Walumi 12
1 Eshi hwego embasunda, mwaholo, hwusanjilo zyakwe Ongolobhe, gafumii amabele genyu ebhe dhabihu yeli enyomi, ezelu humwoyo yeposhelelwa hwa Ngolobhe. Ene ibada yenyu eye lyoli.
And so, I beg you, brothers, by the mercy of God, that you offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, with the subservience of your mind.
2 Wala mgajehwazizye amambo gepa pansi epa, huje tigaluzanyiwe abhehwe bhapya esebho zyetu. Bhombaji eshi mposhele amanye olugano lwa Ngolobhe gagali miza, agahukhodele na humalishilo. (aiōn g165)
And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 Eshi eyanga, hwusababu yewene yepebhilwe, huje kila muntu wahweli pandwemo namwe sahwaziwa asebhe natele humwanya yakwe yuyo ashile sashihwaziwa asebhe. Huje, hahahwaziwa asebhaje hwunshinshi huje nashi Ongolobhe abhapiye kila omo hashe ahantu hee lweteho.
For I say, through the grace that has been given to me, to all who are among you: Taste no more than it is necessary to taste, but taste unto sobriety and just as God has distributed a share of the faith to each one.
4 Hwa huje tine vintu vinji ashilile mbele gumo, lakini sevintu vyoti vine mbombo emo.
For just as, within one body, we have many parts, though all the parts do not have the same role,
5 Shesho ate, tetilibhinji tilibele gumo ashilile uKilisiti, na evikhatazizyo kila omo hwawa mwabho.
so also we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one is a part, the one of the other.
6 Tiline kalama zyezili mjinjinyinji hwuwene yetipewilwe. Kebhabhe kalama eyamuntu okuwa, na ebhombeshe hwuwezo gwe lweteho lwakwe.
And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith;
7 Kebhabhe ekalama ya muntu huduma, na abhombaje. Nkebhahe owenje ane kalama eyafundizye, hwa huje afudizyaje.
or ministry, in ministering; or he who teaches, in doctrine;
8 Nkebhabhe kalama eyamuntu falaja, hwa huje, abhafaliji. Nkebhabhe kalama eyamuntu hufumwe, abhombaje esho humwoyo gwoti. Nkebhabhe kalama ya muntu hulongozye, nalibhobheshe huwinza. Nkebhabhe ekalama ya mntu hubhoneshe esajilo, na ebhombeshe huhuseshelelo.
he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who governs, in solicitude; he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Aganane husibhe hwilenga. Vitwaji embibhi; mnkhatilile aminza.
Let love be without falseness: hating evil, clinging to what is good,
10 Ahusu aganane hwaholo, mgananaje mwemwe hwa mwemwe. Ahusu nshinshi, enshinshi ebhehulimwe hwa hulimwe mubhene.
loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor:
11 Ahusu ubhomvi, mganjebhe bhayuzu. Ahusu ompepo, mbhanje muhusogwa. Ahusu Ogosi, hwitumaji.
in solicitude, not lazy; in spirit, fervent; serving the Lord;
12 Shanji hwidandi lyamlinalyo ahusu ensiku zyezihwenza. Mubhe nagolele ashilile amayemba genyu. Mkhalaje apuute.
in hope, rejoicing; in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, ever-willing;
13 Mubhavaje ashile amashida agalokole. Azaji idala elya bhoneshe oluganano.
in the difficulties of the saints, sharing; in hospitality, attentive.
14 Bhalabhilaji aminza woti bhabha bhayevya amwe; mubhaputilaye aminza na mgaje bhaputile alogwe.
Bless those who are persecuting you: bless, and do not curse.
15 Shanji pandwemo nabhabha shaa, lilaji pandwemo nabhabha lila.
Rejoice with those who are rejoicing. Weep with those who are weeping.
16 Mubhe nesebho zimo mwemwe hwa mwemwe mgajesebhe hwa hwilole, lakini bhetehaji abhantu abhehali eyapansi. Mubhanje nenshinshi humwanya yesebho zyenyu mbhene.
Be of the same mind toward one another: not savoring what is exalted, but consenting in humility. Do not choose to seem wise to yourself.
17 Msihusovye omuntu wowoti ibhibhi hwi bhibhi. Bhombaji aminza humaso gabhantu bhoti.
Render to no one harm for harm. Provide good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.
18 Nkashile ewezehana, nashi sashibhe shelwe hulimwi, mubhe neluseshele nabhantu bhoti.
If it is possible, in so far as you are able, be at peace with all men.
19 Bheluganano, ugajelipizye eshisasi umwene, lakini ileshi ehasila ya Ngolobhe. Huje eyandihwe, “'eshisasi sha Ngolobhe; Nene embasombe,' ayanga Ugosi.”
Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”
20 “Lakini nkashile obhibhi waho ane zala, pele. Nkashile ayomele, mwelezye. Huje nkobhombo esho, ubhahumwoholele amakala age mwoto amwanya yitwe lyakwe.”
So if an enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap burning coals upon his head.
21 Ogaje mwemwe nuubhibhi, heli oumene au bhibhi hwuminza.
Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.
