Romans 12
1 Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.
Bandeko, mpo na mawa oyo Nzambe atalisi biso, nazali kosenga na bino ete bokabaka banzoto na bino epai ya Nzambe lokola mbeka ya bomoi, ya bule mpe esepelisaka Nzambe. Ekozala mpo na bino losambo ya solo kolanda ndenge esengeli.
2 Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
Bomekolaka te bizaleli ya tango oyo, kasi bobongwana na nzela ya boyeisami sika ya mayele na bino, mpo ete bososolaka mokano ya Nzambe, oyo ezali malamu, esepelisaka Ye mpe ezali ya kokoka. (aiōn g165)
3 Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.
Pamba te na ngolu oyo epesameli ngai, nazali koloba na bino nyonso: bomikanisaka te koleka makoki na bino, kasi bomikanisaka na lolenge ya mayele, kolanda kondima oyo Nzambe apesi na moko na moko kati na bino.
4 Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not have the same function,
Pamba te ndenge kaka moko na moko kati na biso azali na biteni ebele kati na nzoto na ye, mpe eteni moko na moko ezalaka na mosala na yango,
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
ndenge wana mpe tozali nzoto moko kati na Klisto atako tozali ebele, mpe moko na moko kati na biso azalaka eteni ya nyonso mosusu.
6 Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;
Kolanda ngolu oyo epesameli biso, tozalaka na makabo ekesana. Boye tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kosakola asalelaka yango kolanda kondima,
7 if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the teaching;
tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kosala mosala songolo kati na Lingomba amipesaka na mosala yango, tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kopesa malakisi apesaka yango,
8 if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.
tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kolendisa alendisaka, tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kopesa apesaka na motema moko, tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kokamba akambaka na molende, mpe tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kosunga bato bakelela asungaka na esengo!
9 Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;
Tika ete bolingo ezalaka na lokuta te! Boyinaka makambo mabe, bokangamaka makasi na makambo malamu.
10 showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
Mpo na oyo etali bondeko, bolinganaka makasi kati na bino; mpo na oyo etali lokumu, bozalaka bato ya liboso ya kopesa yango na bato mosusu;
11 not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;
mpo na oyo etali mosala, bozalaka bagoyigoyi te; mpo na oyo etali Molimo, bopelaka na yango makasi; mpo na oyo etali Nkolo, bozalaka bawumbu ya malamu;
12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
mpo na oyo etali elikya, bozalaka na esengo makasi; mpo na oyo etali pasi, bokangaka mitema; mpo na oyo etali mabondeli, bozalaka na molende;
13 distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing hospitality.
mpo na oyo etali bosenga ya babulami, bosunganaka mpe boyambanaka malamu kati na bandako na bino.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Bopambolaka bato oyo banyokolaka bino; iyo, bopambolaka, kasi bolakelaka mabe te!
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
Bosepelaka elongo na bato oyo bazali kosepela, mpe bolelaka elongo na bato oyo bazali kolela.
16 Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.
Bobikaka na boyokani kati na bino mpe bozalaka na makanisi malamu mpo na baninga. Bozalaka na lofundu te, kasi bozalaka bato ya komikitisa. Bomimonaka te lokola bato bamikoka.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.
Bozongisaka mabe na mabe te. Bolukaka kosala makambo ya malamu na miso ya bato nyonso.
18 If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Lokola ekoki kosalema, mpe lokola bino nde bosengeli kopesa nzela, bozalaka na kimia na bato nyonso.
19 Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Balingami na ngai, bozongisaka te bino moko mabe na mabe, kasi bopesaka nzela na kanda ya Nzambe, pamba te ekomama: « Ngai nde nazongisaka mabe na mabe, Ngai nde nakofuta moto na moto, » elobi Nkolo.
20 Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Nzokande, « Soki monguna na yo azali na nzala, pesa ye bilei; soki azali na posa ya komela mayi, pesa ye mayi. Pamba te, soki osali bongo, okotondisa makala ya moto na likolo ya moto na ye. »
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
Kotika te ete mabe elonga na yo, kasi lukaka nde kolonga mabe na nzela ya kosala bolamu.
