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 unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

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

Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

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 good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of 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 good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.

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

Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, 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.

For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon 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; honour to whom honour.

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

Owe no man any thing, but 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 this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, (logos) namely, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

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

Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) 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 that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to 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 spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour 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 honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

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

But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
