Romans 13 - Listen Online

¹ KI olukuluku ọkàn ki o foribalẹ fun awọn alaṣẹ ti o wà ni ipo giga. Nitori kò si aṣẹ kan, bikoṣe lati ọdọ Ọlọrun wá: awọn alaṣẹ ti o si wà, lati ọdọ Ọlọrun li a ti làna rẹ̀ wá.

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

² Nitorina ẹniti o ba tapá si aṣẹ, o tapá si ìlana Ọlọrun: awọn ẹniti o ba si ntapá, yio gbà ẹbi fun ara wọn.

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

³ Nitori awọn ijoye kì iṣe ẹ̀ru si iṣẹ rere, bikoṣe si iṣẹ buburu. Njẹ iwọ ha fẹ ṣaibẹru aṣẹ wọn? ṣe eyi ti o dara, iwọ ó si gbà iyìn lati ọdọ rẹ̀:

³ For 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:

⁴ Nitori iranṣẹ Ọlọrun ni iṣe si ọ fun rere. Ṣugbọn bi iwọ ba nṣe buburu, bẹru; nitori kò gbé idà na lasan: nitori iranṣẹ Ọlọrun ni iṣe, olugbẹsan lati ṣiṣẹ ibinu lara ẹniti nṣe buburu.

⁴ For 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.

⁵ Nitorina ẹnyin kò gbọdọ ṣaima tẹriba, kì iṣe nitoriti ibinu nikan, ṣugbọn nitori ẹri-ọkàn pẹlu.

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

⁶ Nitori idi eyi na li ẹ ṣe san owo-ode pẹlu: nitori iranṣẹ Ọlọrun ni nwọn eyiyi na ni nwọn mbojuto nigbagbogbo.

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

⁷ Nitorina ẹ san ohun ti o tọ fun ẹni gbogbo: owo-ode fun ẹniti owo-ode iṣe tirẹ̀: owo-bode fun ẹniti owo-bode iṣe tirẹ̀; ẹ̀ru fun ẹniti ẹ̀ru iṣe tirẹ̀; ọlá fun ẹniti ọlá iṣe tirẹ̀.

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

⁸ Ẹ máṣe jẹ ẹnikẹni ni gbese ohun kan, bikoṣepe ki a fẹran ọmọnikeji ẹni: nitori ẹniti o ba fẹran ọmọnikeji rẹ̀, o kó ofin já.

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

⁹ Nitori eyi, Iwọ kò gbọdọ ṣe panṣaga, Iwọ kò gbọdọ pania, Iwọ kò gbọdọ jale, Iwọ kò gbọdọ jẹri eke, Iwọ kò gbọdọ ṣojukòkoro; bi ofin miran ba si wà, a ko o pọ ninu ọ̀rọ yi pe, Fẹran ọmọnikeji rẹ bi ara rẹ.

⁹ For 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.

¹⁰ Ifẹ kì iṣe ohun buburu si ọmọnikeji rẹ̀: nitorina ifẹ li akója ofin.

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

¹¹ Ati eyi, bi ẹ ti mọ̀ akokò pe, o ti to wakati nisisiyi fun nyin lati ji loju orun: nitori nisisiyi ni igbala wa sunmọ etile jù igbati awa ti gbagbọ́ lọ.

¹¹ And 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.

¹² Oru bukọja tan, ilẹ si fẹrẹ mọ́: nitorina ẹ jẹ ki a bọ́ ara iṣẹ òkunkun silẹ, ki a si gbe ihamọra imọlẹ wọ̀.

¹² The 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.

¹³ Jẹ ki a mã rìn ìrin titọ, bi li ọsán; kì iṣe ni iréde-oru ati ni imutipara, kì iṣe ni iwa-ẽri ati wọbia, kì iṣe ni ìja ati ilara.

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

¹⁴ Ṣugbọn ẹ gbe Jesu Kristi Oluwa wọ̀, ki ẹ má si pèse fun ara, lati mã mu ifẹkufẹ rẹ̀ ṣẹ.

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