Послание к Римлянам 13
1 Всяка душа властем предержащым да повинуется: несть бо власть аще не от Бога, сущыя же власти от Бога учинены суть.
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
2 Темже противляяйся власти, Божию повелению противляется: противляющиися же себе грех приемлют.
Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3 Князи бо не суть боязнь добрым делом, но злым. Хощеши же ли не боятися власти? Благое твори, и имети будеши похвалу от него:
For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.
4 Божий бо слуга есть, тебе во благое. Аще ли злое твориши, бойся, не бо без ума мечь носит: Божий бо слуга есть, отмститель в гнев злое творящему.
For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
5 Темже потреба повиноватися не токмо за гнев, но и за совесть.
Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6 Сего бо ради и дани даете: служители бо Божии суть, во истое сие пребывающе.
This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
7 Воздадите убо всем должная: емуже (убо) урок, урок: (а) емуже дань, дань: (а) емуже страх, страх: (и) емуже честь, честь.
Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
8 Ни единому же ничимже должни бывайте, точию еже любити друг друга: любяй бо друга, закон исполни.
Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9 Еже бо: не прелюбы сотвориши, не убиеши, не украдеши, не лжесвидетелствуеши, не похощеши, и аще кая ина заповедь, в сем словеси совершается, во еже: возлюбиши искренняго твоего, якоже сам себе.
The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Любы искреннему зла не творит. Исполнение убо закона любы есть.
Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11 И сие, ведяще время, яко час уже нам от сна востати. Ныне бо ближайшее нам спасение, нежели егда веровахом.
And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12 Нощь убо прейде, а день приближися: отложим убо дела темная, и облечемся во оружие света.
The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13 Яко во дни, благообразно да ходим, не козлогласовании и пиянствы, не любодеянии и студодеянии, не рвением и завистию:
Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14 но облецытеся Господем нашим Иисус Христом, и плоти угодия не творите в похоти.
Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
