Romawa 12

1 Mi bre yi mri yah, nitu gbugbu zizi u Rhi, ndi nno kpambi hadaya u ka khwu u tsratsra, ikpye u kpah ni Rji. Iwayi mba hi jiji ndume.

I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 Na yo tu ni kpye u ngbungblu yina, kami ndri mbi sran ni mi son sa'a mbi, Tima kima ndi toh ikpye wa a ndindi ma, u'kpaa nda hi ngre me nimyren Rji. (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is―the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect. (aiōn g165)

3 Nakima mi si tre nitu didi wa ba ne, du ri nimi bi, ka na zu tuma zan uwirji wa Rji zi a na. Nakima bika hei ni toh, gwargwadon wa Rji no ko nghan njanji.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

4 Nakima ki hei ni ngma kpa gbugbu'u nimi kpa riri, ana wawu ba, ba ti iri du riri na.

For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office,

5 Ahei naki ni kita, na diki gbugbuu, naki ni mi kpa u Almasihu, wawu bu'u ki ngma kpa, kpabu.

so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

6 Ki hei ni ba nno nikankan ni tu ndindi wa ba no ti tawu. Inde baiwa indio hi toh ko shishi, ka ti nitu njanji ma.

Since, then, we have gifts which differ according to the grace that is given to us, whether we have the gift of prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 Inde wa ahei ni baiwa u du, sei ka ti du ma. Inde ndi ri hei ni baiwa u tsro, wa ka tsro.

or, if we have a ministry, let us be active in our ministry; if any one teaches, let him attend to his teaching;

8 Inde iri ahei ni baiwa u chon ka chon. Inde ndi ri ahei ni baiwa u no, ka no ni bwu wo, inde iri hei u jin ndi, ka ti ni toh, inde iri baiwa a lo suron, ka ti ni si suron.

or, if any exhorts, let him attend to exhortation; if any one gives, let him do it with sincerity; he that rules, with diligence: he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Bika tsro son, aman na ni riya na. Ka bi ni ikpi wa a meme, di ti kpie wa a didima.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good;

10 Nitu son mri vayi, bi ka son kpabi na abi. Nitu no nikon, bika no tubi nikon.

in love to the brotherhood, be kindly affectionate one to another; in showing honor, be examples one to another;

11 Ni ti, na sina, ni tu Ibrji Tsatsra, bika ti gbengbenlen Nitu Bachi game, bika ti du ni u.

in what requires diligence, be not slothful; in spirit, be fervent; in service, be devoted to the Lord;

12 Nitu tre kpeshe, bika ti niki kla suron. Nitu sun si na hei na, bika vu suron, nitu bre, bika bre ni you suron.

in hope, be joyful; in affliction, be patient; in prayer, be persevering;

13 Ki ta zo bi tsatsra, di ta kpa bi tsri ni ba koh bu.

administer to the necessities of the saints; be careful to entertain strangers;

14 Ti lulu yo ni bi wa ba wanyu ni yi, bi kana tinyu ni bawu na.

bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not;

15 Bika za'a ni biwa basi za'a, bika yi mashi ni biwa basi yi mashi.

rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep;

16 Imere bi ka kamti riri, na du mere bi kam ti u wur wo ni san na, naki bika ti kpan ni bi tiya. du iri ni mi ka ri mere di wawu a zan iri na.

cultivate the same disposition, one toward another: mind not high things, but conform yourselves to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits;

17 Na rjhu hla meme ni meme na, ti ndu didi ni shishi ko nghan.

repay to no one evil for evil; practice that which is honorable in the sight of all men.

18 Bika ti kpie wa bi ya bi ya ti, don du yi si ni ko naghan.

If possible, as far as may be in your power, be at peace with all men.

19 Mri yah na rjhu hla na, du Rji rjhu hla niyu'u, na di ba nha. Rjhuhla ahi u mu, mi yoh ni ko nghan, inji Bachi bu.

Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written: Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

20 Nakima, iyon nita tie ndi wa ani kra u wuka nno barli, inde hlan ma niti u wuka no man so. inde bisi ti nakima, bi si vu kla lu si sur ni tu bi kran yi.

If, therefore, your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Na du meme gyuru yi na, bi yi bika gyuru meme niti didi.

Be not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
