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

¹Are ye ignorant, brethren — for to those knowing law I speak — that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

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.

²for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

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.

³so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man`s; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man`s.

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.

⁴So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another`s, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

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

⁵for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

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.

⁶and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

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."

⁷What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

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

⁸`Thou shalt not covet;` and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness — for apart from law sin is dead.

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.

⁹And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

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

¹⁰and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;

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

¹¹for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];

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

¹²so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

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.

¹³That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

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

¹⁴for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

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

¹⁵for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

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

¹⁶And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,

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

¹⁷and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

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

¹⁸for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

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

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

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

²⁰And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

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

²¹I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

²²Ke voliv o zakono le Devlesko ande murho ilo.

²²for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

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.

²³and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.

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

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

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.

²⁵I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
