Tsamba Kuna Akristu a ku Roma 13:1-14
13 Anthu onsene asafunika kubvera mautongi,+ thangwi nkhabepo utongi udakhonda kutawiriswa na Mulungu;+ mautongi anaoneka awa ali mu mbuto zawo zakusiyana-siyana thangwi asatawiriswa na Mulungu.+
2 Natenepa, munthu anakhonda kubvera utongi ali kuthimbana na masasanyiro a Mulungu; ale anathimbana na masasanyiro anewa anadzatongwa na iwo.
3 Thangwi mautongi nee asagopiwa na ale anacita pinthu pyadidi, mbwenye asagopiwa na ale anacita pinthu pyakuipa.+ Khala nee usafuna kugopa utongi, pitiriza kucita pinthu pyadidi,+ natenepa iwo anadzakusimba;
4 thangwi iwo ndi atumiki a Mulungu toera kukuphedzani. Mbwenye khala ukucita pinthu pyakuipa, khala mbugopa, thangwi iwo ali na mphambvu* toera kutcunyusa, tayu toera kusendzeka nazo. Mautongi ndi atumiki a Mulungu toera kutcunyusa ale anacita pinthu pyakuipa.
5 Natenepa, imwe musafunika kubvera mautongi, tayu basi thangwi yakugopa kutcunyuswa, mbwenye muabverembo thangwi ya cikumbuntima canu.*+
6 Na thangwi ineyi, imwe musalipambo misonkho; thangwi ndzidzi onsene mautongi asaphata basa toera kuphedza anthu; munjira ineyi, iwo ndi atumiki a Mulungu.
7 Pasani onsene pinthu pyawo: Ale anaphemba nsonkho, apaseni nsonkho;+ ale anaphemba nsonkho-nsonkho, apaseni nsonkho-nsonkho; ale anaphemba kugopiwa, agopeni;+ ale anaphemba kulemedzwa, alemedzeni.+
8 Lekani kukhala na mangawa nee na munthu mʼbodzi, mbwenye mufunane unango na ndzace;+ thangwi ule anafuna ndzace, akucita pinalonga mwambo.+
9 Thangwi Mwambo usalonga: “Leka kucita upombo,+ leka kupha munthu,+ leka kuba,+ leka kusirira.”+ Matongero anewa na anango onsene, asaphatanizwa pa mafala awa: “Funa ndzako ninga iwe ene.”+
10 Munthu waufuni nkhabe kucitira ndzace pinthu pyakuipa,+ natenepa munthu anafuna ndzace asabvera mwambo.+
11 Citani pyenepi thangwi imwe musadziwa ndzidzi, kuti uno ndi ndzidzi toera imwe mulamuke ncitulo,+ thangwi cipulumuso cathu ciri cifupi kakamwe kupiringana mu ndzidzi udatoma ife kukhulupira.
12 Masiku ali cifupi na kumala; kunja kuli dhuzi na kuca. Natenepa, tendeni titaye mabasa a ncidima,+ mbatibvala pida pya ceza.+
13 Tendeni tifambe mwakuthema+ ninga tiri kufamba namasikati, tayu kucita maphwando akukhonda thema,* kuledzera, ulukwali, makhaliro akupasa manyadzo,*+ pontho tikhonde kucita pya nthonga, nee ntcanje.*+
14 Mbwenye towezerani* Mbuya Yezu Kristu,+ pontho lekani kunyerezera mwanyapantsi toera kucita pinthu pinafuna manungo.*+
