Roomaa 12

1 Kanaafuu yaa obboloota, akka isin dhagna keessan aarsaa jiraataa, qulqullaaʼaa fi kan Waaqa gammachiisu gootanii dhiʼeessitaniif ani gara laafina Waaqaatiin isin kadhadha; kunis waaqeffannaa keessan kan hafuuraa ti.

I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service:

2 Fedhiin Waaqaa gaariin, gammachiisaanii fi kan mudaa hin qabne maal akka taʼe qorattanii akka mirkaneessuu dandeessaniif haaromfamuu qalbii keessaniitiin geeddaramaa malee addunyaa kana hin fakkaatinaa. (aiōn g165)

and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

3 Ani ayyaana naa kennameen tokkoo tokkoo keessan nan gorsaatii: Akka madaalii amantii kan Waaqni isinii kenne sanaatti qalbeeffannaadhaan waaʼee ofii keessanii yaadaa malee hamma yaaduu qabdanii olitti hin yaadinaa.

For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

4 Akkuma dhagni keenya kutaa baayʼee qabu, akkuma kutaawwan kunneenis hojii wal fakkaatu hin qabaatin sana

For we indeed have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office:

5 akkasuma immoo nu warri baayʼee taane Kiristoosiin dhagna tokkoo dha; tokkoon tokkoon kutaa dhagnaa kan walii isaanii ti.

so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

6 Nu akkuma ayyaana nuu kennameetti kennaa garaa garaa qabna. Yoo kennaan nama tokkoo raajii dubbachuu taʼe, inni akkuma amantii isaatitti haa dubbatu.

But having gifts differing according to the grace given unto us, whether prophecy, it is according to the analogy of faith;

7 Yoo tajaajiluu taʼe, haa tajaajilu; yoo barsiisuu taʼe, haa barsiisu;

or ministry, it is in the ministry; or he that teacheth, in teaching;

8 yoo jajjabeessuu taʼe, haa jajjabeessu; yoo warra rakkataniif kennuu taʼe, arjummaadhaan haa kennu; yoo bulchuu taʼe, jabaatee haa bulchu; yoo maaruu taʼe, gammachuun haa maaru.

or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; or he that giveth, with a single eye; he that presideth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Jaalalli keessan itti fakkeessuudhaan hin taʼin. Waan hamaa jibbaa; waan gaariitti maxxanaa.

Let love be free from hypocrisy. Abhorring the evil, cleaving to the good:

10 Jaalala obbolummaatiin jabeessaa wal jaalladhaa. Ulfina walii kennuutti wal dorgomaa.

kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

11 Gooftaa tajaajiluu keessatti hafuura gubaa qabaadhaa malee hinaaffaa hin dhabinaa.

not slothful in business; boiling over in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Abdiidhaan gammadaa; dhiphina obsaa; kadhannaatti cimaa.

rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 Qulqulloota rakkataniif waa gumaachaa. Keessummoota simadhaa.

communicating to necessities of the saints; pursuing hospitality.

14 Warra isin ariʼatan eebbisaa; eebbisaa malee hin abaarinaa.

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.

15 Warra gammadan wajjin gammadaa; warra booʼan wajjin booʼaa.

Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

16 Walii galteedhaan wajjin jiraadhaa. Warra jireenya gad aanaa jiraatan wajjin jiraadhaa malee hin koorinaa. Of hin tuulinaa.

Have the same mind toward one another, not thinking high things, but condescending to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Nama kamiif iyyuu hammina hamminaan hin deebisinaa. Nama hunda duratti waan gaarii hojjedhaa.

Returning to no one evil for evil; providing things beautiful in the sight of all men.

18 Yoo dandaʼame, gama keessaniin nama hunda wajjin nagaan jiraadhaa.

If possible, so far as it is within your power, living in peace with all men;

19 Yaa jaallatamtoota, dheekkamsa Waaqaatiif iddoo kennaa malee haaloo hin baʼinaa; Gooftaan, “Haaloo baasuun kan koo ti; ani gatii nan deebisa” jedha, jedhamee barreeffameeraatii.

avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it has been written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

20 Garuu, “Yoo diinni kee beelaʼe, beela baasi; yoo inni dheebotes, waan inni dhugu kenniif. Kana gochuu keetiin barbadaa ibiddaa mataa isaa irra tuulta.”

But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.

21 Gaarummaan hammina moʼi malee hamminaan hin moʼamin.

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
