Romans 13:2 in other translations
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

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.
5 Kwa hiyo inakupasa utii, si tu kwa sababu ya gadhabu, bali pia kwa sababu ya dhamiri.
