1Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by 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.
2So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
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 a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
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 it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does 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 it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
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 on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on 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 to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, 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 one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has 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, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, 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 works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.
10 Baakasinay si goy laalo te nga gorokasin se. Woodin sabbay se no baakasinay ya asariya toonandiyaŋ no.
11This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused 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, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore 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.
13As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.
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 on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
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.
