varumi 12

1 pe lino nikuvasuuma vanyalukolo, ku lusungu lwa Nguluve muhumiaghe amavili ghinu kuva litekelo lino nyumi, nyimike, jino jitikilue kwa Nguluve. iji je nyifunyilo jinu inyavufumbue.

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

2 kange namungafwatisiaghe isa mu iisi iji, looli musyetukisivue kwa kuvomba uvufumbue vwinu. muvombaghe ndiki mupate kukagula amaghanike gha Nguluve ghano manono, ghikumunoghela na manywilifu. (aiōn g165)

Don’t 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 ulwakuva niti, muvumosi vuno nipelilue kuuti umuunhu ghweni juno ali mulyumue naavaghile kusagha kyongo kyanya jake jujuo kuliko fino jimuvaghile kusagha, looli jimuvaghile kusagha ku vukoola ndavule uNguluve fino ampelile umuunhu ghweni ulwitiko ludebe.

For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

4 ulwakuva tuli nifighavo finga mu m'bili ghumo, nafighavo fyoni fivomba imbombo jimo.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

5 vulevule twevinga tulim'bili ghumo mwa Kilisite, ni fighavo kila jumonga kwa n'jake.

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

6 tuli nifipeelua finga kuling'ana nuvumosi vuno tepelilue. nave ikipeelua kya muunhu vwe vuvili, atengaghe kuling'ana nu lwitiko lwake.

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 nave ikipeelua kya muunhu je mbombele inofu ghwope avombaghe. nave ujunge ali ni ikipeelua kya kuvulanisia pe avulanisiaghe.

or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

8 nave ikipeelua kya muunhu lwe luhuvilo na ahuvisiaghe. nave ikipeelua kya muunhu kuhumia avombaghe ndikio kuvukoola. nave ikipeelua kya muunhu kye kulongosia livombekaghe ku volelesi uvunono. nave ikipeelua kya muunhu lwe lusungu, avombaghe ku lukelo.

or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 ulughano nalungavisaghe lwa kitule, mukalalaghe uvuhosi, mugadililaghe amagolofu.

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

10 ku lughano lwa vanyalukolo mughananaghe jumue kwa jumue isa vukoola, mukolanaghe jumue kwa jumue.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

11 kuvomba ku ngufu namungavisaghe voolo isa mumwoojo muvisaghe nuvunoghelua. isa Mutwa mum'bombelaghe.

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

12 hovokelagha mu lukangasio luno mulinalwo mufighono fino fikwisa. muvisaghe nulughulo mu mhumhuko sinu. mukalaghe mu nyifunyo.

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

13 muvombaghe palikimo mu vvufumbue vwa vitiki. londagha isila nyinga sa kuvonesia uvukoola.

contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

14 vasumilaghe ulufunyo vooni vano vikuvapumusia umue; vafunyilaghe nambe namungavaghunilaghe.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

15 hovokagha palikimo na vano vahovwike, lilagha palikimo na vano vilila.

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

16 muvisaghe nu vumosi vumo jumue kwa jumue. namungasaghaghe kwa kujighinia, neke muvakundaghe avakotofu namungavisaghe nu vukoola mu masaghe ghinu jumue.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

17 namunga muhombaghe umuunhu ghweni uvuhosi ku vuhosi. muvombaghe inono pa maaaso gha vaanhu vooni.

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

18 ndeve ndeponu, nave jilyavikilue kulyumue muve nu lutengano na vaanhu vooni.

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

19 vaghanike namungahombanaghe uvuhosi jumue kwa jumue, neke mujiseghukaghe ing'alasi ja Nguluve. ulakuva jilembilue kuuti, uluhombo lwe lwango; une nihomba, ijova uMutwa”

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

20 neke nave ghwe mulugu ghwako ali ni njala, mulisyaghe. nave umilue munywisyaghe. ulwakuva ungavombe ndikio ghukumpalulila amakala gha mwoto pa kyanya pa mutu ghwake”

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 nungakunuaghe ku uvuvivi, looli vusinde uvuvivi ku vugholofu.

Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
