Romawa 13
1 Bari kowa yayi biyayya da hukuma, saboda babu wata hukuma sai dai in tazo daga Allah; mahukunta da suke nan kuwa daga Allah ne.
Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but from God: the authorities that are, have been appointed by God.
2 Saboda da haka duk wanda ya ja hukuma ya ja da dokar Allah; kuma dukan wadanda suka ki hukuma za su sha hukunci.
Therefore, he that resists the authority, resists the appointment of God; and those who resist shall receive to themselves condemnation.
3 Don kuwa mahukunta ba abin tsoro ne ga masu nagarta ba, amma ga masu aikata laifi. Kuna so ku zama marasa tsoron hukuma? Kuyi abu nagari, zaku sami yabo daga yin hakan.
For rulers are not a terror to works that are good, but to those which are evil. Will you, then, not be afraid of the authority? Do that which is good, and you shall receive praise from the same.
4 Saboda shi bawan Allah ne a gare ku don nagarta. Amma in kun yi abu mara kyau, kuyi tsoro, saboda ba ya dauke da takobi ba tare da dalili ba. Don shi bawan Allah ne mai saka wa mugu da fushi.
For he is the minister of God to you for that which is good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain. For he is the minister of God to inflict punishment on him that does evil.
5 Saboda haka dole kuyi biyayya, ba don fushi ba, amma saboda lamiri.
Wherefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of punishment, but also for conscience sake.
6 Saboda wannan ne kuke biyan haraji. Don masu mulki bayin Allah ne, wadanda suke yin haka kullum.
On this very account, too, pay tribute also: for they are the public servants of God, attending continually to this very thing.
7 Ku bawa kowa hakkinsa; haraji ga mai haraji; kudin fito ga mai fito; tsoro ga wanda ya cancanci tsoro; girma ga wanda cancanci girmamawa.
Render, therefore, to all their dues; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor is due.
8 Kada ku rike bashin kowa, sai dai ku kaunaci juna. Domin duk wanda ya kaunaci dan'uwansa ya cika doka.
Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled the law.
9 To, “Kada kuyi zina, kada kuyi kisa, kada kuyi sata, kada kuyi kyashi, idan har akwai wata doka kuma, an takaita ta a wannan jimlar: “Ka kaunaci dan'uwanka kamar kanka.”
For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
10 Kauna bata cutar da makwabci. Domin haka, kauna tace cikar shari'a.
Love works no evil to our neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Saboda wannan, kun san lokaci yayi, ku farka daga barci. Domin cetonmu yana kusa fiye da yadda muke tsammani.
And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed:
12 Dare yayi nisa, gari ya kusan wayewa. Don haka, sai mu rabu da ayyukan duhu, mu yafa makaman haske.
the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Sai muyi tafiya yadda ya kamata, kamar da rana, ba a cikin shashanci ko buguwa ba. Kada kuma muyi tafiya cikin fasikanci da muguwar sha'awa, ba kuma cikin husuma ko kishi ba.
Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in contention and in envy:
14 Amma ku yafa Ubangiji Yesu Almasihu, kada kuwa ku tanadi halin mutumtaka, don biye wa muguwar sha'awarsa.
but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
