< Ndị Rom 12 >
1 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.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service.
2 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 )
And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn )
3 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.
For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.
4 Dịka anyị niile nʼotu nʼotu si nwe anụ ahụ nke nwere akụkụ dị iche iche, bụ akụkụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ dị iche iche,
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:
5 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.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
6 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.
And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;
7 Ọ bụrụ ije ozi, ya jee ozi, ya bụrụkwanụ izi ihe, ya zie ihe.
or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;
8 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.
or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Ka ịhụnanya bụrụ nke ihu abụọ nʼadịghị na ya, kpọọ ihe ọjọọ asị, jidesie ihe dị mma ike.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 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.
In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honour preferring one another;
11 Unu abụla ndị umengwụ nʼọrụ unu. Kama werenụ mmụọ na obi na-anụ ọkụ na-ejere Onyenwe anyị ozi mgbe niile.
in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Nweenụ obi aṅụrị nʼime olileanya, nweenụ ntachiobi nʼime nsogbu, na-ekpekwanụ ekpere mgbe niile.
rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
13 Na enyetụnụ ụfọdụ ndị nsọ ihe site nʼihe unu nwere iji gboo mkpa dịrị ha. Na-elekọtakwanụ ndị ọbịa anya nke ọma.
communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Gọzienụ ndị na-akpagbu unu, gọzienụ ha, unu abụkwala ha ọnụ.
Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
15 Mgbe ndị ọzọ na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, soronụ ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Mgbe ha nọ nʼiru ụjụ, soronụ ha ruo ụjụ.
Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
16 Na-ebinụ nʼudo. A bụla onye mpako, unu na ndị ọnọdụ ha dị ala na-enwe mmekọrịta, echekwala na ị maara ihe niile.
Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Ejikwala ihe ọjọọ akwụghachi ihe ọjọọ e mere gị. Kama, na-echenụ otu unu ga-esi mee ihe dị mma nʼanya mmadụ niile.
Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honourable in the sight of all men.
18 Dịka ike gị niile ha, mee ka gị na onye ọbụla biri nʼudo.
If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.
19 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.
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
20 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.”
But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
21 Unu ekwela ka ihe ọjọọ merie unu, kama werenụ ezi ihe merie ihe ọjọọ.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
