Roomaa 13
1 Namni kam iyyuu warra taayitaa bulchiinsaa irra jiran jalatti buluu qaba; yoo Waaqa irraa taʼe malee taayitaa qabaachuun hin dandaʼamuutii. Warra taayitaa qaban Waaqatu muude.
Let euery soule be subiect vnto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordeined of God.
2 Kanaafuu namni abbootii taayitaatiin mormu sirna Waaqaatiin morma; warri akkas godhanis murtii ofitti fidu.
Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues condemnation.
3 Bulchitoonni warra waan hamaa hojjetan malee warra waan gaarii hojjetan hin sodaachisan. Ati akka nama taayitaa qabu hin sodaanne ni barbaaddaa? Egaa waan gaarii hojjedhu; inni iyyuu si galateeffataatii.
For Magistrates are not to be feared for good workes, but for euill. Wilt thou then bee without feare of the power? doe well: so shalt thou haue praise of the same.
4 Inni waan gaarii siif gochuudhaaf tajaajilaa Waaqaatii. Ati garuu yoo waan hamaa hojjette sodaadhu; inni akkasumaan goraadee hin qabatuutii. Inni tajaajilaa Waaqaa kan warra waan hamaa hojjetan irratti dheekkamsa fiduun haaloo baasuu dha.
For he is ye minister of God for thy wealth, but if thou do euill, feare: for he beareth not the sworde for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth euill.
5 Kanaafuu sababii dheekkamsaa qofaaf utuu hin taʼin, yaada qulqulluudhaan warra taayitaa irra jiran jalatti buluun barbaachisaa dha.
Wherefore ye must bee subiect, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake.
6 Isinis kanumaaf qaraxa baaftu; abbootiin taayitaa tajaajiltoota Waaqaa warra yeroo isaanii guutuu hojii bulchiinsaatiif kennaniidhaatii.
For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are Gods ministers, applying themselues for the same thing.
7 Waan nama hundaaf kennuun isin irra jiru kennaa; yoo qaraxa taʼe qaraxa, yoo gibira taʼe immoo gibira baasaa; yoo sodaachuu taʼe sodaadhaa; yoo ulfina kennuu taʼes, ulfina kennaa.
Giue to all men therefore their duetie: tribute, to whome yee owe tribute: custome, to whom custome: feare, to whome feare: honour, to whom ye owe honour.
8 Isin wal jaallachuu malee gatii tokko illee of irraa hin qabaatinaa; namni nama biraa jaallatu kam iyyuu seera raawwateeraatii.
Owe nothing to any man, but to loue one another: for he that loueth another, hath fulfilled the Lawe.
9 Ajajawwan, “Hin ejjin; hin ajjeesin; hin hatin; hin hawwin” jedhanii fi ajajni biraas seera, “Ollaa kee akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu” jedhu kanaan walitti guduunfamu.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Thou shalt not couet: and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, euen in this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
10 Jaalalli ollaa isaa hin miidhu. Kanaafuu jaalalli raawwii seeraa ti.
Loue doeth not euill to his neighbour: therefore is loue the fulfilling of the Lawe.
11 Yeroon isin hirribaa dammaqxan amma akka taʼe hubadhaa. Yeroo nu itti amanne sana caalaa fayyinni keenya amma nutti dhiʼaateeraatii.
And that, considering the season, that it is now time that we should arise from sleepe: for now is our saluation neerer, then when we beleeued it.
12 Halkan bariʼuu gaʼeera; guyyaanis dhiʼaateera. Kanaafuu hojii dukkanaa of irraa gannee miʼa lolaa kan ifaa haa hidhannu.
The night is past, and the day is at hande, let vs therefore cast away the workes of darkenesse, and let vs put on the armour of light,
13 Kottaa akka yeroo guyyaatti amala gaariin haa jiraannu; addaggummaa fi machiidhaan miti; jireenya sagaagalummaa fi gad dhiisiitiin miti; wal loluu fi hinaaffaadhaan miti.
So that wee walke honestly, as in the day: not in gluttonie, and drunkennesse, neither in chambering and wantonnes, nor in strife and enuying.
14 Qooda kanaa Yesuus Kiristoos Goofticha uffadhaa; akka itti hawwii foonii gammachiiftan hin yaadinaa.
But put yee on the Lord JESUS CHRIST, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfill the lustes of it.
