Ŵaloma 12
1 Kwayele, achalongo achinjangu, pakuŵa Akunnungu annosisye chanasa chao, ngunchondelela ntyosye iilu yenu mpela mbopesi jejumi ni jeswela ni jajikwanonyelesya Akunnungu. Lyele lili litala lya usyene lya kwapopelela Akunnungu.
Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.
2 Nkansyasya indu ya pachilambo pano nambo Akunnungu ajigalausye miningwa jenu kuti mmanyilile unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Nipele chinkombole kulimanyilila lisosa lya Akunnungu lyalili lyambone ni yakuti pakusaka ŵanyamwe mme. (aiōn g165)
Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
3 Pakuŵa kwa umbone waambele Akunnungu, ngunsalila ŵanyamwe wose, mundu akasaliganichisya kuti ali jwankulu kupunda yaikuti kwaŵajila. Nambo mmeje ŵa lunda pankuganisya, ni kulilamula mwachinsye malinga ni chikulupi chimpegwile ni Akunnungu.
Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.
4 Mu chiilu chimo mwana iŵalo yejinji, ni kila chiŵalo chikupanganya masengo gakwe.
Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not have the same function,
5 Uweji ŵatuli ŵajinji tuli chiilu chimo mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito, noweji wose tulumbikenywe jumo kwa jwine nti iŵalo ya kupisyangana ya pachiilu.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
6 Nipele, pakuŵa tuli ni mitulilo jakupisyangana, malinga ni ntuuka watupele Akunnungu. Jwapegwilwe ntulilo wa kuŵecheta utenga kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, aŵechete malinga ni chikulupi chakwe.
Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;
7 Iŵaga mundu apegwilwe ntulilo wa kutumichila, nneche atumichile. Jwapegwilwe ntulilo wa kwiganya, nneche ajiganye.
if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 Jwapegwilwe ntulilo wa kutusya ntima, atendeje yeleyo. Ni jwapegwilwe ntulilo wa kutyosya kwa ŵane, atyosye kwa lulele. Jwakwimilila, ajimilile kwa kuchalila ni jwa chanasa, atendekanye yeleyo kwa kusangalala.
if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.
9 Unonyelo wenu uŵe wangali ulamba. Nchichime changalumbana chilichose, mnyambatilane ni yambone.
Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;
10 Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela achalongo ni kuchimbichisyana jwine ni jwine.
showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
11 Npanganye masengo kwa kuchalila, nkaŵa ŵa ulesi. Mwatumichile Ambuje, kwa ntima wenu wose.
not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;
12 Nsengwanje nli ni chilolelo. Mpililile mu kulagaswa, ni kupopela katema kose.
rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Mwakamuchisye ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mu yaikwasoŵa yao ni kwapochela achalendo kwa unonyelo.
distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing hospitality.
14 Mwape upile ŵakunnagasya, mwape upile ngasimwalwesya.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Nsengwanje pamo ni ŵakusengwa, nlile pamo ni ŵakulila.
Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
16 Ntame yambone jwine ni jwine. Kasinlifuna nambo nkunde kutama kwa kulitulusya. Kasinliganichisya kuti nkwete lunda nnope.
Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.
17 Ngasimwauchisya yangalumbana mundu jwampanganyichisye yangalumbana. Mpanganye yambone kwa ŵandu wose.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.
18 Yaikuti pakukomboleka kukwenu nchalile kutama mu chitendewele ni ŵandu wose.
If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Achalongo achinjangu, kasimmuchisyana yangalumbana jwine ni jwine, nambo mwalechele Akunnungu atende chindu cho kwa lutumbilo lwakwe, pakuŵa ilembekwe mu Malembelo ga Akunnungu, Ambuje akuti, “Kuuchisya chisasi kuli kukwangu, uneji chimuchisye.”
Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Mpela Malembo ga Akunnungu yagakuti, “Jwammagongo jwenu jakolaga sala mwape chakulya ni jankamulaga njota mwape meesi ang'weje. Pakuŵa kwakutenda yeleyo chimwatende akole soni jajikulungwa nti mwaŵichile makala ga mooto pantwe pakwe.”
Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Nkakunda ungalumbana umpunde, nambo nkaupunde ungalumbana kwa kuitendekanya yambone.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
