Warumi 12
1 Su, waganja wangu toziya lusungu likulu lya Mlungu kwa twenga, muzilaviyi nshimba zya mwenga kuwera tambiku nkomu, yaiwera nanagala na yayimfiriziya Mlungu. Ayi ndo njira nakaka ya mwenga ya kumguwira.
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 Namulikala makaliru ga pasipanu, kumbiti mulikali makaliru gakafira Mlungu. Mlungu katendi magalambula ga myoyu yamwenga kwa kugagalambula maholu ga mwenga. Shakapanu hamuwezi kugamana gakafira Mlungu na kushimana shitwatira shiheri shashimuherepeziya yomberi na shashikamilika. (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 Toziya ya manemu ga lifupu lya Mlungu kwa neni, nankumgambira kila muntu pakati penu, nagulihola nentu gumweni kuliku ntambu yagufiruwa kuwera. Kumbiti maholu genu gaweri na shyasi na guliholi gumweni kulawirana na njimiru ilii Mlungu yakakupananiti.
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 Twana viwungiru vivuwa munshimba yimu na kila shiwungiru shana lihengu lyakuwi.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 Ntambu iraa ayi tembera twenga tuvuwa, twenga twa nshimba yimu kwa kukolerana na Kristu na kila yumu kawera shiwungiru sha muyaguwi.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Su twenga tugatenderi mafupu getu ga ntambu yingiyingi kulawirana na manemu ga Mlungu gakatupananiti. Handa lifupu lya twenga ndo kubwera ujumbi wa Mlungu, tufiruwa tutendi kulawirana na njimiru yatuwera nayu.
And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
7 Handa twana lifupu lya kutendera, su tutendi. Handa twana lifupu lya kufunda, su tufundi.
if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 Handa twana lifupu lya kuwatenda wamonga waweri na moyu, su tufiruwa tutendi. Handa twana lifupu lya kulaviya, su tufiruwa kulaviya kwa moyu guherepa. Handa twana lifupu lya kugolokera lihengu, su tufiruwa tugolokeri kwa kugangamala. Handa twana lifupu lwa kuwonera lusungu, su tufiruwa kutenda hangu kwa nemeleru.
if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Mafiliru genu gafiruwa gakamiliki. Mshikalaliri shitwatira shoseri shikondola, mtendi galii gaherepa.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Mulifiri maweni na kila yumu kamuholi kwanja muyaguwi kwa ligoya.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
11 Muweri wagangamala mulihengu, namuwera goyigoyi. Mumtenderi Mtuwa kwa moyu gwagunemelera.
not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Litumbiru lyenu liwatendi mwenga munemeleri, muweri wahepelera muntabika zyaku na msali mashaka goseri.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Muwapanani wantu wa Mlungu muvintu vyawafira na muwashemeri wahenga ukaya kwenu.
contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Mumluwi Mlungu kawatekeleri woseri yawawatabisiya, mumluwi yomberi kawatekeleri na namuwapangira.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Munemeleri pamuhera na yawawera na nemeleru, mlili pamuhera na woseri yawalira.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Mulikali kwa ponga pakati penu. Namuwera na msindu kumbiti mwenga mnanagali. Namulihola maweni kuwera mwawaherepa kuliku wantu wamonga.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
17 Handa muntu yoseri pakakutendera vidoda, gwenga nagumtendera vidoda viraa yomberi. Gwenga gutendi gaherepa kulongolu kwa woseri.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
18 Gutendi shoseri shashiwezekana kuwera na ponga na kila muntu.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
19 Waganja wangu namuwuzilira shisasi, kumbiti mumlekeli Mlungu shitwatira ashi. Mtuwa kalonga Mumalembu Mananagala, “Hambuziliri shisasi, handipi.”
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 Nentu ga aga, Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Handa mngondu gwaku pakawera na njala, gumpanani shiboga, pakawera na kwimuluwa, gumpanani mashi kalandi. Kwa kutenda hangu hagumtendi kapati soni nentu gambira makala ga motu pa mtuwi gwakuwi.”
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 Naguleka vidoda vikusindi, kumbiti guwusindi ukondola kwa uheri.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
