Romans 12
1 Wherefore, brethren, I beseech you, by the tender mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndamũthaitha tondũ wa ũrĩa Ngai anamũiguĩra tha, mwĩrute mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩtuĩke magongona marĩ muoyo, na matheru mangĩkenia Ngai, arĩ guo ũtungata ũrĩa wagĩrĩire na wa ma wa kũgoocithia Ngai.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind; that you may approve the will of God, which is good, and acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
Mũtikanahaananie ũhoro wanyu na maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno; no garũrũkai na ũndũ wa kwerũhio meciiria manyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũrĩhotaga kũmenya na gwĩtĩkĩra wendi ũcio wa Ngai, o wendi ũcio wake mwega ũrĩa wa kũmũkenagia, na mũkinyanĩru kũna. (aiōn g165)
3 Also, by the favor which is given to me, I charge every one of you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think modestly, as God has distributed to every one a portion of his faith.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa ndaaheirwo nĩ Ngai-rĩ, ngwĩra o mũndũ wothe wanyu atĩrĩ: Mũndũ ndakae gwĩtua mũnene gũkĩra ũrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtua, no nĩ kaba mũndũ eciiragie ũhoro wake we mwene na atue itua rĩagĩrĩru, kũringana na wĩtĩkio ũrĩa Ngai amũheete.
4 For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
O ta ũrĩa tũrĩ na ciĩga nyingĩ thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũmwe, nacio ciĩga ici ciothe itirutaga wĩra mũthemba ũmwe-rĩ,
5 so we, the many, are one body under Christ, and individually members of one another.
no taguo o na ithuĩ, o na twatuĩka tũrĩ aingĩ, tũrĩ mwĩrĩ ũmwe thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, na o kĩĩga nĩkĩohanĩtio na iria ingĩ ciothe.
6 Having, then, gifts, differing according to the favor which is given to us--if prophecy act according to the measure of faith--
Ningĩ nĩtũheetwo iheo itiganĩte, kũringana na wega ũrĩa tũheetwo. Angĩkorwo kĩheo kĩa mũndũ nĩ kũratha mohoro-rĩ, nĩahũthĩre kĩheo kĩu kũringana na ũrĩa wĩtĩkio wake ũigana.
7 if a ministerial office, in that office--if one is a teacher, in teaching--
Angĩkorwo nĩ gũtungata, nĩatungatage; na angĩkorwo nĩ kũrutana, nĩarutanage;
8 and the exhorter, in exhortation. Let him who distributes act with disinterestedness--him that presides, with assiduity--him that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
ningĩ angĩkorwo nĩ kũũmĩrĩria andũ, nĩakĩũmanagĩrĩrie; na angĩkorwo nĩ wa kũrũmbũiya mabata ma andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩakĩheanage na ũtaana; angĩkorwo nĩ wa gũtongoria, nĩatongoragie na kĩyo; ningĩ ũrĩa wa kũiguanĩra tha, nĩekage ũguo akenete.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor the evil--adhere closely to the good.
Wendani wanyu nĩũkoragwo nĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga. Thũũragai ũndũ ũrĩa mũũru; naguo ũndũ ũrĩa mwega mũkĩũrũmagie.
10 In brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate to one another--in honor, prefer one another.
Endanagai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, mũrĩ na wendani ta wa ciana cia ithe ũmwe. Na mũndũ nĩatĩĩage ũrĩa ũngĩ gũkĩra we mwene.
11 In business, be not slothful. Be fervent in spirit-- constant in serving the Lord.
Rutagai wĩra na kĩyo, na mũreke ngoro cianyu ihĩahĩage, mũgĩtungatagĩra Mwathani.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, steadfastly persevering in prayer.
Ikaragai mũkenete nĩ ũndũ mũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro, na mũkiragĩrĩrie hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, na mũikarage mũkĩhooyaga hĩndĩ ciothe.
13 Communicate to the necessities of the saints. Follow hospitality to strangers.
Teithagiai andũ a Ngai mabataro-inĩ mao. Tũũrai mũnyiitaga andũ ũgeni.
14 Bless them who persecute you--bless, and curse not.
Rathimagai andũ arĩa mamũnyariiraga; marathimagei na mũtikanamarume.
15 Rejoice with them who rejoice, and weep with them who weep.
Kenagai hamwe na arĩa marakena; na mũcakae na arĩa maracakaya.
16 Be of the same disposition toward one another. Do not care for high things; but accommodate yourselves to those which are humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Tũũrai mũiguanĩte mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. Tigagai gwĩtĩĩa, no mwĩtĩkagĩre kũgĩa ngwatanĩro na andũ arĩa matarĩ igweta. Tigagai kwĩona ta mũrĩ oogĩ.
17 To no one return evil for evil. Seek after things honorable in the sight of all men.
Mũtikaneke mũndũ ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa ũũru ũrĩa amwĩkĩte. Menyagĩrĩrai nĩguo mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa mangĩonwo magĩrĩire nĩ andũ othe.
18 What relates to you is, live in peace with all men, if possible.
Inyuĩ-rĩ, geragiai gũikarania na mũndũ o wothe na thayũ kũngĩhoteka.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
Arata akwa, mũtikanerĩhĩrie, no tigagĩriai mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai handũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Kũrĩhanĩria nĩ gwakwa; nĩ niĩ ngaarĩhanĩria,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga.
20 Therefore, if your enemy hunger, give him food: if he thirst, give him drink: for by doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ: “Thũ yaku ĩngĩkorwo ĩhũtiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe irio; ĩngĩkorwo nĩĩnyootiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe gĩa kũnyua. Gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, nĩkũmĩigĩrĩra makara ma mwaki mũtwe.”
21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Mũtikanatoorio nĩ ũũru, no tooragiai ũũru na wega.
