Romans 13
1 Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God.
kila nafsi ibe na utii kwa bene madalaka ga kunani, mana utupu utawala ila uboi kwa Nnongo. Nasilikali yebile aibekite Nnongo.
2 He therefore that setteth himself against the authority resisteth what God hath ordained; and they a who resist will bring upon themselves judgment.
Nga jwa penga selekali hajwo apenga amri ya Nnongo; na balo babapinga balowa pokya ukumu juu ya be bene.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the government? Do that which is good, and thou wilt have praise from it;
sababu atawala si botisa kwa babapanga gananoga-lii, ila babatenda mabaya. je utamaniya kotoka selekali/ upange gagabile mazuri na walowa lumbilwa kwa goo.
4 for the ruler is God's servant to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is God's servant, an avenger to inflict wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Nembe kumtumikia Nnongo, wenga kwa ajili ya wema, Ila mana wapanga bila likosa kwa sababu mtumwa wa Nnongo, kunepa kisasi cha ukali kunani ya jule jwa panga mabaya.
5 It is necessary therefore to submit, not only because of the wrath, but also for your conscience' sake.
Nganyo ipalikwa utii, siyo tu kwa mwanja ukale, ila kai sabau ya dhamili.
6 For the same reason pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very business.
Aye nembe go lipa kodi. Na bembe utawala ni batumilwe na Nnongo, na bembe benda yendelya panga likowe lee.
7 Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.
Munepe kila mundu jwa mdai: kodi jwa takilwa kodi, ushuru jwa pala usuru, kumnyogopa jwa palikwa yopelwe, heshima jwa palikwa heshimilwa.
8 Owe no one anything but brotherly love; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the Law.
Kana mdaiwe kilebe sosote sa na mundu, ila mpendane bene ni bene. kuba ywembe ate kumpenda jirani yake atekamilisha seliya.
9 For these, “Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet,” and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Kwa kuwa wapanga kwa umalaya wabulagakwa wajibu kwa, watamaniya kwa, na mana kwi na amri tenye nembe, iyanga banike mumakowe ga, walowa kupenda jirani jwako wa mwene.
10 Love worketh no ill to one's neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.
Upendo umega kwa jirani wa mundu kwa nyoo, upendo ngai kamilishe seliya.
11 And this, since we know the time, that it is already high time for us to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we became believers.
sababu ya yee, mutangite muda, kwamba tayari muda wa buka mulugono, mana wokovu witu ubi karibu sana ya watu ngolu patwa ami mwanzo.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us then throw off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light.
Kilo kitiyendely a na mutwekati kwi karibu na tugabike pabwega atenda ga mulobendo, natuwale silaha ya papyeya.
13 Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife and envy;
tuyende bila kosea, kati mubweya, kene kwa masikukuu ga madhambi no lobya. Na kana tuyende kumalaya na tamaniya yaikotoka keleboyelwa, na kwileka pitina na bwingu.
14 but clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and think not about satisfying the lusts of the flesh.
Ila tuwa mwale Nngwana Yesu KIrisitu, na twileke nafsi kwa ajili ya yega, kwa tamaniya kwake.
