Warumi 12
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kwa hiyo, ndugu zangu, maadam Mungu ni mwenye huruma nyingi, nawasihi kwa moyo wote: jitoleeni nafsi zenu kwa Mungu kama tambiko iliyo hai, takatifu na yenye kupendeza. Hii ndiyo njia yenu halisi ya kumwabudu.
1Therefore 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.
2Msiige mitindo ya ulimwengu huu, bali Mungu afanye mabadiliko ndani yenu kwa kuzigeuza fikira zenu. Hapo ndipo mtakapoweza kuyajua mapenzi ya Mungu, kutambua jambo lililo jema, linalompendeza na kamilifu.
2Do 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.
3Kutokana na neema aliyonijalia Mungu, nawaambieni ninyi nyote: msijione kuwa ni kitu zaidi kuliko mnavyopaswa kuwa. Fikira zenu na ziwe na kiasi kufuatana na kipimo cha imani Mungu aliyomgawia kila mmoja.
3For 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.
4Mwili una viungo vingi, kila kimoja na kazi yake.
4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
5Hali kadhalika ingawa sisi ni wengi, tu mwili mmoja kwa kuungana na Kristo, na kila mmoja ni kiungo cha mwenzake.
5so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
6Basi, tunavyo vipaji mbalimbali kufuatana na neema tuliyopewa. Mwenye kipaji cha unabii na akitumie kadiri ya imani yake.
6We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
7Mwenye kipaji cha utumishi na atumikie. mwenye kipaji cha kufundisha na afundishe.
7if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
8Mwenye kipaji cha kuwafariji wengine na afanye hivyo. Mwenye kumgawia mwenzake alicho nacho na afanye hivyo kwa ukarimu. Msimamizi na asimamie kwa bidii; naye mwenye kutenda jambo la huruma na afanye hivyo kwa furaha.
8if 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.
9Mapendo yenu na yawe bila unafiki wowote. Chukieni jambo lolote ovu, zingatieni jema.
9Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
10Pendaneni kidugu; kila mmoja amfikirie mwenzake kwanza kwa heshima.
10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
11Msilegee katika bidii, muwe wachangamfu rohoni katika kumtumikia Bwana.
11Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12Tumaini lenu liwaweke daima wenye furaha; muwe na saburi katika shida na kusali daima.
12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.
13Wasaidieni watu wa Mungu katika mahitaji yao; wapokeeni wageni kwa ukarimu.
13Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Watakieni baraka wote wanaowadhulumu ninyi; naam, watakieni baraka na wala msiwalaani.
14Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
15Furahini pamoja na wanaofurahi, lieni pamoja na wanaolia.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
16Muwe na wema uleule kwa kila mtu. Msijitakie makuu, bali jishugulisheni na watu wadogo. Msijione kuwa wenye hekima sana.
16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.
17Msilipe ovu kwa ovu. Zingatieni mambo mema mbele ya wote.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18Kadiri inavyowezekana kwa upande wenu, muwe na amani na watu wote.
18If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
19Wapenzi wangu, msilipize kisasi, bali mwachieni Mungu jambo hilo; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Kulipiza kisasi ni shauri langu; mimi nitalipiza asema Bwana.”
19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20Tena, Maandiko yasema: “Adui yako akiwa na njaa, mpe chakula; akiwa na kiu, mpe kinywaji. Maana kwa kufanya hivyo utamfanya apate aibu kali kama makaa ya moto juu ya kichwa chake.”
20On 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.”
21Usikubali kushindwa na ubaya, bali ushinde ubaya kwa wema.
21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
