Men Rom 13
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1AMEN amen en upa kaun akan, me kin poe irail edi, pwe jota kaun akan me jota jan ren Kot, a waja kaun akan mia, nan irail me ren Kot.
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
2Ari, me pan katiwo on kaun akan kin katiwo on kujoned en Kot, a me katiwo kan, pan lodi on kapun.
2Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3Pwe jaupeidi kan jota kin kamajakki, me kin wia mau, pwe me kin wia me jued. A ma koe jota men majak kaun akan, en wiada me mau, koe ap pan indandeki pa ’rail.
3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.
4Pwe a papan Kot o iei me mau on uk, a ma koe wia me jued, majak, pwe a jota kin wa mal kodlaj. Pwe a papan Kot o, pwen kame me wia jued.
4For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
5lei me komail en peiki on, a kaidin pweki kamekam a pweki injen omail.
5Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6Iei me komail pil wiai on nopwei, pwe irail me papan Kot, me kin kaukaule papa wet.
6This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.
7Komail ari kapunala omail pwaipwand on amen amen! Takjij on me takjij kin wiaui on, nopwei on me nopwei kin wiaui on; majak, me majak kin ko on; ki on wau, me wau kin ko on.
7Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
8Der pwaipwandeki meakot on amen; iet eta: Omail limpok pena, pwe me kin pok on amen, kin kapwaiada kapun o.
8Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9Pwe iet akan: Koe der kamal! Koe der kamela aramaj! Koe der pirap! Koe der norok! o ma pil eu kujoned mia, iet orlepa: Koe en pok on men imp om due pein uk!
9The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
10Limpok jota kin wia jued on men imp a. Ari, limpok audepan kapun.
10Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11O pil met: Kitail en dedeki duen anjau o, pwe auer leler, me kitail en pirida jan mair, pwe anjaun atail dorela me koren jan ni tapin atail pojon.
11And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12Ponpon daulier, a ran me korendor. Kitail en pwilikidi wiawian rotorot akan, ap ale tatan marain.
12The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13Kitail en kekeid ni tiak mau, pwe ni ran; der kaped en mana de kamom joko, der jamin de jaut, de luak, de peirin.
13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14A komail ale Kaun lejuj Krijtuj, o der kanonala pali uduk, pwen aneda a inon jued.
14Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
