Romans 12
1 So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.
Noolwekyo abooluganda mbeegayirira olw’okusaasira kwa Katonda, muwengayo emibiri gyammwe nga ssaddaaka ennamu entukuvu esanyusa Katonda, kwe kuweereza kwammwe okw’omwoyo.
2 Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
So temwefaananyirizanga ba mirembe gino, naye mukyusibwe olw’okudda obuggya mu birowoozo byammwe okukakasibwa okusiimibwa kwa Katonda, okusanyusa era okw’amazima. (aiōn g165)
3 Let me explain to all of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should think of themselves better than they ought to. You should think about yourselves realistically, according to the degree of trust God has shared with you.
Kubanga njogera olw’ekisa kye naweebwa, eri buli muntu mu mmwe, obuteerowooza okusinga ekyo ky’asaanidde okulowooza, naye okulowoozanga nga yeegendereza, nga Katonda bwe yagabira buli muntu ekigera ky’okukkiriza.
4 Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
Kubanga nga bwe tulina ebitundu ebingi mu mubiri ogumu, ebitundu ebyo byonna bikola emirimu gya njawulo.
5 so we are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one another.
Noolwekyo nga bwe tuli omubiri ogumu mu Kristo, buli muntu kitundu ku mubiri ogumu ogwo.
6 We each have different gifts that vary according to the grace given to us. So if it's speaking for God, then you should do so depending on how much you trust in God.
Tulina ebirabo, ng’ekisa kye tulina bwe kyatuweebwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo, oba bunnabbi, ng’ekigera ky’okukkiriza bwe kiri,
7 If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
oba buweereza, mu buweereza, oba omu okuyigiriza, mu kuyigiriza;
8 if encouragement then you should encourage; if giving then you should give generously; if leadership then you should lead with commitment; if being merciful then you should do so gladly.
oba omulala okugumya banne mu kubazzaamu amaanyi, oba omulala mu kugaba, oba omulala, okufuga n’obunyiikivu, n’omulala okulaga ekisa nga musanyufu.
9 Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
Mube n’okwagala okutaliimu bukuusa. Mukyawenga ekibi, munywererenga ku kirungi,
10 Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
nga mwagalana mu kwagala okw’abooluganda, nga muwaŋŋana ekitiibwa,
11 Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
mu kunyiikira so si mu kugayaala. Musanyukirenga mu mwoyo nga muweereza Mukama,
12 Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
nga musanyukira mu kusuubira, nga mugumiikiriza mu kubonaabona era nga munyiikira mu kusaba.
13 Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
Mufengayo ku byetaago by’abantu ba Katonda, era mwanirizenga abagenyi.
14 Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
Musabirenga ababayigganya; mubasabirenga so temubakolimiranga.
15 Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
Musanyukirenga wamu n’abo abasanyuka, era mukaabirenga wamu n’abo abakaaba.
16 Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
Buli muntu abeerenga mu mirembe muntu ne munne, nga temwegulumiza naye nga muba bakkakkamu. Temwekulumbazanga.
17 Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
Temusasulanga kibi olw’ekibi, naye mukolenga birungi byereere eri bonna.
18 and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
Mukolenga kyonna ekisoboka okutabagana n’abantu bonna;
19 My dear friends, don't seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment—as Scripture points out, “‘It's for me to dispense justice, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
abaagalwa, temuwalananga ggwanga, era ekiruyi mukirekere Katonda, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange, nze ndisasula,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
20 If those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they're thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.
“Noolwekyo omulabe wo bw’alumwanga enjala, muliisenga; bw’alumwanga ennyonta muwenga ekyokunywa, bw’okola bw’otyo olimukumira amanda g’omuliro ku mutwe gwe.”
21 Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
Towangulwanga kibi, naye wangulanga ekibi ng’okola obulungi.
