Warumi 12
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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.
1I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service.
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.
2And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the 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 I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.
4Mwili una viungo vingi, kila kimoja na kazi yake.
4For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office:
5Hali kadhalika ingawa sisi ni wengi, tu mwili mmoja kwa kuungana na Kristo, na kila mmoja ni kiungo cha mwenzake.
5So we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6Basi, tunavyo vipaji mbalimbali kufuatana na neema tuliyopewa. Mwenye kipaji cha unabii na akitumie kadiri ya imani yake.
6And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith;
7Mwenye kipaji cha utumishi na atumikie. mwenye kipaji cha kufundisha na afundishe.
7Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine;
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.
8He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Mapendo yenu na yawe bila unafiki wowote. Chukieni jambo lolote ovu, zingatieni jema.
9Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.
10Pendaneni kidugu; kila mmoja amfikirie mwenzake kwanza kwa heshima.
10Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honour preventing one another.
11Msilegee katika bidii, muwe wachangamfu rohoni katika kumtumikia Bwana.
11In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord.
12Tumaini lenu liwaweke daima wenye furaha; muwe na saburi katika shida na kusali daima.
12Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer.
13Wasaidieni watu wa Mungu katika mahitaji yao; wapokeeni wageni kwa ukarimu.
13Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.
14Watakieni baraka wote wanaowadhulumu ninyi; naam, watakieni baraka na wala msiwalaani.
14Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15Furahini pamoja na wanaofurahi, lieni pamoja na wanaolia.
15Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
16Muwe na wema uleule kwa kila mtu. Msijitakie makuu, bali jishugulisheni na watu wadogo. Msijione kuwa wenye hekima sana.
16Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17Msilipe ovu kwa ovu. Zingatieni mambo mema mbele ya wote.
17To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.
18Kadiri inavyowezekana kwa upande wenu, muwe na amani na watu wote.
18If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men.
19Wapenzi wangu, msilipize kisasi, bali mwachieni Mungu jambo hilo; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Kulipiza kisasi ni shauri langu; mimi nitalipiza asema Bwana.”
19Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith 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.”
20But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
21Usikubali kushindwa na ubaya, bali ushinde ubaya kwa wema.
21Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.
