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.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual 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)

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (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 that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person 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 even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have 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, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one 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.

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s 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 service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, 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 he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who 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. Cling 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 of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

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

not lagging in diligence, 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, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,

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

contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

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

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

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

Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who 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 one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

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

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what 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 it is possible, as much as it is up to you, 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.

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; 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.

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

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

Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
