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 call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice — living, sanctified, acceptable to God — your intelligent 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, for your proving what [is] the will of God — the good, and 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, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal 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 in one body we have many members, 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, one body are in Christ, and members each one 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.

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy — 'According to the proportion 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 ministration — 'In the ministration!' or he who is teaching — 'In the 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 is exhorting — 'In the exhortation!' he who is sharing — 'In simplicity!' he who is leading — 'In diligence?' he who is doing kindness — 'In cheerfulness.'

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

The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

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

in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

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

in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

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 the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

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

to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

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

Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

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

to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

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.

of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

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

giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

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

If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;

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.

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance [is] Mine,

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.

I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

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

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
