Warumi 13
1 Muntu wihi atule ni kulyo kuutemi nuukoli migulya akwe, nuutemi wihi upumie kung' wi Tunda. Nuutemi wihi uikilwe ni Tunda.
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.
2 Uyu nukugilya uutemi nuanso, ingi ukugilya utemi wang'a Itunda, nao niugilya akukusingiilya ulumulwa wao ienso.
Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3 kunsoko iatemi singa ikangilyo kuantu niituma nimaza, ingi kuituma mabe. Uloilwe kuluta kugopa ne uutemi? Itume nimaza ukulumbiiligwa.
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,
4 Ingi mitumi wang'wi Tunda kitalako kunsoko amaza, ang'wi ukituma aya nimabe. Ogope, kunsoko shukukenka upanga nitile insonko. Ingi mitumi wang'wi Tunda. Nuipumya utaki kuantu niituma uube.
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.
5 Inonee kutula nikulyo, singa kunsoko autaki, ingi kunsoko nayo nakoli munkolo ako.
Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 kukiila iyi ukulipa impia, kunsoko iakola uhumi ufumi ang'wi Tunda awa nia longolekile kituma ulukani ulu.
For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
7 Mulipi wihi uyu numudaye, ang'wi mpia mumupe impia, ang'wi ahoela mpia ahoele, nuakogopwa, ogopwe, nuikulyo apegwe ikulyo.
Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
8 Leki kudaigwa kitu kihi numuntu, ingi milowe unyenye kua nyenye. Kunsoko uyu nizumuloilwe umunyakisali wake wamikondanilya imiko.
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Kunsoko, shukugoolya, shukubulaga, shukia, shukulowa, ang'wi likoli ilago nilulya likaminkanigwe nili, ukumulowa umunya kisali waka anga uewe nuilowa.
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.”
10 Uulowa shamuaalya umunya kisali nua muntu kululo ulowa ingi wuwo ukondaniili wa miko.
Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11 kunsonko iyi iti mulingile kina apika imatungo nakuhega, mutulo, kunsoko. Uuguniki witu wa hugeela nangulu kukila imatungo ayo naikuhuie ung'wandyo.
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.
12 Utiku walongoleka nu ng'ung'we wahugeela, kuike kumpelo intendo nia kiti, hangi kutugale ishigi ya welu.
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.
13 Hangi kulongoleke muuza, kuzekukoli mu welu, singa muulumbili nuaubi ang'wi ugala magai. Hangi kuleke kulongoleka muugooli a ng'wi nsula nisinga ihumile kugiligwa, hangi singa muwisongeeli nu muwilu.
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.
14 Ingi kumutugale u Kristo hangi kuleke kuika ilyoma kunsoko amuili, kunsula yakwe.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
