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.

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 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)

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 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.

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, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

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, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

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 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;

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

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;

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

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.

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 Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

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

10 Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;

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

11 Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;

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

12 Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

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

13 Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

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

14 Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.

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

15 Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

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

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.

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

17 Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

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

18 As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

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