1 E very person must obey the leaders of the land. There is no power given but from God, and all leaders are allowed by God.

Naf 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.

2 T he person who does not obey the leaders of the land is working against what God has done. Anyone who does that will be punished.

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

3 T hose who do right do not have to be afraid of the leaders. Those who do wrong are afraid of them. Do you want to be free from fear of them? Then do what is right. You will be respected instead.

Madaxdu 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.

4 L eaders are God’s servants to help you. If you do wrong, you should be afraid. They have the power to punish you. They work for God. They do what God wants done to those who do wrong.

Waayo, 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.

5 Y ou must obey the leaders of the land, not only to keep from God’s anger, but so your own heart will have peace.

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

6 I t is right for you to pay taxes because the leaders of the land are servants for God who care for these things.

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

7 P ay taxes to whom taxes are to be paid. Be afraid of those you should fear. Respect those you should respect.

Mid 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. Jacaylka Walaalnimada

8 D o not owe anyone anything, but love each other. Whoever loves his neighbor has done what the Law says to do.

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

9 T he Law says, “You must not do any sex sin. You must not kill another person. You must not steal. You must not tell a lie about another person. You must not want something someone else has.” The Law also says that these and many other Laws are brought together in one Law, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

Waayo, 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.

10 A nyone who loves his neighbor will do no wrong to him. You keep the Law with love.

Jacaylku xumaan kuma sameeyo deriskiisa; jacaylku haddaba waa oofinta sharciga. Maalintii Masiixu Waa Soo Dhowaanaysaa

11 T here is another reason for doing what is right. You know what time it is. It is time for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be taken up to be with Christ is not as far off as when we first put our trust in Him.

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

12 N ight is almost gone. Day is almost here. We must stop doing the sinful things that are done in the dark. We must put on all the things God gives us to fight with for the day.

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

13 W e must act all the time as if it were day. Keep away from wild parties and do not be drunk. Keep yourself free from sex sins and bad actions. Do not fight or be jealous.

Sida 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.

14 L et every part of you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not allow your weak thoughts to lead you into sinful actions.

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