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,
Kila mundu aukunde upalume utagwala gula, pabha gwakwa upalume gogowe ukabhikwa na a Nnungu, na ukulungwa gogowe upali gula ushibhikwa na a Nnungu.
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.
Kwa nneyo akuntauka kalongolele anatauka ya kupinga a Nnungu, numbe bhaatendanga nneyo shibhaukumulwanje.
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,
Pabha bhakwetenje ukulungwa bhakakwaajogoyanga bhatendanga ya mmbone, ikabhe bhatendanga itendi yangali ya mmbone. Bhai bhuli nnipinga nnaajogope bhakwete ukulungwa? Ntende ya mmbone, penepo shibhannumbilile.
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.
Pabha bhenebho ni bhatumishi bha a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya kuntendela mmwe ya mmbone. Ikabheje, ntendaga yangali ya mmbone, penepo shumwaajogope, pabha bhashikola mashili ga ukumula. Bhenebho bhanakwatumishila a Nnungu kwa kwaaukumulanga mboteko bhatendanga yangali ya mmbone.
5 For this reason it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
Kwa nneyo inapinjikwa kwaakundanga bhakwetenje ukulungwa gogowe, nngabha kwa ligongo lya jogopa ukumu ja mboteko, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo ya muntima.
6 for because of this you also pay tribute; for they are servants of God, on this very thing attending continually;
Kwa ligongo lyolyo nnalipanga koli, pabha bhanganyabho ni bhakamula liengo bha a Nnungu na mubhalonjeyanga nniengo lyolyo.
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.
Mumpanganje kila mundu malinga shiikupinjikwa. Nkamula koli, apegwe koli. Nkulonga upambi, apegwe upambi. Apinjikwa kuishimiwa, aishimiwe. Apinjikwa kukuywa, akuywe.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
Nnakolanje ligambo kuka mundu jojowe, ikabhe ligambo lya pinganape, pabha akumpinga nnjakwe anakamula shalia ja Musha.
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”;
Pabha yene amulii, “Unalabhelabhe eu Unabhulaje eu Unalokolile,” na amuli ina yowe, inamalila kwa kamula amuli jimo, “Gumpinje ntami nnjako malinga shukwiipinga gwamwene.”
10 the love to the neighbor works no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fullness of law.
Pabha gumpingaga ntami nnjako, ukantendela yangali ya mmbone. Bhai, kupingana ni kutimilila kwa shalia.
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;
Mmumanyanje kuti malanga ga jumuka gaishe, na nnaino malanga ga ntapulo gwetu gabhandishile kwa kaje, kupunda mobha gutwatandwibhe kulupalila.
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;
Shilo shikakabha mala, na mui unabhandishila, bhai tuileshe itendi ya nnubhindu, niwala ikomanilo ya nshilangaya.
13 as in daytime, let us walk properly; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy;
Malinga shiikupinjikwa tenda mui, tutame kwa tungamana, nngabha kwa doka, kolelwa, kwetela, labhalabha, mipwai na lupimililo.
14 but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no forethought for the flesh—for desires.
Ikabhe nnundananje na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu mbuti shiwalo shenunji, wala nnaganishiyanje ga ilokoli ya nshiilu ikumpinganga ntendanje yambi.
