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.
Bika kadika mutu katumimina bapfumu bila kipfumu kioso kuidi Nzambi kieta ba ayi bapfumu zioso Nzambi wuzibieka.
2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Diawu woso mutu wummanga tumimina bapfumu buna kakadi kinzika lutumunu lu Nzambi. Bobo bankambu tumamananga bela tambula thumbudulu.
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:
Bila batu beti vanga mamboti bamonanga bapfumu boma ko; vayi batu bobo beti vanga mambu mambimbi bawu beta kuzimona boma. A buevi, mengi monanga bapfumu boma e? Vanganga kaka mamboti buna ziela kuniemisa.
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.
Bila bapfumu badi bisadi bi Nzambi mu diambu di mamboti maku. Vayi enati mambu mambimbi weti vanga buna bika wumona boma bila bika sia ti mu phamba kasimbididi mbedi. Bila niandi widi kisadi ki Nzambi mu diambu di monisa zinganzi zi Nzambi kuidi woso mutu wumvanganga mambimbi.
5 Wherefore all of you must essentially be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Diawu bulutidi mboti mu tumamana; bika sia ti mu diambu di tina thumbudulu vayi mu diambu di mayindu ma ntima.
6 For for this cause pay all of you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Diawu diodi lumfutilanga ziphaku bila bapfumu badi bisadi bi Nzambi; zieti yekula thangu awu yoso mu tumina.
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.
Luvana kuidi kadika mutu kioki kikafueti tambula: ziphaku zi malu kuidi fueti tambula ziawu; ziphaku zi bima kuidi fueti tambula ziawu; nzitusu kuidi fueti zitusu; nkembo kuidi fueti kemboso.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Lubika ba pholo kuidi mutu, vayi luzolasananga kaka beno na beno. Bila mutu wowo wunzolanga bankaka niandi dukisidi Mina.
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.
Bila masonama ti: wulendi vanga kitsuza ko; wulendi vonda ko, wulendi yiba ko; wulendi zinina ko. Mina miomi minkaka mikangama mu muina wumosi wawu: Zola ndiaku banga ngeyo veka.
10 Love (agape) works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love (agape) is the fulfilling of the law.
Mutu wowo wunzolanga, kavangilanga ndiandi mbimbi ko. Diawu diodi ngeyo zola buna wulembo kinzika Mina mioso.
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.
Luvanga bobo bu luzebi thangu mbi tueka. Thangu yitufueti kotukila yifueni bila phulusu yi tufikimini viokila mu thangu tuwilukila.
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.
Builu bueka manisa ayi buisi bueka nkia. Diawu tulozanu mavanga ma tombi vayi bika tuvuata binduanunu bi kiezila.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Bika tudiatila mu bufuana, boso bufueni diatulu mu muini bika sia mu zikhini ziviokidi tezo, mu bika phulu yi nua, mu bika kitsuza ayi mambu moso ma tsoni, mu bika minzonza ayi, mu kikhenene.
14 But put all of you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
Vayi luvuata Pfumu Yesu Klisto. Lubika belanga nitu mayindu mu diambu di yukutisa zinzinunu ziandi.
