Romans 13
1 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.
Bari kowa yayi biyayya da hukuma, saboda babu wata hukuma sai dai in tazo daga Allah; mahukunta da suke nan kuwa daga Allah ne.
2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Saboda da haka duk wanda ya ja hukuma ya ja da dokar Allah; kuma dukan wadanda suka ki hukuma za su sha hukunci.
3 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:
Don kuwa mahukunta ba abin tsoro ne ga masu nagarta ba, amma ga masu aikata laifi. Kuna so ku zama marasa tsoron hukuma? Kuyi abu nagari, zaku sami yabo daga yin hakan.
4 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.
Saboda shi bawan Allah ne a gare ku don nagarta. Amma in kun yi abu mara kyau, kuyi tsoro, saboda ba ya dauke da takobi ba tare da dalili ba. Don shi bawan Allah ne mai saka wa mugu da fushi.
5 Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Saboda haka dole kuyi biyayya, ba don fushi ba, amma saboda lamiri.
6 For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Saboda wannan ne kuke biyan haraji. Don masu mulki bayin Allah ne, wadanda suke yin haka kullum.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Ku bawa kowa hakkinsa; haraji ga mai haraji; kudin fito ga mai fito; tsoro ga wanda ya cancanci tsoro; girma ga wanda cancanci girmamawa.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Kada ku rike bashin kowa, sai dai ku kaunaci juna. Domin duk wanda ya kaunaci dan'uwansa ya cika doka.
9 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.
To, “Kada kuyi zina, kada kuyi kisa, kada kuyi sata, kada kuyi kyashi, idan har akwai wata doka kuma, an takaita ta a wannan jimlar: “Ka kaunaci dan'uwanka kamar kanka.”
10 Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
Kauna bata cutar da makwabci. Domin haka, kauna tace cikar shari'a.
11 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.
Saboda wannan, kun san lokaci yayi, ku farka daga barci. Domin cetonmu yana kusa fiye da yadda muke tsammani.
12 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.
Dare yayi nisa, gari ya kusan wayewa. Don haka, sai mu rabu da ayyukan duhu, mu yafa makaman haske.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Sai muyi tafiya yadda ya kamata, kamar da rana, ba a cikin shashanci ko buguwa ba. Kada kuma muyi tafiya cikin fasikanci da muguwar sha'awa, ba kuma cikin husuma ko kishi ba.
14 But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
Amma ku yafa Ubangiji Yesu Almasihu, kada kuwa ku tanadi halin mutumtaka, don biye wa muguwar sha'awarsa.
