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.
Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.
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)
Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying 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.
Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.
4 Nafo na niti niti di kidowo kirum, vat niti nitẹ ko kame dumun katamẹ,
Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not have the same function,
5 Nanere tidi gbardang kidowo kirume nan nya Kirsti, tidin gangang vat nin yitu arumẹ.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members of 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.
Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;
7 Andi uda diufe usu nsu nanit katawari, na asu. Andi uda diu fe udursuzu kitẹri, na a dursuzo.
if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the 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.
if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.
9 Na ussu mine wanso unrusuzu liti ba. Nari imon inanzan; minọ ilele na ichau.
Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;
10 Ubellẹ nsu linuana, chiun ussu natimine na nibinayi; nbellen ghantinu na kogha ni gwana me.
showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
11 Nbellen kayiri, iwasu ku gwala ba; nbellen nruhu, uyita mas mas; Nbellen Chikilari, su kata me.
not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;
12 Nan nya nayi akone, su liburi liboọ; nbellen nfizu nayi, nonkon nibinayi; nbellen nlira, na iwachin ba.
rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Dan timunu achara tibukatu na nan nsali kulapi, nan atimine anan sesu namara.
distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing 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 and 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.
Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.
17 Yenjen iwa tunu imon inanza nin nimon inanza. Sun imon ichine kiti nanit vat.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.
18 Andi uba sonani, son ligan likara mine mang nan nanit vat.
If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Yenjen iwa tunnu atiminemu, linuana, nan tinanayi Kutellẹ libau. Iyerte na woro ''uttunu unanighari; nba tunnu; ubellun inchikilari.''
Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; 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.''
Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Na iwasun tinanzang lii likara mine ba, lewu likara tinanzang nin gegeme.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
