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, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
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)
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)
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 I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is amongst 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.
4 Nafo na niti niti di kidowo kirum, vat niti nitẹ ko kame dumun katamẹ,
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t 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 Messiah, 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.
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7 Andi uda diufe usu nsu nanit katawari, na asu. Andi uda diu fe udursuzu kitẹri, na a dursuzo.
or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to 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.
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.
9 Na ussu mine wanso unrusuzu liti ba. Nari imon inanzan; minọ ilele na ichau.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Ubellẹ nsu linuana, chiun ussu natimine na nibinayi; nbellen ghantinu na kogha ni gwana me.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honour prefer one another,
11 Nbellen kayiri, iwasu ku gwala ba; nbellen nruhu, uyita mas mas; Nbellen Chikilari, su kata me.
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12 Nan nya nayi akone, su liburi liboọ; nbellen nfizu nayi, nonkon nibinayi; nbellen nlira, na iwachin ba.
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13 Dan timunu achara tibukatu na nan nsali kulapi, nan atimine anan sesu namara.
contributing to the needs of the holy ones, and given to hospitality.
14 Tan alẹ na idin nizu munu uniu nmari; tizan nmanri na ulaana.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t 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.
Be of the same mind one towards another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
17 Yenjen iwa tunu imon inanza nin nimon inanza. Sun imon ichine kiti nanit vat.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honourable in the sight of all men.
18 Andi uba sonani, son ligan likara mine mang nan nanit vat.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19 Yenjen iwa tunnu atiminemu, linuana, nan tinanayi Kutellẹ libau. Iyerte na woro ''uttunu unanighari; nba tunnu; ubellun inchikilari.''
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.”
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 so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Na iwasun tinanzang lii likara mine ba, lewu likara tinanzang nin gegeme.
Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
