Romans 13
1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
Nilo kuli n yaa cɔlni yikodanba, kelima yiko ki ye ke ki ñani U Tienu kani kaa. Yaa yikodanba n ye kuli, U Tienu n kaani ba.
2 Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Lani, yua n yie bi yikodanba yie U Tienu n sieni ke o bona n baa yaa suani maama, ke U Tienu mutuoli baa jiidi o po.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.
kelima yikodanba ki ye ke ban yaa mabindi ŋanma ka, ama ti biidi. Da jie mani bi ka. I ya ŋanbidi, bi baa pagi i.
4 For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
kelima U Tienu tuonsɔnba ye i po i. Ama i yaa tie biidi, yaa bani mani ke bi baa ŋmagi i tuba.
5 Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
Li yaa po i ke ti cɔldi bo baa tie yeni yanjagili i, ama mabiili ka.
6 This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
Li po, yaa paa mani i panpaani kelima bi yikodanba tie U Tienu tuonsɔnba i ki fiini bi tuona nni.
7 Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
Paa mani yua kuli yin baa paagu yaala: paa mani o lonpo gaali o lonpo, i panpani daano mɔ o panpani, cɔlni mani yua dagidi yin cɔlni o, ki selini yua dagidi yin selini o.
8 Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Daa pia mani nilo baa yaa panli li yaa ki tie ke yin yaa bua i lieba baba yaaka. Kelima yua bua o lielo tiendi yikodi n bua yaala kuli.
9 The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Yeni, a kan conmi, a kan kpaa nilo, a kan suu, ŋan daa bua a lielo bonla yeni yaali n sieni kuli taani ki tie bonyenla: «A baa bua a lielo nani a baa yeni.»
10 Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Mi buanma ki duolidi o baa, li po n ke mi buanma tie mala.
11 And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Lanwani, i bandi ke u yogu ba ke yin findi kelima ti fiema nagi ki cie yaa yogunu ke ti den gaa o.
12 The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
U yɔgisiigu pendi o ke u ti siŋaagu mo nagi o, tin ŋaa mani li bonbonli nni tuona kuli ki taa mi yinma jakɔntiadi
13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
Yin yaa suani a papientuona nani lan buali ke tin yaa suani u yensiigu nni yeni. Tin ŋaa mani li jiedicianli yeni li dañucianli, a concona tuona yeni ti jɔngindi tuona, a kɔnkɔna yeni i nanga.
14 Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
Tugi mani ti yonmidaano Jesu Kirisiti ke wan tua i jakɔntiadi ke yin laa ki ji daa kpaani ke yin sɔni i yanma n kua yaa tuonbiidi nni kuli.
