Romans 13

1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.

Hinghaih tawnh kami boih mah akaa tawn ukkung ih lok to tahngai o nasoe. Sithaw mah paek ai ah loe sakthaihaih om ai: sakthaihaih akaa tawn kaminawk loe Sithaw mah paek ih ni.

2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

To pongah mi kawbaktih doeh sakthaihaih tawn kaminawk ih lokaek kami loe, Sithaw khokhanhaih aek kami ah oh, lokaek kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih hnu o tih.

3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

Kahoih hmuen sah kami mah loe ukkungnawk to zit han om ai, toe kasae hmuen sah kaminawk hanah loe zit thoh. Ukkungnawk zii ai ah oh han na koeh o maw? Kahoih hmuen to sah ah, to tih nahaeloe nihcae pakoehhaih to na hnu tih.

4 for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

Kahoih hmuen sak hanah, anih loe nangcae khaeah Sithaw toksah kami ah oh. Toe kahoih ai hmuen na sak nahaeloe, zii ah; anih loe sumsen to azom ah angnaengh ai: anih loe kahoih ai hmuen sah kami nuiah palungphui hoiah lokcaek, lu lakung Sithaw toksah kami ah oh.

5 Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

To pongah palungphuihaih zit khue ai ah, kasae kahoih panoekhaih hoiah doeh ukkung tlim ah na kun han oh.

6 For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing.

Hae tiah oh pongah tamut doeh na paek o han oh: nihcae loe Sithaw toksah kami ah oh o baktih toengah, boeng ai ah tok to a sak o poe.

7 Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

To pongah kami boih mah paek han koi kaom hmuen to paek oh: tamut paek han koi kami khaeah tamut to paek oh; hmuen tho paek han koi kami khaeah atho to paek oh; zit han koi kami to zii oh; pakoeh koi kami to pakoeh oh.

8 Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

Maeto hoi maeto amlung oh, laiba tawn o hmah: minawk kalah palung kami loe kaalok to koepsak boeh.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Kaalok pongah, Na zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah hmah, Kami hum hmah, Paqu hmah, Amsawn hnukung ah om hmah, Ut hmah, tiah oh; kalah kaalok to om vop nahaeloe, to kaaloknawk loe, Na imtaeng kami to na takpum baktih toengah palung ah, tiah thuih ih hae kaalok thungah akun boih boeh.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

Amlunghaih mah imtaeng kami amrosak ai: to pongah amlunghaih loe kaalok akoephaih ah oh.

11 And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed.

Aicae pahlonghaih loe, aicae mah tanghaih a tawnh o tangsuek nathuem ih pongah doeh, vaihiah anghnaih kue: vaihi loe iih angthawkhaih atue boeh ni, atue to panoek oh.

12 The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Aqum boeng tom boeh moe, khodai tom boeh: to pongah khoving toksakhaih to va o si loe, aanghaih maiphaw maica to angkhuk o si boeh.

13 Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

Poih sakhaih, mu paquihaih, taksa koehhaih, zae sak koehhaih, angaekhaih, uthaihnawk to ayae moe, khodai thungah a oh o baktih toengah, toenghaih hoiah caeh o si.

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].

Angraeng Jesu Kri to angkhuk oh, taksa koehhaih akoepsak hanah, taksa khaeah angpaek o hmah.
