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.
Namni kam iyyuu warra taayitaa bulchiinsaa irra jiran jalatti buluu qaba; yoo Waaqa irraa taʼe malee taayitaa qabaachuun hin dandaʼamuutii. Warra taayitaa qaban Waaqatu muude.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
Kanaafuu namni abbootii taayitaatiin mormu sirna Waaqaatiin morma; warri akkas godhanis murtii ofitti fidu.
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,
Bulchitoonni warra waan hamaa hojjetan malee warra waan gaarii hojjetan hin sodaachisan. Ati akka nama taayitaa qabu hin sodaanne ni barbaaddaa? Egaa waan gaarii hojjedhu; inni iyyuu si galateeffataatii.
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
Inni waan gaarii siif gochuudhaaf tajaajilaa Waaqaatii. Ati garuu yoo waan hamaa hojjette sodaadhu; inni akkasumaan goraadee hin qabatuutii. Inni tajaajilaa Waaqaa kan warra waan hamaa hojjetan irratti dheekkamsa fiduun haaloo baasuu dha.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Kanaafuu sababii dheekkamsaa qofaaf utuu hin taʼin, yaada qulqulluudhaan warra taayitaa irra jiran jalatti buluun barbaachisaa dha.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Isinis kanumaaf qaraxa baaftu; abbootiin taayitaa tajaajiltoota Waaqaa warra yeroo isaanii guutuu hojii bulchiinsaatiif kennaniidhaatii.
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.
Waan nama hundaaf kennuun isin irra jiru kennaa; yoo qaraxa taʼe qaraxa, yoo gibira taʼe immoo gibira baasaa; yoo sodaachuu taʼe sodaadhaa; yoo ulfina kennuu taʼes, ulfina kennaa.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Isin wal jaallachuu malee gatii tokko illee of irraa hin qabaatinaa; namni nama biraa jaallatu kam iyyuu seera raawwateeraatii.
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.”
Ajajawwan, “Hin ejjin; hin ajjeesin; hin hatin; hin hawwin” jedhanii fi ajajni biraas seera, “Ollaa kee akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu” jedhu kanaan walitti guduunfamu.
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
Jaalalli ollaa isaa hin miidhu. Kanaafuu jaalalli raawwii seeraa ti.
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.
Yeroon isin hirribaa dammaqxan amma akka taʼe hubadhaa. Yeroo nu itti amanne sana caalaa fayyinni keenya amma nutti dhiʼaateeraatii.
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.
Halkan bariʼuu gaʼeera; guyyaanis dhiʼaateera. Kanaafuu hojii dukkanaa of irraa gannee miʼa lolaa kan ifaa haa hidhannu.
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.
Kottaa akka yeroo guyyaatti amala gaariin haa jiraannu; addaggummaa fi machiidhaan miti; jireenya sagaagalummaa fi gad dhiisiitiin miti; wal loluu fi hinaaffaadhaan miti.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Qooda kanaa Yesuus Kiristoos Goofticha uffadhaa; akka itti hawwii foonii gammachiiftan hin yaadinaa.
