Romans 12
1 I plead to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that all of you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Nʼchifukwa chake ine ndikukupemphani abale, mwa chifundo cha Mulungu, kuti mupereke matupi anu monga nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika ndi yokondweretsa Mulungu. Nsembeyi ndiye kupembedza kwanu kwa uzimu.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be all of you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that all of you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (aiōn g165)
Musafanizidwenso ndi makhalidwe a dziko lino koma musandulike pokonzanso maganizo anu. Ndipo mudzadziwa ndi kuzindikira chifuniro chabwino cha Mulungu chomwe ndi chokondweretsa ndi changwiro. (aiōn g165)
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Chifukwa cha chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ine, ndinena kwa aliyense wa inu kuti musadziyenereze nokha kuposa mmene mulili. Koma mudziganizire nokha modzichepetsa, molingana ndi muyeso wa chikhulupiriro chimene Mulungu wakupatsani.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Pakuti monga aliyense wa ife ali ndi thupi limodzi koma ziwalo zambiri, ziwalozi sizili ndi ntchito yofanana.
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Momwemonso mwa Khristu ife amene tili ambiri tipanga thupi limodzi ndipo chiwalo chilichonse ndi cholumikizika ku chinzake.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Ife tili ndi mphatso zosiyana, molingana ndi chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ife. Ngati mphatso ya munthu ndi kunenera, musiyeni ayigwiritse ntchito molingana ndi chikhulupiriro chake.
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;
Ngati ndi kutumikira, musiyeni atumikire. Ngati ndi kuphunzitsa, musiyeni aphunzitse.
8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ngati ndi kulimbikitsa, musiyeni alimbikitse. Ngati ndi kupereka kuthandiza osowa, musiyeni apereke mowolowamanja. Ngati ndi utsogoleri, musiyeni alamulire mosamala. Ngati ndi kuonetsa chifundo, musiyeni achite mosangalala.
9 Let love (agape) be without dissimulation. Detest that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Chikondi chikhale chopanda chinyengo. Dana nacho choyipa; gwiritsitsa chabwino.
10 Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Mukondane kwathunthu monga abale. Lemekezanani wina ndi mnzake kuposa inu eni.
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; (pneuma) serving the Lord;
Musakhale aulesi mʼmachitidwe anu. Khalani achangu mu mzimu ndipo tumikirani Ambuye.
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Kondwerani mʼchiyembekezo, pirirani mʼmasautso ndiponso khulupirikani mʼpemphero.
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Gawanani ndi anthu a Mulungu amene ali ndi chosowa. Cherezani alendo.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Adalitseni amene akuzunzani. Adalitseni ndipo musawatemberere.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Kondwani pamodzi ndi amene akukondwa ndipo lirani ndi amene akulira.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Muyanjane wina ndi mnzake. Musakhale onyada, koma lolani kuyanjana ndi anthu wamba. Musaganize kuti mumadziwa zonse.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Musabwezere choyipa ndi choyipa kwa aliyense. Samalitsani kuchita chabwino pamaso pa aliyense.
18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
Ngati nʼkotheka, khalani mwamtendere ndi aliyense monga momwe mungathere.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
Okondedwa anga, musabwezere choyipa, koma lekerani Mulungu. Pakuti kwalembedwa, “Kubwezera chilango nʼkwanga. Ndidzawalanga ndine,” akutero Ambuye.
20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.
Koma, “Ngati mdani wako ali ndi njala, mupatse chakudya. Ngati ali ndi ludzu, mupatse kanthu kakumwa. Pochita ichi, udzamuwunjikira makala amoto pamutu pake.”
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Musagonjetsedwe ndi choyipa, koma gonjetsani choyipa pochita chabwino.
