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 beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] 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 be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye 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 say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

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

For even as we have many members in one body, and 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, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally 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.

And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;

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

or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his 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, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

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

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

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

In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honour preferring one another;

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

in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Abdiidhaan gammadaa; dhiphina obsaa; kadhannaatti cimaa.

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

13 Qulqulloota rakkataniif waa gumaachaa. Keessummoota simadhaa.

communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

14 Warra isin ariʼatan eebbisaa; eebbisaa malee hin abaarinaa.

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse 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.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.

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

Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honourable in the sight of all men.

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

If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at 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.

Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith 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 thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21 Gaarummaan hammina moʼi malee hamminaan hin moʼamin.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
