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,
Musiye zumwi ni zumwi akuteke ba yendisi bamazimo makando, kakuti kakwina buyendisi kwanda ha buzwa kwa Ireeza. Imi buyendisi bwina kwateni buba ketiwa kwa Ireeza.
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.
Kuzwaho iye yokana ubo bunyendisi u lwisanisa intaelo ya Ireeza; imi abo babulwisa kaba wane inkatulo he wulu lyabo bene.
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,
Kakuti bayendisi kaba balwisi batenda zishieme, kono kuzitendantu zibi. Kana mulakaza kusatiya iye yo wina ha buyendisi? Pange chi shieme, imi kotambule ku zumininwa kwali.
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.
Kakuti iye muhikana wa Ireeza kwako cha kushiama. Kono haiba upanga zibilala, utiye; kakuti iye kahindi mukwale nikusena ibaka. Kakuti iye muhikana wa Ireeza, mubozekezi wo bukali kozo yo panga bubi.
5 For this reason it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
Kuzwaho uswanela ku kuteka, isiñi bulyo che ibaka lya bukali, kono hape che ibaka lye zwalo.
6 for because of this you also pay tribute; for they are servants of God, on this very thing attending continually;
Ibaka lye chi muliha mutelo nao. Bayendisi ba hikana ba Ireeza, yo tekeleza kwezi zintu cho ku wondelela.
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.
Mulife ku zumwi ni zumwi chi kolotwa kubali: mutelo kozo mutelo ku uswanela; chikoloti kozo kuchi kolotwa; kutiya kozo yo tiza; itompo kozo u swanela itompo.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
Kanji mukoloti zumwi chimwi, kwanda o kusaka zumwi ni zumwi. Kakuti uzo yo saka mwakwe naye wizuziliza intaelo.
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”;
Milao: “Kanji u pangi busangu, kanji wi hayi, kanji wibi, kanji ulakazi,” imi haiba kwina imwi intaelo nayo, ukungenywe mowu mubamba: “Sake mwako sina molisakila.”
10 the love to the neighbor works no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fullness of law.
Ilato kali holofazi mwako; kuzwaho, ilato li zuziliza mulawo.
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;
Chebaka lyezi, mwizi inako, kakuti cheli inako yenu kuti mubuke kuzwa kuku lala. Lyahanu kuhazwa kwetu chikwina hafuhi kuhita hatutanga kuzumina.
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;
Masiku chi azwila habusu, imi izuba chilya chuta hafui. Twende linu tubike hembali mitendo ye fifi, imi twende tuzwate zizwato ze seli.
13 as in daytime, let us walk properly; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy;
Twende tuyende cha kuboneka, sina musihali, isiñi cha kusanga kweinu inkanda kamba kukolwa ahulu; imi kanji tuyendi mu mitendo ya busangu kamba mwi intakazo zisawoleki kusiwa, imi isiñi mwi inkani kamba cho muna.
14 but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no forethought for the flesh—for desires.
Kono muzwate Simwine Jesu Kirisite, imi kanji muhi chibaka kwi nyama, kwi zuzilikiza intakazo yayo.
