Valumi 13
1 Kila mundu iganikiwa kuvayidikila vachilongosi va mulima vevana uhotola muni kawaka mundu mweihotola kulongosa ngati Chapanga amvikili lepi alongosayi.
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 Mundu yula mweibela ulongosi, mwenuyo ibela malagizu ga Chapanga, na mweikita chenicho akujiletela uhamula mwene.
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 Muni, vevitalalila viyogopwa lepi na vandu vevikita gabwina, nambu viyogopwa na vandu vala vevikita gahakau. Na veve wiganikiwa lepi kumuyogopa mweakulongosa. Kita gabwina na mwene yati akulumbalila,
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 muni mwene akumuhengela Chapanga ndava yinu muni mpata gabwina. Nambu ngati ukita gahakau, ndi penapo umuyogopa, muni ana uhotola wa kuhamuliwa. Mwene ilangisa ligoga la Chapanga kwa vala vevikita uhakau.
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 Ndi wiganikiwa kuvatopesa vanauhotola, lepi ndava ya kuyogopa kuhamuliwa na Chapanga nambu ndava ya mtima waku wimanya chewigana kuhenga.
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
6 Ndava yeniyo nyenye mwilipa kodi, muni vevitalalila avo vakumuhengela Chapanga ndava ya mahengu gavi.
for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
7 Mumpela kila mundu cheiganikiwa kupewa, ngati udayiwa kodi, mumpela kodi, ngati udayiwa ushulu, mumpela ushulu, mweiganikiwa kuyogopwa ndi ayogopewayi mweiganikiwa kutopeswa mumtopesa.
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 Mkoto kuvya na lideni kwa mundu yoyoha, nambu lideni kuganana ndu. Muni mundu mweakumgana muyaki akugalanda malagizu ga Musa.
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled,
9 Muni mihilu yene ndi yeniyi, “Kotoka kukita ugoni, koto kukoma, koto kuyiva koto kunogela vindu vya vandu,” Na zingi zoha zivii mu malagizu lenili limonga, “Umganayi muyaku ngati cheukujigana wamwene.”
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 Ukamganayi muyaki uhotola lepi kumkitila uhakau. Hinu uganu ndi kwenuko ndi kutimila kwa Malagizu goha.
the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of law.
11 Mkita naha, ndava muni lukumbi lwinu lwa kuyumuka mu lugono luhikili, usangula witu luhegelili papipi neju kuliku patatumbwili kusadika.
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 Hinu kilu yipitili na muhi luhegelela. Ndi tileka kukita mahakau ga chitita na titola vindu vya kukomanila ngondo vya lumuli.
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 Titama bwina ngati vandu vevitama lukumbi lwa muhi. Tileka mselebuko weuvi na matendu gahakau, na kugala na ukemi na uhakau na ngondo na wihu.
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
14 Mkitayi vandu vamlolayi BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu avi muwumi winu, na mleka kuzihololela mnogo uhaku wemuvelikiwi nawu na kuzilanda.
but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.
