Aroma 12

1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndamũthaitha tondũ wa ũrĩa Ngai anamũiguĩra tha, mwĩrute mĩĩrĩ yanyu ĩtuĩke magongona marĩ muoyo, na matheru mangĩkenia Ngai, arĩ guo ũtungata ũrĩa wagĩrĩire na wa ma wa kũgoocithia Ngai.

I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 Mũtikanahaananie ũhoro wanyu na maũndũ marĩa mekagwo nĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno; no garũrũkai na ũndũ wa kwerũhio meciiria manyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũrĩhotaga kũmenya na gwĩtĩkĩra wendi ũcio wa Ngai, o wendi ũcio wake mwega ũrĩa wa kũmũkenagia, na mũkinyanĩru kũna. (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is―the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect. (aiōn g165)

3 Nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa ndaaheirwo nĩ Ngai-rĩ, ngwĩra o mũndũ wothe wanyu atĩrĩ: Mũndũ ndakae gwĩtua mũnene gũkĩra ũrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtua, no nĩ kaba mũndũ eciiragie ũhoro wake we mwene na atue itua rĩagĩrĩru, kũringana na wĩtĩkio ũrĩa Ngai amũheete.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

4 O ta ũrĩa tũrĩ na ciĩga nyingĩ thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũmwe, nacio ciĩga ici ciothe itirutaga wĩra mũthemba ũmwe-rĩ,

For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office,

5 no taguo o na ithuĩ, o na twatuĩka tũrĩ aingĩ, tũrĩ mwĩrĩ ũmwe thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, na o kĩĩga nĩkĩohanĩtio na iria ingĩ ciothe.

so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

6 Ningĩ nĩtũheetwo iheo itiganĩte, kũringana na wega ũrĩa tũheetwo. Angĩkorwo kĩheo kĩa mũndũ nĩ kũratha mohoro-rĩ, nĩahũthĩre kĩheo kĩu kũringana na ũrĩa wĩtĩkio wake ũigana.

Since, then, we have gifts which differ according to the grace that is given to us, whether we have the gift of prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 Angĩkorwo nĩ gũtungata, nĩatungatage; na angĩkorwo nĩ kũrutana, nĩarutanage;

or, if we have a ministry, let us be active in our ministry; if any one teaches, let him attend to his teaching;

8 ningĩ angĩkorwo nĩ kũũmĩrĩria andũ, nĩakĩũmanagĩrĩrie; na angĩkorwo nĩ wa kũrũmbũiya mabata ma andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩakĩheanage na ũtaana; angĩkorwo nĩ wa gũtongoria, nĩatongoragie na kĩyo; ningĩ ũrĩa wa kũiguanĩra tha, nĩekage ũguo akenete.

or, if any exhorts, let him attend to exhortation; if any one gives, let him do it with sincerity; he that rules, with diligence: he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Wendani wanyu nĩũkoragwo nĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga. Thũũragai ũndũ ũrĩa mũũru; naguo ũndũ ũrĩa mwega mũkĩũrũmagie.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good;

10 Endanagai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, mũrĩ na wendani ta wa ciana cia ithe ũmwe. Na mũndũ nĩatĩĩage ũrĩa ũngĩ gũkĩra we mwene.

in love to the brotherhood, be kindly affectionate one to another; in showing honor, be examples one to another;

11 Rutagai wĩra na kĩyo, na mũreke ngoro cianyu ihĩahĩage, mũgĩtungatagĩra Mwathani.

in what requires diligence, be not slothful; in spirit, be fervent; in service, be devoted to the Lord;

12 Ikaragai mũkenete nĩ ũndũ mũrĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro, na mũkiragĩrĩrie hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, na mũikarage mũkĩhooyaga hĩndĩ ciothe.

in hope, be joyful; in affliction, be patient; in prayer, be persevering;

13 Teithagiai andũ a Ngai mabataro-inĩ mao. Tũũrai mũnyiitaga andũ ũgeni.

administer to the necessities of the saints; be careful to entertain strangers;

14 Rathimagai andũ arĩa mamũnyariiraga; marathimagei na mũtikanamarume.

bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not;

15 Kenagai hamwe na arĩa marakena; na mũcakae na arĩa maracakaya.

rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep;

16 Tũũrai mũiguanĩte mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ. Tigagai gwĩtĩĩa, no mwĩtĩkagĩre kũgĩa ngwatanĩro na andũ arĩa matarĩ igweta. Tigagai kwĩona ta mũrĩ oogĩ.

cultivate the same disposition, one toward another: mind not high things, but conform yourselves to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits;

17 Mũtikaneke mũndũ ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa ũũru ũrĩa amwĩkĩte. Menyagĩrĩrai nĩguo mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa mangĩonwo magĩrĩire nĩ andũ othe.

repay to no one evil for evil; practice that which is honorable in the sight of all men.

18 Inyuĩ-rĩ, geragiai gũikarania na mũndũ o wothe na thayũ kũngĩhoteka.

If possible, as far as may be in your power, be at peace with all men.

19 Arata akwa, mũtikanerĩhĩrie, no tigagĩriai mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai handũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Kũrĩhanĩria nĩ gwakwa; nĩ niĩ ngaarĩhanĩria,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga.

Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written: Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

20 Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ: “Thũ yaku ĩngĩkorwo ĩhũtiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe irio; ĩngĩkorwo nĩĩnyootiĩ-rĩ, mĩhe gĩa kũnyua. Gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, nĩkũmĩigĩrĩra makara ma mwaki mũtwe.”

If, therefore, your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Mũtikanatoorio nĩ ũũru, no tooragiai ũũru na wega.

Be not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
