Bhaloma 12
1 Kwa nneyo, ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa ligongo lya shiya sha a Nnungu, ntamangananje mbuti mbepei ya a Nnungu, ikwete ukonjelo na ikwaanonyela a Nnungu, kweneko ni kutindibhalila kwenunji kukwete mana.
I exhort therefore you, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present the bodies of you a sacrifice living holy well-pleasing to God which is the reasonable service of you.
2 Wala nnakagulilanje ikubho ya pashilambolyo, ikabhe ntendebhuywanje ndumbililo yenunji ibhe ya ambi, nkupinga mmanyanje ukoto indu ibhapinga a Nnungu, indu ya mmbone ya kwaanonyeya na ya kamilika. (aiōn g165)
And not (do be conformed *NK(o)*) to the age this, but (do be transformed *NK(o)*) by the renewing of the mind (of you *k*) for to prove by you what [is] the will of God good and well-pleasing and perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 Kwa nema jimbegwilwe na a Nnungu, ngunakummalanjilanga mmowe kuti, anapagwe mundu akwiiganishiya nkulungwa kupunda shaapinjikwa, ikabhe akole ng'aniyo ya kweli ilundana na shipimilo sha ngulupai kila mundu shapegwilwe na a Nnungu.
I say for through the grace which having been given to me to everyone who is being among you, not to be high-minded above what it behooves [you] to think, but to think so as to be sober-minded, to each as God has allotted a measure of faith.
4 Pabha, malinga nshiilu ishipagwa ibhalo yaigwinji, na yowe ikatenda liengo limo,
Just as for in one body many members we have, now the members all not the same have function,
5 nneyo peyo na uwe nkali tuli tubhabhagwinji, tushibha shiilu shimo nkulundana na a Kilishitu na shibhalo sha kila mundu shishilundana na shibhalo shika nnjakwe.
so the many one body we are in Christ, (*N(k)O*) and individually one of another members.
6 Bhai, tushipegwa kila mundu na shipaji shakwe kwa nema. Apegwilwe shipaji sha londola, alondole malinga shijili ngulupai jakwe.
We are having however gifts according to the grace which having been given to us different, if prophecy according to the proportion of the faith,
7 Apegwilwe shipaji sha utumishi, atumishe. Apegwilwe kujiganya, ajiganye.
or service in the service, or the [one] teaching in the teaching,
8 Apegwilwe kutaga ntima ataje ntima. Apegwilwe ntuka alaguye kwa ntima gowe. Nkulongoya na alongoye ukoto. Na akwete shipaji sha bhonela shiya, atende nneyo kwa angalala.
or the [one] exhorting in the exhortation, the [one] giving in generosity, the [one] leading with diligence, the [one] showing mercy with cheerfulness.
9 Kupingana kunabhe na ugulumba. Muishimanje yangali ya mmbone, nkamulilanje ya mmbone.
[Let] love [be] unfeigned. abhorring evil, cleaving to good;
10 Nng'ishimiyananje mwaashayenenji malinga bha ulongo shibhakuti ishimiyana.
in brotherly love to one another devoted in honor one another esteeming,
11 Ntumbilanje, nnakolanje ukata mmitima jenunji, nkwaatendela liengo Bhakulungwa.
in diligence not lagging, in spirit being fervent, the (Lord *NK(O)*) serving,
12 Nng'angalalanje nnikulupalilanga, na nshilaje mwiipilililanje, na nnilonjeyanga nkujuga Nnungu.
in hope rejoicing, in tribulation being patient, in prayer being constant,
13 Mwaajangutilanje bhandunji bha ukonjelo bhalinginji nshilaje. Nnikwaposhelanga bhajeninji kwa ntuka.
to the needs of the saints contributing, hospitality pursuing;
14 Mwaajujilanje mboka kwa a Nnungu bhowe bhakunshimanga, mwaajujilanje mboka na wala nnaaloshanje.
do bless those persecuting you; do bless and not do curse.
15 Nng'angalalanje pamo na bhaangalalanga, na nngutanje pamo na bhaagutanga.
to rejoice with the rejoicing, (and *k*) to weep with the weeping.
16 Ntamangane pamo kwa ulele. Nnaipunanje, ikabheje mwaapinganje nkali bhandu bha nyegala. Nnaipunilanje lunda lwenunji.
the same thing toward one another minding, not the [things] haughty minding, but with the lowly going along. Not do be wise in yourselves.
17 Nnampindikulilanje mundu yangali ya mmbone kwa ligongo lya yangali ya mmbone yantendilenje. Ntendaanje ya mmbone ku bhandu bhowe.
To no one evil for evil repaying, providing right before all men;
18 Kila puikomboleka, ntamangananje kwa ulele na bhandunji bhowe.
if possible of you with all men living at peace,
19 Ashaalongo ajangu, nnapindikulilanje, ikabheje nnekanje bhajipatanje nnjimwa ja a Nnungu, pabha Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, Bhakulungwa bhakuti, “Kupindikulila ni kwangu nne, nne shimbindikulile.”
never yourselves avenging, beloved, instead do give place to wrath; it has been written for: Mine [is] vengeance, I myself will repay, says [the] Lord.
20 Punda penepo Majandiko gakuti, “Mpwai nnjenu akolaga shibhanga, mumpe shalya, na akolaga nnjota, mumpe mashi, pabha punkutenda nneyo nnakumpalila makala ga moto pa ntwe gwakwe.”
(On the contrary *N(K)O*) If shall hunger the enemy of you, do feed him; if he shall thirst, do give drink him; this for doing coals of fire you will heap upon the head of him.
21 Yangali ya mmbone inankombole, ikabheje mwiikombole kwa tenda ya mmbone.
Not do be overcome by evil but do overcome with good evil.
