Roma 13
1 Hagi kamani vahe'mokizmi agorga ana mikomota anteramita manigahune. Na'ankure miko hanavea Anumzamofontegati e'neankino, Anumzamo'ma hankavea kamani vahe'mokizmia zamige'za fore hu'za mani'naze.
Every [believer] must be subject to the authorities. [Remember that] God is the only one [who gives officials their] authority. Furthermore, those officials that exist are ones who have been appointed by God {God has appointed}.
2 Hu'negu iza'o kamani vahe'ma ha'rentesimo'a, Anumzamofo trake ha'renteankino, ana knazana agra'a erigahie.
So whoever resists the officials is resisting what God has established. Furthermore, those who resist officials will bring on themselves [from the officials] the punishment [that God considers fitting].
3 Na'ankure kamani vahe'ma mani'nazana, fatgo zama haza vahe zamazeri korera nosaze. Hianagi kefozama haza vahe zamazeri korera nehaze. Kamani vahe'ma kore huozmantesue hanunka, fatgo kavukva nehuge'za, kazeri antesga hiho.
What rulers [do] is not [to cause people who] do good deeds to be afraid. Instead, [what they do is to cause people who do] evil to be afraid. So, if any of you [RHQ] wants to be unafraid of officials, do what is good! [If you(sg) do good], they will commend you [instead of punishing you!]
4 Kamani vahe'ma mani'nazana tamagri knare zanku huzmantege'za mani'nazanki'za, Anumzamofo eri'za vahere. Hianagi kagrama hazenkema nehanunka, korera hugahane. Na'ankure zamagra hazenkema hanaza vahe'mokizmi, knomazamino zamazeri fatgohu hankavea eri'naze, kano zamiza zamazeri fatgo hanaza agafare, Anumzamo'a zmantege'za mani'naze.
It is in order to serve God [by doing their work that every official exists], in order that they may benefit each of you. If any of you does what is evil, you [(sg) will rightfully have reason to] be afraid, because the authority that they have to punish people [MTY] is very real [LIT]! The officials exist to serve God. That is, they act as God’s agents as they punish those who do evil.
5 E'ina hu'negu kamani vahe'mokizmi zmagorgama mani'zamo'a knare hu'ne. Hianagi zmaheno zamazeri ante fatgo huzankukerompage, tagra'a tagu'tagesafina fatgo'za nehune huta antahigahune.
So, it is necessary for you [(pl)] to be subject [to officials], not only because they will punish you [MTY] [if you disobey them], but also because you know [that you should be subject to them]
6 Ama ana agafare takisi zagoa miza nehune. Na'ankure kamani vahera Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'naze. Hakare'a knazupa zamagra vahe'ma kvagrizmante eri'za enerize.
It is for this reason that you also pay taxes, because the officials are ones who serve God as they continually do their work.
7 Hagi ana miko vahe'mokizmi zama eri'nesaza zana eteta zamiho, takisi zagoma zamiho hunesizana neminka, fenoma mizasenante takesi zago miza hiho hanageta miza nehuta, kore huzmanteho hu'nesaza vahera, kore hunezmanteta, ra zamagi zamiho hu'nesia vahera, ra zamagi zamiho.
Give to all [the officials] what you are supposed to give to them! Pay taxes to [those who require that you pay taxes]. Pay duties [on goods to those who require that you pay those] duties. Respect [those who ought to] be respected. Honor [those who ought to] be honored.
8 Atrenkeno nofima hu'zamo'a tamagripina omaneno, hagi rumokizmi zamavesinte nofimoke tamagripina meno. Na'ankure tva'ontamirema nemanizamokizmigu avesintezamo'a, kasegemoma hu'nea ke amage ante fatgo nehie.
Pay all of your debts [when you are supposed to pay them]. The only thing [that is like] a debt that [you] should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that [God requires in] his laws.
9 Na'ankure kasegefina amanage hu'ne, Ru vene a'enena monko'zana osuo, Vahera zamahe ofrio, kumzafa oso, vahe zantera keganunu osuo hu'ne. (Eks-Ati 20:13-17) Hagi ruga'a kasegemo'za ama magoke kasegefi me'naze. E'i ana kasegemo huno, Kagragu'ma kavesi negantanankna hunka, tava'onkare maninesimofona avesinto hu'ne. (Lev-Pri 19:13)
[There are many things that God] commanded [in his laws, such as] do not commit adultery, do not murder [anyone], do not steal, and do not desire anything that belongs to someone else. But the command by which they are all summed up {that includes them all} is this: Each of you must love the people with whom you come in contact, just like you [(sg)] love yourself.
10 Tava'onte'ma mani'namokizmi avesintezamo'a havizana omnene. E'i ana hu'negu vahe'ma zamesinte'zamo'a kasege eri knare nehie.
If you love people with whom you come in contact [PRS], you will not do any evil to them [LIT]. So, whoever loves [others] fulfills all that [God’s] laws [require].
11 Tamagra ama anahu tamavutamava hiho, na'ankure tamagra antahinaze, menina knamo'a kofa hu'nefi mani'nonanki, masenazafintira otiho. Na'ankure tahokeno tavrezamo'a, tagu'ama rukrehema hunontetima amare'ma ehanatiana, hago menina erava'o nehie.
[Do] what I have just told you, especially since you know [the significance of] the time [in which we are living. You know that it is] time for you to be [fully alert and active] [MET], [like people who have] awakened from sleeping [MET], because [the time when Christ will finally] deliver us [from this world’s pain/sin and sorrow] is near. That time (is closer than/was not so close) when we first believed [in Christ].
12 Hanizamo'a kofta huno vagaresigeno, masama fore'ma hania zamo'a kofta hu'ne. Ana hu'negu hanizamofo avu'ava zama nehu'na zana netreta, masamofo ha' kukena hanune.
[Our time to live in this world] [MTY] [is almost ended] [MET], [like] a night that is nearly ended. The time [when Christ will return] [MTY] is near. So we must quit doing wicked deeds [MET] [such as people do] in the darkness, and [we must be doing the things that will help us resist Satan/evil] [MET], [as soldiers who] put on their armor in the daytime [get ready to resist their enemies].
13 Ana hu'negu masare'ma nehazankna huta knare tavutava nehuta, hanizamofo muse zampina omanita, aka tina oneta neginagi osuta, monko'zana nosuta, monko avu'ava hu'zampina omanita, mago rimpa osu avu'ava zampinena omanita kanive oreho.
We must behave properly, as though the time [when Christ will return] [MTY] [were already here]. We must not participate in drunken carousing [HEN]. We must not commit any kind of sexual immorality [MTY, DOU]. We must not quarrel. We must not be jealous [of other people].
14 Hu'neanagi atrenkeno, Ramo, Jisas Kraisi tamagripina mani'neno, kefozama hu tamavesizana eri atreno.
On the contrary, you/we should [be like] the Lord Jesus Christ [so that others will see that we belong to him], just as [people] put on [special clothes so that others will see what group they belong to] [MET]. You/We should stop thinking about [doing the things that your/our] self-directed nature desires.
