Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Bhuli moyo gwolobhelega ku bhutunge bhwa ingulu, kulwo kubha bhutalio bhutunge atali bhusokele ku Nyamuanga. No bhutunge bhunu bhulio bhuteyweo na Nyamuanga.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
Kulwejo unu kalema obhutunge obhwo kalema echilagilo cha Nyamuanga; Na bhaliya bhanu abhachilema abhalamila indamu ingulu yebhwe abhene.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
Kwo kubha abhatungi bhatali na makanyo kubhanu abhakola agekisi, nawe kwabho abha kola ebhibhibhi. Angu owenda okuligila okusiga okubhaya obhutunge? kola ganu gali gakisi, nokukusibhwa nago.
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga kwawe ku songa yo bhwekisi nawe ukakola kubhibhi nuubhae Kwo kubha atakuyeka epanga bila nsonga. Kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga, unu kasubhya jisingu kwalisungu ingulu ya ulia unu kakola ebhibhibhi.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
kulwejo jikwiile wolobhe, atali ati kwalisungu -ela nawe one kwa insonga yemitima.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Kwa insonga inu one omulia likondi. okubha abho ni bhatunge bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, abho abhagendelela okukula lisango linu.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Mumuliye bhuli umwi echinu abhabhatonga: Likodi mubhayanega abha likondi; abha mwisoko mubhayanega omuolo; Obhubha bhunu bhwiile okubhaywa; Echibhalo bhanu bheile Echibhalo.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Mwasiga kutongibhwa na munu wona wona, atali okwendana emwe abhene kwa abhene. Kulwo kubha mwenene unu kamwenda omwikashanya wae akumisishe ebhilagilo.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Kulwo kubha, “otakulomela, utakwita, utakwibha, utakuligila,” Na alabha chilio echilagilo echindi one chongesibhwe mu mulugobho lwe misango jinu: “Umwendega omwikashanya wao lwa kutyo awe uli.”
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Okwenda kutakomukolela chibhibhi omwikashanya wo munu. Kwibhyo, okwenda ni kukumisha kwe bhilagilo.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
Kulwa insonga ya linu, omumenya omwanya, ati bhwangu woli nikusoka mu ntilo. kulwo kubha omwelulo gweswe gweliye bhwangu lwo mwanya gulia gunu chekilisishe okwamba.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
Ingeta yangendelela, mumwisi yeliye ayei. Mbe chitule kumbali ebhikolwa bhye chisute, na chifwale ebhigwato bhyo bhwelu.
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
Chilibhatega lwa kutyo kuchiile, lwa mu bhwelu, atali lwo lumula lwe bhibhibhi amwi obhutamiji. Na chisigega okulibhatila mu bhumaya amwi mu namba inu itakutula kugonywa, na atali mu bhusoko amwi mwifuwa.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Mbe nawe chimufwale Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, na chisige okutayo emoyo jeswe ingulu ye emibhili, na mu namba jae.
