Rimljanom 13
1 Naj bo vsaka duša podrejena višjim oblastem. Kajti ni oblasti, razen od Boga; oblasti, ki so, so odrejene od Boga.
Let every soule submit him selfe vnto the auctorite of ye hyer powers. For there is no power but of God.
2 Kdorkoli se torej upira oblasti, se upira Božji odredbi in tisti, ki se upirajo, bodo sebi prejeli obsodbo.
The powers that be are ordeyned of God. Whosoever therfore resysteth power resisteth the ordinaunce of God. And they that resist shall receave to the selfe damnacio.
3 Kajti vladarji niso strahota dobrim delom, temveč zlim. Se torej ne boš bal oblasti? Delaj to, kar je dobro in imel boš pohvalo od nje;
For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same.
4 kajti ona je Božja služabnica, tebi v dobro. Toda če počneš to, kar je zlo, se boj, ker meča ne nosi zaman; kajti Božja služabnica je, maščevalka, da izvrši bes nad tistim, ki počenja zlo.
For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll.
5 Zatorej morate biti nujno podrejeni, ne samo zaradi besa, temveč tudi zaradi vesti.
Wherfore ye must nedes obeye not for feare of vengeaunce only: but also because of conscience.
6 Kajti zaradi tega razloga tudi plačujete davek, kajti oni so Božji služabniki, ki nenehno skrbijo prav za to stvar.
And even for this cause paye ye tribute. For they are goddes ministers servynge for the same purpose.
7 Povrnite torej vsem njihove dolgove: davek, komur gre davek, carino, komur carino, strah, komur strah, spoštovanje, komur spoštovanje.
Geve to every man therfore his duetie: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custome to whom custome is due: feare to whom feare belongeth: Honoure to who honoure pertayneth
8 Nobenemu človeku ničesar ne dolgujte, razen da ljubite drug drugega; kajti kdor ljubi drugega, je izpolnil postavo.
Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe.
9 Zaradi tega: ›Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva, ‹ ›Ne boš ubil, ‹ ›Ne boš kradel, ‹ ›Ne boš pričal po krivem, ‹ ›Ne boš požêlel; ‹ in če obstaja katera druga zapoved, je le-ta na kratko obsežena v tej besedi, namreč: ›Ljubil boš svojega bližnjega kakor samega sebe.‹
For these commaundementes: Thou shalt not comit advoutry: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Thou shalt not desyre and so forth (yf there be eny other comaundement) they are all comprehended in this sayinge: Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.
10 Ljubezen svojemu bližnjemu ne dela škode; torej je ljubezen izpolnitev postave.
Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe.
11 In ker poznamo čas, da je sedaj skrajni čas, da se prebudimo iz spanja, kajti sedaj je naša rešitev duš bližje, kakor ko smo [začeli] verovati.
This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved.
12 Noč je davno minila, dan je blizu. Odvrzimo torej dela teme in si nadenimo bojno opremo svetlobe.
The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght.
13 Živimo pošteno, kakor podnevi; ne v upornosti in pijanosti, ne v nespodobnosti in razuzdanosti, ne v prepiru in zavisti.
Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge and drinkynge: nether in chamburynge and wantannes: nether in stryfe and envyinge:
14 Temveč si nadenite Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in ne delajte si preskrbe za meso, da [bi] izpolnili poželenja le-tega.
but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it.
