Abaruumi 13
1 Buli muntu awulirenga abafuzi, kubanga tewali buyinza butava eri Katonda, era n’abafuzi abaliwo Katonda ye yabalonda.
Let every soule submit him selfe vnto the auctorite of ye hyer powers. For there is no power but of God.
2 Noolwekyo abawakanya abafuzi, bawakanya buyinza bwa Katonda. Era baba bawakanya kiragiro kye, bwe batyo ne beereetako bokka omusango.
The powers that be are ordeyned of God. Whosoever therfore resysteth power resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resist shall receave to the selfe damnacio.
3 Kubanga abafuzi baba tebalwanyisa bikolwa birungi naye ebibi. Oyagala obutakangibwa wa buyinza, kola bulungi osiimibwe,
For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same.
4 kubanga muweereza wa Katonda ku lw’obulungi bwo. Naye bw’onookolanga ekibi, osaanidde otye kubanga ekitala ky’alina si kya bwereere, kubanga muweereza wa Katonda awoolera eggwanga eri oyo akola ekibi.
For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll.
5 Noolwekyo kibagwanira okuba abawulize, si lwa busungu bwokka, naye n’olw’okumanya nga kye kituufu.
Wherfore ye must nedes obeye not for feare of vengeaunce only: but also because of conscience.
6 Era kyemuva muwa omusolo kubanga abakozi abo baweereza ba Katonda nga banyiikirira emirimu gyabwe.
And even for this cause paye ye tribute. For they are goddes ministers servynge for the same purpose.
7 Abantu bonna basasulenga ebibabanjibwa; musasulenga emisolo eri abo be muteekwa okuwa omusolo, n’ow’empooza mumuwenga empooza; n’oyo ateekwa okutiibwa mumutyenga, n’oyo ateekwa okuweebwa ekitiibwa mumuwenga ekitiibwa.
Geve to every man therfore his duetie: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custome to whom custome is due: feare to whom feare belongeth: Honoure to who honoure pertayneth
8 Temubeeranga na bbanja lyonna eri omuntu yenna, wabula okwagalananga; kubanga ayagala muntu munne ng’atuukiriza amateeka.
Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe.
9 Kubanga amateeka gano nti, “Toyendanga, tottanga, tobbanga, teweegombanga,” n’etteeka eddala, ligattiddwa mu kino nti, “Yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.”
For these commaundementes: Thou shalt not comit advoutry: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Thou shalt not desyre and so forth (yf there be eny other comaundement) they are all comprehended in this sayinge: Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
10 Ayagala muliraanwa we tamukola bubi; noolwekyo okwagala kyekuva kutuukiriza amateeka.
Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe.
11 Mumanye nga kino kye kiseera, era essaawa etuuse mugolokoke okuva mu tulo, kubanga kaakano obulokozi bwaffe buli kumpi okusinga ne we twakkiririza.
This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved.
12 Ekiro kiyise, obudde bunaatera okukya, noolwekyo tweyambulemu ebikolwa eby’ekizikiza, twambale ebyokulwanyisa eby’omusana.
The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght.
13 Tutambulenga ng’ab’omu musana, so si mu binyumu ne mu kutamiira, ne mu bwenzi n’obukaba, ne mu kuyombagana n’obuggya,
Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge and drinkynge: nether in chamburynge and wantannes: nether in stryfe and envyinge:
14 naye twambale Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo so tetuwanga mubiri bbanga kukola ng’okwegomba kwagwo bwe kuli.
but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it.
