Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.
Kila mundu iganikiwa kuvayidikila vachilongosi va mulima vevana uhotola muni kawaka mundu mweihotola kulongosa ngati Chapanga amvikili lepi alongosayi.
2 So the one resisting the authority, antagonizes the ordinance of God: and those antagonizing shall receive to themselves judgment.
Mundu yula mweibela ulongosi, mwenuyo ibela malagizu ga Chapanga, na mweikita chenicho akujiletela uhamula mwene.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:
Muni, vevitalalila viyogopwa lepi na vandu vevikita gabwina, nambu viyogopwa na vandu vala vevikita gahakau. Na veve wiganikiwa lepi kumuyogopa mweakulongosa. Kita gabwina na mwene yati akulumbalila,
4 for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.
muni mwene akumuhengela Chapanga ndava yinu muni mpata gabwina. Nambu ngati ukita gahakau, ndi penapo umuyogopa, muni ana uhotola wa kuhamuliwa. Mwene ilangisa ligoga la Chapanga kwa vala vevikita uhakau.
5 Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
Ndi wiganikiwa kuvatopesa vanauhotola, lepi ndava ya kuyogopa kuhamuliwa na Chapanga nambu ndava ya mtima waku wimanya chewigana kuhenga.
6 For on account of this also pay tribute; for they are the ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
Ndava yeniyo nyenye mwilipa kodi, muni vevitalalila avo vakumuhengela Chapanga ndava ya mahengu gavi.
7 Give to all their dues: custom to whom custom is due; tribute to whom tribute is due; fear to whom fear is due; honor to whom honor is due.
Mumpela kila mundu cheiganikiwa kupewa, ngati udayiwa kodi, mumpela kodi, ngati udayiwa ushulu, mumpela ushulu, mweiganikiwa kuyogopwa ndi ayogopewayi mweiganikiwa kutopeswa mumtopesa.
8 Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.
Mkoto kuvya na lideni kwa mundu yoyoha, nambu lideni kuganana ndu. Muni mundu mweakumgana muyaki akugalanda malagizu ga Musa.
9 For, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself with divine love.
Muni mihilu yene ndi yeniyi, “Kotoka kukita ugoni, koto kukoma, koto kuyiva koto kunogela vindu vya vandu,” Na zingi zoha zivii mu malagizu lenili limonga, “Umganayi muyaku ngati cheukujigana wamwene.”
10 Divine love works no evil to its neighbor: for divine love is the fulfilling of the law.
Ukamganayi muyaki uhotola lepi kumkitila uhakau. Hinu uganu ndi kwenuko ndi kutimila kwa Malagizu goha.
11 And recognizing this time, that it is already the hour we should wake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Mkita naha, ndava muni lukumbi lwinu lwa kuyumuka mu lugono luhikili, usangula witu luhegelili papipi neju kuliku patatumbwili kusadika.
12 For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light.
Hinu kilu yipitili na muhi luhegelela. Ndi tileka kukita mahakau ga chitita na titola vindu vya kukomanila ngondo vya lumuli.
13 Let us walk circumspectly, as in the day; not with revelries and drunkenness, not with debaucheries and impurities, not in strife and envy:
Titama bwina ngati vandu vevitama lukumbi lwa muhi. Tileka mselebuko weuvi na matendu gahakau, na kugala na ukemi na uhakau na ngondo na wihu.
14 but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.
Mkitayi vandu vamlolayi BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu avi muwumi winu, na mleka kuzihololela mnogo uhaku wemuvelikiwi nawu na kuzilanda.
