Men Rom 13
1 AMEN amen en upa kaun akan, me kin poe irail edi, pwe sota kaun akan me sota sang ren Kot, a wasa kaun akan mia, nan irail me ren Kot.
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 Ari, me pan katiwo ong kaun akan kin katiwo ong kusoned en Kot, a me katiwo kan, pan lodi ong kapung.
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 Pwe saupeidi kan sota kin kamasakki, me kin wia mau, pwe me kin wia me sued. A ma koe sota men masak kaun akan, en wiada me mau, koe ap pan indandeki pa’rail.
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 Pwe a papan Kot o iei me mau ong uk, a ma koe wia me sued, masak, pwe a sota kin wa mal kodlas. Pwe a papan Kot o, pwen kame me wia sued.
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 Iei me komail en peiki ong, a kaidin pweki kamekam a pweki insen omail.
Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,
6 Iei me komail pil wiai ong nopwei, pwe irail me papan Kot, me kin kaukaule papa wet.
for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
7 Komail ari kapungala omail pwaipwand ong amen amen! Taksis ong me taksis kin wiaui ong, nopwei ong me nopwei kin wiaui ong; masak, me masak kin ko ong; ki ong wau, me wau kin ko ong.
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 Der pwaipwandeki meakot ong amen; iet eta: Omail limpok pena, pwe me kin pok ong amen, kin kapwaiada kapung o.
To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled,
9 Pwe iet akan: Koe der kamal! Koe der kamela aramas! Koe der pirap! Koe der norok! O ma pil eu kusoned mia, iet orlepa: Koe en pok ong men imp om due pein uk!
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 Limpok sota kin wia sued ong men imp a. Ari, limpok audepan kapung.
the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of law.
11 O pil met: Kitail en dedeki duen ansau o, pwe auer leler, me kitail en pirida sang mair, pwe ansaun atail dorela me koren sang ni tapin atail poson.
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 Pongpong daulier, a ran me korendor. Kitail en pwilikidi wiawian rotorot akan, ap ale tatan marain.
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 Kitail en kekeid ni tiak mau, pwe ni ran; der kaped en manga de kamom soko, der samin de saut, de luak, de peirin.
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
14 A komail ale Kaun Iesus Kristus, o der kangongala pali uduk, pwen angeda a inong sued.
but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.
