< VaRoma 12 >
1 Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai, hama, netsitsi dzaMwari, mupire miviri yenyu, chive chibairo chipenyu, chitsvene, chinogamuchirika kuna Mwari, ndiko kunamata kwenyu kunonzwisisika.
Nʼchifukwa chake ine ndikukupemphani abale, mwa chifundo cha Mulungu, kuti mupereke matupi anu monga nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika ndi yokondweretsa Mulungu. Nsembeyi ndiye kupembedza kwanu kwa uzimu.
2 Uye musazvifananidza nenyika ino, asi mushandurwe nekuvandudzwa kwefungwa yenyu, kuti muidze chiri chido chaMwari chakanaka uye chinogamuchirika uye chakazara. (aiōn )
Musafanizidwenso ndi makhalidwe a dziko lino koma musandulike pokonzanso maganizo anu. Ndipo mudzadziwa ndi kuzindikira chifuniro chabwino cha Mulungu chomwe ndi chokondweretsa ndi changwiro. (aiōn )
3 Nokuti ndinoti, nenyasha dzakapiwa kwandiri, kune umwe neumwe ari pakati penyu, arege kuzvifunga kuti mukuru kupfuura paanofanira kufunga napo; asi afunge neuchenjeri, Mwari sezvaakagovera umwe neumwe chiyero cherutendo.
Chifukwa cha chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ine, ndinena kwa aliyense wa inu kuti musadziyenereze nokha kuposa mmene mulili. Koma mudziganizire nokha modzichepetsa, molingana ndi muyeso wa chikhulupiriro chimene Mulungu wakupatsani.
4 Nokuti sezvatine mitezo mizhinji pamuviri umwe, asi mitezo yese haina basa rakafanana;
Pakuti monga aliyense wa ife ali ndi thupi limodzi koma ziwalo zambiri, ziwalozi sizili ndi ntchito yofanana.
5 saizvozvo tiri vazhinji, tiri muviri umwe muna Kristu, uye umwe neumwe tiri mitezo weumwe kune umwe.
Momwemonso mwa Khristu ife amene tili ambiri tipanga thupi limodzi ndipo chiwalo chilichonse ndi cholumikizika ku chinzake.
6 Uye tine zvipo zvakasiyana maererano nenyasha dzinopiwa kwatiri; kungava kuporofita, ngatiporofite nechiyero cherutendo;
Ife tili ndi mphatso zosiyana, molingana ndi chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ife. Ngati mphatso ya munthu ndi kunenera, musiyeni ayigwiritse ntchito molingana ndi chikhulupiriro chake.
7 kana ushumiri, ngatishande paushumiri; kana anodzidzisa, pakudzidzisa;
Ngati ndi kutumikira, musiyeni atumikire. Ngati ndi kuphunzitsa, musiyeni aphunzitse.
8 kana anoraira, pakuraira; anopa, ngaape nemoyo wese; anotonga, ngaatonge nekushingaira; anoitira tsitsi, nemufaro.
Ngati ndi kulimbikitsa, musiyeni alimbikitse. Ngati ndi kupereka kuthandiza osowa, musiyeni apereke mowolowamanja. Ngati ndi utsogoleri, musiyeni alamulire mosamala. Ngati ndi kuonetsa chifundo, musiyeni achite mosangalala.
9 Rudo ngaruve rwechokwadi. Semai zvakaipa, makanamatira zvakanaka.
Chikondi chikhale chopanda chinyengo. Dana nacho choyipa; gwiritsitsa chabwino.
10 Dananai zvikuru nerudo rwehama; pakukudza muchitangirana.
Mukondane kwathunthu monga abale. Lemekezanani wina ndi mnzake kuposa inu eni.
11 Musava neusimbe pakushingaira; mupise pamweya; muchishumira Ishe;
Musakhale aulesi mʼmachitidwe anu. Khalani achangu mu mzimu ndipo tumikirani Ambuye.
12 muchifara mutariro; muchitsungirira padambudziko; muchirambira mumunyengetero;
Kondwerani mʼchiyembekezo, pirirani mʼmasautso ndiponso khulupirikani mʼpemphero.
13 muchigovera pakushaiwa kwevatsvene; muchishingirira kugamuchira vaeni.
Gawanani ndi anthu a Mulungu amene ali ndi chosowa. Cherezani alendo.
14 Ropafadzai vanokushushai; ropafadzai, musatuka.
Adalitseni amene akuzunzani. Adalitseni ndipo musawatemberere.
15 Farai nevanofara, uye chemai nevanochema.
Kondwani pamodzi ndi amene akukondwa ndipo lirani ndi amene akulira.
16 Ivai vemoyo umwe, umwe kune umwe. Musafunganya zvinhu zvakakwirira, asi mufambidzane navanozvininipisa. Musazviidza vakachenjera.
Muyanjane wina ndi mnzake. Musakhale onyada, koma lolani kuyanjana ndi anthu wamba. Musaganize kuti mumadziwa zonse.
17 Musatsiva ani zvake chakaipa nechakaipa. Muchirangarirai zvakarurama pamberi pevanhu vese.
Musabwezere choyipa ndi choyipa kwa aliyense. Samalitsani kuchita chabwino pamaso pa aliyense.
18 Kana zvichigona, sezvinobva kwamuri, garai nerugare nevanhu vese.
Ngati nʼkotheka, khalani mwamtendere ndi aliyense monga momwe mungathere.
19 Vadikanwi, musazvitsivira, asi ipai hasha nzvimbo; nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Kutsiva ndekwangu, ini ndicharipira, anodaro Ishe.
Okondedwa anga, musabwezere choyipa, koma lekerani Mulungu. Pakuti kwalembedwa, “Kubwezera chilango nʼkwanga. Ndidzawalanga ndine,” akutero Ambuye.
20 Naizvozvo kana muvengi wako ane nzara, mupe kudya; kana ane nyota, munwise; nokuti mukuita izvozvo, uchadurikidza mazimbe emoto pamusoro wake.
Koma, “Ngati mdani wako ali ndi njala, mupatse chakudya. Ngati ali ndi ludzu, mupatse kanthu kakumwa. Pochita ichi, udzamuwunjikira makala amoto pamutu pake.”
21 Usakundwa nechakaipa, asi kunda chakaipa nechakanaka.
Musagonjetsedwe ndi choyipa, koma gonjetsani choyipa pochita chabwino.
