Roma 12
1 Nin nani, ndi kuchukulu kitimine linana bara gbardang nkune kune Kutellẹ, nan nidowo mine ugutunu mmii, imon seru kiti Kutellẹ, bara unnere unni natimine kiti Kutellẹ, nso katamine nan nya Nfip Kutellẹ.
I beseech you, therefore, my brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by a rational service of him.
2 Yenjen iwa dofin lidu inyi ulelẹ, kpilan atimine iso apese nan nya nibinayi mine, inan yinnọ imonirika na idi ichine, inseru, nin chasarak nnufi Kutellẹ. (aiōn g165)
And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed, by the renovation of your minds: and discern ye what is the good and acceptable and perfect pleasure of God. (aiōn g165)
3 In din bellu, bara ubollu Kutellẹ. na iwani, bara umon nan nya mine wayiru litime zikiki akata ligan lọ na ina cheghe ku: Na ikpilza ukpilzu uchine, nafo na Kutellẹ na fulọ kogha ku ligan chiu kibinayi in yinnu sa uyenu me.
And, by the grace given to me, I say to you all: Do not carry thoughts, beyond what ye ought to think; but think with modesty, as God hath distributed to each one his measure of faith.
4 Nafo na niti niti di kidowo kirum, vat niti nitẹ ko kame dumun katamẹ,
For as we severally have many members in one body, and all those members have not the same functions;
5 Nanere tidi gbardang kidowo kirume nan nya Kirsti, tidin gangang vat nin yitu arumẹ.
so also we, who are collectively many persons, are one body in Messiah, and are naturally members of each other.
6 Bara na kogha dimun da diume na ubollu Kutellẹ na nighe. Andi uda diue fe ubellu nnu Kutellẹ'ri, na usu dert nin ligang nimon na ina fuloghemun nan nya inyinnu sa uyenu.
But we have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. There is that of prophecy, according to the measure of his faith.
7 Andi uda diufe usu nsu nanit katawari, na asu. Andi uda diu fe udursuzu kitẹri, na a dursuzo.
And there is that of ministration, possessed by one in his ministry. And there is that of a teacher, in his teaching.
8 Andi uda diu fe unizu nanit likara kibinayari, niza ani: Andi uda diu unizuari, nizafi tapp: Andi uda diu fe uwunun nbunari, su seng. Andi uda diu fe ulanzu nkune kuneri, su nin nayi abho.
And there is that of a consoler, in his consoling: And that of a giver, with simplicity: And that of a presider, with dexterity: And of a sympathizer, with cheerfulness.
9 Na ussu mine wanso unrusuzu liti ba. Nari imon inanzan; minọ ilele na ichau.
Let not your love be guileful: but be haters of evil things, and adherers to good things.
10 Ubellẹ nsu linuana, chiun ussu natimine na nibinayi; nbellen ghantinu na kogha ni gwana me.
Be affectionate to your brethren: and love one another. Be foremost in honoring one another.
11 Nbellen kayiri, iwasu ku gwala ba; nbellen nruhu, uyita mas mas; Nbellen Chikilari, su kata me.
Be active; and not slothful. Be fervent in spirit. Be laborers for our Lord.
12 Nan nya nayi akone, su liburi liboọ; nbellen nfizu nayi, nonkon nibinayi; nbellen nlira, na iwachin ba.
Be joyful in your hope. Be patient under your afflictions. Be persevering in prayer.
13 Dan timunu achara tibukatu na nan nsali kulapi, nan atimine anan sesu namara.
Be communicators to the wants of the saints. Be kind to strangers.
14 Tan alẹ na idin nizu munu uniu nmari; tizan nmanri na ulaana.
Bless your persecutors: bless, and curse not.
15 Sun ayi abho nin nale na idi nayi abho gilan nin nalẹ na idi kuchulu.
Rejoice with them who rejoice: and weep with them who weep.
16 Sun lisosin limang nan nanit vat. Iwaso anan kpilluzu nghantinu nati tibau mine ba, seren anan toltunu nati. Iwa yita jijin nan nya kpilluzu mine ba.
What estimation ye make of yourselves, make also of your brethren. And indulge not high thoughts; but unite yourselves with the lowly minded. And be not wise in your own estimation.
17 Yenjen iwa tunu imon inanza nin nimon inanza. Sun imon ichine kiti nanit vat.
And repay to no man evil for evil: but let it be your study to do good before all men.
18 Andi uba sonani, son ligan likara mine mang nan nanit vat.
And if possible, so far as it dependeth on you, live in peace with every man.
19 Yenjen iwa tunnu atiminemu, linuana, nan tinanayi Kutellẹ libau. Iyerte na woro ''uttunu unanighari; nba tunnu; ubellun inchikilari.''
And be ye not avengers of yourselves, my beloved: but give place to wrath. For it is written: If thou dost not execute judgment for thyself, I will execute judgment for thee, saith God.
20 ''Asa unan salin nsufe din lanzu kukpon, naghe alii. Asa ayin kotoghe, naghe asonọ. Uwasu nani, uma pitiringhe achalang nlari litime.''
And if thy adversary be hungry, feed him: and if he be thirsty, give him drink. For if thou doest these things to him, thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Na iwasun tinanzang lii likara mine ba, lewu likara tinanzang nin gegeme.
Be ye not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
