Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.
Basa atahori musi rena neu atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ ra. Huu sira raꞌena hak no koasa fo parenda atahori. Te sira toꞌu koasa parendaꞌ naa, huu Lamatualaian mana fee neu se. Mana toꞌu koasa ia ra sia, huu Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu se ena.
2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.
Dadꞌi mete ma atahori labꞌan atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ taꞌo naa, naa onaꞌ ara labꞌan saa fo Lamatuaꞌ soꞌuꞌ a ena. Mete ma ara tao taꞌo naa, dei fo ara hambu huku-dokiꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ.
3 For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.
Mete ma hei tao ndoo-tetuꞌ, na afiꞌ mimitau neu atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ ra. Te mete ma hei tao deꞌulakaꞌ, malole lenaꞌ ama mimitau se! Dadꞌi minea aom fo tao ndoo-tetuꞌ, fo sudꞌi mimitau se fai. Ma mete ma hei tao taꞌo naa, na, dei fo ara koa nggi.
4 For he is God’s minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God’s minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.
Te atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ naa ra, Lamatuaꞌ tengga nala se fo mete-seꞌu nggi. Te mete ma hei tao sala-kiluꞌ mikindooꞌ a, malole lenaꞌ ama besa-bꞌesa leo! Huu nda hie-hieꞌ a sa ara raꞌena hak fo huku-doki. Sira ia ra, ona Lamatuaꞌ atahori dedꞌenun fo ara huku-doki atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Huu Lamatuaꞌ nda simbo dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ fo atahori taoꞌ ra sa; Ana namanasa se.
5 Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Naeni de hei musi rena neu atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ ra. Huu ama bubꞌuluꞌ sia rala mara mae, naa tebꞌe. Ma hei o bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Lamatuaꞌ namanasa mete ma hita nda tao ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
6 For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.
Onaꞌ naa boe, hei musi bae bea mana neneneꞌetuꞌ enaꞌ, huu atahori mana toꞌu parendaꞌ ra ralalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon.
7 Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour.
Dadꞌi hei musi bae basa e no matetuꞌ. Bae neu mana edꞌa bea ra, basa bea fo hei musi baeꞌ a. Fee hadꞌa-hormat neu basa atahori mana raꞌena hak simbo hadꞌa-hormat. Ma mete ma hambu atahori tao dꞌala maloleꞌ nakandooꞌ a na, soꞌu nara nara fo basa atahori bubꞌuluꞌ ara tao maloleꞌ.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.
Bae muꞌetuꞌ huta-buku mara, fo afi musodꞌa moꞌ a huta-bukuꞌ. Huu hita tae tahuta siaꞌ a dalaꞌ esaꞌ a, naeni susue-lalaiꞌ a. Mete ma hei sue atahori, na, hei tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalane nara ena.
9 For 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 comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Huu Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra rae, “Afiꞌ hohongge; afiꞌ misa atahori; afiꞌ miminaꞌo; afi hiiꞌ a hambu atahori sudꞌiꞌ a saan,” ma laen ra fai. Mete ma nau tao tungga basa Hohoro-lalaneꞌ ra, musi tao tungga Hohoro-lalaneꞌ esa ia, mana nae, “Ho musi sue atahori laen ra, onaꞌ ho sue aom boe.”
10 The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law.
Huu mete ma hita tatudꞌu susueꞌ neu atahori esa, na, hita nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ mbali e sa, to? Dadꞌi mete ma ata tatudꞌu susueꞌ takandooꞌ a, hita bisa tao tungga basa Hohoro-lalaneꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ.
11 And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Lamatualain nae mboꞌi nggita mia atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia deꞌulaka nara. Ma leleꞌ ia, eni fain fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori, deka lenaꞌ mia leleꞌ ata feꞌe na tamahere neu Yesus Kristus. Naeni de, ata musi tasodꞌa no susueꞌ, huu tahine dalaꞌ naa ena. Onaꞌ feꞌesaꞌan naa, hita feꞌe mana sungguꞌ ra. Te leleꞌ ia, losa fain ena fo ata musi fela leo!
12 The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.
Nda dooꞌ sa, te basa tetembaꞌ a ena, basa ma manggareloꞌ a losa boe. Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ, ata taloeꞌ mia deꞌulaka tara leo. Naa onaꞌ atahori mana rasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ rala no taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ, huu ara duꞌa rae nda hambu atahori rita se sa. Te aleꞌ ia, ata musi dadꞌi onaꞌ soldꞌadꞌu mana pake tee-tande netatis, fo tahehere tao dꞌala maloleꞌ ra, onaꞌ atahori mana rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a rala.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy:
Ata musi tasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ, fo basa atahori bisa rita nggita tao dꞌala maloleꞌ ra. Nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma hita akaꞌ feta-dꞌote ma tinu mafu. Nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma hita akaꞌ hohongge. Nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma hita akaꞌ tatofa-tauuꞌ dii-onaꞌ. Ma nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma hita akaꞌ horombala huu nda hii atahori maloleꞌ lena nggita sa.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.
Te malole lenaꞌ, hei mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌe neu hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus fo misifali baliꞌ rala mara fo dadꞌi onaꞌ E, fo Lamatuaꞌ haitua nemaꞌ a. Ma mete ma ho hiiꞌ a tao dꞌala nda ndoo-tetuꞌ ra sa, na, afiꞌ hela aom tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanaum mana tao leliꞌ a. Muꞌutataaꞌ aom!
