Bharumi 13
1 Bhuli moyo gwolobhelega ku bhutunge bhwa ingulu, kulwo kubha bhutalio bhutunge atali bhusokele ku Nyamuanga. No bhutunge bhunu bhulio bhuteyweo na Nyamuanga.
Let every soul be obedient to higher authorities, for there is no authority unless it comes from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
2 Kulwejo unu kalema obhutunge obhwo kalema echilagilo cha Nyamuanga; Na bhaliya bhanu abhachilema abhalamila indamu ingulu yebhwe abhene.
Therefore he who resists that authority opposes the command of God; and those who oppose it will receive judgment on themselves.
3 Kwo kubha abhatungi bhatali na makanyo kubhanu abhakola agekisi, nawe kwabho abha kola ebhibhibhi. Angu owenda okuligila okusiga okubhaya obhutunge? kola ganu gali gakisi, nokukusibhwa nago.
For rulers are not a terror to good deeds, but to evil deeds. Do you desire to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will receive his approval.
4 kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga kwawe ku songa yo bhwekisi nawe ukakola kubhibhi nuubhae Kwo kubha atakuyeka epanga bila nsonga. Kwo kubha ni mukosi wa Nyamuanga, unu kasubhya jisingu kwalisungu ingulu ya ulia unu kakola ebhibhibhi.
For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he does not carry the sword for no reason. For he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath on the one who does evil.
5 kulwejo jikwiile wolobhe, atali ati kwalisungu -ela nawe one kwa insonga yemitima.
Therefore you must obey, not only because of the wrath, but also because of conscience.
6 Kwa insonga inu one omulia likondi. okubha abho ni bhatunge bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, abho abhagendelela okukula lisango linu.
Because of this you pay taxes also. For authorities are servants of God, who attend to this very thing continually.
7 Mumuliye bhuli umwi echinu abhabhatonga: Likodi mubhayanega abha likondi; abha mwisoko mubhayanega omuolo; Obhubha bhunu bhwiile okubhaywa; Echibhalo bhanu bheile Echibhalo.
Pay to everyone what is owed to them. Tax to whom tax is due, toll to whom toll is due; fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.
8 Mwasiga kutongibhwa na munu wona wona, atali okwendana emwe abhene kwa abhene. Kulwo kubha mwenene unu kamwenda omwikashanya wae akumisishe ebhilagilo.
Owe no one anything, except to love one another. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Kulwo kubha, “otakulomela, utakwita, utakwibha, utakuligila,” Na alabha chilio echilagilo echindi one chongesibhwe mu mulugobho lwe misango jinu: “Umwendega omwikashanya wao lwa kutyo awe uli.”
The commandments: “Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not covet,” and if there is any other commandment also, it is summed up in this sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Okwenda kutakomukolela chibhibhi omwikashanya wo munu. Kwibhyo, okwenda ni kukumisha kwe bhilagilo.
Love does not harm one's neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.
11 Kulwa insonga ya linu, omumenya omwanya, ati bhwangu woli nikusoka mu ntilo. kulwo kubha omwelulo gweswe gweliye bhwangu lwo mwanya gulia gunu chekilisishe okwamba.
Because of this, you know the time, that it is already time for you to awake out of sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
12 Ingeta yangendelela, mumwisi yeliye ayei. Mbe chitule kumbali ebhikolwa bhye chisute, na chifwale ebhigwato bhyo bhwelu.
The night has advanced, and the day has come near. Let us therefore put aside the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Chilibhatega lwa kutyo kuchiile, lwa mu bhwelu, atali lwo lumula lwe bhibhibhi amwi obhutamiji. Na chisigega okulibhatila mu bhumaya amwi mu namba inu itakutula kugonywa, na atali mu bhusoko amwi mwifuwa.
Let us walk appropriately, as in the day, not in drunken celebrations or drunkenness; and let us not walk in sexual immorality or in uncontrolled lust, and not in strife or jealousy.
14 Mbe nawe chimufwale Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, na chisige okutayo emoyo jeswe ingulu ye emibhili, na mu namba jae.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.
