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.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual 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)
Don’t 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 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 everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person 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 don’t have the same function,
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 individually members of one another,
6 Nu akkuma ayyaana nuu kennameetti kennaa garaa garaa qabna. Yoo kennaan nama tokkoo raajii dubbachuu taʼe, inni akkuma amantii isaatitti haa dubbatu.
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7 Yoo tajaajiluu taʼe, haa tajaajilu; yoo barsiisuu taʼe, haa barsiisu;
or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, 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 who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows 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. Cling to that which is good.
10 Jaalala obbolummaatiin jabeessaa wal jaalladhaa. Ulfina walii kennuutti wal dorgomaa.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11 Gooftaa tajaajiluu keessatti hafuura gubaa qabaadhaa malee hinaaffaa hin dhabinaa.
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12 Abdiidhaan gammadaa; dhiphina obsaa; kadhannaatti cimaa.
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13 Qulqulloota rakkataniif waa gumaachaa. Keessummoota simadhaa.
contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14 Warra isin ariʼatan eebbisaa; eebbisaa malee hin abaarinaa.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
15 Warra gammadan wajjin gammadaa; warra booʼan wajjin booʼaa.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who 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. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
17 Nama kamiif iyyuu hammina hamminaan hin deebisinaa. Nama hunda duratti waan gaarii hojjedhaa.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18 Yoo dandaʼame, gama keessaniin nama hunda wajjin nagaan jiraadhaa.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, 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.
Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is 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.”
Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Gaarummaan hammina moʼi malee hamminaan hin moʼamin.
Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
