Romawa 13
1 Dole kowa yă yi biyayya ga masu mulki, gama babu wani iko sai ko in Allah ya yarda. Duk hukumomin da muke su, naɗin Allah ne.
Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God.
2 Saboda haka, duk wanda ya yi tawaye ga hukuma yana yin tawaye da abin da Allah ya naɗa ne, waɗanda kuwa suke aikata haka, za su jawo wa kansu hukunci.
He therefore that setteth himself against the authority resisteth what God hath ordained; and they a who resist will bring upon themselves judgment.
3 Gama masu mulki ba abin tsoro ba ne ga waɗanda suke yin abin da yake daidai, sai dai ga waɗanda suke aikata laifi. Kana so ka rabu da jin tsoron wanda yake mulki? To, sai ka aikata abin da yake daidai, zai kuwa yabe ka.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the government? Do that which is good, and thou wilt have praise from it;
4 Gama shi bawan Allah ne don kyautata rayuwarka. Amma in ka aikata mugunta, to, sai ka ji tsoro, don ba a banza ne shugaba yake ɗaukan takobinsa ba. Shi fa bawan Allah ne, ta wurinsa ne fushin Allah yakan hukunta masu laifi.
for the ruler is God's servant to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is God's servant, an avenger to inflict wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Saboda haka, dole a yi biyayya ga hukumomi, ba don gudun horo kawai ba amma don lamirinku.
It is necessary therefore to submit, not only because of the wrath, but also for your conscience' sake.
6 Shi ne ma ya sa kuke biyan haraji, gama hukumomin nan bayin Allah ne, waɗanda suke ba da dukan lokacinsu don aikin shugabanci.
For the same reason pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very business.
7 Ku ba wa kowa hakkinsa. In kuna da bashin haraji, sai ku biya; in kuɗin shiga ne, ku biya kuɗin shiga; in ladabi ne, ku yi ladabi; in kuma girmamawa ne, ku ba da girma.
Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.
8 Kada hakkin kowa yă zauna a kanku, sai dai na ƙaunar juna, don mai ƙaunar maƙwabcinsa ya cika Doka ke nan.
Owe no one anything but brotherly love; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the Law.
9 Umarnan nan, “Kada ka yi zina.” “Kada ka yi kisankai.” “Kada ka yi sata.” “Kada kuma ka yi ƙyashi.” Da dai duk sauran umarnai an ƙunshe su ne a wannan kalma “Ka ƙaunaci maƙwabcinka kamar kanka.”
For these, “Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet,” and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
10 Ƙauna ba ta cutar da maƙwabci. Saboda haka ƙauna cika Doka ce.
Love worketh no ill to one's neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.
11 Ku yi wannan domin kun san irin zamanin da kuke ciki. Lokaci ya yi da za ku farka daga barcinku, don cetonmu ya yi kusa yanzu fiye da lokacin da muka fara ba da gaskiya.
And this, since we know the time, that it is already high time for us to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we became believers.
12 Dare fa ya kusan ƙarewa; gari kuma yana gab da wayewa. Saboda haka bari mu kawar da ayyukan duhu mu kuma yafa kayan yaƙi na haske.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us then throw off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light.
13 Bari mu tafiyar da al’amuranmu yadda ya dace a yi da rana, ba a cikin shashanci da buguwa ba, ba cikin fasikanci da rashin kunya ba, ba kuma cikin faɗa da kishi ba.
Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife and envy;
14 A maimakon haka, ku ɗauki halin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, kada kuma ku yi tunani game da yadda za ku gamsar da sha’awace-sha’awacen mutuntaka.
but clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and think not about satisfying the lusts of the flesh.
