Romans 12
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndamũthaitha tondũ wa ũrĩa Ngai anamũiguĩra tha, mwĩrute mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩtuĩke magongona marĩ muoyo, na matheru mangĩkenia Ngai, arĩ guo ũtungata ũrĩa wagĩrĩire na wa ma wa kũgoocithia Ngai.
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
Mũtikanahaananie ũhoro wanyu na maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno; no garũrũkai na ũndũ wa kwerũhio meciiria manyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũrĩhotaga kũmenya na gwĩtĩkĩra wendi ũcio wa Ngai, o wendi ũcio wake mwega ũrĩa wa kũmũkenagia, na mũkinyanĩru kũna. (aiōn g165)
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa ndaaheirwo nĩ Ngai-rĩ, ngwĩra o mũndũ wothe wanyu atĩrĩ: Mũndũ ndakae gwĩtua mũnene gũkĩra ũrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtua, no nĩ kaba mũndũ eciiragie ũhoro wake we mwene na atue itua rĩagĩrĩru, kũringana na wĩtĩkio ũrĩa Ngai amũheete.
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
O ta ũrĩa tũrĩ na ciĩga nyingĩ thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũmwe, nacio ciĩga ici ciothe itirutaga wĩra mũthemba ũmwe-rĩ,
5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
no taguo o na ithuĩ, o na twatuĩka tũrĩ aingĩ, tũrĩ mwĩrĩ ũmwe thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, na o kĩĩga nĩkĩohanĩtio na iria ingĩ ciothe.
6 We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
Ningĩ nĩtũheetwo iheo itiganĩte, kũringana na wega ũrĩa tũheetwo. Angĩkorwo kĩheo kĩa mũndũ nĩ kũratha mohoro-rĩ, nĩahũthĩre kĩheo kĩu kũringana na ũrĩa wĩtĩkio wake ũigana.
7 if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
Angĩkorwo nĩ gũtungata, nĩatungatage; na angĩkorwo nĩ kũrutana, nĩarutanage;
8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
ningĩ angĩkorwo nĩ kũũmĩrĩria andũ, nĩakĩũmanagĩrĩrie; na angĩkorwo nĩ wa kũrũmbũiya mabata ma andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩakĩheanage na ũtaana; angĩkorwo nĩ wa gũtongoria, nĩatongoragie na kĩyo; ningĩ ũrĩa wa kũiguanĩra tha, nĩekage ũguo akenete.
9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
Wendani wanyu nĩũkoragwo nĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga. Thũũragai ũndũ ũrĩa mũũru; naguo ũndũ ũrĩa mwega mũkĩũrũmagie.
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
Endanagai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, mũrĩ na wendani ta wa ciana cia ithe ũmwe. Na mũndũ nĩatĩĩage ũrĩa ũngĩ gũkĩra we mwene.
11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Rutagai wĩra na kĩyo, na mũreke ngoro cianyu ihĩahĩage, mũgĩtungatagĩra Mwathani.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.
Ikaragai mũkenete nĩ ũndũ mũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro, na mũkiragĩrĩrie hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, na mũikarage mũkĩhooyaga hĩndĩ ciothe.
13 Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Teithagiai andũ a Ngai mabataro-inĩ mao. Tũũrai mũnyiitaga andũ ũgeni.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
Rathimagai andũ arĩa mamũnyariiraga; marathimagei na mũtikanamarume.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
Kenagai hamwe na arĩa marakena; na mũcakae na arĩa maracakaya.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.
Tũũrai mũiguanĩte mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. Tigagai gwĩtĩĩa, no mwĩtĩkagĩre kũgĩa ngwatanĩro na andũ arĩa matarĩ igweta. Tigagai kwĩona ta mũrĩ oogĩ.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.
Mũtikaneke mũndũ ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa ũũru ũrĩa amwĩkĩte. Menyagĩrĩrai nĩguo mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa mangĩonwo magĩrĩire nĩ andũ othe.
18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
Inyuĩ-rĩ, geragiai gũikarania na mũndũ o wothe na thayũ kũngĩhoteka.
19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
Arata akwa, mũtikanerĩhĩrie, no tigagĩriai mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai handũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Kũrĩhanĩria nĩ gwakwa; nĩ niĩ ngaarĩhanĩria,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga.
20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ: “Thũ yaku ĩngĩkorwo ĩhũtiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe irio; ĩngĩkorwo nĩĩnyootiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe gĩa kũnyua. Gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, nĩkũmĩigĩrĩra makara ma mwaki mũtwe.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Mũtikanatoorio nĩ ũũru, no tooragiai ũũru na wega.
