Romans 12
1 My fellow believers, since God has acted mercifully [toward you] in so many ways, I appeal to [all of] you that you present yourselves [SYN] [to him by making yourselves like] holy sacrifices [MET]. [Make yourselves sacrifices] that he is pleased with, sacrifices that are living/alive, [not ones that are dead/killed. Since God has done so much for you/us], this is the [only] appropriate way to serve him.
Guyugoyenkayo ngarud kakabsat, babaen iti asi ti Dios, nga idatagyo dagiti bagiyo a kas daton a sibibiag, nasantoan, ken makaay-ayo iti Dios. Daytoy ti rumbeng a panagserbiyo.
2 Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
Saankayo nga umanamong iti daytoy a lubong, ngem ipalubosyo a mabalbaliwankayo babaen iti pannakapabaro iti panunotyo. Aramidenyo daytoy tapno maammoanyo ti nasayaat, makaay-ayo ken naan-anay a pagayatan ti Dios. (aiōn g165)
3 Because God has kindly appointed me [to be his apostle], which I did not deserve, I say this to every one of you: Do not think about yourselves more highly than what is right for you to think! Instead, think [about yourselves] in a sensible way that [corresponds to the abilities] that God has given you [because] you trust [in Christ].
Ta ibagak, gapu iti parabor a naited kaniak, a tunggal maysa nga adda kadakayo ket saanda koma a panunoten nga ad-adda a nangato ti bagbagida ngem iti ipagarupda. Ngem ketdi, agpanunotda koma iti nainsiriban a wagas, a kas maiyannurot iti dagup ti pammati nga inted ti Dios iti tunggal maysa.
4 Although a person has one body, it consists of many parts. All of the parts are needed for [the body], but they do not all function the same way.
Ta adu ti kamkamengtayo iti maysa a bagi, ngem saan nga amin a kamkameng ket agpapada ti pakaaramatanda.
5 Similarly we, [although we are] many, are [united into] one group because of our relationship with Christ, and we belong to one another. [So no one should act as though he] is needed by God more [than others are!]
Iti isu met laeng a wagas, datayo nga adu ket maysa a bagi kenni Cristo, ken saggaysa a kamkameng iti maysa ken maysa.
6 [Instead], since each one of us can do various things that differ according to the abilities that [God has] given to us, [we should do them diligently and cheerfully]! Those whom [God has enabled] to speak messages from him [should speak] what corresponds to what they believe [God told them].
Addaantayo kadagiti agduduma a sagsagut segun iti parabor a naited kadatayo. No panangipadto ti sagut ti maysa, maaramid koma daytoy segun iti rukod ti pammatina.
7 [Those whom God has enabled] to serve [others] should do that. [Those whom God has enabled] to teach [his truth] should do that.
No panagserbi ti sagut ti maysa, bay-anyo nga agserbi isuna. No panangisuro ti sagut ti maysa, bay-anyo nga agisuro isuna.
8 Those [whom God has enabled to] encourage/exhort [his people] should do that. Those who share [their goods/money with others] should do it sincerely/generously. Those who lead [the congregation] should do it wholeheartedly. Those who help the needy should do it cheerfully.
No panangparegta ti sagut ti maysa, bay-anyo a mangparegta isuna. No pannangted ti sagut ti maysa, bay-anyo nga aramidenna a sibubuslon. No panangidaulo ti sagut ti maysa, maaramid koma nga addaan panagannad. No panangaasi ti sagut ti maysa, maaramid koma nga addaan ti kinaragsak.
9 Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what [God considers to be] good!
Awan koma ti panaginsisingpet ti ayat. Guraenyo ti dakes; salimetmetanyo ti nasayaat.
10 Love one another as members of the same family do; and, you should be (the first ones/eager) to honor each other!
No maipapan iti panagayat kadagiti kakabsat, naayatkayo koma iti tunggal maysa. No maipapan iti panangdayaw, raemenyo koma iti tunggal maysa.
11 Do not be lazy. [Instead], be eager [to serve the Lord] God!
No maipapan iti kinagagaget, saankayo nga agduadua. No maipapan iti espiritu, nagagarkayo koma. No maipapan iti Apo, agserbikayo kenkuana.
12 Rejoice because you are confidently awaiting [what God will do for you]! When you suffer, be patient! Keep praying and never give up!
Agrag-okayo iti namnama nga adda kadakayo maipanggep iti masakbayan. Agibturkayo kadagiti pakariribukanyo. Kankanayonkayo nga agkarkararag.
13 If any of God’s people lacks anything, share with them [what you have]! Readily take care of [travelers who need a place to stay]!
Makipagpasetkayo kadagiti kasapulan dagiti namati. Mangsapulkayo kadagiti adu a wagas a mangipakita iti panangsangaili.
14 [Ask God to] be kind to those who (persecute you/cause you to suffer) [because you believe in Jesus! Ask him to] be kind to them; do not [ask him to] cause bad things to happen to them.
Bendisionanyo dagiti mangidadanes kadakayo; mangbendisionkayo ken saankayo a mangilunod.
15 If someone is joyful, you should rejoice also! If someone is sad, you should also be sad!
Makipagragsakkayo kadagiti agragragsak, makipagsangitkayo kadagiti agsangsangit.
16 Desire for others what you desire for yourselves (OR, Live harmoniously with each other)! Do not do things because you want to be [famous]! Instead, be content to do [tasks that others consider that only] unimportant people do (OR, [to associate with unimportant] people). Do not consider yourselves wise.
Masapul nga agpapada ti kapanunotanyo iti tunggal maysa. Saankayo nga agpanunot iti napasindayag a wagas, ngem awatenyo dagiti napakumbaba a tattao. Saankayo a mammasirib kadagiti bukodyo a panpanunot.
17 Do not do something evil to anyone [who has done] something evil to you. Act in a way that all people will recognize as good!
Awan ti supapakanyo iti dakes gapu iti dakes. Agaramidkayo kadagiti naimbag a banbanag iti imatang ti amin a tattao.
18 Live peacefully with other people whenever it is possible, to the extent that you [can influence the situation].
No mabalin, agingga iti kabaelanyo, makikapiakayo iti amin a tattao.
19 [My fellow believers] whom I love, do not do something evil in return when people do something evil to you! Instead, allow [God] to punish them [MTY], because it is {someone has} written [in the Scriptures that] the Lord [said], “‘It is my responsibility to take revenge; I am the one who will punish [people who do something something evil to you] [DOU],’ says the Lord.”
Patpatgek, saanyo nga ibalsan dagiti bagbagiyo, ngem wayaanyo ti pungtot ti Dios. Ta naisurat, “Kukuak ti panangibales; supapakakto,' kuna ti Apo.
20 Instead of [doing something evil to those who have done something evil to you], [do as the Scriptures teach]: “If your [(sg)] enemies are hungry, feed them! If they are thirsty, give them something to drink! By doing that, you [(sg)] will cause them to feel ashamed [and perhaps they will change their attitude toward you] [IDM].”
“Ngem no mabisin ti kabusormo, pakanem. No mawaw isuna, ikkam ti inumenna. Ta no aramidem daytoy, mangigabsuonkanto kadagiti beggang ti apuy iti ulona.”
21 Do not let evil [things that others have done to you] overcome you [(sg) by making you do evil things to them!] [PRS] Instead, overcome the evil [things that they have done] by [doing] good [deeds to them]!
Saanka nga agpaabak iti dakes, ngem abakem ti dakes babaen iti nasayaat.
