Roome 13

1 Ay asikka bena aysiza daanatas haaristana bessis. Xoossafe imetontta dishin daanatethi deena. Ha7i diza daanati Xoossafe daanatidaytakko.

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God; and those that exist are placed under God.

2 Hessa gishshi daana bolla makali7idey Xoossa woga bolla makali7ees. He makali7izaytika ba bolla pirida eheetes.

Wherefore, he who sets himself in opposition to the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they who resist shall procure punishment to themselves.

3 Dere aysizati iitta oothizayta babiseetes attin loo7o oothizayta babisetena. Ne dere aysizades babbontta agana koyazii? Histinko loo7o ootha; izikka nena galatana.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Would you, then, not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same.

4 Izi nees loo7o oothanas Xoossa oothanichako. Gido attin ne iitta oothida gidiko izas babba. Gaasoyka izi masha coo mela gixxiibeyna; Izi iitta oothizade qaxayanas Xoossa oothanichako.

For the ruler is a servant of God for good to you. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; because he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a servant of God, a revenger to inflict wrath on him who works evil.

5 Hessa gishshi iza qixxetes babo xalala gidontta ne qofapankka daanatizades azazistanas besses.

Wherefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience.

6 Inte giira immizay hessaskko. Aysizayti hessa he oothoza bolla Xoossi istta wothides.

For this reason, therefore, you pay taxes also to them, because they are public ministers of God, attending continually to this very business.

7 Isttafe issas issas bessizayssa immite. Giira immana besizaytas giira immite; qaraxa qanxxanaas bessizaytas qaraxa qanxxite; Babanas bessizaytas babbite; bonichanas bessizata bonichite.

Render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tax is due, tax; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honor, honor.

8 Inte garisan issay issara siiqetethafe attin oona bollaka accoy doopo. Ase siiqiza uray izi wogaa pollides.

Owe no man anything, unless to love one another. For he who loves another, has fulfilled the law.

9 “Laymatopa”, “Wodhopa”, “amotofa” gizaytane hara azazoti diikokka “Asi wursaka ne mala siiqa” giza hanno issi wogayn wurikka kuyettides.

For this, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not covet"; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this precept, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

10 siiqoy asa bolla iitta oothena; Hessa gishshi siiqoy woga wurisos kuusha.

Love works no evil to one's neighbor: therefore, love the the fulfilling of the law.

11 Hayssa wodaa cadi xeellidi hessa oothite. Ha7i hana inte dhisikofe denidiza wodeko. Nu kase ammanosope haa simmin ha7i nuus attiza wodey matides.

Further, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to awake out of sleep. (For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed:

12 Qamay aadhin wonttana gees. Hessa gishshi ane nu dhuma ootho wora yeggidi poo7o olla miishshe mayosu.

the night is far advanced, and the day is at hand.) Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

13 Gallasara hamutiza mala ane wogara hamutosu. magulithanine matho gidon; laymma amonine laymman gidopo; qanatetethanine palaman gidopo.

Let us walk about decently, as in the day, not in revelings and drunkenness; not in chamberings and lasciviousness; not in strife and envy.

14 Hessa aggidi Yesus Kiristoosa mayte. Asho amo polanaas qopofite.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lusts of the flesh.
