Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are 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 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to 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 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 authority,
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 he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does 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 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Nganyo ipalikwa utii, siyo tu kwa mwanja ukale, ila kai sabau ya dhamili.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Aye nembe go lipa kodi. Na bembe utawala ni batumilwe na Nnongo, na bembe benda yendelya panga likowe lee.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then 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, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has 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 the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
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 doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Upendo umega kwa jirani wa mundu kwa nyoo, upendo ngai kamilishe seliya.
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.
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 gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s 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’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
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 put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Ila tuwa mwale Nngwana Yesu KIrisitu, na twileke nafsi kwa ajili ya yega, kwa tamaniya kwake.
