Romans 13
1 Let, every soul, unto protecting authorities be in subjection; for there is no authority save by God, and, they that are in being, have by God been arranged, —
Buli muntu awulirenga abafuzi, kubanga tewali buyinza butava eri Katonda, era n’abafuzi abaliwo Katonda ye yabalonda.
2 So that, he who rangeth himself against the authority, against the arrangement of God opposeth himself, and, they who oppose, shall unto themselves a sentence of judgment receive.
Noolwekyo abawakanya abafuzi, bawakanya buyinza bwa Katonda. Era baba bawakanya kiragiro kye, bwe batyo ne beereetako bokka omusango.
3 For, they who bear rule, are not a terror unto the good work but unto the evil. Wouldst thou not be afraid of the authority? That which is good, be thou doing, and thou shall have praise of the same;
Kubanga abafuzi baba tebalwanyisa bikolwa birungi naye ebibi. Oyagala obutakangibwa wa buyinza, kola bulungi osiimibwe,
4 For, God’s minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God’s minister, he is, —an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.
kubanga muweereza wa Katonda ku lw’obulungi bwo. Naye bw’onookolanga ekibi, osaanidde otye kubanga ekitala ky’alina si kya bwereere, kubanga muweereza wa Katonda awoolera eggwanga eri oyo akola ekibi.
5 Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, —not only because of the anger, but also because of the conscience;
Noolwekyo kibagwanira okuba abawulize, si lwa busungu bwokka, naye n’olw’okumanya nga kye kituufu.
6 For, because of this, are ye paying tribute also, —for, God’s ministers of state, they are, unto this very thing, giving constant attendance.
Era kyemuva muwa omusolo kubanga abakozi abo baweereza ba Katonda nga banyiikirira emirimu gyabwe.
7 Render unto all their dues, —unto whom tribute, tribute, unto whom tax, tax, unto whom fear, fear, unto whom honour, honour.
Abantu bonna basasulenga ebibabanjibwa; musasulenga emisolo eri abo be muteekwa okuwa omusolo, n’ow’empooza mumuwenga empooza; n’oyo ateekwa okutiibwa mumutyenga, n’oyo ateekwa okuweebwa ekitiibwa mumuwenga ekitiibwa.
8 Nothing to any, be owing—save to be loving one another; for, he that loveth his neighbour, hath given to, law, its fulfillment.
Temubeeranga na bbanja lyonna eri omuntu yenna, wabula okwagalananga; kubanga ayagala muntu munne ng’atuukiriza amateeka.
9 For, this—Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not commit murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not covet, and if there is any different commandment, in this word, is summed up, [namely]—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Kubanga amateeka gano nti, “Toyendanga, tottanga, tobbanga, teweegombanga,” n’etteeka eddala, ligattiddwa mu kino nti, “Yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.”
10 Love, unto one’s neighbour, worketh not ill; Law’s fullness, therefore, is, love.
Ayagala muliraanwa we tamukola bubi; noolwekyo okwagala kyekuva kutuukiriza amateeka.
11 And, this besides, —knowing the season—that it is an hour already for you out of sleep to be wakened; for, now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed:
Mumanye nga kino kye kiseera, era essaawa etuuse mugolokoke okuva mu tulo, kubanga kaakano obulokozi bwaffe buli kumpi okusinga ne we twakkiririza.
12 The night, is far spent and, the day, hath drawn near; let us, then, cast off the works of darkness, [and] let us put on the armour of light, —
Ekiro kiyise, obudde bunaatera okukya, noolwekyo tweyambulemu ebikolwa eby’ekizikiza, twambale ebyokulwanyisa eby’omusana.
13 As in daytime, becomingly let us walk: not in revellings and in drunken bouts, not in chamberings and in wanton deeds, not in strife and envy; —
Tutambulenga ng’ab’omu musana, so si mu binyumu ne mu kutamiira, ne mu bwenzi n’obukaba, ne mu kuyombagana n’obuggya,
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and, for the flesh, take not forethought to fulfil its covetings.
naye twambale Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo so tetuwanga mubiri bbanga kukola ng’okwegomba kwagwo bwe kuli.
