Ŵaloma 13
1 Kila mundu ŵajitichisye ŵaali ni ulamusi ŵa pachilambo, pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kulongosya iŵaga nganaŵichikwa ni Akunnungu kuti alongosye, Akunnungu jika pe ni ŵakwapa ŵandu machili ga kulongosya.
Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.
2 Jwakukanilana ni ŵakwete ulamusi, akugakana malajisyo ga Akunnungu, ni ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo akuliichisya kulamulikwa nsyene.
So the one resisting the authority, antagonizes the ordinance of God: and those antagonizing shall receive to themselves judgment.
3 Pakuŵa ŵakutawala ngakogopeka ni ŵandu ŵakwitendekanya yambone, nambo akogopeka ni ŵandu ŵakwitendekanya yangalumbana. Ana ngankusaka kunjogopa jwali ni ulamusi? Ntendeje yaili yambone nombejo chanlape,
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:
4 pakuŵa jwelejo ali katumetume jwa Akunnungu jwakupanganya masengo kwa kupoka kwenu. Nambo iŵaga nkuitenda yangalumbana munjogope, pakuŵa isyene akwete ulamusi wa kunnagasya. Jwelejo ali jwakwatumichila Akunnungu, akulosya lutumbilo lwa Akunnungu ŵandu ŵakwitendekanya yangalumbana.
for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.
5 Kwa ligongo lyo ikuŵajilwa kwajitichisya ŵakwete ulamusi, ngaŵa kwa ligongo lya kogopa kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu, nambo kwa ligongo lya nningwa wenu nkumanyilila chinkusachilwa kuchitenda.
Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
6 Kwa ligongo li, ŵanyamwe nkupeleka nsongo, pakuŵa ŵakulongosya wo ali achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu pakuŵa pakupanganya masengo go akuntumichila Akunnungu.
For on account of this also pay tribute; for they are the ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
7 Mwape ŵandu wose indu iyaŵajile, jwakupochela nsongo mwape nsongo ni jwakupochela ushulu mwape ushulu ni luchimbichimbi kwa jwakuŵajilwa kuchimbichikwa.
Give to all their dues: custom to whom custom is due; tribute to whom tribute is due; fear to whom fear is due; honor to whom honor is due.
8 Nkakola ligambo kwa mundu jwalijose, ikaŵe kunonyelana. Pakuŵa jwakunnonyela njakwe amalisisye Malajisyo ga che Musa.
Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.
9 Pakuŵa malajisyo gakuti, “Kasintenda chikululu, ni kasimmulaga ni kasinjiŵa ni kasinnajila,” ni malajisyo ga ni malajisyo gane gose gataŵikwe mu lilajisyo limo lyalikuti, “Munnonyele njenu mpela inkuti pakulinonyela mwasyene.”
For, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself with divine love.
10 Jwakunnonyela njakwe ngaakombola kumpanganyichisya yangalumbana. Nipele, unonyelo uli utindimisyo wa Malajisyo gose.
Divine love works no evil to its neighbor: for divine love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Ntende yele, nchimanyililaga katema, yakuti ndaŵi ja kwimuka mu lugono jiiche, pakuŵa sambano ukulupusyo wetu uli pachiŵandi ni uweji kupunda iyaliji patwatandite kukulupilila.
And recognizing this time, that it is already the hour we should wake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
12 Chilo chiŵandichile kumala ni muusi uŵandichile. Nipele tuleche ipanganyo ya muchipi ni kuwala yakumenyanilana ya lilanguka.
For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light.
13 Tujende yambone nti ŵandu ŵatukutama muusi. Tuleche chindimba chachili ni ipanganyo yangalumbana, kukolelwa ni chigwagwa ni usakwa ni umenyani ni wiu.
Let us walk circumspectly, as in the day; not with revelries and drunkenness, not with debaucheries and impurities, not in strife and envy:
14 Mwatende ŵandu ammone Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito mu utame wenu, kasinganisya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo ni kusikuya.
but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.
