1Therefore 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.
1 Yaadin gaa, nya-izey, ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray Irikoy suujey sabbay se: araŋ m'araŋ gaahamey salle sargay fundikooniyaŋ, hananteyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ ga kaan Irikoy se. Woodin araŋ saajaw goy no kaŋ ga saba nda fahamay.
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service.
2Don’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.
2 Araŋ ma si araŋ boŋ sasabandi nda zamana wo _alhaalo|_, amma wa naŋ Irikoy m'araŋ bare, k'araŋ laakaley tajandi. Yaadin gaa no araŋ ga du fayanka ka Irikoy miila bay, kaŋ ga ti ihanno, da yadda hari, da timmante.
2And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
3 Zama, gomni kaŋ Irikoy n'ay no boŋ, ay goono ga ne araŋ boro fo kulu se: a ma si fongu nda nga boŋ haŋ kaŋ ga bisa mate kaŋ ga hima nd'a, amma a ma bara nda lalabu lasaabu, mate kaŋ cine Irikoy na cimbeeri neesijo zaban araŋ boro fo kulu se.
3For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.
4For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
4 Zama mate kaŋ iri gonda jare boobo gaaham folloŋ ra, jare kulu mo goyo go waani,
4For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:
5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
5 yaadin mo no iri, kaŋ ga ti iboobo, iri ciya gaaham folloŋ Almasihu ra, iri boro fo kulu mo care gaaham jareyaŋ no.
5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
6Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
6 Iri boro kulu gonda nooyaŋ waani-waani, sanda mate kaŋ cine Irikoy na gomni no iri se. To. Boro kaŋ du annabitaray m'a te da cimbeero* kaŋ cine a du.
6And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;
7or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
7 Boro kaŋ du saajaw goy ma nga boŋ no saajaw goyo se. Boro kaŋ ga dondonandi ma nga boŋ no dondonandiyaŋo se.
7or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;
8or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
8 Boro kaŋ ga yaamar ma nga boŋ no yaamaryaŋo se. Boro kaŋ ga no m'a te da bine folloŋ. Boro kaŋ gonda jineborotaray m'a te da anniya. Boro kaŋ ga suuji cabe m'a te da farhã.
8or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
9 Baakasinay ma si te da munaficitaray. Wa ilaalo fanta, wa gaabandi ihanno gaa.
9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

14 Wa albarka gaara borey kaŋ yaŋ g'araŋ gurzugandi se. Wa albarka gaara, manti laaliyaŋ.
14Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
15 Wa farhã farhantey banda, wa hẽ hẽekoy banda.
15Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
16Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

18If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.
19Don’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.” Deuteronomy 32:35
19 Ya ay baakoy, araŋ ma si bana, amma wa nangu cindi Irikoy futa se. Zama i n'a hantum ka ne: «Banayaŋ ya ay wane no. Ay no ga bana.» Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
19Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
20Therefore “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.” Proverbs 25:21-22
20 Amma day: «Da ni ibara haray, m'a no ŋwaari. D'a jaw, m'a no hari. Zama woodin teeyaŋ gaa no ni ga danj'ize gusam a boŋo boŋ.»
20But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21 Wa si yadda laala ma hin araŋ, amma wa hin laala ihanno teeyaŋ ra.
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
