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.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka winj joma nigi teko mar loch, nimar onge loch mantie, makmana mano ma Nyasaye ema oketo. Joma ni e loch duto Nyasaye ema oketo.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Omiyo, ngʼama otamore winjo joma ni e loch, to otamore winjo gima Nyasaye ema oketo, kendo joma timo kamano biro yudo kum kuomgi giwegi.
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,
Nimar joma nigi loch ok ked gi joma timo maber makmana gi joma timo marach. Donge idwaro ni joma ni e loch kik miyi luoro? Kara tim gik mabeyo eka ginipaki.
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.
Nimar en jatich Nyasaye moketo mondo okonyi. To ka itimo marach, to bed abeda maluor nikech ok otingʼ ligangla kayiem! En jatich Nyasaye machulo kuor gi mirima kokumo ngʼama timo marach.
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
Kuom mano, owinjore mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato owinj jorit loch, ok mana nikech inyalo yudo kum kende, to bende nikech chunyi neno ni mano ber.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
Mano bende emomiyo uchulo osuru, nikech jorit loch gin jotich Nyasaye, kendo gichiwore ne tijno seche duto.
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.
Miuru ji duto gik makorgi monego umigi kaka: Joma onego chul osuru; chuluru osuru; joma juogo chuluru pesa jwok; joma onego uluor, miuru luor, kendo joma onego umi duongʼ, miuru duongʼ.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Kik ubed gi gowi mar ngʼato, makmana gowi mar hera, nimar ngʼama ohero wadgi osechopo Chik.
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."
Chikego wacho niya, “Kik iterri, kik ineki, kik ikwal, kik igomb gir wadu,” kod chike mamoko duto moriw e chik achiel mawacho niya, “Her wadu kaka iherori iwuon.”
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Hera ok tim gima rach ni wadgi. Kuom mano, hera ema ochopo chike duto.
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.
To timuru kamano ka uwinjo tiend gik matimore ndalogi. Sa osechopo mondo uchiew ua e nindo maru, nikech warruok marwa koro okayo machiegni moloyo chiengʼ mane wayie mokwongo.
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.
Otieno chiegni rumo kendo ru piny chiegni. Omiyo waweuru timbe mag mudho, to wamanreuru gi gige lweny mag ler.
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.
Wadaguru e ngima mobidhore kaka joma ni e ler mar odiechiengʼ, ka waweyo kit richo duto kaka, tugo e thum, mer, terruok, anjawo, dhawo kod nyiego.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Kar timo kamano, to rwakreuru gi Ruoth Yesu Kristo, kendo kik uchan e pachu kaka unyalo timo gik ma ringruok gombo.
