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.
Kila muntu kafiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima wa silikari, toziya silikari yoseri ilawiti kwa Mlungu na ukolamlima utulwa na Mlungu.
2 Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Yoseri yakalema ukolamlima wa isi, kalema lilagaliru lyakalagaliriti Mlungu na muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu hakalijegeri mweni utoza.
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.
Wakolamlima wa isi watilwa ndiri na wantu walii yawatenda gaherepa, kumbiti watilwa na wantu woseri yawatenda ukondola. Hashi, gufira guweri ndiri na lyoga kulongolu kwa wakolamlima? Su gwenga gutendi gaherepa na womberi hawakuzyumi,
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.
toziya womberi wawera wantumintumi wa Mlungu yawatenda lihengu kwa mota ya mwenga. Kumbiti pagutenda ukondola, su gufiruwa kuwatira toziya womberi wawera na makakala ga kukutoza. Womberi ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu, womberi yawawera na azabu ya Mlungu kwa woseri yawatenda ukondola.
5 Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
Toziya ayi mwenga mfiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima, hera ndiri kwa kutila azabu ya Mlungu, kumbiti viraa toziya muvimana mumyoyu yamwenga ndo iherepa.
6 This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga mlipaga kodi, toziya wakolamlima wankumtendera Mlungu pawatimiza mahengu gawu.
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.
Mumpanani kila muntu shakafiruwa kupata, wantu yawatola kodi, muwalipi kodi na yawatola ushuru muwalipi ushuru, wantu woseri yawafiruwa ligoya, wapananwi ligoya.
8 Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Namuwera na uwanda kwa muntu yoseri, kumbiti uwanda wa kulifira maweni. Muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu kalijimira Lilagaliru.
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.”
Malagaliru ndo aga, “Nagutenda uhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, naguwera na lumatamata kwa shintu sha muntu gwingi.” Goseri aga na gamonga gawera mulilagaliru limu, “Gumfiri muyagu ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
10 Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Handa paguwafira wamonga, gwenga hapeni guwatenderi ukondola, su mafiliru ndo ukamilika wa Lilagaliru lyoseri.
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.
Mfiruwa mtendi aga, toziya muvimana kuwera shipindi shiza sha gwenga kwimuka mumpota. Ulopoziya wa twenga wapakwegera vinu kuliku patwanjiti kujimira.
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.
Pashiru papakwegera kupera na paliwala wapakwegera. Su twenga tuleki kutenda vitwatira vyaviwera vya luwindu na tutoli silaha za ulangala.
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.
Twenga tufiruwa tulikali ntambu yayifiruwa na unakaka mu kila shintu shatutenda. Namuwera na lwaliya ama ulowera ama undiyandiya ama ndewu ama weya.
14 Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
Kumbiti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu hakawalongoziyi mwenga, na namulihola kuusu njira za kutenda lumatamata lwa vidoda.
