¹Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,

¹Naf waluba ha ka dambayso kuwa amarka sare leh, waayo, amar ma jiro kan Ilaah ka yimaada mooyaane. Kuwa jirana Ilaah baa ka dhigay kuwa amar leh.

²so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God`s ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.

²Sidaas daraaddeed kii diida kan amarka leh wuxuu hor joogsadaa amarka Ilaah, kuwa hor joogsadaana waxay nafahaantooda u heli doonaan xukun.

³For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it,

³Madaxdu cabsi ma geliyaan kuwa shuqul wanaagsan sameeya, kuwa xumaan sameeya mooyaane. Ma waxaad doonaysaa inaadan ka cabsan kan amarka leh? Wax wanaagsan samee, oo ammaan baad ka helaysaa isla isaga.

⁴for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.

⁴Waayo, isagu wuxuu xaggaaga ku yahay midiidinka Ilaah inuu wanaag kuu sameeyo. Laakiinse haddaad xumaan samaysid, cabso, waayo, isagu seefta uma sito sababla'aan. Maxaa yeelay, isagu waa midiidinka Ilaah, oo waa mid cadho kaga aarsada kii xumaan sameeya.

⁵Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience,

⁵Sidaas daraaddeed waa in laga dambeeyo kan amarka leh, mana aha cadhada aawadeed oo keliya, laakiinse waa niyadda aawadeedna.

⁶for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;

⁶Waayo, sababtaas aawadeed waxaad u bixisaan cashuur, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waa midiidinnadii Ilaah oo had iyo goor ka shaqeeya isla waxaas.

⁷render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.

⁷Mid waluba wuxuu idinku leeyahay siiya, kii baad idinku leh, baad siiya, kii cashuur idinku leh, cashuur siiya, kii laga cabsadana, ka cabsada, kii ciso lehna, ciseeya.

⁸To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other — law he hath fulfilled,

⁸Ninna yuusan wax idinku lahaan in midkiinba midka kale jeclaado mooyaane. Waayo, kii deriskiisa jeclaadaa sharciguu oofiyey.

⁹for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;` and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;`

⁹Waayo, amarradan la yidhi, Waa inaanad sinaysan, Waa inaanad qudh gooyn, Waa inaanad waxba xadin, Waa inaanad wax damcin, oo haddii amar kale jirana, waxaa lagu soo koobay hadalkan, Waa inaad deriskaaga u jeclaataa sida naftaada.

¹⁰the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, [is] the fulness of law.

¹⁰Jacaylku xumaan kuma sameeyo deriskiisa; jacaylku haddaba waa oofinta sharciga.

¹¹And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our salvation than when we did believe;

¹¹Oo weliba waad garanaysaan wakhtiga inay haatan tahay saacaddii aad hurdada ka toosi lahaydeen, waayo, haatan ay badbaadintu inooga dhow dahay markii horoo aan rumaysannay.

¹²the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

¹²Habeenkii hore buu u batay, maalintiina waa soo dhowaatay, sidaas daraaddeed aan iska dhigno shuqullada gudcurka oo aan qaadanno hubka iftiinka.

¹³as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;

¹³Sida iyadoo maalin ah aynu si qumman u soconno, yeynan ku socon rabshad iyo sakhraannimo, yeynan ku socon galmo iyo dhillanimo, yeynan ku socon ilaaq iyo hinaaso.Laakiin Rabbi Ciise Masiix huwada, oo jidhka ha ka fikirina inaad damacyadiisa samaysaan.

¹⁴but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought — for desires.

¹⁴Laakiin Rabbi Ciise Masiix huwada, oo jidhka ha ka fikirina inaad damacyadiisa samaysaan.
