Romans 13
1 Every [believer] must be subject to the authorities. [Remember that] God is the only one [who gives officials their] authority. Furthermore, those officials that exist are ones who have been appointed by God {God has appointed}.
১প্ৰত্যেক ব্যক্তিয়ে শাসনকৰ্তা সকলৰ বশীভূত হওক; কিয়নো ঈশ্বৰৰ পৰা নাহিলে, কোনোৱে কতৃত্ব নাপায়; আৰু যি যি আছে, সেইবোৰ ঈশ্বৰৰ দ্বাৰাই নিৰূপিত।
2 So whoever resists the officials is resisting what God has established. Furthermore, those who resist officials will bring on themselves [from the officials] the punishment [that God considers fitting].
২এতেকে যি জনে সেই ক্ষমতাৰ প্ৰতিৰোধ কৰে, তেওঁ ঈশ্বৰৰ আজ্ঞাৰ প্ৰতিৰোধ কৰে; আৰু যি সকলে প্ৰতিৰোধ কৰে, তেওঁলোকে নিজেই নিজলৈ দণ্ডাজ্ঞা মাতি আনে।
3 What rulers [do] is not [to cause people who] do good deeds to be afraid. Instead, [what they do is to cause people who do] evil to be afraid. So, if any of you [RHQ] wants to be unafraid of officials, do what is good! [If you(sg) do good], they will commend you [instead of punishing you!]
৩কিয়নো শাসনকৰ্তা সকল ভাল কৰ্মলৈ নহয় কিন্তু কুকৰ্মলৈহে ভয়ৰ কাৰণ হয়। আপুনি ক্ষমতালৈ নিৰ্ভয়ে থাকিব খোজা নে? তেনেহলে ভাল কৰ্ম কৰক, তেতিয়াহে প্ৰশংসা পাব;
4 It is in order to serve God [by doing their work that every official exists], in order that they may benefit each of you. If any of you does what is evil, you [(sg) will rightfully have reason to] be afraid, because the authority that they have to punish people [MTY] is very real [LIT]! The officials exist to serve God. That is, they act as God’s agents as they punish those who do evil.
৪কিয়নো আপোনাৰ ভালৰ কাৰণে, তেওঁ ঈশ্বৰৰ পৰিচাৰক হৈছে। কিন্তু আপুনি যদি কুকৰ্ম কৰে, তেনেহলে ভয় কৰিব; কিয়নো তেওঁ তৰোৱাল বৃথা ধৰিছে, এনে নহয়; কাৰণ তেওঁ ঈশ্বৰৰ পৰিচাৰক, দুৰাচাৰী লোকলৈ ক্ৰোধৰ অৰ্থে তেওঁ প্ৰতিফল দিওঁতা।
5 So, it is necessary for you [(pl)] to be subject [to officials], not only because they will punish you [MTY] [if you disobey them], but also because you know [that you should be subject to them]
৫এই কাৰণে বশীভূত হওক, অকল ক্ৰোধৰ ভয়ত নহয়; বিবেকৰ কাৰণেও ঈশ্বৰৰ বশীভূত হ’ব লাগে।
6 It is for this reason that you also pay taxes, because the officials are ones who serve God as they continually do their work.
৬আৰু এই কাৰণে আপোনালোকে দিবলগীয়া কৰ আদায় দিয়ক; কিয়নো তেওঁলোক ঈশ্বৰৰ সেৱক হৈ, সেই কৰ্মতেই লাগি থাকে।
7 Give to all [the officials] what you are supposed to give to them! Pay taxes to [those who require that you pay taxes]. Pay duties [on goods to those who require that you pay those] duties. Respect [those who ought to] be respected. Honor [those who ought to] be honored.
৭যাৰ যি পাবলগীয়া, তেওঁ তাক দিয়ক; কৰ দিবলগীয়াক কৰ দিয়ক; মাচুল দিবলগীয়াক মাচুল দিয়ক; ভয় কৰিব লগা জনক ভয় কৰক; সন্মান কৰিবলগীয়া জনক সন্মান কৰক।
8 Pay all of your debts [when you are supposed to pay them]. The only thing [that is like] a debt that [you] should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that [God requires in] his laws.
৮পৰস্পৰে প্ৰেম কৰাৰ বাহিৰে, আন কোনো কথাত আপোনালোক কাৰো ধৰুৱা নহ’ব; কিয়নো যি জনে আন লোকক প্ৰেম কৰে, তেওঁ বিধানকো সিদ্ধ কৰিলে।
9 [There are many things that God] commanded [in his laws, such as] do not commit adultery, do not murder [anyone], do not steal, and do not desire anything that belongs to someone else. But the command by which they are all summed up {that includes them all} is this: Each of you must love the people with whom you come in contact, just like you [(sg)] love yourself.
৯কিয়নো “ব্যভিচাৰ নকৰিবা, নৰ-বধ নকৰিবা, চুৰ নকৰিবা, লোভ নকৰিবা” আদি কৰি আন কোনো আজ্ঞাও যদি আছে, তেনেহলে এই কথাতে এইবোৰো পোৱা যায়- “তোমাৰ চুবুৰীয়াক নিজৰ নিচিনাকৈ প্ৰেম কৰা৷”
10 If you love people with whom you come in contact [PRS], you will not do any evil to them [LIT]. So, whoever loves [others] fulfills all that [God’s] laws [require].
১০প্ৰেমে চুবুৰীয়াৰ অনিষ্ট সাধন নকৰে; এই কাৰণে প্ৰেমেৰে বিধান পালন কৰা হয়।
11 [Do] what I have just told you, especially since you know [the significance of] the time [in which we are living. You know that it is] time for you to be [fully alert and active] [MET], [like people who have] awakened from sleeping [MET], because [the time when Christ will finally] deliver us [from this world’s pain/sin and sorrow] is near. That time (is closer than/was not so close) when we first believed [in Christ].
১১এই কাৰণে আপোনালোকে এই কাল জানে যে, এতিয়াই টোপনিৰ পৰা সাৰ পাবৰ সময় হ’ল; কিয়নো প্ৰথমে যেতিয়া আমি বিশ্বাস কৰিলোঁ, তেতিয়াতকৈ এতিয়া পৰিত্রাণ আমাৰ ওচৰ হ’ল।
12 [Our time to live in this world] [MTY] [is almost ended] [MET], [like] a night that is nearly ended. The time [when Christ will return] [MTY] is near. So we must quit doing wicked deeds [MET] [such as people do] in the darkness, and [we must be doing the things that will help us resist Satan/evil] [MET], [as soldiers who] put on their armor in the daytime [get ready to resist their enemies].
১২ৰাতিৰ অধিক ভাগ গ’ল, দিন ওচৰ চাপিল; এই কাৰণে আহক, আন্ধাৰৰ কৰ্ম এৰি থৈ পোহৰৰ সাজ পিন্ধোহঁক।
13 We must behave properly, as though the time [when Christ will return] [MTY] [were already here]. We must not participate in drunken carousing [HEN]. We must not commit any kind of sexual immorality [MTY, DOU]. We must not quarrel. We must not be jealous [of other people].
১৩ৰঙ্গৰস, মত্ততা, লম্পট আচৰণ, কামাভিলাষ, বিবাদ আৰু ঈৰ্ষা, এইবোৰ ত্যাগ কৰি, দিনৰ উপযুক্ত শিষ্টাচৰণ কৰোঁহক।
14 On the contrary, you/we should [be like] the Lord Jesus Christ [so that others will see that we belong to him], just as [people] put on [special clothes so that others will see what group they belong to] [MET]. You/We should stop thinking about [doing the things that your/our] self-directed nature desires.
১৪কিন্তু আপোনালোকে প্ৰভু যীচু খ্ৰীষ্টৰ সেই নৈতিক চৰিত্ৰ স্বীকাৰ কৰক আৰু অভিলাষ পূৰ্ণ কৰিবৰ বাবে নিজ নিজ মাংসৰ অৰ্থে একো আয়োজন নকৰিব।
