Arumi 12
1 Kwa nyo nenda kunoba, mwalongo, kwa huruma yake Nnongo, mwipiyi yega yinu ibe sadaka yebi ngoto, yepeletike, yaiyeketya Nnongo, Aye nga ibada yinu yene mana.
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 Wala kene mupwatise na muna ya lunia yii, ila mugalambuke kwopangilwa mwayambe niya jino. Mupange nyoo mupate tanga pulaika kwa Nnongo gaga bile mazuri, ga kupulaisa na gabi kamili. (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 Mana nendo koya. kwa sababu ya uruma ya anipeyilwe, panga kila mundu ambae abile nkati yinu apalikwa kwa wasa sana usu juu ya mwene kuliko mwapalikwa wasa. Ila apalikwa wasa kwa hekima, katu mwaibile Nnongo apei kala yumo kiasi pulani cha aminiya.
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 Kwa kuwa twina iungo ya nannchima mu yega jimo, ila sio iungo yoti i na lyengo limo.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 Nga nyonyo, twenga twotubi bingi twi mundu yumo nkati ya Kirisitu, na iungo kila simo na nyine.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Twii na makalama gana nchima kwa kati urumo mwa mupeyilwe mana itei kalama ya mundu ni unabii, na ipangilwe kwa kadili ya aminiya kwake.
And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
7 Mene itei kalama ga mundu ga huduma na atumike. mana itei jwenge aina kalama ga pundisa bai apundise.
if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 Mana itei mungu jwenge kalama gake faliji, bai afaliji, Mana itei kalama ga mundu piya, apange nyo kwa karimu, mana itei mundu jwenge kalama gake ongosa, na ayendeli kwa uangalifu. mana itei mundu jwenge bonekana na huruma na iyendeli kwa pulaika.
if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Penda kana kube na ubocho, muchukii ubou, mukamwe gagabi gananoga.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Husu pendana alongo, mupendane mwabene na mwabene husu isima, mwisimiane wene kwa wene.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
11 Husu bidii, kene mulegeleke wamubile nawo husu roho mube na hamu husu Nngwana, mutumikie.
not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Mupalaike mu ujasili wa mubile nawo husu masoba gagaisa. Muba na lenda kwa matatiso ngino musinde loba.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Musiliki muga basikikwe baamini. Mupale ndela yanachima ya bonekana ukarimu.
contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Mwarobi baraka boti babatesa mwenga, mwabariki wala kene mwalaani.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Mupulai pamope na babapulaika, mulele pamope na babalela.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Mube na nia yimo mwenga kwa mwenga. kana muwase kwa kwipuna, mwayeketi bandu ba hali ya pae. Kene mube na hekima kwa mawaso yinu mwabene.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
17 Kana mwanepe mundu ywoywote ubaya kwa ubaya. Mupange makowe gananoga paminyo ga bandu boti.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
18 Mene ke wezekana, kati mwaibikilwe kayino mube na amani na bandu boti.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
19 Wopendilwe, kamwilepi kisasi mwabene ila mwipeye nyongo ya Nnongo. mana itiandikilwa “kisasi chango, nenga nalowa lepa, alongei Nngwana”.
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 Ila mmaya wako abi na njala, unise. Mana abi na nyota, mpei mache kwa mwanza mana apangite nyoo, ukalya makaa ga mwoto mu nde wake.
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 Kana ushindwe na ubaya, ila ubaya ushindwe kwa wema.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
