Romans 12
1 I Beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that yee giue vp your bodies a liuing sacrifice, holy, acceptable vnto God, which is your reasonable seruing of God.
Aboobo ndamusungwazya, nibakwesu, muluzyalo lwaLeza, mutule mibili yanu, ibe chipayizyo chuumi, chisalala, chitambulika kuli Leza. Eeyi njimilimo yabukombe bwanu itambulika.
2 And fashion not your selues like vnto this worlde, but bee yee changed by the renewing of your minde, that ye may prooue what that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God is. (aiōn g165)
Mutakozyanisigwi anchito zyanyika, pesi musanduke kukuchitulula kwamizeezo yanu. Amukachite eechi kuti mukazibe chibotu. Awumwi mbuli mweelwe walusyomo Leza ndwamupede. (aiōn g165)
3 For I say through the grace that is giuen vnto me, to euery one that is among you, that no man presume to vnderstande aboue that which is meete to vnderstand, but that he vnderstande according to sobrietie, as God hath dealt to euery man the measure of faith.
nkambo kuluzyalo oolu ndundakapegwa me ndambila boonse bali akati kanu, mutalibiliki ajulu kwinda mpumubede, pesi mbubo kuti, yeeya chakubeteka mubululami, umwi mbuli mweelwe walusyomo oolo Leza ndwamupede.
4 For as wee haue many members in one body, and all members haue not one office,
Mbuli mbutujisi zizo zijisi mulimu ukozyene.
5 So we being many are one body in Christ, and euery one, one anothers members.
Munzila ikozyene, iswebo tubayingi tuli mubili umwi muli Kkilisito, akuba zizo zilyimikilila kuli chimwi achimwi.
6 Seeing then that we haue gifts that are diuers, according to the grace that is giuen vnto vs, whether we haue prophecie, let vs prophecie according to the portion of faith:
Tulijisi zipego zisiyenesiyene kwiinda muluzyalo ndutwakapegwa.
7 Or an office, let vs waite on the office: or he that teacheth, on teaching:
Na chipeego chawumwi nchabusinsimi, ngachichitwe mbuli mweelwe walusyomo wakwe. Na chipego chawumwi nchakuwutawuka, amuleke akutawuke.
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that distributeth, let him doe it with simplicitie: he that ruleth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercie, with cheerefulnesse.
Na umwi ulachipego chakuyiisya, amuleke ayiisye. Na chipego chawumwi nchakusungwazya, amuleke asungwazye. Na chipego chawumwi nchakupa, amuleke achichite chabusungu. Na chipego chawumwi nchakutondezya nsoni, amuleke achichitwe chakubotelwa.
9 Let loue be without dissimulation. Abhorre that which is euill, and cleaue vnto that which is good.
Luyando lutali lwakupawupa. Amusesemwe kububi; Mukakatile kuli cheecho chibotu.
10 Be affectioned to loue one another with brotherly loue. In giuing honour, goe one before another,
Atala aluyando lwabunyina, amubotelwe umwi awumwi. Atala abulemu, mulemekane umwi awumwi.
11 Not slouthfull to do seruice: seruent in spirit seruing the Lord,
Atala abusongo, mutabi batolo. Atala amuuya, mube achiyandisyo. Atala aMwami, atumubelekele.
12 Reioycing in hope, pacient in tribulation, continuing in prayer,
Amukondwe chakulangizi, amuyume mumapenzi. Amusyomeke munkombyo.
13 Distributing vnto the necessities of the Saintes: giuing your selues to hospitalitie.
Amwabane mukubula kubantu boonse baLeza basalala. Amuyandule nzila zyiingi zyakutondezya buuya.
14 Blesse them which persecute you: blesse, I say, and curse not.
Amubalongezye aabo bamupenzya; Mulongezye alimwi mutatuki pe.
15 Reioyce with them that reioyce, and weepe with them that weepe.
Amukondwe aboobo bakondwe; Mulile abalila.
16 Be of like affection one towardes another: be not hie minded: but make your selues equall to them of the lower sort: be not wise in your selues.
Amube amuzeezo umwi kuli umwi awumwi. Mutaliyeeyi munzila zyakulisumpula, pesi mubatambule bantu balangilwa ansi. Mutabi basongo mumiyeeyo yanu.
17 Recompence to no man euill for euill: procure things honest in the sight of all men.
Mutabweedezyi chibi kuchibi. Muchite zintu zibotu mumeso abantu boonse.
18 If it bee possible, as much as in you is, haue peace with all men.
Na kachikonzeka kuti azibe kuli nduwe, kupona chalumuno abantu boonse.
19 Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord.
Mutabi lwanini nobayandwa, pesi amupe mweenya kubukali bwaLeza. Nkambo kulilembedwe kuti, “Kubweendezya nkukwangu, ndiyobweedezya mbwamba Mwami Leza.”
20 Therefore, if thine enemie hunger, feede him: if he thirst, giue him drinke: for in so doing, thou shalt heape coales of fire on his head.
“Pesi na sinkondonyokwe waba anzala, musanine. Na waba anyota, mupe anywe. Ikuti na wachita oobo, ulalundika makala amulilo amutwe wakwe.”
21 Bee not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with goodnesse.
Utazundwi abubi, pesi zunda bubi abubotu.
