Walumi 13
1 Kila nafsi naibhe nahwishe hwa bhabhali pamwanya, hwahuje nomoo awemelelele hwahuje efumile hwa Ngolobhe. Ne mamlaka zyezihweli zibhehwelwe no Ngolobhe.
Let every soul be subject to higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those who have been ordained by God.
2 Hwola waikhana emamlaka eyo akhana ndapizyo zya Ngolobhe; na bhala bhabhayikhana bhenzeyiposhele aloongwe humwanya yabho bhebho.
And so, whoever resists authority, resists what has been ordained by God. And those who resist are acquiring damnation for themselves.
3 Hwa huje alongozi sebhatisizya hwabhala bhabhabhomba aminza, huje hwabhala bhabhabhomba embibhi. Huje oziliha kutohwogope abhe mamlaka? Bhombaga gagali miza, na bhenze huntufyee hwego.
For leaders are not a source of fear to those who work good, but to those who work evil. And would you prefer not to be afraid of authority? Then do what is good, and you shall have praise from them.
4 Hwa huje ulitumwa wa Ngolobhe waho hwaajili yemiza. Nkashile obhabhombe gagali mabhibhi, ogopa; hwa huje sagabeba ipanga bila sababu. Hwa huje ulitumwa wa Ngolobhe, owalipe eshisasi hwikuni humwanya yola wabhomba embibhi.
For he is a minister of God for you unto good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid. For it is not without reason that he carries a sword. For he is a minister of God; an avenger to execute wrath upon whomever does evil.
5 Hwe lyo ohwaziwa ahwiyishe, sehwisababu yekuni, huje nahwe sababu yesebho.
For this reason, it is necessary to be subject, not solely because of wrath, but also because of conscience.
6 Hwaajili yega olipa ekodi. Hwa huje bhebhali ne mamlaka bhatumwa bha Ngolobhe, ebho bhabha hwedelesha abhombe embombo ene.
Therefore, you must also offer tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving him in this.
7 Bhapeli kila omo hala habhadayi: nkakodi hwu kodi; nkaushuli hwaziwa ushulu; nkawoga uwaziwa waaga; nkanshinshi ehwaziwa nshinshi.
Therefore, render to all whatever is owed. Taxes, to whom taxes is due; revenue, to whom revenue is due; fear, to whom fear is due; honor, to whom honor is due.
8 Mgajedaiwe no mutu ahantu hohoti, hahahwaziwa oluganano mwemwe hwa mwemwe. Hwa huje olawagene oparamani wakwe amalile ikalata.
You should owe nothing to anyone, except so as to love one another. For whoever loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Hwa huje, “Sagaobhabhombe umalaya, sagaobhagoje, sagaobhahwibhe, sagaobhazilishe,” na kashile ehweli endajizo eyamwabho yope, emanyishe ashilile eli: “Obhahugane oparamani waho nashi wewe umwene.”
For example: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not speak false testimony. You shall not covet. And if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
10 OLugano sagabhibhi hwa paramani hwa muntu. Hwelyo ulugano malishilo hwe nkalata.
The love of neighbor does no harm. Therefore, love is the plenitude of the law.
11 Hwu sababu yeli, mmenye uwakati, huje hufishile wakati wafume muntulo. Huje olokole wetu ufishile papepe nu wakati wula owelweteshelo olwewandilo.
And we know the present time, that now is the hour for us to rise up from sleep. For already our salvation is closer than when we first believed.
12 Nusiku hwendeleye, nusanya upalamiye. Tibheshe ashenje amadala agenkisi, tikwate esilaha ezye lukhozyo.
The night has passed, and the day draws near. Therefore, let us cast aside the works of darkness, and be clothed with the armor of light.
13 Nativalaje shinza shinza, nashi mlukhozyo saganashi eshikulukulu eshembibhi nashi akholwe. Natigajebhale humbibhi nashi azilishe saga ugawezya aimale, nashi ashilile uwivu ne jela.
Let us walk honestly, as in the daylight, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and sexual immorality, not in contention and envy.
14 Huje tikwale Ogosi oYesu Kilisti, natiga jebheshe idala ashilile obele, huzilisyo zyakwe.
Instead, be clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in its desires.
