< Romans 12 >
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
Ya mere, ụmụnna m, eji m obi ebere Chineke na-arịọ ka unu chee anụ ahụ unu dịka aja dị ndụ, dịkwa nsọ, ma bụrụkwa nke na-atọ Chineke ụtọ, nke bụkwa ofufe nke ime mmụọ unu.
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn )
Unu eyila ụwa nke a, kama bụrụnụ ndị enwoghara site nʼịgbanwe uche unu. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-enwe ike nwapụta ihe bụ uche Chineke na ihe ọ na-achọ, nke bụ ezi ihe, nke na-atọ ya ụtọ na nke zukwara oke. (aiōn )
3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
Dịka onyinye amara e nyere m siri dị, ana m adọ onye ọbụla nʼime unu aka na ntị sị, Unu atụkwasịla uche nʼechiche banyere onwe unu karịa ka o si kwesi. Kama, jirinụ obi dị umeala lee onwe unu anya dịka okwukwe Chineke nyere unu ha.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
Dịka anyị niile nʼotu nʼotu si nwe anụ ahụ nke nwere akụkụ dị iche iche, bụ akụkụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ dị iche iche,
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
nʼotu aka ahụ, nʼime Kraịst anyị bụ otu, nʼagbanyeghị na anyị bụ akụkụ dị iche iche nke otu anụ ahụ. E jikọtara anyị niile nʼotu nʼotu nye ibe anyị.
6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
Anyị nwere onyinye dị iche iche nke e sitere nʼamara nye anyị, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla nwere onyinye ibu amụma, ya buo ya dịka okwukwe o nwere ha.
7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
Ọ bụrụ ije ozi, ya jee ozi, ya bụrụkwanụ izi ihe, ya zie ihe.
8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ka onye nwere onyinye ịgbaume, gbaa ndị ọzọ ume, ya bụrụkwanụ inyeaka, ka onye nwere onyinye a site nʼafọ ofufu mee ya, ọ bụrụ ịbụ onyendu, ka onye ahụ duo site nʼikpachapụ anya, ya bụrụkwanụ ime ebere, ka onye ahụ jiri obi ụtọ na-eme ya.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
Ka ịhụnanya bụrụ nke ihu abụọ nʼadịghị na ya, kpọọ ihe ọjọọ asị, jidesie ihe dị mma ike.
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
Hụrịtanụ onwe unu nʼanya, dịka ụmụ nke otu nna. Ka ihe ibe unu na-eme na-atọ unu ụtọ. Na-asọpụkwaranụ ibe unu karịa otu ha si asọpụrụ unu.
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
Unu abụla ndị umengwụ nʼọrụ unu. Kama werenụ mmụọ na obi na-anụ ọkụ na-ejere Onyenwe anyị ozi mgbe niile.
12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
Nweenụ obi aṅụrị nʼime olileanya, nweenụ ntachiobi nʼime nsogbu, na-ekpekwanụ ekpere mgbe niile.
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
Na enyetụnụ ụfọdụ ndị nsọ ihe site nʼihe unu nwere iji gboo mkpa dịrị ha. Na-elekọtakwanụ ndị ọbịa anya nke ọma.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
Gọzienụ ndị na-akpagbu unu, gọzienụ ha, unu abụkwala ha ọnụ.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
Mgbe ndị ọzọ na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, soronụ ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Mgbe ha nọ nʼiru ụjụ, soronụ ha ruo ụjụ.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
Na-ebinụ nʼudo. A bụla onye mpako, unu na ndị ọnọdụ ha dị ala na-enwe mmekọrịta, echekwala na ị maara ihe niile.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
Ejikwala ihe ọjọọ akwụghachi ihe ọjọọ e mere gị. Kama, na-echenụ otu unu ga-esi mee ihe dị mma nʼanya mmadụ niile.
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
Dịka ike gị niile ha, mee ka gị na onye ọbụla biri nʼudo.
19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
Ndị enyi m, unu abọla ọbọ, kama hapụrụnụ Chineke ọrụ ịbọtara unu ọbọ. Nʼihi na e dere ya, “Ịbọ ọbọ dịrị m, aga m akwụghachi,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Ma otu ọ dị, “ọ bụrụ na agụụ na-agụ onye iro gị, were nri zụọ ya, ọ bụrụkwa na akpịrị na-akpọ ya nkụ, nye ihe ọṅụṅụ ka ọ ṅụọ, mgbe ị na-eme nke a, ị na-agụkwasị icheku ọkụ na-ere ere nʼisi ya.”
21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Unu ekwela ka ihe ọjọọ merie unu, kama werenụ ezi ihe merie ihe ọjọọ.
