Bharumi 12
1 Henu nikabhasihi, bhalongobhangu, kwa k'esa kya muene K'yara, mujhibhosiajhi mibhele ghya muenga ijhelayi dhabihu jhajhikeka, takatifu, jhajhijhedekelibhwa kwa K'yara. Ejhe ndo ibada jha jhomu jhajhimaanisya.
I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.
2 Bhwala musijhikhesi namna jha dunia ejhe, bali msanusibhwayi kwa kubhomba kabhele nia sya muenga. Muketayi naha mkabhayi kumanya mapenzi gha K'yara ghaghajhele manofu, ghakumfurahisya ni kamilifu. (aiōn g165)
And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
3 Kwa ndabha nijobha, kwa ndabha jha neema jhanipelibhu, kwamba khila munu jha ajhele mugati mwa muenga ilondeka lepi kufikiri nesu juu jha muene kuliko kyajhilondeka kufikiri. Bali, jhikandonda afiki najhi kwa hekima kama ambavyo Kyara abhapelili khila mmonga kiasi fulani kya imani.
For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.
4 Kwa kujha tujhe ni fiungo fimehele mu mb'ele, umonga lakini sio fiungo fyoha fijhe ni mbombo jhimonga.
For even as we have many members in one body, and not all members have the same function;
5 Fefuefu tete jhatujhele twebhamehele tujhele mb'el'e umonga kwa Kristu, ni fiungo khila khimonga kijhe ni njinu.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.
6 Tujhe ni karama syasijhele patalipatali kwa kadiri jha neema jha mupelibhu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo unabii, najhibhombekajhi kadiri jha imani jha muene.
But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.
7 Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo huruma, na jhitumikayi. Ikajhiajhi jhongi ajhe ni karama jha kufundisya, basi, afundisiajhi.
If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.
8 Ikajhiajhi ni karama jha munu ndo faraja, basi, afarijiayi. Ikajhiayi karama jha munu ndo kuhomesya, abhombayi naha kwa ukarimu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kulongosya, na jhibhombekayi kwa bhuangalifu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kwa kulasya k'esa, na abhombayi kwa kuhobhoka.
Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.
9 Bhuganu bhusijhi ni unafiki: Mubhudadilayi bhuovu; mkamulayi ghaghajhele manofu.
Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.
10 Kuhusu luganu lwa bhalongo, mugananayi jhomu kwa jhomu. Kuhusu litengu, muheshimianayi jhomu kwa jhomu.
As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.
11 Kuhusu bidii, musijhi mutepetele. Kuhusu roho, jhijhelayi ni shaukhu. Kuhusu Bwana, mun'tumikilayi.
In your diligence be free from sloth. Be glowing in spirit. Slave for the master.
12 Muhobhokayi mu bhujasiri bhwa mujhe nabhu kuhusu magono ghaghihida. Mujhelayi ni subira mu matatisu gha muenga. Mudumuajhi mu kus'oka.
Rejoice in hope; be patient under affliction; continue stedfast in prayer.
13 Mushirikiajhi mu mahitaji gha bhaumini. Mulondayi njela simehele sysa kulasya bhukarimu.
Be liberal to needy saints. Practise hospitality.
14 Mubhatakilayi baraka bhoha bhabhakabhatesya muenga; mubhabarikiajhi na musibhalaani.
Bless your persecutors, bless, and curse not.
15 Muhobhokayi pamonga ni bhabhihobhoka mulelayi pamonga ni bhabhilela.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Mujhiajhi ni nia jhimonga jhomu kwa jhomu. Musifikiri kwa kwifuna, lakini mubhajhedekelayi bhanu bha hali jha pasi. Musijhi ni hekima juu jha mabhwasu gha jhomu mwebhene.
Have full sympathy with one another. Set not your minds on high affairs, but associate with lowly folk. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
17 Musindepi munu jhejhioha jhola bhuovu kwa bhuovu. Mubhombayi mambo manofu pamihu pa bhanu bhoha.
Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.
18 Kama jhibhwesekana, kaam kyajhibhekibhu kwa muenga, mujhelayi ni amani ni bhanu bhoha.
If it be possible, so far as it lies with you, be at peace with all men.
19 Bhapenzi, musikil'epes'eli kisasi mwebhene, lakini mujhijhepukilayi ghadhabu jha K'yara. Kwandabha jhilembibhu, “'kisasi kya nene; Nene nibetakulepa,' ijobha Bwana.”
Never revenge yourself, beloved, but leave the field clear for God’s wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
20 “Lakini ikajhiajhi adui ghwa jhobhi ajhe ni njala, ndesiajhi. Akajhelayi ni kiu, nywesiajhi. Kwandabha ukabhombayi naha, wibetakumpalila makaa gha muoto panani pa mutu ghwa muene.”
On the contrary, therefore, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will be heaping burning coals on his head.
21 Usishindwi ni bhubhibhi, bali bhutobhesiajhi bhubhibhi kwa bhwema.
Do not be overcome by evil, but be overcoming evil with good.
