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, to 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 world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and 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, by the grace which is given unto me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has divided to every one the 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 in one body many members, but the members, though many, have not the same function,
5 Ahei naki ni kita, na diki gbugbuu, naki ni mi kpa u Almasihu, wawu bu'u ki ngma kpa, kpabu.
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one reciprocally members of each other.
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.
Having then different gifts according to the grace which is given unto us, if it be prophecy, speak according to the analogy of 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 the deacon’s office, be active in the service; or he that teacheth, in 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 he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that distributes, let him do it with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that is employed in acts of 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 undissembled. 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 brotherly affection be tenderly attached to each other; in honour preferring one another:
11 Ni ti, na sina, ni tu Ibrji Tsatsra, bika ti gbengbenlen Nitu Bachi game, bika ti du ni u.
not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving 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.
rejoicing in hope; patient in affliction; persevering in prayer:
13 Ki ta zo bi tsatsra, di ta kpa bi tsri ni ba koh bu.
communicating to the wants of the saints; prompt to hospitality.
14 Ti lulu yo ni bi wa ba wanyu ni yi, bi kana tinyu ni bawu na.
Bless them who 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 those that rejoice, and weep with those 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.
Be of the same mind among each other. Affect not high things, but be condescending to the lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Na rjhu hla meme ni meme na, ti ndu didi ni shishi ko nghan.
Render to no man evil for evil. Be provident of things laudable 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 you can, 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.
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, “Vengeance belongeth to me; I will recompence, saith 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 thine enemy hunger, give him food; if he thirst, give him drink: for so doing, thou shalt heap up coals of fire on his head.
21 Na du meme gyuru yi na, bi yi bika gyuru meme niti didi.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
