Romans 13
1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.
AMEN amen en upa kaun akan, me kin poe irail edi, pwe sota kaun akan me sota sang ren Kot, a wasa kaun akan mia, nan irail me ren Kot.
2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.
Ari, me pan katiwo ong kaun akan kin katiwo ong kusoned en Kot, a me katiwo kan, pan lodi ong kapung.
3 For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.
Pwe saupeidi kan sota kin kamasakki, me kin wia mau, pwe me kin wia me sued. A ma koe sota men masak kaun akan, en wiada me mau, koe ap pan indandeki pa’rail.
4 For he is God’s minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God’s minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.
Pwe a papan Kot o iei me mau ong uk, a ma koe wia me sued, masak, pwe a sota kin wa mal kodlas. Pwe a papan Kot o, pwen kame me wia sued.
5 Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Iei me komail en peiki ong, a kaidin pweki kamekam a pweki insen omail.
6 For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose.
Iei me komail pil wiai ong nopwei, pwe irail me papan Kot, me kin kaukaule papa wet.
7 Render therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honour, to whom honour.
Komail ari kapungala omail pwaipwand ong amen amen! Taksis ong me taksis kin wiaui ong, nopwei ong me nopwei kin wiaui ong; masak, me masak kin ko ong; ki ong wau, me wau kin ko ong.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.
Der pwaipwandeki meakot ong amen; iet eta: Omail limpok pena, pwe me kin pok ong amen, kin kapwaiada kapung o.
9 For Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Pwe iet akan: Koe der kamal! Koe der kamela aramas! Koe der pirap! Koe der norok! O ma pil eu kusoned mia, iet orlepa: Koe en pok ong men imp om due pein uk!
10 The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law.
Limpok sota kin wia sued ong men imp a. Ari, limpok audepan kapung.
11 And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
O pil met: Kitail en dedeki duen ansau o, pwe auer leler, me kitail en pirida sang mair, pwe ansaun atail dorela me koren sang ni tapin atail poson.
12 The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.
Pongpong daulier, a ran me korendor. Kitail en pwilikidi wiawian rotorot akan, ap ale tatan marain.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy:
Kitail en kekeid ni tiak mau, pwe ni ran; der kaped en manga de kamom soko, der samin de saut, de luak, de peirin.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.
A komail ale Kaun Iesus Kristus, o der kangongala pali uduk, pwen angeda a inong sued.
