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 to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,
2 Jwakukanilana ni ŵakwete ulamusi, akugakana malajisyo ga Akunnungu, ni ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo akuliichisya kulamulikwa nsyene.
so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive 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 those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt 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 of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is 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.
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
6 Kwa ligongo li, ŵanyamwe nkupeleka nsongo, pakuŵa ŵakulongosya wo ali achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu pakuŵa pakupanganya masengo go akuntumichila Akunnungu.
for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
7 Mwape ŵandu wose indu iyaŵajile, jwakupochela nsongo mwape nsongo ni jwakupochela ushulu mwape ushulu ni luchimbichimbi kwa jwakuŵajilwa kuchimbichikwa.
render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.
8 Nkakola ligambo kwa mundu jwalijose, ikaŵe kunonyelana. Pakuŵa jwakunnonyela njakwe amalisisye Malajisyo ga che Musa.
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled,
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 do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
10 Jwakunnonyela njakwe ngaakombola kumpanganyichisya yangalumbana. Nipele, unonyelo uli utindimisyo wa Malajisyo gose.
the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of 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 this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our salvation than when we did believe;
12 Chilo chiŵandichile kumala ni muusi uŵandichile. Nipele tuleche ipanganyo ya muchipi ni kuwala yakumenyanilana ya lilanguka.
the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour 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.
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
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 for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.
