Romans 12
1 Nítorí náà mo fi ìyọ́nú Ọlọ́run bẹ̀ yín ará, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó fi ara yín fún Ọlọ́run ní ẹbọ ààyè mímọ́, ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, èyí ni iṣẹ́ ìsìn yín tí ó tọ̀nà.
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 Kí ẹ má sì da ara yín pọ̀ mọ́ ayé yìí; ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ paradà láti di tuntun ní èrò inú yín, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè rí ìdí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, tí ó dára, tí ó sì ṣe ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, ti ó sì pé. (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 Ǹjẹ́ mo wí fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn tí ó wà nínú yín, nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ tí a fi fún mi, kí ó má ṣe ro ara rẹ̀ ju bí ó ti yẹ ní rírò lọ; ṣùgbọ́n kí ó le rò níwọ́ntúnwọ́nsì, bí Ọlọ́run ti fi ìwọ̀n ìgbàgbọ́ fún olúkúlùkù.
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 Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti ní ẹ̀yà púpọ̀ nínú ara kan, tí gbogbo ẹ̀yà kò sì ní iṣẹ́ kan náà,
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa, tí a jẹ́ púpọ̀, a jẹ́ ara kan nínú Kristi, àti olúkúlùkù ẹ̀yà ara ọmọnìkejì rẹ̀.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Ǹjẹ́ bí àwa sì ti ń rí ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ẹ̀bùn gbà gẹ́gẹ́ bí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ tí a fi fún wa, bí ó ṣe ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ni, kí a máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀n ìgbàgbọ́;
And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
7 tàbí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, kí a kọjú sí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ wa tàbí ẹni tí ń kọ́ni, kí ó kọjú sí kíkọ́.
if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 Tàbí ẹni tí ó ń gbani níyànjú, sí ìgbìyànjú; ẹni tí ń fi fún ni kí ó máa fi inú kan ṣe é; ẹni tí ń ṣe olórí, kí ó máa ṣe é ní ojú méjèèjì; ẹni tí ń ṣàánú, kí ó máa fi inú dídùn ṣe é.
if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Kí ìfẹ́ kí ó wà ní àìṣẹ̀tàn. Ẹ máa takété sí ohun tí í ṣe búburú; ẹ fi ara mọ́ ohun tí í ṣe rere.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Ní ti ìfẹ́ ará, ẹ máa fi ìyọ́nú fẹ́ràn ara yín; ní ti ọlá, ẹ máa fi ẹnìkejì yín ṣáájú.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
11 Ní ti iṣẹ́ ṣíṣe, ẹ má ṣe ọ̀lẹ; ẹ máa ní ìgbóná ọkàn; ẹ máa sìn Olúwa.
not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Ẹ máa yọ̀ ni ìrètí; ẹ máa mú sùúrù nínú ìpọ́njú; ẹ máa dúró gbọingbọin nínú àdúrà.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Ẹ máa pèsè fún àìní àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́; ẹ fi ara yín fún àlejò ṣíṣe.
contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Ẹ máa súre fún àwọn tí ń ṣe inúnibíni sí yín; ẹ máa súre, ẹ má sì ṣépè.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Àwọn tí ń yọ̀, ẹ máa bá wọn yọ̀, àwọn tí ń sọkún, ẹ máa bá wọn sọkún.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Ẹ máa wà ní inú kan náà sí ara yín. Ẹ má ṣe gbéraga, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má tẹ̀lé àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀. Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ní ojú ara yín.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
17 Ẹ má ṣe fi búburú san búburú fún ẹnikẹ́ni. Ẹ má pèsè ohun tí ó tọ́ níwájú gbogbo ènìyàn.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
18 Bí ó bá sé é ṣe, bí ó ti wà ní ipa tiyín, ẹ má wà ní àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
19 Olùfẹ́ mi ọ̀wọ́n, ẹ má ṣe gbẹ̀san ara yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ fi ààyè sílẹ̀ fún ìbínú Ọlọ́run; nítorí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, Olúwa wí pé, “Tèmi ni ẹ̀san, èmi ó gbẹ̀san.”
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 Ní òdìkejì ẹ̀wẹ̀, “Bí ebi bá ń pa ọ̀tá rẹ, fún un ní oúnjẹ; bí òùngbẹ bá ń gbẹ ẹ́, fún un ní omi mu. Ní ṣíṣe èyí, ìwọ ó kó ẹ̀yín iná lé e ní orí.”
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 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí búburú ṣẹ́gun rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n fi rere ṣẹ́gun búburú.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
