Romans 12
1 I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice — living, sanctified, acceptable to God — your intelligent service;
Koia ahau ka inoi nei ki a koutou, e oku teina, kia whakaaroa nga mahi a te Atua, kia tapaea atu o koutou tinana hei whakahere ora, tapu, e manakohia ana e te Atua, he mahi na to koutou hinengaro.
2 and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God — the good, and acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
Kaua hoki to koutou ahua e rite ki to tenei ao: engari kia puta ke, ara kia whakahoutia o koutou hinengaro, kia whakamatautauria ai e koutou ta te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manakohia ana, e tino rite ana. (aiōn g165)
3 For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki nga tangata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa i homai nei ki ahau, Kaua e hira ake te whakaaro o tetahi ki a ia ano i te mea i tika kia whakaaroa e ia; engari kia ata whakaaro, kia rite ki te wahi o te wha kapono i tuwhaina e te Atua ki tena, ki tena.
4 for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,
E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:
5 so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.
Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.
6 And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy — 'According to the proportion of faith!'
Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono;
7 or ministration — 'In the ministration!' or he who is teaching — 'In the teaching!'
He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;
8 or he who is exhorting — 'In the exhortation!' he who is sharing — 'In simplicity!' he who is leading — 'In diligence?' he who is doing kindness — 'In cheerfulness.'
Ko te kaiwhakahauhau, kia u ki tana whakahauhau; ko te kaihoatu, kia mahorahora te ngakau; ko te kaiwhakahaere kia uaua ki tana mahi, a ko te kaiatawhai kia ngahau te ahua.
9 The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.
10 in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.
11 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;
12 in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;
13 to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.
14 Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.
15 to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.
16 of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
Kia kotahi te whakaaro o koutou tetahi ki tetahi. Kaua e whakakake te whakaaro, engari me whakaiti ki nga mea papaku. Kei mea ake koutou he mohio koutou.
17 giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.
18 If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;
Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.
19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance [is] Mine,
Aua e rapu utu mo koutou, e oku hoa aroha, engari whakaatea atu i te riri: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki.
20 I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;
Na, ki te matekai tou hoariri, whangainga; ki te matewai, whakainumia: ki te penei hoki tau mahi, ka purangatia e koe he waro kapura ki tona matenga.
21 Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
