Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, your reasonable service.

Ɛno enti, anuanom, ɛsiane Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ enti, mehyɛ mo sɛ momfa mo onipadua mmɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ kronkron na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Yei ne nokwasɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ mosɔ mu.

2 And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, for ye to approve what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

Monnyɛ mo ho sɛ ewiasefoɔ wɔ mo abrabɔ mu, na mmom, momma Onyankopɔn nsakra mo adwene wɔ mo mu, na moanya adwene foforɔ, na ɛnam so ama moahunu Onyankopɔn apɛdeɛ, deɛ ɛyɛ, deɛ ɛsɔ nʼani ne deɛ ɛwie pɛyɛ. (aiōn g165)

3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.

Na ɛsiane Onyankopɔn adom a ɔde ama me no enti, meka mekyerɛ mo nyinaa sɛ, monnnwene mo ho mma ɛmmoro sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ sɛ modwene, na mmom, monnwene mo ho ahobrɛaseɛ mu, na mo mu biara nnyina gyidie a Onyankopɔn de ama mo no so.

4 For just as we have many body-parts in one body, and all the body-parts have not the same function,

Sɛdeɛ yɛn mu biara wɔ onipadua a ɛho akwaa yɛ bebree no, na saa akwaa yi mu biara wɔ dwuma a ɛdi no,

5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one body-parts of each other.

saa ara na Kristo mu no yɛn a yɛyɛ bebree no yɛ onipadua baako, na akwaa biara yɛ akwaa no nyinaa dea.

6 And having different gifts according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

Yɛwɔ akyɛdeɛ ahodoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔde adom yɛn no. Sɛ obi akyɛdeɛ yɛ nkɔmhyɛ a, ma ɔnnyina ne gyidie so mfa nyɛ adwuma.

7 or service, in the service; or he who teaches, in the teaching;

Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔsom a, ma ɔnsom; Sɛ ɛyɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ a, ma ɔnkyerɛkyerɛ;

8 or he who exhorts, in the exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who leads, in diligence; he who does mercy, in cheerfulness.

Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ afoforɔ nkuran a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ saa; sɛ ɛyɛ mmoa a ɔde boa afoforɔ a, ma ɔmfiri akoma pa mu nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ akwankyerɛ a, ma no mfa nsi nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ ayamyɛ a, ma ɔmfa anigyeɛ nyɛ.

9 Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdɔ yɛ nokorɛ turodoo. Monkyiri amumuyɛ. Mommata deɛ ɛyɛ ho.

10 with brotherly love toward each other, affectionate, leading each other in recognition,

Momfa onuadɔ nnodɔ mo ho. Monni afoforɔ ni nsen mo ho.

11 not lazy in diligence, being fervent in the Spirit serving the Lord,

Monkɔ so nyɛ nsi, monyɛ hye wɔ honhom mu, na momfa ahosɛpɛ nsom Awurade.

12 rejoicing in hope, enduring tribulation, persevering in prayer,

Monnya anidasoɔ mu anigyeɛ, amanehunu mu boasetɔ, na momfa gyidie mmɔ mpaeɛ.

13 sharing for the needs of the sanctified, pursuing love for strangers.

Mone Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ a ahia wɔn no nkyɛ deɛ mo wɔ. Mommɔ ahɔhosom ho mmɔden.

14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless ye and do not curse.

Monhyira wɔn a wɔtaa mo no; Monhyira wɔn na monnnome wɔn.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep,

Mo ne anigyefoɔ ani nnye, na mo ne asufoɔ nsu.

16 thinking the same way toward each other, not thinking on lofty things, but accommodating to the lowly. Become not wise according to yourselves,

Mo ne afoforɔ ntena asomdwoeɛ mu. Monnyɛ ahantan, na mmom momfa mo ho mmɔ mmɔborɔfoɔ. Mommmu mo ho anyansafoɔ.

17 rendering to no man evil for evil, premeditating things right in the sight of all men.

Mommfa bɔne ntua bɔne biara so ka. Monyɛ deɛ ɛbɛma nnipa de anidie ama mo.

18 If possible from you, keeping peace with all men,

Sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, mo fam deɛ, mo ne obiara ntena asomdwoeɛ mu.

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says the Lord.

Monntɔ wereɛ me nnamfonom, na mmom momma Onyankopɔn abufuo ho ɛkwan ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “Me na aweretɔ wɔ me, mɛtua ka,” Awurade na ɔseɛ.

20 Therefore if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him to drink. For by doing this thou will heap coals of fire upon his head.

Enti, “Sɛ ɛkɔm de wo ɔtamfoɔ a, ma no aduane nni; sɛ osukɔm de no a, ma no nsuo nnom. Na sɛ woyɛ saa a, woboaboa gyasramma ano gu nʼatifi.”

21 Be thou not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.

Mommma bɔne nni mo so. Mmom, momfa papa nni bɔne so.
