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.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
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)
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will 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.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.
4 Nafo na niti niti di kidowo kirum, vat niti nitẹ ko kame dumun katamẹ,
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
5 Nanere tidi gbardang kidowo kirume nan nya Kirsti, tidin gangang vat nin yitu arumẹ.
so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
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.
We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
7 Andi uda diufe usu nsu nanit katawari, na asu. Andi uda diu fe udursuzu kitẹri, na a dursuzo.
if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
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.
if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
9 Na ussu mine wanso unrusuzu liti ba. Nari imon inanzan; minọ ilele na ichau.
Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Ubellẹ nsu linuana, chiun ussu natimine na nibinayi; nbellen ghantinu na kogha ni gwana me.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
11 Nbellen kayiri, iwasu ku gwala ba; nbellen nruhu, uyita mas mas; Nbellen Chikilari, su kata me.
Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12 Nan nya nayi akone, su liburi liboọ; nbellen nfizu nayi, nonkon nibinayi; nbellen nlira, na iwachin ba.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.
13 Dan timunu achara tibukatu na nan nsali kulapi, nan atimine anan sesu namara.
Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Tan alẹ na idin nizu munu uniu nmari; tizan nmanri na ulaana.
Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
15 Sun ayi abho nin nale na idi nayi abho gilan nin nalẹ na idi kuchulu.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those 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.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.
17 Yenjen iwa tunu imon inanza nin nimon inanza. Sun imon ichine kiti nanit vat.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 Andi uba sonani, son ligan likara mine mang nan nanit vat.
If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
19 Yenjen iwa tunnu atiminemu, linuana, nan tinanayi Kutellẹ libau. Iyerte na woro ''uttunu unanighari; nba tunnu; ubellun inchikilari.''
Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 ''Asa unan salin nsufe din lanzu kukpon, naghe alii. Asa ayin kotoghe, naghe asonọ. Uwasu nani, uma pitiringhe achalang nlari litime.''
On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Na iwasun tinanzang lii likara mine ba, lewu likara tinanzang nin gegeme.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
