Jo-Rumi 12
1 Emomiyo, jowetena, ajiwou kuom ngʼwono mar Nyasaye, mondo uchiw ringreu kaka misango mangima maler kendo ma Nyasaye morgo, nikech mano e yor lemo makare.
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 Kik koro ulu kit ngima pinyni, to lokreuru ka parou doko manyien pile, eka unubed gi nyalo mar pimo kendo ngʼeyo dwach Nyasaye, ma en dwache maber, mowinjore kendo malongʼo chuth. (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 Nimar kuom ngʼwono mosemiya, awacho ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ni: Kik ipar ni iduongʼ moloyo kaka ichal to ket pachi kare eka ingʼad buchi kaluwore gi kar rom yie ma Nyasaye osepogoni.
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 Nikech mana kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa nigi ringruok achiel man-gi fuonde mangʼeny, to kendo fuondegi duto ok tim tich machalre,
For as we have in one body many members, but the members, though many, have not the same function,
5 e kaka ei Kristo, waloso ringruok achiel, kata obedo ni wangʼeny, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa ni e achiel gi jowetene mamoko duto.
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one reciprocally members of each other.
6 Wan gi mich mopogore opogore kaluwore gi ngʼwono momiwa. Ka mich ngʼato en koro wach, to mondo oti kode kaluwore gi yie mare.
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 Ka en tiyo ni ji, to mondo oti, ka en puonj, to mondo opuonji.
or if the deacon’s office, be active in the service; or he that teacheth, in teaching;
8 Ka en jiwo ji, to mondo ojiw ji; ka en chiwo ne joma ochando, to mondo ochiw gi ngʼwono; ka en telo, to mondo orit ji gi kinda; ka en kecho ji, to mondo otime komor.
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 Hera nyaka bed mar adier. Beduru mosin gi timbe maricho; padreuru kuom gik mabeyo.
Let love be undissembled. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Genreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato gihera mar owete. Ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo odhial nyawadgi moloyo kaka odhialore owuon.
In brotherly affection be tenderly attached to each other; in honour preferring one another:
11 Kik chunyu nyosre, to meduru bedo motegno, kutiyo ni Ruoth.
not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord:
12 Beduru mamor kuom geno, kutimo sinani e sand muyudo, kendo ulamo ma ok uywe.
rejoicing in hope; patient in affliction; persevering in prayer:
13 Poguru giu gi jo-Nyasaye mochando. Beduru joma ohero rwako welo.
communicating to the wants of the saints; prompt to hospitality.
14 Gwedhuru joma sandou; gwedhgiuru agwedha, kik ukwongʼ-gi.
Bless them who persecute you; bless, and curse not.
15 Moruru gi joma mor, kendo ywaguru gi joma ywak.
Rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep.
16 Daguru gi winjruok e kindu. Kik usungru, to beduru gi chuny mohero riwore gi joma ni e ngima mapiny. Kik ngʼato wuondre ni oriek moloyo ji mamoko.
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 Kik uchul ngʼato angʼata rach kar rach. Neuru ni utimo gima ji duto oyiego ni ber.
Render to no man evil for evil. Be provident of things laudable in the sight of all men.
18 Ka nyalore, to temuru mondo udag gi kwe gi ji duto.
If possible, as far as you can, be at peace with all men.
19 Kik uchul kuoro, osiepena, to weuru thuolo ne mirimb Ruoth Nyasaye, nimar ondiki niya, “An ema nachul kuor; abiro chulo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, “Vengeance belongeth to me; I will recompence, saith the Lord.”
20 To bende Muma wacho niya, “Ka jasiki odenyo, to miye chiemo; ka riyo oloye, to miye gimoro omodhi, ka itimo kamano, ibiro choko chuk mach maliel e wiye.”
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 Kik uyie richo lou, to louru richo gi tim maber.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
