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.
Mwet nukewa enenu in akos mwet kol fin acn uh, mweyen God mukena pa sang ku nu sin mwet inge, ac wal fulat inge ma oakwuk sin God.
2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Mwet se fin lain ku lun acn uh el lain oakwuk lun God; ac el sifacna oru in nununkeyuk el.
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:
Elos su oru ma wo elos tia sangeng sin mwet kol fin acn uh, a elos na su oru ma koluk. Kom fin lungse in tia sangeng sin mwet kol fulat, na oru ma wo, ac el ac fah kaksakin kom,
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.
mweyen el mwet kulansap lun God in akwoye kom. Tusruktu kom fin orekma koluk, fal kom in sangeng sel mweyen oasr suwohs lal in kai kom. El mwet kulansap lun God, ac el akkalemye mulat lun God nu selos su orekma koluk.
5 Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Ke sripa se inge kowos enenu in akos mwet kol fin acn uh — tia ke sripen kowos sangen ke kaiyuk lun God mukena, a mweyen kowos sifacna etu insiowos lah pa inge ma suwohs.
6 For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Pa pac inge sripa se ma pwanang kowos in moli tax, mweyen mwet kol fin acn uh elos orekma nu sin God ke elos akfalye ma kunalos.
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.
Ke ma inge, kowos in akfalye kutena kain in tax ma oakwuk nu suwos in moli; ac akkalemye akfulat ac sunak lowos nu selos nukewa.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Kowos in tia soemoul nu sin kutena mwet — soemoul sefanna ma oasr yuruwos pa lungse sie sin sie. El su lungse mwet ngia el akfalye Ma Sap lal Moses.
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.
Ma sap uh fahk: “Nik kom kosro; nik kom akmas; nik kom pisrapasr; nik kom rapku” — ma inge nukewa, ac kutena ma sap saya, tukeni oan ye ma sap sefanna: “Kom fah lungse mwet tulan lom oana ke kom lungse kom sifacna.”
10 Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
Kom fin lungse sie mwet, kom ac tiana orekma koluk nu sel; ke ma inge lungse el mwe akfalye nufon ma sapkinyuk in Ma Sap uh.
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.
Kowos enenu in oru ouinge, mweyen kowos etu lah pacl fuka inge: pacl in ngutalik liki motul. Tuh pacl se God El ac fah molikutla fototo me in pacl inge, liki ke kut tufahna mutawauk in lulalfongi ke Jesus Christ.
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.
Fong uh akuran in safla, ac len uh apkuran me. Lela kut in tila oru orekma lun lohsr uh, ac lela kut in srukak kufwen mwe mweun lun kalem.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Lela ouiyen moul lasr uh in suwohs, oana mwet su moul in kalem lun len — tia oror koluk ku sruhi, tia oru elahn kosro ku kutena lumah fohkfok, tia pac anwuk ku sok.
14 But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
A kowos in eis Leum Jesus Christ tuh in oana mwe loeyuk lun mweun, ac tia sifil suk in akfalyela ma kena lun ikwa.
