Warumi 13
1 Kila muntu kafiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima wa silikari, toziya silikari yoseri ilawiti kwa Mlungu na ukolamlima utulwa na Mlungu.
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2 Yoseri yakalema ukolamlima wa isi, kalema lilagaliru lyakalagaliriti Mlungu na muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu hakalijegeri mweni utoza.
Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3 Wakolamlima wa isi watilwa ndiri na wantu walii yawatenda gaherepa, kumbiti watilwa na wantu woseri yawatenda ukondola. Hashi, gufira guweri ndiri na lyoga kulongolu kwa wakolamlima? Su gwenga gutendi gaherepa na womberi hawakuzyumi,
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
4 toziya womberi wawera wantumintumi wa Mlungu yawatenda lihengu kwa mota ya mwenga. Kumbiti pagutenda ukondola, su gufiruwa kuwatira toziya womberi wawera na makakala ga kukutoza. Womberi ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu, womberi yawawera na azabu ya Mlungu kwa woseri yawatenda ukondola.
for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5 Toziya ayi mwenga mfiruwa kuwajimira wakolamlima, hera ndiri kwa kutila azabu ya Mlungu, kumbiti viraa toziya muvimana mumyoyu yamwenga ndo iherepa.
Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga mlipaga kodi, toziya wakolamlima wankumtendera Mlungu pawatimiza mahengu gawu.
For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
7 Mumpanani kila muntu shakafiruwa kupata, wantu yawatola kodi, muwalipi kodi na yawatola ushuru muwalipi ushuru, wantu woseri yawafiruwa ligoya, wapananwi ligoya.
Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
8 Namuwera na uwanda kwa muntu yoseri, kumbiti uwanda wa kulifira maweni. Muntu yoseri yakatenda hangu kalijimira Lilagaliru.
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Malagaliru ndo aga, “Nagutenda uhumba, nagulaga, nagwiwa, naguwera na lumatamata kwa shintu sha muntu gwingi.” Goseri aga na gamonga gawera mulilagaliru limu, “Gumfiri muyagu ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Handa paguwafira wamonga, gwenga hapeni guwatenderi ukondola, su mafiliru ndo ukamilika wa Lilagaliru lyoseri.
Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11 Mfiruwa mtendi aga, toziya muvimana kuwera shipindi shiza sha gwenga kwimuka mumpota. Ulopoziya wa twenga wapakwegera vinu kuliku patwanjiti kujimira.
Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
12 Pashiru papakwegera kupera na paliwala wapakwegera. Su twenga tuleki kutenda vitwatira vyaviwera vya luwindu na tutoli silaha za ulangala.
The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
13 Twenga tufiruwa tulikali ntambu yayifiruwa na unakaka mu kila shintu shatutenda. Namuwera na lwaliya ama ulowera ama undiyandiya ama ndewu ama weya.
Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
14 Kumbiti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu hakawalongoziyi mwenga, na namulihola kuusu njira za kutenda lumatamata lwa vidoda.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
