Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,
Nilo kuli n yaa cɔlni yikodanba, kelima yiko ki ye ke ki ñani U Tienu kani kaa. Yaa yikodanba n ye kuli, U Tienu n kaani ba.
2 so that he who is setting himself against the authority, has resisted against God’s ordinance; and those resisting will receive judgment to themselves.
Lani, yua n yie bi yikodanba yie U Tienu n sieni ke o bona n baa yaa suani maama, ke U Tienu mutuoli baa jiidi o po.
3 For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and do you wish to not be afraid of the authority? Be doing that which is good, and you will have praise from it,
kelima yikodanba ki ye ke ban yaa mabindi ŋanma ka, ama ti biidi. Da jie mani bi ka. I ya ŋanbidi, bi baa pagi i.
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good; and if you may do that which is evil, be fearing, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.
kelima U Tienu tuonsɔnba ye i po i. Ama i yaa tie biidi, yaa bani mani ke bi baa ŋmagi i tuba.
5 For this reason it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
Li yaa po i ke ti cɔldi bo baa tie yeni yanjagili i, ama mabiili ka.
6 for because of this you also pay tribute; for they are servants of God, on this very thing attending continually;
Li po, yaa paa mani i panpaani kelima bi yikodanba tie U Tienu tuonsɔnba i ki fiini bi tuona nni.
7 render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honor, the honor.
Paa mani yua kuli yin baa paagu yaala: paa mani o lonpo gaali o lonpo, i panpani daano mɔ o panpani, cɔlni mani yua dagidi yin cɔlni o, ki selini yua dagidi yin selini o.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
Daa pia mani nilo baa yaa panli li yaa ki tie ke yin yaa bua i lieba baba yaaka. Kelima yua bua o lielo tiendi yikodi n bua yaala kuli.
9 for, “You will not commit adultery, You will not murder, You will not steal, You will not bear false testimony, You will not covet”; and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: “You will love your neighbor as yourself”;
Yeni, a kan conmi, a kan kpaa nilo, a kan suu, ŋan daa bua a lielo bonla yeni yaali n sieni kuli taani ki tie bonyenla: «A baa bua a lielo nani a baa yeni.»
10 the love to the neighbor works no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fullness of law.
Mi buanma ki duolidi o baa, li po n ke mi buanma tie mala.
11 And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now our salvation [is] nearer than when we believed;
Lanwani, i bandi ke u yogu ba ke yin findi kelima ti fiema nagi ki cie yaa yogunu ke ti den gaa o.
12 the night advanced, and the day came near; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armor of the light;
U yɔgisiigu pendi o ke u ti siŋaagu mo nagi o, tin ŋaa mani li bonbonli nni tuona kuli ki taa mi yinma jakɔntiadi
13 as in daytime, let us walk properly; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy;
Yin yaa suani a papientuona nani lan buali ke tin yaa suani u yensiigu nni yeni. Tin ŋaa mani li jiedicianli yeni li dañucianli, a concona tuona yeni ti jɔngindi tuona, a kɔnkɔna yeni i nanga.
14 but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no forethought for the flesh—for desires.
Tugi mani ti yonmidaano Jesu Kirisiti ke wan tua i jakɔntiadi ke yin laa ki ji daa kpaani ke yin sɔni i yanma n kua yaa tuonbiidi nni kuli.
