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 iganikiwa kuvayidikila vachilongosi va mulima vevana uhotola muni kawaka mundu mweihotola kulongosa ngati Chapanga amvikili lepi alongosayi.
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.
Mundu yula mweibela ulongosi, mwenuyo ibela malagizu ga Chapanga, na mweikita chenicho akujiletela uhamula mwene.
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,
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 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.
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 For this reason it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
Ndi wiganikiwa kuvatopesa vanauhotola, lepi ndava ya kuyogopa kuhamuliwa na Chapanga nambu ndava ya mtima waku wimanya chewigana kuhenga.
6 for because of this you also pay tribute; for they are servants of God, on this very thing attending continually;
Ndava yeniyo nyenye mwilipa kodi, muni vevitalalila avo vakumuhengela Chapanga ndava ya mahengu gavi.
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.
Mumpela kila mundu cheiganikiwa kupewa, ngati udayiwa kodi, mumpela kodi, ngati udayiwa ushulu, mumpela ushulu, mweiganikiwa kuyogopwa ndi ayogopewayi mweiganikiwa kutopeswa mumtopesa.
8 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—he has fulfilled law,
Mkoto kuvya na lideni kwa mundu yoyoha, nambu lideni kuganana ndu. Muni mundu mweakumgana muyaki akugalanda malagizu ga Musa.
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”;
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 the love to the neighbor works no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fullness of law.
Ukamganayi muyaki uhotola lepi kumkitila uhakau. Hinu uganu ndi kwenuko ndi kutimila kwa Malagizu goha.
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;
Mkita naha, ndava muni lukumbi lwinu lwa kuyumuka mu lugono luhikili, usangula witu luhegelili papipi neju kuliku patatumbwili kusadika.
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;
Hinu kilu yipitili na muhi luhegelela. Ndi tileka kukita mahakau ga chitita na titola vindu vya kukomanila ngondo vya lumuli.
13 as in daytime, let us walk properly; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy;
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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and take no forethought for the flesh—for desires.
Mkitayi vandu vamlolayi BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu avi muwumi winu, na mleka kuzihololela mnogo uhaku wemuvelikiwi nawu na kuzilanda.
