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.
Bhuli moyo gwolobhelega ku bhutunge bhwa ingulu, kulwo kubha bhutalio bhutunge atali bhusokele ku Nyamuanga. No bhutunge bhunu bhulio bhuteyweo na Nyamuanga.
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.
Kulwejo unu kalema obhutunge obhwo kalema echilagilo cha Nyamuanga; Na bhaliya bhanu abhachilema abhalamila indamu ingulu yebhwe abhene.
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;
Kwo kubha abhatungi bhatali na makanyo kubhanu abhakola agekisi, nawe kwabho abha kola ebhibhibhi. Angu owenda okuligila okusiga okubhaya obhutunge? kola ganu gali gakisi, nokukusibhwa nago.
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.
kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga kwawe ku songa yo bhwekisi nawe ukakola kubhibhi nuubhae Kwo kubha atakuyeka epanga bila nsonga. Kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga, unu kasubhya jisingu kwalisungu ingulu ya ulia unu kakola ebhibhibhi.
5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
kulwejo jikwiile wolobhe, atali ati kwalisungu -ela nawe one kwa insonga yemitima.
6 For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.
Kwa insonga inu one omulia likondi. okubha abho ni bhatunge bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, abho abhagendelela okukula lisango linu.
7 Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.
Mumuliye bhuli umwi echinu abhabhatonga: Likodi mubhayanega abha likondi; abha mwisoko mubhayanega omuolo; Obhubha bhunu bhwiile okubhaywa; Echibhalo bhanu bheile Echibhalo.
8 Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Mwasiga kutongibhwa na munu wona wona, atali okwendana emwe abhene kwa abhene. Kulwo kubha mwenene unu kamwenda omwikashanya wae akumisishe ebhilagilo.
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.
Kulwo kubha, “otakulomela, utakwita, utakwibha, utakuligila,” Na alabha chilio echilagilo echindi one chongesibhwe mu mulugobho lwe misango jinu: “Umwendega omwikashanya wao lwa kutyo awe uli.”
10 Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.
Okwenda kutakomukolela chibhibhi omwikashanya wo munu. Kwibhyo, okwenda ni kukumisha kwe bhilagilo.
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.
Kulwa insonga ya linu, omumenya omwanya, ati bhwangu woli nikusoka mu ntilo. kulwo kubha omwelulo gweswe gweliye bhwangu lwo mwanya gulia gunu chekilisishe okwamba.
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.
Ingeta yangendelela, mumwisi yeliye ayei. Mbe chitule kumbali ebhikolwa bhye chisute, na chifwale ebhigwato bhyo bhwelu.
13 As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.
Chilibhatega lwa kutyo kuchiile, lwa mu bhwelu, atali lwo lumula lwe bhibhibhi amwi obhutamiji. Na chisigega okulibhatila mu bhumaya amwi mu namba inu itakutula kugonywa, na atali mu bhusoko amwi mwifuwa.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
Mbe nawe chimufwale Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, na chisige okutayo emoyo jeswe ingulu ye emibhili, na mu namba jae.
