Rooma 12
1 Haddaba, walaalayaalow, waxaan idinku baryayaa Ilaah naxariistiisa inaad jidhkiinna Ilaah u siisaan sida allabari nool oo quduus ah oo Ilaah ku farxo, waana cibaadaysigiinna caqliga leh.
My fellow believers, since God has acted mercifully [toward you] in so many ways, I appeal to [all of] you that you present yourselves [SYN] [to him by making yourselves like] holy sacrifices [MET]. [Make yourselves sacrifices] that he is pleased with, sacrifices that are living/alive, [not ones that are dead/killed. Since God has done so much for you/us], this is the [only] appropriate way to serve him.
2 Ha u ekaanina dadka ifkan, laakiinse ku beddelma cusboonaanta maankiinna inaad hubsataan waxa ay tahay doonista Ilaah oo wanaagsan oo isagu ku farxo oo kaamilka ah. (aiōn g165)
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
3 Waayo, nimcadii lay siiyey ayaan ku hadlayaa, waxaan ku leeyahay, Mid kasta oo idinka mid ah, yuusan isderejayn intuu isderejayn lahaa in ka badan, laakiinse miyirqab ha ku fikiro, sida Ilaah mid kasta u siiyey qayb rumaysad ah.
Because God has kindly appointed me [to be his apostle], which I did not deserve, I say this to every one of you: Do not think about yourselves more highly than what is right for you to think! Instead, think [about yourselves] in a sensible way that [corresponds to the abilities] that God has given you [because] you trust [in Christ].
4 Waayo, sida aynu xubno badan ugu leennahay jidhkeenna, oo aan xubnaha oo dhammuna isku shuqul u ahayn,
Although a person has one body, it consists of many parts. All of the parts are needed for [the body], but they do not all function the same way.
5 sidaas oo kalaan, innagoo badan, Masiixa isku jidh ku nahay, oo midba midka kale waa xubnihiisii.
Similarly we, [although we are] many, are [united into] one group because of our relationship with Christ, and we belong to one another. [So no one should act as though he] is needed by God more [than others are!]
6 Innagoo haysanna hadiyado ku kala duwan nimcadii layna siiyey, hadday tahay wax sii sheegid, aan wax ku sii sheegno sida qaybta rumaysadkeenna.
[Instead], since each one of us can do various things that differ according to the abilities that [God has] given to us, [we should do them diligently and cheerfully]! Those whom [God has enabled] to speak messages from him [should speak] what corresponds to what they believe [God told them].
7 Ama hadday tahay adeegid, aan aad u adeegno; kii wax baraana, si fiican wax ha u baro;
[Those whom God has enabled] to serve [others] should do that. [Those whom God has enabled] to teach [his truth] should do that.
8 kii wax waaniyaana, si fiican wax ha u waaniyo; kii wax bixiyaana, deeqsinimo wax ha u bixiyo; kii wax u taliyaana, dadaal wax ha ugu taliyo; kii wax u naxariistaana, farxad wax ha ugu naxariisto.
Those [whom God has enabled to] encourage/exhort [his people] should do that. Those who share [their goods/money with others] should do it sincerely/generously. Those who lead [the congregation] should do it wholeheartedly. Those who help the needy should do it cheerfully.
9 Jacaylku ha noqdo mid aan labaweji lahayn, sharka karha, wanaagga xagsada.
Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what [God considers to be] good!
10 Kalgacayl walaalnimo isku wada jeclaada, midkiinba midka kale ha hor derejeeyo.
Love one another as members of the same family do; and, you should be (the first ones/eager) to honor each other!
11 Dadaalka ha ka caajisina, ruuxa ku kululaada, oo Rabbiga u adeega.
Do not be lazy. [Instead], be eager [to serve the Lord] God!
12 Rajada ku farxa, dhibta u dulqaata, tukashada wadiddeeda ku sii adkaysta,
Rejoice because you are confidently awaiting [what God will do for you]! When you suffer, be patient! Keep praying and never give up!
13 oo ku caawiya waxa quduusiintu u baahan yihiin, oo shisheeyaha martiggeliya.
If any of God’s people lacks anything, share with them [what you have]! Readily take care of [travelers who need a place to stay]!
14 U duceeya kuwa idin silciya, u duceeya, oo ha habaarina.
[Ask God to] be kind to those who (persecute you/cause you to suffer) [because you believe in Jesus! Ask him to] be kind to them; do not [ask him to] cause bad things to happen to them.
15 La farxa kuwa farxaya, la ooya kuwa ooyaya.
If someone is joyful, you should rejoice also! If someone is sad, you should also be sad!
16 Midba midka kale ha la fikir ahaado, ha kibrina, laakiin kuwa hoose la socda. Kuwo isla caqli badan ha noqonina.
Desire for others what you desire for yourselves (OR, Live harmoniously with each other)! Do not do things because you want to be [famous]! Instead, be content to do [tasks that others consider that only] unimportant people do (OR, [to associate with unimportant] people). Do not consider yourselves wise.
17 Ninna shar shar ha uga celinina. Ka fikira inaad samaysaan waxa wanaagsan dadka oo dhan hortiisa.
Do not do something evil to anyone [who has done] something evil to you. Act in a way that all people will recognize as good!
18 Hadday suurtowdo, intaad kartaan, nabad kula jooga dadka oo dhan.
Live peacefully with other people whenever it is possible, to the extent that you [can influence the situation].
19 Gacaliyayaalow, ha aarsanina, laakiin meel u banneeya cadhada Ilaah, waayo, waxaa qoran, Aarsasho anigaa leh; anaa u abaalmarin, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
[My fellow believers] whom I love, do not do something evil in return when people do something evil to you! Instead, allow [God] to punish them [MTY], because it is {someone has} written [in the Scriptures that] the Lord [said], “‘It is my responsibility to take revenge; I am the one who will punish [people who do something something evil to you] [DOU],’ says the Lord.”
20 Laakiin haddii cadowgaagu gaajaysan yahay, cunto sii; hadduu harraadsan yahayna, waraabi, waayo, haddaad saas samayso waxaad madaxiisa ku kor ururin doontaa duxulo dab ah.
Instead of [doing something evil to those who have done something evil to you], [do as the Scriptures teach]: “If your [(sg)] enemies are hungry, feed them! If they are thirsty, give them something to drink! By doing that, you [(sg)] will cause them to feel ashamed [and perhaps they will change their attitude toward you] [IDM].”
21 Sharku yuusan kaa adkaan, laakiinse sharka wanaag kaga adkow.
Do not let evil [things that others have done to you] overcome you [(sg) by making you do evil things to them!] [PRS] Instead, overcome the evil [things that they have done] by [doing] good [deeds to them]!
