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.
I beseech you, therefore, my brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by a rational service of him.
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 be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed, by the renovation of your minds: and discern ye what is the good and acceptable and perfect pleasure 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.
And, by the grace given to me, I say to you all: Do not carry thoughts, beyond what ye ought to think; but think with modesty, as God hath distributed to each one his measure of faith.
4 Hwa huje tine vintu vinji ashilile mbele gumo, lakini sevintu vyoti vine mbombo emo.
For as we severally have many members in one body, and all those members have not the same functions;
5 Shesho ate, tetilibhinji tilibele gumo ashilile uKilisiti, na evikhatazizyo kila omo hwawa mwabho.
so also we, who are collectively many persons, are one body in Messiah, and are naturally members of each other.
6 Tiline kalama zyezili mjinjinyinji hwuwene yetipewilwe. Kebhabhe kalama eyamuntu okuwa, na ebhombeshe hwuwezo gwe lweteho lwakwe.
But we have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. There is that of prophecy, according to the measure of his faith.
7 Kebhabhe ekalama ya muntu huduma, na abhombaje. Nkebhahe owenje ane kalama eyafundizye, hwa huje afudizyaje.
And there is that of ministration, possessed by one in his ministry. And there is that of a teacher, in his 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.
And there is that of a consoler, in his consoling: And that of a giver, with simplicity: And that of a presider, with dexterity: And of a sympathizer, with cheerfulness.
9 Aganane husibhe hwilenga. Vitwaji embibhi; mnkhatilile aminza.
Let not your love be guileful: but be haters of evil things, and adherers to good things.
10 Ahusu aganane hwaholo, mgananaje mwemwe hwa mwemwe. Ahusu nshinshi, enshinshi ebhehulimwe hwa hulimwe mubhene.
Be affectionate to your brethren: and love one another. Be foremost in honoring one another.
11 Ahusu ubhomvi, mganjebhe bhayuzu. Ahusu ompepo, mbhanje muhusogwa. Ahusu Ogosi, hwitumaji.
Be active; and not slothful. Be fervent in spirit. Be laborers for our Lord.
12 Shanji hwidandi lyamlinalyo ahusu ensiku zyezihwenza. Mubhe nagolele ashilile amayemba genyu. Mkhalaje apuute.
Be joyful in your hope. Be patient under your afflictions. Be persevering in prayer.
13 Mubhavaje ashile amashida agalokole. Azaji idala elya bhoneshe oluganano.
Be communicators to the wants of the saints. Be kind to strangers.
14 Bhalabhilaji aminza woti bhabha bhayevya amwe; mubhaputilaye aminza na mgaje bhaputile alogwe.
Bless your persecutors: bless, and curse not.
15 Shanji pandwemo nabhabha shaa, lilaji pandwemo nabhabha lila.
Rejoice with them who rejoice: and weep with them who weep.
16 Mubhe nesebho zimo mwemwe hwa mwemwe mgajesebhe hwa hwilole, lakini bhetehaji abhantu abhehali eyapansi. Mubhanje nenshinshi humwanya yesebho zyenyu mbhene.
What estimation ye make of yourselves, make also of your brethren. And indulge not high thoughts; but unite yourselves with the lowly minded. And be not wise in your own estimation.
17 Msihusovye omuntu wowoti ibhibhi hwi bhibhi. Bhombaji aminza humaso gabhantu bhoti.
And repay to no man evil for evil: but let it be your study to do good before all men.
18 Nkashile ewezehana, nashi sashibhe shelwe hulimwi, mubhe neluseshele nabhantu bhoti.
And if possible, so far as it dependeth on you, live in peace with every man.
19 Bheluganano, ugajelipizye eshisasi umwene, lakini ileshi ehasila ya Ngolobhe. Huje eyandihwe, “'eshisasi sha Ngolobhe; Nene embasombe,' ayanga Ugosi.”
And be ye not avengers of yourselves, my beloved: but give place to wrath. For it is written: If thou dost not execute judgment for thyself, I will execute judgment for thee, saith God.
20 “Lakini nkashile obhibhi waho ane zala, pele. Nkashile ayomele, mwelezye. Huje nkobhombo esho, ubhahumwoholele amakala age mwoto amwanya yitwe lyakwe.”
And if thy adversary be hungry, feed him: and if he be thirsty, give him drink. For if thou doest these things to him, thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Ogaje mwemwe nuubhibhi, heli oumene au bhibhi hwuminza.
Be ye not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
