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.
Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.
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)
Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying and perfect will of God. (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.
Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.
4 Hwa huje tine vintu vinji ashilile mbele gumo, lakini sevintu vyoti vine mbombo emo.
Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not have the same function,
5 Shesho ate, tetilibhinji tilibele gumo ashilile uKilisiti, na evikhatazizyo kila omo hwawa mwabho.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
6 Tiline kalama zyezili mjinjinyinji hwuwene yetipewilwe. Kebhabhe kalama eyamuntu okuwa, na ebhombeshe hwuwezo gwe lweteho lwakwe.
Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;
7 Kebhabhe ekalama ya muntu huduma, na abhombaje. Nkebhahe owenje ane kalama eyafundizye, hwa huje afudizyaje.
if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the teaching;
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.
if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.
9 Aganane husibhe hwilenga. Vitwaji embibhi; mnkhatilile aminza.
Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;
10 Ahusu aganane hwaholo, mgananaje mwemwe hwa mwemwe. Ahusu nshinshi, enshinshi ebhehulimwe hwa hulimwe mubhene.
showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
11 Ahusu ubhomvi, mganjebhe bhayuzu. Ahusu ompepo, mbhanje muhusogwa. Ahusu Ogosi, hwitumaji.
not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;
12 Shanji hwidandi lyamlinalyo ahusu ensiku zyezihwenza. Mubhe nagolele ashilile amayemba genyu. Mkhalaje apuute.
rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Mubhavaje ashile amashida agalokole. Azaji idala elya bhoneshe oluganano.
distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing hospitality.
14 Bhalabhilaji aminza woti bhabha bhayevya amwe; mubhaputilaye aminza na mgaje bhaputile alogwe.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Shanji pandwemo nabhabha shaa, lilaji pandwemo nabhabha lila.
Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
16 Mubhe nesebho zimo mwemwe hwa mwemwe mgajesebhe hwa hwilole, lakini bhetehaji abhantu abhehali eyapansi. Mubhanje nenshinshi humwanya yesebho zyenyu mbhene.
Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.
17 Msihusovye omuntu wowoti ibhibhi hwi bhibhi. Bhombaji aminza humaso gabhantu bhoti.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.
18 Nkashile ewezehana, nashi sashibhe shelwe hulimwi, mubhe neluseshele nabhantu bhoti.
If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Bheluganano, ugajelipizye eshisasi umwene, lakini ileshi ehasila ya Ngolobhe. Huje eyandihwe, “'eshisasi sha Ngolobhe; Nene embasombe,' ayanga Ugosi.”
Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 “Lakini nkashile obhibhi waho ane zala, pele. Nkashile ayomele, mwelezye. Huje nkobhombo esho, ubhahumwoholele amakala age mwoto amwanya yitwe lyakwe.”
Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Ogaje mwemwe nuubhibhi, heli oumene au bhibhi hwuminza.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
