¹Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

¹Persona gucia potestate goragoén suiet biz, ecen ezta potestateric Iaincoaganic baicen: eta diraden potestateac, Iaincoaz ordenatuac dirade.

²Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

²Halacotz, potestateari resistitzen draucanac, Iaincoaren ordenançari resistitzen drauca: eta resistitzen dutenéc, bere buruén gainera damnatione erekarriren duté.

³For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,

³Ecen magistratuac eztirade icigarri, obra onacgatic, baina gaichtoagatic. Bada nahi duc potestatearen beldur ez içan? eguic vngui, eta recebituren duc laudorio harenganic.

⁴for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

⁴Ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc hire onetacotz: baina gaizquiric badaguic, aicén beldur: ecen eztic causa gabe ezpatá ekarten: ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc, mendecari hiratan, gaizqui eguiten duenaren gainean.

⁵Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

⁵Harren behar da içan suiect ez hiragatic solament, baina conscientiagatic-ere.

⁶For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, attending continually on this very thing.

⁶Ecen halacotz tributac-ere pagatzen dituçue: ecen Iaincoaren ministre dirade, hunetara berera emplegatzen diradela.

⁷Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.

⁷Renda ieceçue bada guciey çor draueçuena: nori tributa, tributa: nori peagea, peagea: nori beldurra, beldurra: nori ohorea, ohorea.

⁸Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

⁸Etzaretela nehorengana deusez çordun: elkarri on daritzoçuen baicen: ecen berceri on daritzanac, Leguea complitu du.

⁹For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not give false testimony,” “You shall not covet,” TR adds “You shall not give false testimony,” Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21 and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

⁹Ecen haur,Ezaiz adultero içanen, Eztuc hilen, Eztuc ebatsiren, Eztuc falsu testimoniageric erranen, Eztuc guthiciaturen: eta baldin cembeit berce manamenduric bada, hitz hunetan sommarioqui comprehenditzen da, Onhetsiren duc eure hurcoa eure burua beçala.

¹⁰Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

¹⁰Charitateac hurcoari gaizquiric eztrauca eguiten. Beraz Leguearen complimendua, charitatea da.

¹¹Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

¹¹Principalqui ikussiric sasoina, ecen ia ordu dela lotaric iratzar gaitecen: ecen orain hurbilago daucu saluamendua, ecen ez sinhetsi vkan dugunean.

¹²The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.

¹²Gauä iragan da eta eguna hurbildu. Iraitz ditzagun bada ilhumbearen obrác, eta vezti gaitecen arguiari dagocan abillamenduz.

¹³Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

¹³Egunáz anco honestqui ebil gaitecen: ez gormandicetan eta hordiquerietan, ez ohatzetan eta insolentietan, ez gudutan eta inuidiatan.

¹⁴But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

¹⁴Baina vezti çaiteztez Iesus Christ Iaunaz, eta haraguiaz artharic eztuçuela haren guthicién complitzeco.
