Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Warep ih deek akaan nawa ngoong awang tiit ah ekap jaatjaat etheng, tumeah Rangte jengkhaap mudoh bah o ngoong awang uh tatongka, eno amah dowa ngoong awang loong ah uh Rangte ih dongthiin arah.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
O ih bah uh amah dowa ngoong awang loong tiit ah daanha, erah ih Rangte jeng daanha; eno erah daante rah ih heh teeteewah ah dande thuk suh jamha.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
Ese ih reete loong abah ngoong awang loong ra choojih tajeeka, enoothong ethih reete loong ba cho ah. Sen ngoong awang ra lacho thang ih tong suh enook tam elan? Erah ang abah, ese marah ah erah moh an, eno ba neng ih egu et han,
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
tumeah neng uh Rangte laksuh sen ese raang ih mola. Enoothong sen ethih re anbah, sen neng ra echoojih, tumeah neng ih chamnaang thuktheng chaan ah amiisak ih jeela. Ngoong awang loong ah Rangte laksuh eno ethih reete loong asuh Rangte ih chamnaang thuk ah.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Erah raangtaan ih sen ih ngoong awang jeng ah ekap etheng—Rangte ih chamnaang thuk asuh laklak lah angthang ih, sen thung nawa ih nep jatjih.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Sokse ah uh erah thoidi kohan, tumeah maatok di ngoong awang loong ah neng mootkaat morumla erah Rangte raangtaan ih mola.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Erah raang ih sokse mathan kotjih ah ekot et an; sen ngiija nyam acham sokse anep koh anno neng asuh sen ih choomwu nyia soomtu et anrah noisok an.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
O doh uh thaangthemjih naktoom je ah—sen chamchi nah esiit esiit ih minchan mui thaangthemjih aba jeela. O bah uh emah ih reela loong ah ih Hootthe ah kap ha.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Jengdang ah arah loong ah, “Mih minuh damdoh nak roomjup theng; mih nak tek haat theng; hot nak hutheng; mih hukkhaak suh nak mongmat theng,” erah dam ih jaat hoh tiit loong anep jengdang esiit ni roopla, “Khuung atok ah senteewah thanthan ih minchan an.”
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Sen ih mihoh asuh minchan et an bah; neng raang ih babah uh tathet reekan ang an; erah thoih, minchan mui ajuuba, Hootthe loongtang kap hi ah.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
Sen erah loong ah ereejih jaatjaat, tumeah sen ih jat ehan jup nawa saat suh rangkuh saapoot ah thok ih hala. Jaakhoh ni seng ih kah hanpiiti tok dowa nang ih amadi seng khopui saapoot ah haniik ih thok hala.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
Rangphe ah ethoon nanah ela rangwuung ah ejen thok ih hala. Erah raangtaan ih rangnak mootkaat ah etoohaat etheng, eno rangwuung nawa lang apah ah kap ih no rangwuung nah mui theng.
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
Rangwuung ni tongte loong phaakla likhiik, seng teewah ah pakna reeraang thaak ih—ethih nyi khomok khaampaang lah angtheng, raandi baaji lare theng, miksuk nyi changrook laje thang eah.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Erah nang ih bah Teesu Jisu Kristo lang apah ah kap anno, rangdah tenthun nyia dang ajang loong ah toohaat etheng.
