Jo-Rumi 13
1 Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka winj joma nigi teko mar loch, nimar onge loch mantie, makmana mano ma Nyasaye ema oketo. Joma ni e loch duto Nyasaye ema oketo.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of YHWH: the powers that be are ordained of YHWH.
2 Omiyo, ngʼama otamore winjo joma ni e loch, to otamore winjo gima Nyasaye ema oketo, kendo joma timo kamano biro yudo kum kuomgi giwegi.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of YHWH: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 Nimar joma nigi loch ok ked gi joma timo maber makmana gi joma timo marach. Donge idwaro ni joma ni e loch kik miyi luoro? Kara tim gik mabeyo eka ginipaki.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 Nimar en jatich Nyasaye moketo mondo okonyi. To ka itimo marach, to bed abeda maluor nikech ok otingʼ ligangla kayiem! En jatich Nyasaye machulo kuor gi mirima kokumo ngʼama timo marach.
For he is the minister of YHWH 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 the minister of YHWH, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Kuom mano, owinjore mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato owinj jorit loch, ok mana nikech inyalo yudo kum kende, to bende nikech chunyi neno ni mano ber.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 Mano bende emomiyo uchulo osuru, nikech jorit loch gin jotich Nyasaye, kendo gichiwore ne tijno seche duto.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are YHWH 's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Miuru ji duto gik makorgi monego umigi kaka: Joma onego chul osuru; chuluru osuru; joma juogo chuluru pesa jwok; joma onego uluor, miuru luor, kendo joma onego umi duongʼ, miuru duongʼ.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Kik ubed gi gowi mar ngʼato, makmana gowi mar hera, nimar ngʼama ohero wadgi osechopo Chik.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 Chikego wacho niya, “Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik igomb gir wadu,” kod chike mamoko duto moriw e chik achiel mawacho niya, “Her wadu kaka iherori iwuon.”
For this, 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 briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Hera ok tim gima rach ni wadgi. Kuom mano, hera ema ochopo chike duto.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 To timuru kamano ka uwinjo tiend gik matimore ndalogi. Sa osechopo mondo uchiew ua e nindo maru, nikech warruok marwa koro okayo machiegni moloyo chiengʼ mane wayie mokwongo.
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.
12 Otieno chiegni rumo kendo ru piny chiegni. Omiyo waweuru timbe mag mudho, to wamanreuru gi gige lweny mag ler.
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.
13 Wadaguru e ngima mobidhore kaka joma ni e ler mar odiechiengʼ, ka waweyo kit richo duto kaka, tugo e thum, mer, terruok, anjawo, dhawo kod nyiego.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 Kar timo kamano, to rwakreuru gi Ruoth Yesu Kristo, kendo kik uchan e pachu kaka unyalo timo gik ma ringruok gombo.
But put ye on the Master Yahushua the Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
