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 soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed 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.
so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive 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 those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt 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 of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.
5 Saboda haka, dole a yi biyayya ga hukumomi, ba don gudun horo kawai ba amma don lamirinku.
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
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 because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
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, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.
8 Kada hakkin kowa yă zauna a kanku, sai dai na ƙaunar juna, don mai ƙaunar maƙwabcinsa ya cika Doka ke nan.
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled,
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, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'
10 Ƙauna ba ta cutar da maƙwabci. Saboda haka ƙauna cika Doka ce.
the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of 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, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our salvation than when we did believe;
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 did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the 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.
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
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 put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.
