rather sin, in order that it might be known as sin by what is good, wrought death in me; so that sin, through the commandment, might become sinful beyond measure.
14 Seng ih jat ehi Hootthe ah moong achaang; enoothong ngah hansi mina, rangdah suh heh dah ang raangtaan ih sang tahang rah.
For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, having been sold under sin.
15 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.
For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do.
16 Ngah lareejih ah reekang no Hootthe ah epun ju angka ih thang hang.
So, when I do what I do not want to do, I am in agreement with the law, that the law is good.
17 Erah thoidi marah ngah ethih reelang erah ngah tareekang; nga sak ni tongte rangdah rah ih reethuk halang.
But I am then acting not according to the law, but according to the sin which lives within me.
18 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.
For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach.
19 Eseejih re suh ngah taat nooktang ah tareekang; erah nang ih bah marah ethih re suh lataat nooktang ah reelang.
For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
20 Ngah marah lareejih ah mok re ang bah; erah langla nga teewah tareekang nga sak ni tongla rangdah rah ih reethuk halang.
Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me.
21 Eno arah hootthe ah nga roidong di moh ruh ela: mabah ngah ih ese reeraang ah taatthun koleh ethih ah reejih ih hoonla.
And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me.
22 Nga chiiala ah Rangte Hootthe asuh rapne ih roonla.
For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man.
23 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.
But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body.
24 Ngah ah tumthan thungjoong theng ah! Arah puh asak ah ih tek lam nah siit hang adoh o ih jen panghang?
Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?
25 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.
The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
