Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Kila nafsi naibhe nahwishe hwa bhabhali pamwanya, hwahuje nomoo awemelelele hwahuje efumile hwa Ngolobhe. Ne mamlaka zyezihweli zibhehwelwe no Ngolobhe.
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgement.
Hwola waikhana emamlaka eyo akhana ndapizyo zya Ngolobhe; na bhala bhabhayikhana bhenzeyiposhele aloongwe humwanya yabho bhebho.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
Hwa huje alongozi sebhatisizya hwabhala bhabhabhomba aminza, huje hwabhala bhabhabhomba embibhi. Huje oziliha kutohwogope abhe mamlaka? Bhombaga gagali miza, na bhenze huntufyee hwego.
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
Hwa huje ulitumwa wa Ngolobhe waho hwaajili yemiza. Nkashile obhabhombe gagali mabhibhi, ogopa; hwa huje sagabeba ipanga bila sababu. Hwa huje ulitumwa wa Ngolobhe, owalipe eshisasi hwikuni humwanya yola wabhomba embibhi.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Hwe lyo ohwaziwa ahwiyishe, sehwisababu yekuni, huje nahwe sababu yesebho.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
Hwaajili yega olipa ekodi. Hwa huje bhebhali ne mamlaka bhatumwa bha Ngolobhe, ebho bhabha hwedelesha abhombe embombo ene.
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.
Bhapeli kila omo hala habhadayi: nkakodi hwu kodi; nkaushuli hwaziwa ushulu; nkawoga uwaziwa waaga; nkanshinshi ehwaziwa nshinshi.
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
Mgajedaiwe no mutu ahantu hohoti, hahahwaziwa oluganano mwemwe hwa mwemwe. Hwa huje olawagene oparamani wakwe amalile ikalata.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
Hwa huje, “Sagaobhabhombe umalaya, sagaobhagoje, sagaobhahwibhe, sagaobhazilishe,” na kashile ehweli endajizo eyamwabho yope, emanyishe ashilile eli: “Obhahugane oparamani waho nashi wewe umwene.”
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbour. Love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
OLugano sagabhibhi hwa paramani hwa muntu. Hwelyo ulugano malishilo hwe nkalata.
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
Hwu sababu yeli, mmenye uwakati, huje hufishile wakati wafume muntulo. Huje olokole wetu ufishile papepe nu wakati wula owelweteshelo olwewandilo.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armour of light.
Nusiku hwendeleye, nusanya upalamiye. Tibheshe ashenje amadala agenkisi, tikwate esilaha ezye lukhozyo.
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
Nativalaje shinza shinza, nashi mlukhozyo saganashi eshikulukulu eshembibhi nashi akholwe. Natigajebhale humbibhi nashi azilishe saga ugawezya aimale, nashi ashilile uwivu ne jela.
14 But put on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
Huje tikwale Ogosi oYesu Kilisti, natiga jebheshe idala ashilile obele, huzilisyo zyakwe.
