Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service.
Eya ta nɔvinyewo, le Mawu ƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la ta, mele ŋusẽ dom mi be miatsɔ miaƒe ŋutilãwo awɔ vɔsa gbagbe si le kɔkɔe, eye wòdzea Mawu ŋu, wòanye miaƒe subɔsubɔ gbɔgbɔmetɔ.
2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
Migazɔ ɖe xexe sia me ƒe nuɖoanyiwo nu o, ke boŋ mitrɔ to miaƒe tamesusuwo ƒe yeyewɔwɔ me, ekema miate ŋu anya, eye miakpɔ kakaɖedzi le nu si Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nye la ŋu; eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu si nyo, eye wòdze hede blibo la. (aiōn g165)
3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.
Le Mawu ƒe amenuveve ƒe nunana si wònam nu la, mele egblɔm na mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe be: migabu mia ɖokuiwo amegãwoe wu ale si dze o, ke boŋ mibu mia ɖokuiwo ɖokuibɔbɔlawoe le xɔse ƒe dzidzenu si Mawu na mi la nu.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:
Abe ale si ŋutinu geɖewo le miaƒe ŋutilãwo ŋu, eye ŋutinu siawo katã mewɔa dɔ ɖeka o ene la,
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
nenema ke wole Kristo hã ƒe ŋutilã ŋui, eye ŋutinu siawo nye wo nɔewo tɔ, ame sia ame hiã nɔvia.
6 And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;
Mawu na amenuveve ƒe nunana mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe be wòawɔ nu tɔxɛ aɖe nyuie. Eya ta ne Mawu na nunana wò be nàgblɔ nya ɖi la, ekema ele na wò be nàgblɔ nya ɖi ɣe sia ɣi si nàte ŋui kple zi geɖe ale si wò xɔse asẽ ŋu, ale be nàte ŋu axɔ nya tso Mawu gbɔ.
7 or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;
Ne wò nunanae nye be nàsubɔ ame bubuwo la, ekema nàsubɔ wo nyuie. Ne ènye nufiala la, nàfia nu nyuie.
8 or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ne ènye mawunyagblɔla la, ekema ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be ŋusẽ le yeƒe mawunya ŋu, eye wòkpena ɖe amewo ŋu. Ne Mawu na hotsui wò la, tsɔe nyo dɔ me, eye nàkpe ɖe ame bubuwo ŋu. Ne Mawu na dzikpɔkpɔ ƒe nunana wò, eye wòna be nàkpɔ ame bubuwo ƒe dɔwo dzi la, ele na wò be nàlé fɔ ɖe wò dɔdeasi sia ŋu vevie. Ele na ame siwo faa akɔ na konyifalawo la be woatsɔ kristotɔwo ƒe dzidzɔ awɔe.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Migalɔ̃ mia nɔewo le ŋkume ko o, ke boŋ milɔ̃ wo tso dzi vavã me ke. Milé fu nu vɔ̃. Mide nu nyui dzi.
10 In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honour preferring one another;
Mitsɔ dadaviwo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ lɔ̃ mia nɔewo, eye mide bubu mia nɔewo ŋu wu miawo ŋutɔ mia ɖokuiwo.
11 in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Migagbɔdzɔ le vevidodo nu me o, ke boŋ mixɔ dzo le gbɔgbɔ me, eye misubɔ Aƒetɔ la kple dzi blibo.
12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
Mikpɔ dzidzɔ le ɖoɖo siwo katã Mawu le wɔwɔm ɖe mia ŋu la ŋuti. Mido dzi le xaxawo me, eye mianɔ gbedodoɖa dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
13 communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
Ne ame kɔkɔewo ge ɖe hiã me la, miɖe wo tso eme. Mikpe amewo va miaƒe aƒewo me enuenu ne woaɖu nu kpli mi; ne dzeƒe hiã wo la, mina wo.
14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
Ne ame aɖe wɔ nu masɔmasɔ aɖe ɖe ŋuwò le wò kristotɔnyenye ta la, mègaƒo fi dee o; do gbe ɖa ɖe eta, eye nàyrae.
15 Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
Mikpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm la; mifa konyi kple ame siwo le konyi fam la.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Miwɔ dɔ kple mia nɔewo dzidzɔtɔe. Migado mia ɖokuiwo ɖe dzi glodzoo o. Migadze agbagba be yewoadze amegãwo ŋu o, ke boŋ mide ha kple ame gblɔewo. Migabu be yewonya nu sia nu o.
17 Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honourable in the sight of all men.
Migaɖo vɔ̃ vɔ̃ teƒe o. Miwɔ nyui, ale be ame sia ame nate ŋu akpɔe be mienye nyateƒetɔwo le goawo katã me.
18 If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.
Migawɔ dzre kple ame aɖeke o, ke boŋ minɔ anyi kple ame sia ame le ŋutifafa me abe ale si miate ŋui ene.
19 Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
Xɔ̃nye lɔlɔ̃awo, migabia hlɔ̃ na mia ɖokuiwo o. Migblẽ hlɔ̃biabia ɖe Mawu ƒe asi me, elabena eya ŋutɔe gblɔ be yeabia hlɔ̃ ame siwo dze na hlɔ̃biabia la.
20 But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
Le hlɔ̃biabia teƒe la, ne dɔ le wò futɔ wum la, na nuɖuɖui. Ne tsikɔ le ewum la, na tsii wòano. Ekema àna ŋu nakpee le nu si wòwɔ ɖe ŋuwò la ta.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Mègana nu vɔ̃ naɖu dziwò o, ke boŋ tsɔ nu nyui wɔwɔ ɖu nu vɔ̃ dzii.
