ROMA 12

Ma’rupa-rupa pa’pakilala. Kamenomban siolanan kakinaan

12:1-2

1 Iamoto, e kamu siulu’ku, kupakilalakomi tete dio kamamaseanNa Puang Matua, pennoloanni tu kalemi butung pemala’ tuo sia masero sia Naporai Puang Matua, iamoto tu kamenomban tu siolanan kakinaan.

2 Sia da mipeolai tu a’ganna te lino, sangadinna la membalikomi diona kadiba’ruanna penaammi, ammi issanni untandai pa’poraianNa Puang Matua, iamo melona sia Naporainna sia sundunna.

Diona unnangga’ pa’kamase silaen-laenan

12:3-8

3 Belanna dio tu pa’kamasean dipa’kamasean lako kaleku, angku kuan simisa’komi kumua: da anna sanga kalena losong na iatu sipatunna, sangadinna la napasitinayai tu nasanganna anna kinaa sitondon kapatonganan tu Napapatuanni Puang Matua.

4 Belanna susi dio kaleta sangbatang nabuda lesoan kale, apa mintu’na tu lesoan kale tae’ nasidulu pentoeanna,

5 susi dukamoto tu kita budaki’ anta sangkale lan Kristus, apa pada-padaki’ sipolesoan kale sola nasang.

6 Tu belanna pantan serongki’ situru’ tu pa’kamasean dipa’kamasean lako kaleta: iake pa’nubua’, pasitinayai kapatonganan;

7 iake pa’parakan, angkaranni tu situru’na kapa’parakan; iake ma’pangada’, angkaranni tu situru’na lalan pangadaran;

8 iake ma’pakilala, angkaranni tu situru’na kapa’pakilalan; sia iatu mamenganna pasiolananni kamasokanan; sia iatu manglopianna pasiolananni kabirisanan; sia iatu unnangkaranna kamamasean pasiolananni kasendean.

Pa’pakilala diona kasialamasean lan katuoan ba’ru

12:9-21

9 Iatu kasialamasean pasiolananni kamalamburan. Kagi’gi’i tu kadakena la’ka’ lakokomi melona.

10 Lan kasialamaseammi sangsiulurammi, pantan la sipakaboro’komi sia da mididoloi sipekataberan.

11 Da milangga’ lan sara’mi; paparrukki tu penaammi, mengkaolakomi lako Puang.

12 Sendekomi diona rannummi, ma’tan penaakomi lan kamaparrisan, sia batta’ lan kapassambayangan.

13 Rokkoi tu kakuranganna to masallo’ sia matinuru’komi untoratu tau.

14 Palakuanni kamauparan tu to umpakario-riokomi; palakuanni kamauparan sia da mitampakki ropu tau.

15 Pada parannukomi to parannu; sia pada tumangi’komi to tumangi’.

16 Sisanginaakomi solami. Da ammi kabarii apa madaoan, sangadinna sikadamakkomi to bitti’. Da misanga kalemi manarang.

17 Da mipasipakkan kakadakean lako misa’ duka tau. Karitutui tu kameloan dio tingayona tau.

18 Iake ma’dinni padami pabelammi la sikadamakkomi tau.

19 E pa’kaboro’ku, da anna kamu kalena ma’pasibalaran, sangadinna pakampai kasengkeanNa Puang Matua, belanna den disura’ kumua: Aku umpoissanni tu pepakkan; Akumote tu la umpapakkanni, kadanNa Puang.

20 Sangadinna, iake tangdia’i tu to ungkabiri’ko, benni kande; iake ma’rangi, pairu’i. Belanna, iake mupogau’i susito, butung to ruaya mutopporanni dao ulunna.
21 Da anna taloiko kakadakean, sangadinna taloi tu kakadakean diona kameloan.

ROMANS 12

Christ Brings New Life

1 Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God.

2 Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him.
3 I realize God has treated me with undeserved grace, and so I tell each of you not to think you are better than you really are. Use good sense and measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you. 4 t A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use.

5 That's how it is with us. There are many of us, but we each are part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another.
6  t God has also given each of us different gifts to use. If we can prophesy, we should do it according to the amount of faith we have. 7 If we can serve others, we should serve. If we can teach, we should teach.

8 If we can encourage others, we should encourage them. If we can give, we should be generous. If we are leaders, we should do our best. If we are good to others, we should do it cheerfully.

Rules for Christian Living

13 Take care of God's needy people and welcome strangers into your home.
14  t Ask God to bless everyone who mistreats you. Ask him to bless them and not to curse them. 15 t When others are happy, be happy with them, and when they are sad, be sad. 16 t Be friendly with everyone. Don't be proud and feel that you know more than others. Make friends with ordinary people.t 17 Don't mistreat someone who has mistreated you. But try to earn the respect of others,

18 and do your best to live at peace with everyone.

19  t Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge. In the Scriptures the Lord says,
“I am the one to take revenge
and pay them back.”

20  t The Scriptures also say,
“If your enemies are hungry,
give them something to eat.
And if they are thirsty,
give them something
to drink.
This will be the same
as piling burning coals
on their heads.”
21 Don't let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good.
