Roma 13
1 Na kogha dortu uliru nago, na nton tigo duku sa uyinnu Kutellẹ ba; Kutellẹ ameri unan ni tigo.
Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but from God: the authorities that are, have been appointed by God.
2 Bara. nani ule na yasa tigo ayasa Kutellẹ, tutun anan kiyasa tigo iba sunani ushara.
Therefore, he that resists the authority, resists the appointment of God; and those who resist shall receive to themselves condemnation.
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 terror to works that are good, but to those which are evil. Will you, then, not be afraid of the authority? Do that which is good, and you shall receive praise from the same.
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 minister of God to you for that which is good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain. For he is the minister of God to inflict punishment on him that does evil.
5 Bara nani ibasuu udurtun nlirun nliru na bara unanu nayii Kutellẹ chas ba har nin lamiri wong.
Wherefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of punishment, but also for conscience sake.
6 Bara nani in bizu nah id ugandu wang. Inun agowe achin Kutellẹ ari alle idin suil ille imone kokome kubi.
On this very account, too, pay tribute also: for they are the public servants of God, attending continually to this very thing.
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.
Render, therefore, to all their dues; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor is due.
8 Na Iwa min umon imonimon ba, yinan nin linuana. Ulẹ na ayina nin na lisosin kopome akulo uduka.
Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled 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.”
For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
10 Na uyinnu nya uta ulanza unan kupofe ukul ba. Bara nani, uyinnu nso likulun indukari.
Love works no evil to our neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
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.
And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed:
12 Kitik ndo piit, kiti nan na shanta. Bara nani na tifilin imon nsirti, tishon imon likum nkanang.
the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of 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.
Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in contention and in envy:
14 Bara nani tan Chikilari Yisa Kristi, na iwa pun kuna niyizi nadadu kidowo ba.
but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
