Romans 12

1 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.

Ni misusuweza cwale, bakwetu, ke chishemo cha Ireeza, kuti mulete mibili yenu ubu chitabelo chi hala, chi jolola, chi tambulwa kwa Ireeza. Uwu njo mutendo wenu usakahala.

2 Do not be conformed to this age (aiōn g165), 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.

Kanji muyendeleli ne inu inkanda, kono mube ba chinchitwe chobuhya bwa mano enu. Mutende ichi kuti mwi zibe zilotu, zitambuleha, ni kusaka kushiyeme kwe Ireeza. (aiōn g165)

3 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.

Kakuti ni wamba, chebaka lye chishemo icho chiba kuhewa kwangu, kuti yense wina mukati kenu kanji bazezi kuti ba bobutokwa ahulu kuhita mubaswanela kuhupulela. Kusibulyo, baswanela kuhupula che nzila yo butali, ubu sina Ireeza habahi kuzumwi ni zumwi itikanyo ye tumelo.

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

Sina hatwina zilama zingi mu mubili wonke, kono kahena kuti zilama zonse zina musebezi uswana.

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

Mwi nzila iswana, inswe tubangi tumubili umwina mwa Kresite, mi tuchilama chimwina kuzumwi ni zumwi.

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

Twina impo zi chinchana cho kuya ke chishemo chi tu bahewa. Haiba impo yo zumwi yo butanikizi, kutendahale bulyo kuya nche ntikanyezo ye ntumelo yakwe.

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

Haiba impo yonzumwi ku sebeza, mumu siye a sebeze. Haiba zumwi wina impo yo kuluta, mumusiye a lute.

8 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.

Haiba zumwi impo yakwe kususuweza, mumusiye a susuweze. Haiba zumwi impo yakwe kuha, mumusiye atende bulyo chekulo yonke. Haiba zumwi impo yakwe ku yendisa, musiye ayendise che ntokomelo. Haiba zumwi impo yakwe kutondeza chishemo, musiye achite cho kusanga.

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

Musiye ilato libe nikusena kuliha. Mukane cheli chibi; mukwatilile icho chilotu.

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

Kuamana nilato lya bamwetu, mube nilato ku zumwi ni zumwi. Kuamana ni kute, mukute zumwi ku zumwi.

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

Kuamana ni ntundamo hande, kanji muhakanyehi. Kuamana ni luhuho, mu nyolelwe. Kuamana ni Simwe, mumu tendele.

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

Musange mwi nsepo imwina nayo kuamana ni zisikezite. Mulisante muma sikuluko enu. Muzwile habusu ku lapela.

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

Muliyabile mu zisakahala kuba zumine. Musake inzila zingi zo kutondeza ikamuhelo.

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

Mufuyaule abo bami nyandisa; mufuyaule mi kanji mukuti.

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

Musange nabo basangite; mulile nabo balila.

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

Mube bo muhupulo uswana ku zumwi ni zumwi. Kanji muhupuli mwi nzila zo kulikumusa, kono mutambule bantu basali wanini. Kanji mutalifi mumi hupulo yenu mubene.

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

Kanji mubozekezi zumwi bubi cho bubi. Mutende bulotu habusu bwabantu bonse.

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

Haiba kuoleka, sina ha kulitingite henu, muhale mwi nkozo ni bantu bonse.

19 Do not 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.”

Kanji muli lwisi mubene, basakwa, kono muhe inzila kubu kali bwa Ireeza. Sina hakuñoletwe, “Kubozekeza nji kwangu; kani lihise; kuwamba Simwine.”

20 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.”

“Kono haiba chila chenu chifwile inzala, mu mulisike. Haiba ufwile inyota, mumuhe cho kunwa. haiba ni mutenda inchi, kamu kunganye makala o mulilo hamuntwi wakwe.”

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

Kanji mukomiwa ku bubi, kono mukome bubi cho bulotu.
