Romafo 12

1 Ɛno nti, anuanom, esiane Onyankopɔn ahummɔbɔ nti, mehyɛ mo sɛ momfa mo ho mmɔ afɔre a ɛyɛ kronkron na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Eyi ne nokwasɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ muso mu.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 Monnyɛ mo ho sɛ wiasefo wɔ mo abrabɔ mu, na mmom momma Onyankopɔn nsakra mo adwene wɔ mo mu, na moanya adwene foforo, na ɛnam so ama moahu Onyankopɔn apɛde, nea eye, nea ɛsɔ nʼani ne nea ewie pɛyɛ. (aiōn g165)

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

3 Na esiane Onyankopɔn adom a ɔde ama me no nti, meka kyerɛ mo nyinaa se, monnnwene mo ho mma ɛmmoro sɛnea ɛsɛ sɛ modwene, na mmom monnwene mo ho ahobrɛase mu, na mo mu biara nnyina gyidi a Onyankopɔn de ama mo no so.

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

4 Sɛnea yɛn mu biara wɔ nipadua a ho akwaa yɛ bebree, na saa akwaa yi mu biara wɔ dwuma a edi no,

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,

5 saa ara na Kristo mu no yɛn a yɛyɛ bebree no yɛ nipadua baako, na akwaa biara yɛ akwaa no nyinaa dea.

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

6 Yɛwɔ akyɛde ahorow sɛnea wɔde adom yɛn no. Sɛ obi akyɛde yɛ nkɔmhyɛ a, ma onnyina ne gyidi so mfa nyɛ adwuma.

And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;

7 Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔsom a, ma ɔnsom. Sɛ ɛyɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ a, ma ɔnkyerɛkyerɛ.

if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;

8 Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ afoforo nkuran a, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ saa; sɛ ɛyɛ mmoa a ɔde boa afoforo a, ma omfi koma pa mu nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ akwankyerɛ a, ma no mfa nsi nyɛ; sɛ ɛyɛ ayamye a, ma ɔmfa anigye nyɛ.

if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.

9 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdɔ yɛ nokware turodoo. Munkyi amumɔyɛ. Mommata nea eye ho.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

10 Momfa onuadɔ nnodɔ mo ho mo ho. Munni afoforo ni nsen mo ho.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;

11 Monkɔ so nyɛ nsi, monyɛ hyew wɔ honhom mu, na momfa ahosɛpɛw nsom Awurade.

not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Munnya anidaso mu anigye, amanehunu mu boasetɔ, na momfa gyidi mmɔ mpae.

rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 Mone Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo a ahia wɔn no nkyɛ nea mowɔ. Mommɔ ahɔhoyɛ ho mmɔden.

contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

14 Munhyira wɔn a wɔtaa mo no. Munhyira wɔn, na monnnome wɔn.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.

15 Mo ne anigyefo ani nnye, na mo ne asufo nsu.

Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

16 Mo ne afoforo ntena asomdwoe mu. Monnyɛ ahantan, na mmom momfa mo ho mmɔ mmɔborɔfo. Mummmu mo ho anyansafo.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.

17 Mommfa bɔne ntua bɔne biara so ka. Monyɛ nea ɛbɛma nnipa de nidi ama mo.

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.

18 Sɛ ebetumi a, mo fam de, mo ne obiara ntena asomdwoe mu.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.

19 Monntɔ were me nnamfonom, na mmom momma Onyankopɔn abufuw ho kwan efisɛ wɔakyerɛw se, “Me na aweretɔ wɔ me, metua ka,” Awurade na ose.

Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

20 Nanso, “Sɛ ɔkɔm de wo tamfo a, ma no aduan nni; sɛ osukɔm de no a, ma no nsu nnom. Na sɛ woyɛ saa a, woboaboa nnyansramma ano gu nʼatifi.”

Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head."

21 Mommma bɔne nni mo so. Mmom, momfa papa nni bɔne so.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
