varumi 13
1 inumbula jojoni jivisaghe nu vwitiki ku vutavulua vwa pa nkyanya ulwakuva kusila vutavulua, neke luhumile kwa Nguluve. ni navulua sino pwesili sivikilue nu Nguluve.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 pe lino juno isigha uvutavulua uvuo isiggha ululaghilo lwa Nguluve; vope vano visigha vilikwupila uvuhighi vwave.
Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 ulwakuva avatemi na ve vikwoghofia ku vano vivomba inono, looli ku vano vivomba uvuhosi. pe ghunoghua kuleka ku kwoghopa uvutavulua?
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:
4 vombagha sino sinoghile pe ghulighinisivua naso. ulwakuva ghwe m'bombi ghwa Nguluve ghwako vwimila amanono. neke nave ghuvumba isa vuhosi, oghopa; ulwakuva naipinda ulubamba kisila nkole. ulwakuva ghwe m'bombi ghwa Nguluve ihombekesia ing'alasi kwa juno ivomba uvuhosi.
For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
5 pe jitunoghile uvwitiki, nakwekuti ku ng'alasi jene, looli vwimila uvufumbue.
Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 vwimila ili kange ghuhomba isongo ulwakuva avanya vutavulua ve vavombi va Nguluve, vano vighendelela kuvomba ili.
For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 muvahombaghe vooni vano vikuvadaja isongo kwa juno anoghiile kuhombua isongo; isongo kwa juno anoghiile; uvwoghofi kwa juno alinuvwoghofi; iheshima kwa juno anoghiile.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 namungadajivuaghe ikinu kyokyoni kwa muunhu, looli kughanana jumue kwa jumue. ulwakuva umwene huno ikumughana ughwa pa vupipi avombile isa mundaghilo.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 ulwakuva, “naghuli fwafuka anaghulibuda, naghulihija, naghulinoghelua,” nave kuli nu lulaghili ulunge kange lulilumo mumasio agha kuuti, '“umughanaghe ughwa pavupipi pako ndavele ghukujighana juve”.
For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, (logos) namely, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
10 ulughano nalukumpika umunhu ughwa pavupipi pako. pe lino ulughano vwe vunywilifu vwa ndaghilo.
Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
11 mu ulu ghukagula unsiki kuuti, ghwe nsiki ghwa kuhuma mu tulu. ulwakuva uvuvangi vwitu vuli pipi, kukila unsiki ghwa kwanda ghula, ghuno tulyale vitiki.
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 ikilo jighendelile ni mwisi jilipipi. tuvike palubale isa mu ng'iisi, pe tufwale ifilwilo fya lumuli.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 tulutaghe lwelwene, ndavule mu lumuli sio kufikulukulu fya vuhosi nu vughasi. natungalutilaghe mu vuvwkafu nambe inogheluo sino ndeponu nasisighua, nakwekuuti ku kituule naambe vwifu
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 looli umfwale uMutwa Yesu Kilisite, kange natungavikaghe inafasi vwimila um'bili mu nogheluo saake.
But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
