< 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.
Kwa nyo nenda kunoba, mwalongo, kwa huruma yake Nnongo, mwipiyi yega yinu ibe sadaka yebi ngoto, yepeletike, yaiyeketya Nnongo, Aye nga ibada yinu yene mana.
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 )
Wala kene mupwatise na muna ya lunia yii, ila mugalambuke kwopangilwa mwayambe niya jino. Mupange nyoo mupate tanga pulaika kwa Nnongo gaga bile mazuri, ga kupulaisa na gabi kamili. (aiōn )
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.
Mana nendo koya. kwa sababu ya uruma ya anipeyilwe, panga kila mundu ambae abile nkati yinu apalikwa kwa wasa sana usu juu ya mwene kuliko mwapalikwa wasa. Ila apalikwa wasa kwa hekima, katu mwaibile Nnongo apei kala yumo kiasi pulani cha aminiya.
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
Kwa kuwa twina iungo ya nannchima mu yega jimo, ila sio iungo yoti i na lyengo limo.
5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
Nga nyonyo, twenga twotubi bingi twi mundu yumo nkati ya Kirisitu, na iungo kila simo na nyine.
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;
Twii na makalama gana nchima kwa kati urumo mwa mupeyilwe mana itei kalama ya mundu ni unabii, na ipangilwe kwa kadili ya aminiya kwake.
7 if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
Mene itei kalama ga mundu ga huduma na atumike. mana itei jwenge aina kalama ga pundisa bai apundise.
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.
Mana itei mungu jwenge kalama gake faliji, bai afaliji, Mana itei kalama ga mundu piya, apange nyo kwa karimu, mana itei mundu jwenge kalama gake ongosa, na ayendeli kwa uangalifu. mana itei mundu jwenge bonekana na huruma na iyendeli kwa pulaika.
9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
Penda kana kube na ubocho, muchukii ubou, mukamwe gagabi gananoga.
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
Husu pendana alongo, mupendane mwabene na mwabene husu isima, mwisimiane wene kwa wene.
11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Husu bidii, kene mulegeleke wamubile nawo husu roho mube na hamu husu Nngwana, mutumikie.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.
Mupalaike mu ujasili wa mubile nawo husu masoba gagaisa. Muba na lenda kwa matatiso ngino musinde loba.
13 Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Musiliki muga basikikwe baamini. Mupale ndela yanachima ya bonekana ukarimu.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
Mwarobi baraka boti babatesa mwenga, mwabariki wala kene mwalaani.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
Mupulai pamope na babapulaika, mulele pamope na babalela.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.
Mube na nia yimo mwenga kwa mwenga. kana muwase kwa kwipuna, mwayeketi bandu ba hali ya pae. Kene mube na hekima kwa mawaso yinu mwabene.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.
Kana mwanepe mundu ywoywote ubaya kwa ubaya. Mupange makowe gananoga paminyo ga bandu boti.
18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
Mene ke wezekana, kati mwaibikilwe kayino mube na amani na bandu boti.
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.”
Wopendilwe, kamwilepi kisasi mwabene ila mwipeye nyongo ya Nnongo. mana itiandikilwa “kisasi chango, nenga nalowa lepa, alongei Nngwana”.
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.”
Ila mmaya wako abi na njala, unise. Mana abi na nyota, mpei mache kwa mwanza mana apangite nyoo, ukalya makaa ga mwoto mu nde wake.
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Kana ushindwe na ubaya, ila ubaya ushindwe kwa wema.
