Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.
Ko ko ghan du ka tu ghji ni be chu nitu be ichu mba dji ni Irji ituron wa a he ziza a dji ni Irji.
2 So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
Ziza yi be wa bana hu ikpe wa ituron u Irji a hla na be wa mba kaba mba kpa ide u meme ti mba.
3 For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
Mbe chu mbana kpe u ti sissri na, ni idi be ti dedena u mba he ni tu idi be ti meme ti yi u na son ti sissri be chu na? Ti kpe wa a he dedema, u be gbirasa.
4 for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.
Wawu a hi ivre ko Irji u dedema. U tana ti kpi wa hi memema u kati sisiri i be turon wawu ana ba ta wa ana he ni tu ikona. A hi vre ko Irji ni tu dedema. U mbe ta ti kpi wa a memema. mbe ka ti sisiri, wa wu na taba ban ta mege na wa wu a hi ivrenko Irji ani tifu ni idi u ti memeti.
5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
Gbigbi be ka hi be hu ana he ni tu ifu na. U a he nitu isonrome.
6 For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.
Nitu ki, ki han gadu, nitu ki ma be kpa gadu mba hi igra Irji, be wa mba tina ki chachu'a.
7 Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.
Be ka no ko ghanide ma, gadu ni be gadu, kudi fito ga tito, klusisiri ni be wa mba'a klusisiri'a, no nikon ni be wa mba mla kpaniko'a.
8 Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Na ji kpiri u idi na, u be ka son kpabi. Wawu wa a son vayi ma a kle toron wawu kina.
9 For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
U, “Be kana yi zina na, be kana wu idi na, be kana yibbi na, be kana ti guna, u doka iri ni ta he gari. Be ka ban u chudu ni wayi.” Son vayi me na wa u son tuma a.”
10 Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.
Ison ana mynien vayi me na a ha naki kauna ta cika shari'a.
11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that we should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Ni tu naki be ka toh ndi iton a kleyye u be ka lude ni kruna'a. Nitu kpachuwo bu'a a he hwehwere. Ana gburukon nawa khi si ya na.
12 The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ichuu a kleye u ible a ti hwehwere u kpaye be ka du ki ka idu u bu'a don; de sur u ikpi u kpama.
13 As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.
Ki mla zren naki si zren ni Rji, na ahei ni mi ti fa na, na bi hwa na. Kina zren ni mi ti gwugwu ni meme sha'awa, kakima mi wa nyu, hwu.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
Naki bi ban Bachi Yesu sur ni Almasihu, bika nati meme halin u kpa na, don meme sha'awa sa.
