Abaruumi 12
1 Noolwekyo abooluganda mbeegayirira olw’okusaasira kwa Katonda, muwengayo emibiri gyammwe nga ssaddaaka ennamu entukuvu esanyusa Katonda, kwe kuweereza kwammwe okw’omwoyo.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 So temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino, naye mukyusibwe olw’okudda obuggya mu birowoozo byammwe okukakasibwa okusiimibwa kwa Katonda, okusanyusa era okw’amazima. (aiōn g165)
And do not 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 g165)
3 Kubanga njogera olw’ekisa kye naweebwa, eri buli muntu mu mmwe, obuteerowooza okusinga ekyo ky’asaanidde okulowooza, naye okulowoozanga nga yeegendereza, nga Katonda bwe yagabira buli muntu ekigera ky’okukkiriza.
For I say, through the grace that was given me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 Kubanga nga bwe tulina ebitundu ebingi mu mubiri ogumu, ebitundu ebyo byonna bikola emirimu gya njawulo.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 Noolwekyo nga bwe tuli omubiri ogumu mu Kristo, buli muntu kitundu ku mubiri ogumu ogwo.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Tulina ebirabo, ng’ekisa kye tulina bwe kyatuweebwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo, oba bunnabbi, ng’ekigera ky’okukkiriza bwe kiri,
And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
7 oba buweereza, mu buweereza, oba omu okuyigiriza, mu kuyigiriza;
if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 oba omulala okugumya banne mu kubazzaamu amaanyi, oba omulala mu kugaba, oba omulala, okufuga n’obunyiikivu, n’omulala okulaga ekisa nga musanyufu.
if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Mube n’okwagala okutaliimu bukuusa. Mukyawenga ekibi, munywererenga ku kirungi,
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 nga mwagalana mu kwagala okw’abooluganda, nga muwaŋŋana ekitiibwa,
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
11 mu kunyiikira so si mu kugayaala. Musanyukirenga mu mwoyo nga muweereza Mukama,
not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 nga musanyukira mu kusuubira, nga mugumiikiriza mu kubonaabona era nga munyiikira mu kusaba.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Mufengayo ku byetaago by’abantu ba Katonda, era mwanirizenga abagenyi.
contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Musabirenga ababayigganya; mubasabirenga so temubakolimiranga.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Musanyukirenga wamu n’abo abasanyuka, era mukaabirenga wamu n’abo abakaaba.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Buli muntu abeerenga mu mirembe muntu ne munne, nga temwegulumiza naye nga muba bakkakkamu. Temwekulumbazanga.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
17 Temusasulanga kibi olw’ekibi, naye mukolenga birungi byereere eri bonna.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
18 Mukolenga kyonna ekisoboka okutabagana n’abantu bonna;
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
19 abaagalwa, temuwalananga ggwanga, era ekiruyi mukirekere Katonda, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange, nze ndisasula,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
20 “Noolwekyo omulabe wo bw’alumwanga enjala, muliisenga; bw’alumwanga ennyonta muwenga ekyokunywa, bw’okola bw’otyo olimukumira amanda g’omuliro ku mutwe gwe.”
Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21 Towangulwanga kibi, naye wangulanga ekibi ng’okola obulungi.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
