< 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, —
Kila muntu kafiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima wa silikari, toziya silikari yoseri ilawiti kwa Mlungu na ukolamlima utulwa na Mlungu.
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.
Yoseri yakalema ukolamlima wa isi, kalema lilagaliru lyakalagaliriti Mlungu na muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu hakalijegeri mweni utoza.
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;
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, 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.
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 Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, —not only because of the anger, but also because of the conscience;
Toziya ayi mwenga mfiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima, hera ndiri kwa kutila azabu ya Mlungu, kumbiti viraa toziya muvimana mumyoyu yamwenga ndo iherepa.
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.
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga mlipaga kodi, toziya wakolamlima wankumtendera Mlungu pawatimiza mahengu gawu.
7 Render unto all their dues, —unto whom tribute, tribute, unto whom tax, tax, unto whom fear, fear, unto whom honour, honour.
Mumpanani kila muntu shakafiruwa kupata, wantu yawatola kodi, muwalipi kodi na yawatola ushuru muwalipi ushuru, wantu woseri yawafiruwa ligoya, wapananwi ligoya.
8 Nothing to any, be owing—save to be loving one another; for, he that loveth his neighbour, hath given to, law, its fulfillment.
Namuwera na uwanda kwa muntu yoseri, kumbiti uwanda wa kulifira maweni. Muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu kalijimira Lilagaliru.
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.
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, unto one’s neighbour, worketh not ill; Law’s fullness, therefore, is, love.
Handa paguwafira wamonga, gwenga hapeni guwatenderi ukondola, su mafiliru ndo ukamilika wa Lilagaliru lyoseri.
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:
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 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, —
Pashiru papakwegera kupera na paliwala wapakwegera. Su twenga tuleki kutenda vitwatira vyaviwera vya luwindu na tutoli silaha za ulangala.
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; —
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 ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and, for the flesh, take not forethought to fulfil its covetings.
Kumbiti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu hakawalongoziyi mwenga, na namulihola kuusu njira za kutenda lumatamata lwa vidoda.
