Romans 13
1 Let euery soule be subiect vnto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordeined of God.
Muleke myuuya yoonse ilibombye kubweendelezi bulajulu, nkaambo bwendelezi buliwo bwakatondekwa aLeza.
2 Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues condemnation.
Aboobo oyo upapila bweendelezi ukkazya mulawu waLeza, alimwi abo bawupapila bayotambula lubeta beni.
3 For Magistrates are not to be feared for good workes, but for euill. Wilt thou then bee without feare of the power? doe well: so shalt thou haue praise of the same.
Kaambo beendelezi tabensi kuyoosya kumilimu mibotu, asi kumilimu mibi. Mulayanda kutaba abuyofu kuloyo ulimubweendelezi? Chita bubotu alimwi ulatambula bulumbu bwakwe.
4 For he is ye minister of God for thy wealth, but if thou do euill, feare: for he beareth not the sworde for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth euill.
Kaambo mubelesi waLeza kulindinywe kububotu. Asi kuti wachita bubi, yoowa; kaambo tabwezi panga chabuyo. Nkaambo mubelesi waLeza, nguukwichizya bukali kulaabo bataluleme.
5 Wherefore ye must bee subiect, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake.
Aboobo weelede kulibombya, kutali kuti kubukali, asi kaambo manjezezya.
6 For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are Gods ministers, applying themselues for the same thing.
Kaambo kazezi mulabbadala mutelo kaambo beendelezi mbabelesi baLeza, mbembabo balanga ezi zintu zyoonse.
7 Giue to all men therefore their duetie: tribute, to whome yee owe tribute: custome, to whom custome: feare, to whome feare: honour, to whom ye owe honour.
Pa muntu woonse eezyo zimweelede: mutelo kulooyo weelede mutelo, bulumbu kulooyo weelede bulumbu, kuyowa kulooyo uuyowegwa, bulemu kulooyo uulemekeka.
8 Owe nothing to any man, but to loue one another: for he that loueth another, hath fulfilled the Lawe.
Mutabi achikwelete kumuntu, kunze kwakuyandana umwi kumwenzinyina, kaambo ooyo uuyanda ngwayakilene aawe uzuzikizya mulawu.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Thou shalt not couet: and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, euen in this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
Malayilile, “Utachiti mamambe, utajayi, utabbi, utabi ebbivwe,” alimwi kuti kakuli uumbi mulawu uliswanizizigwe muliwooyu, “Yanda ngoyakilene aawe mbuli nduwe.”
10 Loue doeth not euill to his neighbour: therefore is loue the fulfilling of the Lawe.
Luyando taluchiti bubi kuli ngoyakilene aawe. Aboobo, luyando luzuzikizya mulawu.
11 And that, considering the season, that it is now time that we should arise from sleepe: for now is our saluation neerer, then when we beleeued it.
Kaambo kacheechi, mulizi chiindi, kuti chaba chiindi chakusinsimuka kuzwa mun'onzi. Kaambo lufutuko lwesu lwabaafwifwi kwiinda nkatusanguna kufutuka.
12 The night is past, and the day is at hande, let vs therefore cast away the workes of darkenesse, and let vs put on the armour of light,
Busiku bwiinka, alimwi buzuba bwabaafwifwi. Atubike kumbali milimu yamudima, alimwi atuzwaate zilwanyo zyamumuni.
13 So that wee walke honestly, as in the day: not in gluttonie, and drunkennesse, neither in chambering and wantonnes, nor in strife and enuying.
Atweende mbukweelede, mbuli sikati, pe pe mukupobweda kukkolwa kana bukolwi; alimwi tuteendi mubwaamu na muzisusi zibi, alimwi kutali munkondo na mubuzuba.
14 But put yee on the Lord JESUS CHRIST, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it.
Asi amuzwaate Mwaami Jesu Kkilisito, alimwi mutapi mweenya kunyama, kutazuzikizya zisusi zyayo.
