Roma 13

1 Na kogha dortu uliru nago, na nton tigo duku sa uyinnu Kutellẹ ba; Kutellẹ ameri unan ni tigo.

Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

2 Bara. nani ule na yasa tigo ayasa Kutellẹ, tutun anan kiyasa tigo iba sunani ushara.

For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

3 Agọ na imon fiuwari ba kiti nanan su nmon kine imon ufiu kiti nnanan sunimon inanzang na aye difi ulanza fiu na nan tigo ba? suu imon meichine ubase liruu kitime.

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

4 Ame kuching kulelle kitimine inanzang lanza yi, na adin mmizinu liyop. hem naninb. Ame kuchin. Kutellẹ ulena aba tunnu tinana na kiti nlena adiṣu inlmon inanza.

For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

5 Bara nani ibasuu udurtun nlirun nliru na bara unanu nayii Kutellẹ chas ba har nin lamiri wong.

So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

6 Bara nani in bizu nah id ugandu wang. Inun agowe achin Kutellẹ ari alle idin suil ille imone kokome kubi.

For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

7 Nan kọghaku ule imon na adin dortu munu, ini anan mmyen ungandu mmyen mine lazan fiu nslale na ibati ilanza fiu mine, nghantinan anan nun ighanlin nani.

Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

8 Na Iwa min umon imonimon ba, yinan nin linuana. Ulẹ na ayina nin na lisosin kopome akulo uduka.

Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law.

9 Inna woro, “Na iwa nozo nan nawani nanit ba. Na uwa molu unit ba. Na uwa su likiri ba. Na uwa suu ivira ba. “tutun andi imon uduka duku, vat umala nan nyanlẹ ulirẹ: “uba yinnu nin nan kupo nafo litife.”

And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

10 Na uyinnu nya uta ulanza unan kupofe ukul ba. Bara nani, uyinnu nso likulun indukari.

Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete.

11 Bara nani, kubin daduru, kubiko na kogha ma fitu nmoro. Nene utuchu bite nda susut nanghrik ukati. kubi kone na tiwa burun serun nlirẹ.

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

12 Kitik ndo piit, kiti nan na shanta. Bara nani na tifilin imon nsirti, tishon imon likum nkanang.

The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

13 Na ti chinu dert, nafo nin lirin, na in nan nya nkpehirzunu sa usọ nadadu ahemhem, na nin halin zina sa nan nya kunanizi kunanza, nin kubun kunanza sa inshina.

With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy.

14 Bara nani tan Chikilari Yisa Kristi, na iwa pun kuna niyizi nadadu kidowo ba.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.
