โรมิณ: 13
1 ยุษฺมากมฺ เอไกกชน: ศาสนปทสฺย นิคฺโหฺน ภวตุ ยโต ยานิ ศาสนปทานิ สนฺติ ตานิ สรฺวฺวาณีศฺวเรณ สฺถาปิตานิ; อีศฺวรํ วินา ปทสฺถาปนํ น ภวติฯ
Hlýddu yfirvöldunum, því að öll yfirvöld hafa fengið hlutverk sitt frá Guði.
2 อิติ เหโต: ศาสนปทสฺย ยตฺ ปฺราติกูลฺยํ ตทฺ อีศฺวรียนิรูปณสฺย ปฺราติกูลฺยเมว; อปรํ เย ปฺราติกูลฺยมฺ อาจรนฺติ เต เสฺวษำ สมุจิตํ ทณฺฑํ สฺวยเมว ฆฏยนฺเตฯ
Þeir sem neita að hlýða landslögum, neita þar með að hlýða Guði og eiga hegningu yfir höfði sér.
3 ศาสฺตา สทาจาริณำ ภยปฺรโท นหิ ทุราจาริณาเมว ภยปฺรโท ภวติ; ตฺวํ กึ ตสฺมานฺ นิรฺภโย ภวิตุมฺ อิจฺฉสิ? ตรฺหิ สตฺกรฺมฺมาจร, ตสฺมาทฺ ยโศ ลปฺสฺยเส,
Hinir löghlýðnu þurfa ekki að hræðast dómstólana en þeir sem illt aðhafast bera stöðugt ótta til þeirra. Viljir þú losna við óttann, hlýddu þá landslögum og þér mun farnast vel.
4 ยตสฺตว สทาจรณาย ส อีศฺวรสฺย ภฺฤโตฺย'สฺติฯ กินฺตุ ยทิ กุกรฺมฺมาจรสิ ตรฺหิ ตฺวํ ศงฺกสฺว ยต: ส นิรรฺถกํ ขงฺคํ น ธารยติ; กุกรฺมฺมาจาริณํ สมุจิตํ ทณฺฑยิตุมฺ ส อีศฺวรสฺย ทณฺฑทภฺฤตฺย เอวฯ
Guð hefur sett dómsvaldið þér til hjálpar, en ef þú gerir það sem rangt er, þá hefur þú sannarlega ástæðu til að óttast, því þá vofir refsingin yfir þér. Nú skilur þú hvers vegna Guð stofnaði dómsvaldið.
5 อเตอว เกวลทณฺฑภยานฺนหิ กินฺตุ สทสทฺโพธาทปิ ตสฺย วเศฺยน ภวิตวฺยํฯ
Það eru tvær ástæður fyrir því að þú átt að hlýða lögunum: í fyrsta lagi til þess að komast hjá refsingu og í öðru lagi til að gera skyldu þína.
6 เอตสฺมาทฺ ยุษฺมากํ ราชกรทานมปฺยุจิตํ ยสฺมาทฺ เย กรํ คฺฤหฺลนฺติ ต อีศฺวรสฺย กิงฺกรา ภูตฺวา สตตมฺ เอตสฺมินฺ กรฺมฺมณิ นิวิษฺฏาสฺติษฺฐนฺติฯ
Af þessum sömu ástæðum ber þér einnig að greiða skatta. Yfirvöldin þarfnast skatta til að geta unnið það verk sem Guð fól þeim og þar með þjónað þér.
7 อสฺมาตฺ กรคฺราหิเณ กรํ ทตฺต, ตถา ศุลฺกคฺราหิเณ ศุลฺกํ ทตฺต, อปรํ ยสฺมาทฺ เภตวฺยํ ตสฺมาทฺ พิภีต, ยศฺจ สมาทรณียสฺตํ สมาทฺริยธฺวมฺ; อิตฺถํ ยสฺย ยตฺ ปฺราปฺยํ ตตฺ ตไสฺม ทตฺตฯ
Gjaldið það sem ykkur er skylt: Þeim skatt sem skattur ber, þeim hlýðni sem hlýðni ber og þeim heiður sem heiður ber.
8 ยุษฺมากํ ปรสฺปรํ เปฺรม วินา 'นฺยตฺ กิมปิ เทยมฺ ฤณํ น ภวตุ, ยโต ย: ปรสฺมินฺ เปฺรม กโรติ เตน วฺยวสฺถา สิธฺยติฯ
Skuldið engum neitt, nema það eitt að elska hver annan og látið ekki dragast að greiða afborganir af þeirri skuld! Með því að elska aðra, þá hlýðir þú öllum lögum Guðs og uppfyllir kröfur hans.
9 วสฺตุต: ปรทารานฺ มา คจฺฉ, นรหตฺยำ มา การฺษี: , ไจรฺยฺยํ มา การฺษี: , มิถฺยาสากฺษฺยํ มา เทหิ, โลภํ มา การฺษี: , เอตา: สรฺวฺวา อาชฺญา เอตาโภฺย ภินฺนา ยา กาจิทฺ อาชฺญาสฺติ สาปิ สฺวสมีปวาสินิ สฺววตฺ เปฺรม กุรฺวฺวิตฺยเนน วจเนน เวทิตาฯ
Elskir þú meðbróður þinn jafn mikið og sjálfan þig, þá forðastu að valda honum tjóni eða svíkja hann, ógna lífi hans eða stela frá honum. Þá munt þú ekki heldur vilja syndga með konunni hans né öfunda hann af eignum hans eða gera neitt annað sem boðorðin tíu segja að sé rangt. Öll boðorðin tíu felast í þessu eina: Elskaðu meðbróður þinn eins og sjálfan þig.
10 ยต: เปฺรม สมีปวาสิโน'ศุภํ น ชนยติ ตสฺมาตฺ เปฺรมฺนา สรฺวฺวา วฺยวสฺถา ปาลฺยเตฯ
Sá sem elskar meðbróður sinn, mun aldrei gera honum mein og þess vegna uppfyllir hann líka allar kröfur Guðs, sem eru í raun ekki annað en útlistanir á hinu æðsta boðorði – kærleikanum.
11 ปฺรตฺยยีภวนกาเล'สฺมากํ ปริตฺราณสฺย สามีปฺยาทฺ อิทานีํ ตสฺย สามีปฺยมฺ อวฺยวหิตํ; อต: สมยํ วิวิจฺยาสฺมาภิ: สามฺปฺรตมฺ อวศฺยเมว นิทฺราโต ชาครฺตฺตวฺยํฯ
Önnur ástæða þess að við eigum að lifa heiðvirðu lífi er sú, að við vitum að tíminn er orðinn naumur. Vaknaðu! Endurkoma Drottins er nú nær en þegar við tókum trú.
12 พหุตรา ยามินี คตา ปฺรภาตํ สนฺนิธึ ปฺราปฺตํ ตสฺมาตฺ ตามสียา: กฺริยา: ปริตฺยชฺยาสฺมาภิ รฺวาสรียา สชฺชา ปริธาตวฺยาฯ
Liðið er á nóttina og brátt mun birta af endurkomudegi hans. Leggið því niður hin illu verk myrkursins og takið vopnin sem ljósinu tilheyra, því að það er skylda okkar sem lifum í ljósi Krists. Látið allt sem þið gerið bera vott um sanngirni ykkar og manngæsku, svo að öllum líki líferni ykkar vel. Sóið ekki tíma ykkar við siðlaus samkvæmi og drykkjuskap, ekki heldur við kynsvall og fýsn, rifrildi eða öfund.
13 อโต เหโต รฺวยํ ทิวา วิหิตํ สทาจรณมฺ อาจริษฺยาม: ฯ รงฺครโส มตฺตตฺวํ ลมฺปฏตฺวํ กามุกตฺวํ วิวาท อีรฺษฺยา ไจตานิ ปริตฺยกฺษฺยาม: ฯ
14 ยูยํ ปฺรภุยีศุขฺรีษฺฏรูปํ ปริจฺฉทํ ปริธทฺธฺวํ สุขาภิลาษปูรณาย ศารีริกาจรณํ มาจรตฯ
Biðjið heldur Drottin Jesú Krist að hjálpa ykkur til að lifa sómasamlegu lífi og gælið ekki við lægri hvatir ykkar, því að þá gæti girndin náð yfirhöndinni og leitt ykkur í synd.
