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.
Os ruego, hermanos, por las misericordias de Dios, que presentéis vuestros cuerpos como hostia viva, santa, agradable a Dios ( en un ) culto espiritual vuestro.
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)
Y no os acomodéis a este siglo, antes transformaos, por la renovación de vuestra mente, para que experimentéis cuál sea la voluntad de Dios, que es buena y agradable y perfecta. (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].
Porque, en virtud de la gracia que me fue dada, digo a cada uno de entre vosotros, que no sienta de sí más altamente de lo que debe sentir, sino que rectamente sienta según la medida de la fe que Dios a cada cual ha dado.
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.
Pues así como tenemos muchos miembros en un solo cuerpo, y no todos los miembros tienen la misma función,
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!]
del mismo modo los que somos muchos, formamos un solo cuerpo en Cristo, pero en cuanto a cada uno somos recíprocamente miembros.
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].
Y tenemos dones diferentes conforme a la gracia que nos fue dada, ya de profecía ( para hablar ) según la regla de la fe;
7 [Those whom God has enabled] to serve [others] should do that. [Those whom God has enabled] to teach [his truth] should do that.
ya de ministerio, para servir; ya de enseñar, para la enseñanza;
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.
ya de exhortar, para la exhortación. El que da, ( hágalo ) con liberalidad; el que preside, con solicitud; el que usa de misericordia, con alegría.
9 Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what [God considers to be] good!
El amor sea sin hipocresía. Aborreced lo que es malo, apegaos a lo que es bueno.
10 Love one another as members of the same family do; and, you should be (the first ones/eager) to honor each other!
En el amor a los hermanos sed afectuosos unos con otros; en cuanto al honor, daos preferencia mutuamente.
11 Do not be lazy. [Instead], be eager [to serve the Lord] God!
En la solicitud, no seáis perezosos; en el espíritu sed fervientes; para el Señor sed servidores;
12 Rejoice because you are confidently awaiting [what God will do for you]! When you suffer, be patient! Keep praying and never give up!
alegres en la esperanza, pacientes en la tribulación, perseverantes en la oración;
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]!
partícipes en las necesidades de los santos; solícitos en la hospitalidad.
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.
Bendecid a los que os persiguen; bendecid, y no maldigáis.
15 If someone is joyful, you should rejoice also! If someone is sad, you should also be sad!
Gozaos con los que se gozan; llorad con los que lloran.
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.
Tened el mismo sentir, unos con otros. No fomentéis pensamientos altivos, sino acomodaos a lo humilde. No seáis sabios a vuestros ojos.
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!
No devolváis a nadie mal por mal; procurad hacer lo bueno ante todos los hombres.
18 Live peacefully with other people whenever it is possible, to the extent that you [can influence the situation].
Si es posible, en cuanto de vosotros depende, vivid en paz con todos los hombres.
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.”
No os venguéis por vuestra cuenta, amados míos, sino dad lugar a la ira ( de Dios ), puesto que escrito está: “Mía es la venganza; Yo haré justicia, dice el Señor”.
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].”
Antes por el contrario, “si tu enemigo tiene hambre, dale de comer; si tiene sed, dale de beber; pues esto haciendo amontonarás ascuas de fuego sobre su cabeza”.
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]!
No te dejes vencer por el mal, sino domina al mal con el bien.
