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.
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 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)
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 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.
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 Mu chiilu chimo mwana iŵalo yejinji, ni kila chiŵalo chikupanganya masengo gakwe.
for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,
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, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one 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.
And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy — 'According to the proportion of faith!'
7 Iŵaga mundu apegwilwe ntulilo wa kutumichila, nneche atumichile. Jwapegwilwe ntulilo wa kwiganya, nneche ajiganye.
or ministration — 'In the ministration!' or he who is 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.
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 Unonyelo wenu uŵe wangali ulamba. Nchichime changalumbana chilichose, mnyambatilane ni yambone.
The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
10 Nnonyelane jwine ni jwine mpela achalongo ni kuchimbichisyana jwine ni jwine.
in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
11 Npanganye masengo kwa kuchalila, nkaŵa ŵa ulesi. Mwatumichile Ambuje, kwa ntima wenu wose.
in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
12 Nsengwanje nli ni chilolelo. Mpililile mu kulagaswa, ni kupopela katema kose.
in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
13 Mwakamuchisye ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mu yaikwasoŵa yao ni kwapochela achalendo kwa unonyelo.
to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
14 Mwape upile ŵakunnagasya, mwape upile ngasimwalwesya.
Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
15 Nsengwanje pamo ni ŵakusengwa, nlile pamo ni ŵakulila.
to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
16 Ntame yambone jwine ni jwine. Kasinlifuna nambo nkunde kutama kwa kulitulusya. Kasinliganichisya kuti nkwete lunda nnope.
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 Ngasimwauchisya yangalumbana mundu jwampanganyichisye yangalumbana. Mpanganye yambone kwa ŵandu wose.
giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
18 Yaikuti pakukomboleka kukwenu nchalile kutama mu chitendewele ni ŵandu wose.
If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;
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.”
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance [is] Mine,
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.”
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 Nkakunda ungalumbana umpunde, nambo nkaupunde ungalumbana kwa kuitendekanya yambone.
Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
