Romans 12
1 I beseech you, therefore, my brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by a rational service of him.
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 conformed to this world; but be ye transformed, by the renovation of your minds: and discern ye what is the good and acceptable and perfect pleasure 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 And, by the grace given to me, I say to you all: Do not carry thoughts, beyond what ye ought to think; but think with modesty, as God hath distributed to each one his 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 as we severally have many members in one body, and all those members have not the same functions;
Abe ale si ŋutinu geɖewo le miaƒe ŋutilãwo ŋu, eye ŋutinu siawo katã mewɔa dɔ ɖeka o ene la,
5 so also we, who are collectively many persons, are one body in Messiah, and are naturally members of each other.
nenema ke wole Kristo hã ƒe ŋutilã ŋui, eye ŋutinu siawo nye wo nɔewo tɔ, ame sia ame hiã nɔvia.
6 But we have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. There is that of prophecy, according to the measure of his 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 And there is that of ministration, possessed by one in his ministry. And there is that of a teacher, in his teaching.
Ne wò nunanae nye be nàsubɔ ame bubuwo la, ekema nàsubɔ wo nyuie. Ne ènye nufiala la, nàfia nu nyuie.
8 And there is that of a consoler, in his consoling: And that of a giver, with simplicity: And that of a presider, with dexterity: And of a sympathizer, 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 not your love be guileful: but be haters of evil things, and adherers to good things.
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 Be affectionate to your brethren: and love one another. Be foremost in honoring one another.
Mitsɔ dadaviwo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ lɔ̃ mia nɔewo, eye mide bubu mia nɔewo ŋu wu miawo ŋutɔ mia ɖokuiwo.
11 Be active; and not slothful. Be fervent in spirit. Be laborers for our Lord.
Migagbɔdzɔ le vevidodo nu me o, ke boŋ mixɔ dzo le gbɔgbɔ me, eye misubɔ Aƒetɔ la kple dzi blibo.
12 Be joyful in your hope. Be patient under your afflictions. Be persevering 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 Be communicators to the wants of the saints. Be kind to strangers.
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 your persecutors: 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 who rejoice: and weep with them who weep.
Mikpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm la; mifa konyi kple ame siwo le konyi fam la.
16 What estimation ye make of yourselves, make also of your brethren. And indulge not high thoughts; but unite yourselves with the lowly minded. And be not wise in your own estimation.
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 And repay to no man evil for evil: but let it be your study to do good before 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 And if possible, so far as it dependeth on you, live in peace with every man.
Migawɔ dzre kple ame aɖeke o, ke boŋ minɔ anyi kple ame sia ame le ŋutifafa me abe ale si miate ŋui ene.
19 And be ye not avengers of yourselves, my beloved: but give place to wrath. For it is written: If thou dost not execute judgment for thyself, I will execute judgment for thee, saith God.
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 And if thy adversary be hungry, feed him: and if he be thirsty, give him drink. For if thou doest these things to him, thou wilt heap coals of fire on 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 ye not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
Mègana nu vɔ̃ naɖu dziwò o, ke boŋ tsɔ nu nyui wɔwɔ ɖu nu vɔ̃ dzii.
