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.
Kila mundu aukunde upalume utagwala gula, pabha gwakwa upalume gogowe ukabhikwa na a Nnungu, na ukulungwa gogowe upali gula ushibhikwa na a Nnungu.
2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Kwa nneyo akuntauka kalongolele anatauka ya kupinga a Nnungu, numbe bhaatendanga nneyo shibhaukumulwanje.
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:
Pabha bhakwetenje ukulungwa bhakakwaajogoyanga bhatendanga ya mmbone, ikabhe bhatendanga itendi yangali ya mmbone. Bhai bhuli nnipinga nnaajogope bhakwete ukulungwa? Ntende ya mmbone, penepo shibhannumbilile.
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.
Pabha bhenebho ni bhatumishi bha a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya kuntendela mmwe ya mmbone. Ikabheje, ntendaga yangali ya mmbone, penepo shumwaajogope, pabha bhashikola mashili ga ukumula. Bhenebho bhanakwatumishila a Nnungu kwa kwaaukumulanga mboteko bhatendanga yangali ya mmbone.
5 Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Kwa nneyo inapinjikwa kwaakundanga bhakwetenje ukulungwa gogowe, nngabha kwa ligongo lya jogopa ukumu ja mboteko, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo ya muntima.
6 For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Kwa ligongo lyolyo nnalipanga koli, pabha bhanganyabho ni bhakamula liengo bha a Nnungu na mubhalonjeyanga nniengo lyolyo.
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.
Mumpanganje kila mundu malinga shiikupinjikwa. Nkamula koli, apegwe koli. Nkulonga upambi, apegwe upambi. Apinjikwa kuishimiwa, aishimiwe. Apinjikwa kukuywa, akuywe.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Nnakolanje ligambo kuka mundu jojowe, ikabhe ligambo lya pinganape, pabha akumpinga nnjakwe anakamula shalia ja Musha.
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.
Pabha yene amulii, “Unalabhelabhe eu Unabhulaje eu Unalokolile,” na amuli ina yowe, inamalila kwa kamula amuli jimo, “Gumpinje ntami nnjako malinga shukwiipinga gwamwene.”
10 Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
Pabha gumpingaga ntami nnjako, ukantendela yangali ya mmbone. Bhai, kupingana ni kutimilila kwa shalia.
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.
Mmumanyanje kuti malanga ga jumuka gaishe, na nnaino malanga ga ntapulo gwetu gabhandishile kwa kaje, kupunda mobha gutwatandwibhe kulupalila.
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.
Shilo shikakabha mala, na mui unabhandishila, bhai tuileshe itendi ya nnubhindu, niwala ikomanilo ya nshilangaya.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Malinga shiikupinjikwa tenda mui, tutame kwa tungamana, nngabha kwa doka, kolelwa, kwetela, labhalabha, mipwai na lupimililo.
14 But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
Ikabhe nnundananje na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu mbuti shiwalo shenunji, wala nnaganishiyanje ga ilokoli ya nshiilu ikumpinganga ntendanje yambi.
