Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Khyang naküt naw jah upki khawngmanga pyen cun ngai kawm, isetiakyaküng Pamhnam naw ana a jah peta phäha khawngmange cun vekie. Pamhnama jah mcawna kyakie ni.
2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Acunakyase, u pi, khawngmang am kcangnaki cun Pamhnama mcawn ksekha nakia kyase; amäta khana ngthumkhyahnak yah khai.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
Akdaw pawhki naw jah upkie cun jah kyüh vai am ni. Lüpi akse pawhkie naw ami jah kyüh vai ni. Am na jah kyüh vai na tängki aw? Akdaw na pawh ta ning mküiei khaie;
4 For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
isetiakyaküng amimi cun Pamhnama mpyaea kya lü nanga phäh akdaw pawh khaie ni. Cunsepi, akse na pawh üng jah kyüh a, amimia mkhuimkhanak khawha ana cun akcang ni, isetiakyaküng jah mkhuimkha khaie ni. Akse pawhkie khana Pamhnama mkhuimkhanak cun biloki Pamhnama mpyaea kyakie ni.
5 Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama mkhuimkhanak na kyüh däka phäh am kya lü namäta ksingeinaka phäha ana takie mtheha vea.
6 For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Acunakyase ni, ngcawn pi na ngcawng ta; isetiakyaküng jah upkie cun naw ami mta ami bi hin Pamhnama phäh khüikie ni.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Na pet vai mta cun jah pe a. Namäta phäh ja na khawhthema phäh ngcawng cun pe lü jah leisawng kawmki.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Mata veia pi käh lei mah lü mat ja mat nami mhläkphyanaka thea ta i käh lei na ua. Ahin pawhki naw ta Thum kcangnaki ni.
9 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, (logos) namely, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
Thum naw, “Khyanga khyu, khyanga cei käh na bäühmanak vai; khyang käh na hnim vai; käh na mpyuk vai; khyanga ka käh na hlükawei vai” a ti. Ahin avan ja akce ngthupet naküt cun, “Namät na mhläkphyanaka kba na impei loceng na mhläkphyanak vai” tia ngthupet mat üng kümkawi päihkie.
10 Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
Khyang kce na mhläkphyanak üng amimi khana akse am pawhki, mhläkphyanak na tak cun Thum avan na kcangnak ni.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Nami ihnak üngkhyüh nami thüxak vai akcün pha lawkia kyase hin hin pawh ua. Isetiakyaküng küikyannak hin akcüka mi jumeia kcüna kthaka ng’et law bawki ni.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Mthan päih law hlü hnüh lü, khaw thai law hlü ve; acunakyase, nghmüp üng mi bilawhe mi jah hawih u lü, akvaia üng ngtuknaka likcime mi jah kawtei vai u.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Mhnüpa vekie khyangea kba akdawa mi ve vai u. Eiawknak, ju mpyüinak, aksea ngneisak, ngtunngvawknak, hüipawmnak ja ng’eiknak üng käh mi ve vai u.
14 But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa likcim cun kawtei u lü nami mtisaa ngjakhlüa mkhyekatnak cän käh pawh ua.
