Romans 13
1 Euery soule be suget to heiyere powers. For ther is no power but of God, and tho thingis that ben of God, ben ordeyned.
Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara brɛ ne ho ase ma tumi a ɛwɔ ɔman no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, tumi biara nni hɔ a ɛmfiri Onyankopɔn pɛ mu. Tumi biara a ɛwɔ hɔ no firi Onyankopɔn.
2 Therfor he that ayenstondith power, ayenstondith the ordynaunce of God; and thei that ayenstonden, geten to hem silf dampnacioun.
Obiara a ɔne tumi a ɛwɔ hɔ no di asie no tia deɛ Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ. Na obiara a ɔbɛyɛ saa no de atemmuo ba nʼankasa ara so.
3 For princes ben not to the drede of good work, but of yuel. But wilt thou, that thou drede not power? Do thou good thing, and thou schalt haue preisyng of it;
Wɔn a wɔyɛ papa no nsuro atumfoɔ, na mmom wɔn a wɔyɛ amumuyɛ no na wɔsuro atumfoɔ. Wopɛ sɛ woyɛ obi a ɔnsuro deɛ tumi wɔ ne nsam anaa? Ɛnneɛ, yɛ deɛ ɛtene na ɔbɛkamfo wo.
4 for he is the mynystre of God to thee in to good. But if thou doist yuel, drede thou; for not with outen cause he berith the swerd, for he is the mynystre of God, vengere in to wraththe to hym that doith yuel.
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ a wo yiedie mu enti na ɔyɛ adwuma. Na sɛ woyɛ bɔne a, suro no ɛfiri sɛ, ne tumi a ɔde twe aso no da hɔ fann. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, enti ɔnam Onyankopɔn abufuo so twe wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne no aso.
5 And therfor bi nede be ye suget, not oneli for wraththe, but also for conscience.
Esiane saa enti, ɛsɛ sɛ wobrɛ wo ho ase ma tumi, a ɛnyɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abufuo no enti, na mmom, ɛsiane nim a wonim sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ no enti.
6 For therfor ye yyuen tributis, thei ben the mynystris of God, and seruen for this same thing.
Yei enti na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua toɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ atumfoɔ no yɛ wɔn adwuma a, wɔyɛ ma Onyankopɔn.
7 Therfor yelde ye to alle men dettis, to whom tribut, tribut, to whom tol, tol, to whom drede, drede, to whom onour, onour.
Enti, tua ka a wode wɔn; tua ka a wode; sɛ ɛyɛ wo honam mu ka anaasɛ ɛyɛ agyapadeɛ ho ka, na fa obuo ne anidie ma wɔn nyinaa.
8 To no man owe ye ony thing, but that ye loue togidere. For he that loueth his neiybore, hath fulfillid the lawe.
Nne obiara ka. Ɛka a ɛsɛ sɛ wode ara ne sɛ wobɛdɔ afoforɔ. Obiara a ɔdɔ ne yɔnko nnipa no adi mmara no so.
9 For, Thou schalt do no letcherie, Thou schalt not sle, Thou schalt not stele, Thou schalt not seie fals witnessyng, Thou schalt not coueyte the thing of thi neiybore, and if ther be ony othere maundement, it is instorid in this word, Thou schalt loue thi neiybore as thi silf.
Mmaransɛm a ɛka sɛ, “Nsɛe awadeɛ, nni awu, mmɔ korɔno, mma wʼani mmere adeɛ,” yeinom ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa tiawatwa ara ne sɛ, “Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.”
10 The loue of neiybore worchith not yuel; therfor loue is the fulfillyng of the lawe.
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne yɔnko no nyɛ no bɔne. Sɛ wodɔ wo yɔnko a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ woadi mmara no nyinaa so.
11 And we knowen this tyme, that the our is now, that we rise fro sleep; for now oure heelthe is neer, than whanne we bileueden.
Ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ yei, ɛfiri sɛ, wonim mmerɛ a wowɔ mu. Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wosɔre firi wo nna mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgye yɛn nkwa no abɛn sene ɛberɛ a yɛgye dii kane no.
12 The nyyt wente bifore, but the dai hath neiyed. Therfor caste we awei the werkis of derknessis, and be we clothid in the armeris of liyt.
Adesaeɛ retwam, na adekyeeɛ reyɛ abɛn yɛn. Enti, momma yɛnnyae nneɛma a ɛyɛ sum deɛ no yɛ, na momfa akodeɛ a wɔde ko hann mu no.
13 As in dai wandre we onestli, not in superflu feestis and drunkenessis, not in beddis and vnchastitees, not in strijf and in enuye;
Momma yɛmmɔ yɛn bra yie te sɛ nnipa a wɔte hann no mu a agobɔne anaa nsãborɔ, adwamammɔ anaa ahohwie, ɔko anaa anibereɛ nni mu.
14 but be ye clothid in the Lord Jhesu Crist, and do ye not the bisynesse of fleisch in desiris.
Momma Awurade Yesu Kristo mmɛn mo te sɛ ntoma a mofira, na morempɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ deɛ ɔhonam pɛ.
