Roma 13
1 Na kogha dortu uliru nago, na nton tigo duku sa uyinnu Kutellẹ ba; Kutellẹ ameri unan ni tigo.
Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him.
2 Bara. nani ule na yasa tigo ayasa Kutellẹ, tutun anan kiyasa tigo iba sunani ushara.
Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.
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 judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire--do you not? --to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.
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 God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant--an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.
5 Bara nani ibasuu udurtun nlirun nliru na bara unanu nayii Kutellẹ chas ba har nin lamiri wong.
We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape 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.
Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.
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.
Pay promptly to all men what is due to them: taxes to those to whom taxes are due, toll to those to whom toll is due, respect to those to whom respect is due, honour to those to whom honour is due.
8 Na Iwa min umon imonimon ba, yinan nin linuana. Ulẹ na ayina nin na lisosin kopome akulo uduka.
Owe nothing to any one except mutual love; for he who loves his fellow man has satisfied the demands of 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 the precepts, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt do no murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command, "Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thou lovest thyself."
10 Na uyinnu nya uta ulanza unan kupofe ukul ba. Bara nani, uyinnu nso likulun indukari.
Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to 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.
Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.
12 Kitik ndo piit, kiti nan na shanta. Bara nani na tifilin imon nsirti, tishon imon likum nkanang.
The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with 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.
Living as we do in broad daylight, let us conduct ourselves becomingly, not indulging in revelry and drunkenness, nor in lust and debauchery, nor in quarrelling and jealousy.
14 Bara nani tan Chikilari Yisa Kristi, na iwa pun kuna niyizi nadadu kidowo ba.
On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings.
