¹Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

¹ Tilas kala boro kulu ma nga boŋ ye ganda hinkoyey se, zama dabari kulu si no kaŋ manti Irikoy do no a fun. Hinkoyey kaŋ go no mo, Irikoy no k'i waadu.

²Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

² Woodin sabbay se, boro kaŋ goono ga wangu hini, Irikoy waado no a goono ga wangu. Borey kaŋ ga wangu mo ga kande ciiti ngey boŋ.

³For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

³ Zama koyey manti humburkumay hariyaŋ no goy hanno teeko se, kala day goy laalo teeko se. Ni ga ba ma si humburu hinkoy, wala? To, kala ni ma hari hanno te, a ga saabu ni se mo.

⁴For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

⁴ Zama nga wo Irikoy goy-teeri no ni se ni boriyandiyaŋo se. Amma da ni goono ga goy laalo te, ma humburu. Zama manti yaamo no a go ga takuba jare bo. Zama nga wo Irikoy goy-teeri no kaŋ ga dukuri bana boro se kaŋ goono ga goy laalo te.

⁵Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

⁵ A se no a ga tilas boro ma nga boŋ ye ganda, manti dukuro sabbay se hinne bo, amma bine lasaabo sabbay se mo.

⁶For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁶ Daliili woodin se no araŋ ga jangal bana mo, zama hinkoyey wo Irikoy goy-teeriyaŋ no a goyo se. I goono ga kookari woodin ra waati kulu mo.

⁷Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

⁷ Wa boro kulu no nga wane: jangal, jangal tako se, dwan nooru, dwanyey se. Wa bara nda humburkumay, nga kaŋ to i ma humbur'a se. Wa beerandi mo nga kaŋ to beerandiyaŋ.

⁸Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

⁸ Araŋ ma si bara garawkooniyaŋ boro kulu se, kala day care se baakasinay, zama boro kaŋ ga ba nga gorokasin na asariya toonandi.

⁹For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁹ Zama lordey* kaŋ ne: «Ni ma si zina, ni ma si boro wi, ni ma si zay, ni ma si bini -- » woodin yaŋ da wo kulu kaŋ cindi mo margu sanno wo ra kaŋ ne: «Ni ma ba ni gorokasin danga ni boŋ cine.»

¹⁰Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹⁰ Baakasinay si goy laalo te nga gorokasin se. Woodin sabbay se no baakasinay ya asariya toonandiyaŋ no.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹ Araŋ ma woodin te, za kaŋ araŋ ga alwaato bay. Saaya to gumo kaŋ araŋ ga tun jirbi, zama sohõ faaba maan iri gaa ka bisa alwaato kaŋ iri cimandi.

¹²The 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.

¹² Cino beeri, mo maan boyaŋ. Iri ma kubay te-goyey kaa ka furu, iri ma annura wongu jinayey daŋ.

¹³Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

¹³ Iri m'iri diraw te da daa hanno, sanda zaari kwaaray, manti nda annasuwa wala nda baji haŋ-ka-buguyaŋ, manti nda zina wala furkutaray, manti nda yanje wala canse.

¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

¹⁴ Kal araŋ ma Rabbi Yesu Almasihu faka, araŋ ma si fongu mo nda mate kaŋ araŋ g'araŋ gaaham ibaay laaley kungandi nd'a.
