Romans 12
1 For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.
Neco mobanse, pakwinga Lesa latwinshili nkumbo shinene shilicisa, ndamusengengeti mulibenge mobene kuba cipo ciyumi kuli Lesa, yalibenga ku ncito yakendi kayi yakondwelesha Lesa. Yopeleyi enshila yancinencine yakukambililamo Lesa.
2 And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God. (aiōn g165)
Kamutalibika mubwikalo bwaipa bwa bantu bapacishi capanshi, nsombi lekani Lesa asandule buyumi bwenu bonse, pakumupani miyeyo ya linolino. Neco nimucikonshe kwinshiba Lesa mbyalayandanga, kayi nimwinshibe bintu byaina, byaloma kayi byeshikukondwelesha Lesa. (aiōn g165)
3 But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.
Pacebo ca cipo cakwina moyo kwakendi, Lesa walankuwa kwambeti mbe mutumwa. Ndamwambilinga mwense kwambeti kamutalibona kuba bamano kupita momubelele. Kayi miyeyo yenu ibe yalicepesha, kwelana ne lushomo Lesa ndwalapa uliyense pakati penu.
4 For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,
Mubili umo wa muntu ukute bilama bingi, nomba cilama ciliconse cikute incito yaco.
5 So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;
Copeleco ne njafwe nambi tobangi, njafwe mubili umo, bekatanishiwa pamo muli Klistu, kayi twense umo ne umo ukute lubasu lwakendi, njafwe bilama byekatana.
6 And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;
Tukute bipo byapusana pusana mbuli Lesa mwalatuyabila mu kwina moyo kwakendi. Na cipo cetu nicakwamba mulumbe ulafumunga kuli Lesa, tucisebenseshe cena kwelana ne lushomo lwetu.
7 Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;
Na cipo cetu nicakusebensa, tusebense cakubinga. Na nicakwiyisha, twiyishe cangofu.
8 He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.
Na nicakuyuminisha nabambi, tubayuminishe cangofu. Shikuyabila banendi bintu mbyakute ayabe ne moyo wonse. Mutangunishi, asebense incito shakendi mwakulibilika. Shikulesha nkumbo kubantu bambi, aleshe mwakukondwa.
9 Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.
Lusuno lube lwancine ncine. Mupelane ne bintu byaipa ne kubika myoyo pakwinsa byaina.
10 Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;
Musunanenga umo ne munendi ne moyo wonse, kayi mwinsenga kupikishana pakupana bulemu pakati penu.
11 Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;
Kamusebensani cangofu, kamutaba batolo. Sebenselani Lesa mwakulibenga ne moyo wenu wonse.
12 Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,
Kamubani bakondwa pa kupembelela kwenu. Kamutatetukanga cindi ca mapensho, kayi mupailenga cindi conse.
13 Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.
Mubengenga bintu byakunyamfwilisha ba klistu banenu babulilwa, kayi kamutambulanga bensu mwakukondwa.
14 Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
Sengani Lesa kwambeti abaleleke abo bakute kumupensha. Ee, sengani kwambeti abaleleke, kamutabashingana sobwe.
15 Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.
Kamukondwani nabo abo balakondwaga, kayi lilani nabo abo balalilinga.
16 Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
Munyumfwanenga cena, kayi mutalitukumunanga, nsombi mwikatanenga nabo bantu bulyo. Mutalibonanga bamano.
17 Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.
Muntu amwinshila caipa kamutamubweshela caipa. Kamweleshani kwinsa ibyo bantu bonse mbyobakute kuboneti byaina.
18 As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.
Na ngacikonsheka kamwikalani mulumuno ne bantu bonse.
19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.
Mobanse bame kamutabweshela caipa, nsombi balekeni. Bukalu bwa Lesa endibo bweshi bukabape cisubulo. Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Kubweshela ni kwakame, ninkabape cisubulo, lambangeco Wangofu Shonse.”
20 But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.
Nomba kayi mbuli Mabala ncalambanga, “Na mulwani wakobe lanyumfu nsala mupe cakulya. Na lanyumfu nyotwa, obe mupe menshi akunwa. Wenseco nukabeti ulamubiki makalangasha amulilo pamutwi wakendi.”
21 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.
Kamutaleketi byaipa bimukome nsombi komani byaipa pakwinsa byaina.
