¹Or don’t you know, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for 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 woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged 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 if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined 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.

⁴Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth 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 sinful passions which were through the law, worked 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 have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the 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? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21

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, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

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

⁹I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and 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.

¹⁰The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;

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

¹¹for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

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

¹²Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

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

¹³Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin 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 I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

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

¹⁶But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

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

¹⁷So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which 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, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

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

¹⁹For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

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

²⁰But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which 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, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

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

²²For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

²²Ke voliv o zakono le Devlesko ande murho ilo.

²³but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is 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.

²⁴What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this 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 with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, the 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.
