¹Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?

¹Murhe phral, zhanen vunzhe so si te motav tumenge ke zhanen o zakono. O zakono si les putiera pek manush zhi ka traiil.

²For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:

²Ke iek zhuvli kai si ansurime, phangli la katar o zakono peske rhomesa zhi kai godi traiil lako rhom; numa te merela lako rhom skepime la anda zakono kai phandelas la lesa.

³so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.

³Numa te kerdiola e rhomni avre manusheski, ai lako rhom inker zhuvindo lo, kodo bushol kurvimos; numa te merela lako rhom, skepime la katar o zakono, ai sai kerdiol e rhomni avre manusheski bi te avel kurvia.

⁴So that, my brethren, *ye* also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

⁴Sakadia tumenge, murhe phral. Tume san mule le zakonoske kai san andek than chidine ka stato le Kristosko; ai te aven avresko, tume san akana kodoleske kai sas zhuvindime mashkar le mule, saxke te keras lashe dieli le Devleske.

⁵For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which [were] by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;

⁵Chaches kana traiisarasas pala amaro stato, le chorhe dieli, kai o zakono rimolas, kerdionas ande sa amaro stato, ai angerenas ame kai martia.

⁶but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

⁶Numa akana skepime sam katar o zakono, ke muliam kal dieli kai ankerenas ame phangle; akana sai keras buchi le Devleski aver fielo tela putiera le Swuntone Duxoski, ai na mai sar mai anglal telai puiera le zakonoske kai sas ramome.

⁷What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;

⁷Apo so mothas? Ke o zakono bezex si? Nichi, Vov si! Numa o zakono kerdia ma te zhanav so si o bezex. Ke nas te zhanav ke nai mishto te mangav so si avres, te na phendino mange o zakono, "Te na mangav so si avres."

⁸but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.

⁸O bezex dabai astardia te kerel ande mande katar o zakono, but dieli chorhe kai keren ma te mangav so si avres.

⁹But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.

⁹ke bi le zakonosko o bezex nulo lo. Mai anglal bi le zakonosko traiivas; numa kana avilo o zakono, o bezex zhuvindisailo, ai me mulem.

¹⁰And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:

¹⁰O zakono, kai trobulas te ingerel ka traio, ingerdia man kai martia.

¹¹for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].

¹¹Ke o bezex dabai astardia, kerdia te shubiv ma le zakonosa, ai kerdia te merav.

¹²So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

¹²O zakono Swunto lo, ai vorta, ai lasho.

¹³Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

¹³Apo so si lasho kerdilo antunchi martia mange? Nichi, Vov si! Pala bezex si, o baio ke si kadia, kadia vorta sar si o bezex. Lia o lashimos te mudarel ma, ai kadia o bezex kerdilo pala zakono defial nasulimos.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹⁴Zhanas ke o zakono katar O Del si; Numa me sim stato, bichindo le bezexeske.

¹⁵For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

¹⁵Ke chi zhanav so kerav; chi kerav so mangav, ai kerav so chi mangav.

¹⁶But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.

¹⁶Kana kerav so chi mangav, ai haliarav kadia ke o zakono lasho lo.

¹⁷Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

¹⁷Ai akana chi sim me kai kerav kodia, numa o bezex kai si ande mande.

¹⁸For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.

¹⁸Zhanav ke so si lasho nai ande mande, nai ande murho stato. Me mangav, numa nai ma e putiera te kerav o mishtimos.

¹⁹For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

¹⁹Ke chi kerav o mishtimos kai mangav, numa kerav o nasulimos kai chi mangav.

²⁰But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

²⁰Ai te kerava so chi mangav te kerav, chi sim me kai kerav, kodo si o bezex kai si ande mande.

²¹I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.

²¹No arakhav ande mande kado zakono, kana mangav te kerav o mishtimos, o nasulimos astardiol mandar.

²²For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:

²²Ke voliv o zakono le Devlesko ande murho ilo.

²³but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.

²³Numa dikhav ande murho stato aver zakono, kai marelpe kodole zakonosa kai murhi goji aliarel ke mishto. Kerel te astardiuav ka zakono le bezexesko kai si ande murho stato.

²⁴O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?

²⁴Che chinuime manush sim! Kon skepila ma anda kado stato kai ingerel ma kai martia?

²⁵I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

²⁵O naisimos te avel le Devleske katar O Jesus Kristo amaro Del! Kadia sai kerav buchi le zakonoski kai si le Devlesko murha gojasa, numa murho stato kerel buchi le zakonoske, o zakono le bezexesko.
