Rom 7
1 Sûngsuokngei, balam nin riet let sikin ki misîr rang hih riet thei nin tih. Balam han mi an ringsûng kâr mang kêng an chunga roi a nei ngâi ani.
Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
2 Dôngma hah a lômpa ringsûng kâr chu a lômpa balam han a khita, hannirese a lômpa a thi inchu a lômpa renga balamin a khit hah sûtin aom ngâi.
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3 A lômpa ringsûngin midang a nei inchu a inrê ania, a lômpa thi nûkin chu balamin a khit hah a jôk ania, midang nei khom senla inrê nikhâi mak.
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Ma angtak han ani, ku sûngsuokngei, Khrista takpum machangngei nin ni zoi sikin Balam tieng chu nin thi zoia, atûn chu thina renga kaithoia ompu ta nin ni zoi, Pathien chuonsina mangruo sa ei nina rangin.
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
5 Ei miriem nina muruo nuna ei lêng lâihan chu ei ngâituina saloi Balamin ânchoka han ei takpuma sin a thoa, thina amintung ngâi.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
6 Atûn chu mikhit ngâipu hah ei thisan zoia, balam renga mojôkin ei om zoi, balam inziek muruo papai ang niloiin Ratha balam tharin sin ei tho ani zoi hi.
But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Imo ei ti rang ni zoi, Balam ha nunsie mini? nitet mak! Aniatachu balam han mi min riet no rese chu nunsie hih riet no ning. Balam han “Mi ta ôi no roh” ti no rese chu, ôi hi ki riet loi rang ani.
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
8 Hi chongpêk hih chuminrêna mangin sietna han ôina tamtak amin om ngâi, Balam om no rese chu nunsie hih neinun thi ani.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Moton han chu balam boiin ke lêng ngâia, hannirese, chongpêk hah ahong oma, nunsie hah ahong hara,
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
10 kei chu ki thi zoia. Ringna ranga chongpêk hah kei rangin chu thina ahong ni zoi.
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 Asikchu sietna han chongpêk hah chuminrêna mangin mi huonga mi that zoi ani.
for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Balam chu ânthienga, chongpêk khom ânthienga, adika asa ani.
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 Nônchu, neinun sa han kata rangin thina amintung mini? nitet mak! nunsie hin ani, nunsie ani ti minlangna rangin neinun sa mangin kata rangin thina amintunga, chongpêk sik han nunsie hah saloina inchung uolin aminlang ani.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. 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 Balam chu rathatienga neinun ani ti ei riet, keima rêk chu athithei miriem papai nunsie suoka juor ki ni zoi.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Ki sintho hi rietthei mu-ung ko jôtlam tho ngâi loia, manêkin ko jôt loilam sin ngâi ki ni.
For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Ko tho nuom ngâiloi hah ko thôn chu, balam hah asa tia jôm nîng ki tih.
But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 Masikin, hi sinngei hih keima a thopu ni mu-unga, nunsie keima taka om han atho ngâi ani.
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Keima miriem nina hin neinun adik reng om mak ti ki riet adik tho nuomna nei ngâi khom inlang thothei ngâi mu-ung.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 Neinun asa ko tho nuom hah tho loiin, neinun saloi ko tho nuomloi hah ko tho ngâi.
For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
20 Ku nuom loi ko thôn chu a thopu hah keima ni khâi mu-unga, nunsie keima taka om han atho ngâi ani.
But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Masikin, hi balam hih sin atho tit ti ki riet thei zoi, neinun asa tho ku nuom ngâi nâka, neinun saloi ko tho nôk kelen ngâi.
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Ki miriem sûngrîlin chu Pathien Balam hah a râiminsân ngâia.
For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
23 Nikhomsenla, ka takpuma hin balam dang sin atho tit aom ti ki riet, ama han ku mulung sung balam hah adoia, nunsiena balam ka takpuma sin atho tit ngâi suok mi min chang chien ngâi.
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 I anga mi Lungkham omtak mo ki nina! hi thina mi tuong rang takpum renga hih tûn mo mi sanminjôk rang ani zoi?
What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Pathien vaiin kêng. Ei Pumapa Jisua Khrista jârin ei Pathien minpâkin om rese. Hanchu ku mulungrîl takin chu Pathien Balam sin ko tho ngâia, ki miriem nina rêkin chu sietna balam sin atho ngâi.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
