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.

Ɛno nti, anuanom, esiane Onyankopɔn ahummɔbɔ nti, mehyɛ mo sɛ momfa mo ho mmɔ afɔre a ɛyɛ kronkron na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Eyi ne nokwasɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ muso mu.

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)

Monnyɛ mo ho sɛ wiasefo wɔ mo abrabɔ mu, na mmom momma Onyankopɔn nsakra mo adwene wɔ mo mu, na moanya adwene foforo, na ɛnam so ama moahu Onyankopɔn apɛde, nea eye, nea ɛsɔ nʼani ne nea ewie pɛyɛ. (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.

Na esiane Onyankopɔn adom a ɔde ama me no nti, meka kyerɛ mo nyinaa se, monnnwene mo ho mma ɛmmoro sɛnea ɛsɛ sɛ modwene, na mmom monnwene mo ho ahobrɛase mu, na mo mu biara nnyina gyidi a Onyankopɔn de ama mo no so.

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,

Sɛnea yɛn mu biara wɔ nipadua a ho akwaa yɛ bebree, na saa akwaa yi mu biara wɔ dwuma a edi no,

5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

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

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;

Yɛwɔ akyɛde ahorow sɛnea wɔde adom yɛn no. Sɛ obi akyɛde yɛ nkɔmhyɛ a, ma onnyina ne gyidi so mfa nyɛ adwuma.

7 if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

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

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.

Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ afoforo nkuran a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ saa; sɛ ɛyɛ mmoa a ɔde boa afoforo a, ma omfi koma pa mu nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ akwankyerɛ a, ma no mfa nsi nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ ayamye a, ma ɔmfa anigye nyɛ.

9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdɔ yɛ nokware turodoo. Munkyi amumɔyɛ. Mommata nea eye ho.

10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

Momfa onuadɔ nnodɔ mo ho mo ho. Munni afoforo ni nsen mo ho.

11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Monkɔ so nyɛ nsi, monyɛ hyew wɔ honhom mu, na momfa ahosɛpɛw nsom Awurade.

12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Munnya anidaso mu anigye, amanehunu mu boasetɔ, na momfa gyidi mmɔ mpae.

13 Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Mone Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo a ahia wɔn no nkyɛ nea mowɔ. Mommɔ ahɔhoyɛ ho mmɔden.

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

Munhyira wɔn a wɔtaa mo no. Munhyira wɔn, na monnnome wɔn.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

Mo ne anigyefo ani nnye, na mo ne asufo nsu.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.

Mo ne afoforo ntena asomdwoe mu. Monnyɛ ahantan, na mmom momfa mo ho mmɔ mmɔborɔfo. Mummmu mo ho anyansafo.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

Mommfa bɔne ntua bɔne biara so ka. Monyɛ nea ɛbɛma nnipa de nidi ama mo.

18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

Sɛ ebetumi a, mo fam de, mo ne obiara ntena asomdwoe mu.

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.”

Monntɔ were me nnamfonom, na mmom momma Onyankopɔn abufuw ho kwan efisɛ wɔakyerɛw se, “Me na aweretɔ wɔ me, metua ka,” Awurade na ose.

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.”

Nanso, “Sɛ ɔkɔm de wo tamfo a, ma no aduan nni; sɛ osukɔm de no a, ma no nsu nnom. Na sɛ woyɛ saa a, woboaboa nnyansramma ano gu nʼatifi.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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