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.
Koia ahau ka inoi nei ki a koutou, e oku teina, kia whakaaroa nga mahi a te Atua, kia tapaea atu o koutou tinana hei whakahere ora, tapu, e manakohia ana e te Atua, he mahi na to koutou hinengaro.
2 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)
Kaua hoki to koutou ahua e rite ki to tenei ao: engari kia puta ke, ara kia whakahoutia o koutou hinengaro, kia whakamatautauria ai e koutou ta te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manakohia ana, e tino rite ana. (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.
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki nga tangata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa i homai nei ki ahau, Kaua e hira ake te whakaaro o tetahi ki a ia ano i te mea i tika kia whakaaroa e ia; engari kia ata whakaaro, kia rite ki te wahi o te wha kapono i tuwhaina e te Atua ki tena, ki tena.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.
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;
Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono;
7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;
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.
Ko te kaiwhakahauhau, kia u ki tana whakahauhau; ko te kaihoatu, kia mahorahora te ngakau; ko te kaiwhakahaere kia uaua ki tana mahi, a ko te kaiatawhai kia ngahau te ahua.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;
12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.
16 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.
Kia kotahi te whakaaro o koutou tetahi ki tetahi. Kaua e whakakake te whakaaro, engari me whakaiti ki nga mea papaku. Kei mea ake koutou he mohio koutou.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.
19 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.”
Aua e rapu utu mo koutou, e oku hoa aroha, engari whakaatea atu i te riri: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki.
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.”
Na, ki te matekai tou hoariri, whangainga; ki te matewai, whakainumia: ki te penei hoki tau mahi, ka purangatia e koe he waro kapura ki tona matenga.
21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
