< Romans 13 >
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
Kila muntu kafiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima wa silikari, toziya silikari yoseri ilawiti kwa Mlungu na ukolamlima utulwa na Mlungu.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Yoseri yakalema ukolamlima wa isi, kalema lilagaliru lyakalagaliriti Mlungu na muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu hakalijegeri mweni utoza.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
Wakolamlima wa isi watilwa ndiri na wantu walii yawatenda gaherepa, kumbiti watilwa na wantu woseri yawatenda ukondola. Hashi, gufira guweri ndiri na lyoga kulongolu kwa wakolamlima? Su gwenga gutendi gaherepa na womberi hawakuzyumi,
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
toziya womberi wawera wantumintumi wa Mlungu yawatenda lihengu kwa mota ya mwenga. Kumbiti pagutenda ukondola, su gufiruwa kuwatira toziya womberi wawera na makakala ga kukutoza. Womberi ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu, womberi yawawera na azabu ya Mlungu kwa woseri yawatenda ukondola.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
Toziya ayi mwenga mfiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima, hera ndiri kwa kutila azabu ya Mlungu, kumbiti viraa toziya muvimana mumyoyu yamwenga ndo iherepa.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga mlipaga kodi, toziya wakolamlima wankumtendera Mlungu pawatimiza mahengu gawu.
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
Mumpanani kila muntu shakafiruwa kupata, wantu yawatola kodi, muwalipi kodi na yawatola ushuru muwalipi ushuru, wantu woseri yawafiruwa ligoya, wapananwi ligoya.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Namuwera na uwanda kwa muntu yoseri, kumbiti uwanda wa kulifira maweni. Muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu kalijimira Lilagaliru.
9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
Malagaliru ndo aga, “Nagutenda uhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, naguwera na lumatamata kwa shintu sha muntu gwingi.” Goseri aga na gamonga gawera mulilagaliru limu, “Gumfiri muyagu ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Handa paguwafira wamonga, gwenga hapeni guwatenderi ukondola, su mafiliru ndo ukamilika wa Lilagaliru lyoseri.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
Mfiruwa mtendi aga, toziya muvimana kuwera shipindi shiza sha gwenga kwimuka mumpota. Ulopoziya wa twenga wapakwegera vinu kuliku patwanjiti kujimira.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
Pashiru papakwegera kupera na paliwala wapakwegera. Su twenga tuleki kutenda vitwatira vyaviwera vya luwindu na tutoli silaha za ulangala.
13 Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
Twenga tufiruwa tulikali ntambu yayifiruwa na unakaka mu kila shintu shatutenda. Namuwera na lwaliya ama ulowera ama undiyandiya ama ndewu ama weya.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Kumbiti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu hakawalongoziyi mwenga, na namulihola kuusu njira za kutenda lumatamata lwa vidoda.
