Romans 13:1 in other translations
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.
Everyone 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.
Let 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.

In context
1 Kila nafsi na iwe na utii kwa mamlaka ya juu, kwa kuwa hakuna mamlaka isipokuwa imetoka kwa Mungu. Na mamlaka zilizopo zimewekwa na Mungu.
2 Kwa hiyo ambaye anapinga mamlaka hiyo hupinga amri ya Mungu; na wale waipingao watapokea hukumu juu yao wenyewe.
3 Kwa kuwa watawala si tishio kwa watendao mema, bali kwa watendao maovu. Je unatamani kutoogopa mamlaka? Fanya yaliyo mema, na utasifiwa nayo.
4 Kwa kuwa ni mtumishi wa Mungu kwako kwa ajili ya mema. Bali kama utatenda yaliyo maovu, ogopa; kwa kuwa habebi upanga bila sababu. Kwa kuwa ni mtumishi wa Mungu, mlipa kisasi kwa ghadhabu juu ya yule afanyaye uovu.
