Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of 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 that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.
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 princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.
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 God’s minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God’s minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth 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 Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for 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 therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.
Sokse ah uh erah thoidi kohan, tumeah maatok di ngoong awang loong ah neng mootkaat morumla erah Rangte raangtaan ih mola.
7 Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour.
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 man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath 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 Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
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 The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling 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 And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we 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 passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour 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 us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy:
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 ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.
Erah nang ih bah Teesu Jisu Kristo lang apah ah kap anno, rangdah tenthun nyia dang ajang loong ah toohaat etheng.
