1Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
1Ahihleh, unaute aw, danin mi a dam sung teng a tungah vai a hawm nak chih na theikei ua hia? – dan thei mite kiangah ka gen ahi.
2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
2Numei, pasal nei a pasal a dam sung teng dana a pasala henkhawmin a om ahi; himahleh, a sihin, pasal lamah dan akipan khahin a om ahi.
3So then if, while her husband liveth, 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.
3Hichiin, a pasal dam sunga mi dang a kitenpih leh, Angkawm, chih ahi ding hi; a pasal a sihin bel huai dan akipan khahin a oma, huchiin, mi dang nei leh leng angkawm ahi kei hi.
4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
4Huan, ka unaute aw, Pathian lama i gah theihna dingin midang, misi laka kipan kaihthoh ngeingei na kitenpih theihna ding un, Kris pumpi pansanin dan lamah hihsihin na omta uhi.
5For 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.
5Sa a i om lai un dan jiaka khelhna utna hongsuakten, i sa hiangte ah, sihna khopa gah dingin, a sem naka.
6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
6Tuin bel honlenpa lakah sikhinin, dan akipan khahin i omta, laigelh lui bang lel hi loua, Khaa hinna thaka na i sep theihna dingin.
7What 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, Thou shalt not covet.
7Bang i genta dia leh? Dan khelhna hia? Hi lou hial. Himahleh, dan jiaka theih hi keileh, khelhna theilou ding hi ing a; danin, eng ken, chi kei leh, eng chih theilou ding hi inga.
8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
8Himahleh, khelhnain, thupiak jiakin, lemtan lai muin enna chiteng ka sungah a om saka.
9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
9Dan lou injaw khelhna si ahi. Huan, tumalamin kei dan louin ka hinga; himahleh thupiak a hongom takin khelhna a honghalh a, kei ka sita hi.
10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
10Huan, hinna thuchiam nei thupiak tuh keidin sihna a honghi chih ka na theita.
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
11Khelhnain thupiak jiakin, lemtan lai muin honkhema, thupiak zangin a honhihlumta hi.
12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
12Huchiin, dan tuh a siangthou ahi, thupiak leng a siangthou a, adika, a hoih ahi.
13Was 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.
13Ahihleh, thil hoih keia din sihna a honghi ahia? Hilou hial. Khelhna kei sin sihna a honghi zo ta ahi. Huchiin, khelhna tuh khelhna ahi chih a lat theihna dingin thil hoih zangin a honhihlum ahi; thupiak jiaka khelhna tuh khelhna thupitak a honghih theihna dingin.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
14Dan tuh khalam thil ahi chih i thei ngal ua, kei bel sami khelhna a khotsa ka hi.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
15Thil ka hihpen, a dan ka theikei; ka thil hih jelpen, ka thihih utlam ahi ngal keia, ka thil huatlam tak ka hih zo nak ahi.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
16Ka hih ut louh lam ka hih ngalin, dan a hoih chih pompih ka hi ta hi.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
17Huaichiangin, ka thilhihpen keimah hih a hita keia, khelhna keimaha om hih ahi jaw hi.
18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
18Keimah ah, huai tuh ka sa ah, thil hoih himhim a teng kei chih ka thei: thil hoih hih utna jaw keimah ah a om na a, thil hoih ka hihthei kei.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
19Hoihna hih ka ut pen ka hih keia, khelhna hih ka ut louhpen, ka hih zo naka.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
20Ka utlouh lam pen ka hih ngal chiangin, a hihpa tuh kei ka hita keia, khelhna keimaha ompen ahi jaw hi.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
21Huchiin, hiai dan ka hontheita; thil hoih hih ka ut laiin gitlouhna ka kiangah a hongom nak ahi.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
22Ka lungsim taktakin Pathian dan tungah ka kipak ngal naka;
23But 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.
23Himahleh, ka sa hiangte ah dan tuam a om chih ka thei, huaiin ka lungsim dan a dou a, ka sa hiangtea khelhna dan om kiangah salin a honpi nak hi.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
24Mi genthei hina lawmlawm ing e! Hiai sihna pumpi lakah kuan ahia honsuakta sak ding?Jesu Kris i Toupa jiakin Pathian kiangah kipahthu ka gen ahi. Huchiin, keimah takin jaw ka lungsimin Pathian dan ka sema, ka sain tuh gitlouhna dan a sem hi.
25I 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.
25Jesu Kris i Toupa jiakin Pathian kiangah kipahthu ka gen ahi. Huchiin, keimah takin jaw ka lungsimin Pathian dan ka sema, ka sain tuh gitlouhna dan a sem hi.
