1Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
1ܐܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܝܕܥܝ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܀
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:
2ܐܝܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܒܥܠܗ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܬܚܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܒܥܠܗ ܀
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.
3ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܝ ܒܥܠܗ ܬܩܦ ܠܓܒܪ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܬܚܪܪܬ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܓܝܪܬܐ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܀
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.
4ܘܗܫܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܬܬܠܘܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
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;
5ܟܕ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܐܒܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܬܚܦܛܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܕܡܝܢ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܀
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.
6ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܒܛܠܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܡܝܬܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܕܢܫܡܫ ܡܟܝܠ ܒܚܕܬܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܬܝܩܘܬ ܟܬܒܐ ܀
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;
7ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܠܦܬ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܓܬܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܬܪܓ ܀
8but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.
8ܘܒܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܗ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܘܓܡܪܬ ܒܝ ܟܠ ܪܓܐ ܒܠܥܕ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܀
9But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.
9ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܝ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܚܝܬ ܘܐܢܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܀
10And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:
10ܘܐܫܬܟܚ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܀
11for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
11ܚܛܝܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܗ ܒܝܕ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܛܥܝܬܢܝ ܘܒܗ ܩܛܠܬܢܝ ܀
12So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
12ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܕܝܢ ܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܘܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܘܟܐܝܢ ܘܛܒ ܀
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.
13ܛܒܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܬ ܚܤ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܬܬܚܙܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܒܛܒܬܐ ܓܡܪܬ ܒܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܬܚܝܒ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܀
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.
14ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܪܘܚ ܗܘ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܤܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܙܒܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܀
15For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
15ܡܕܡ ܕܤܥܪ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܀
16But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.
16ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܀
17Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
17ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܤܥܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ ܀
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.
18ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ ܗܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܐܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܛܒܬܐ ܦܫܝܩ ܠܝ ܕܐܤܥܪܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܀
19For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
19ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܛܒܬܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܀
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.
20ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܝ ܀
21I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.
21ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܫܠܡ ܠܪܥܝܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܝܫܬܐ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ ܀
22For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:
22ܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܠܓܘ ܀
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.
23ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܗܕܡܝ ܕܡܩܪܒ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܪܥܝܢܝ ܘܫܒܐ ܠܝ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܕܡܝ ܀
24O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?
24ܕܘܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܀
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.
25ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܫܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܥܝܢܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܒܤܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܀
