Romah 12

1 Acunakyase, ka püie aw, Pamhnama dämduhkia mpyeneinak am ning jah nghuinak ta, nami mät kung cän Pamhnama veia xüngseikia ngkengnaka mäia ng’apei lü Pamhnama khut bi ua. Acuna khut nami binak naw Pamhnam jesaki ni. Ahin cun akcanga nami pet vaia hjawkhahnak ni.

I BESEECH you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 Hin khawmdeka thuma käh ve u lü, Pamhnam naw akthaia nami mlung ning jah thunghlai se. Acun üngva Pamhnama ngjakhlü akdaw i ti ja ani cun kümkawikia jenaksak hin i tia nami ksing khai. (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)

3 Pamhnam naw amdanga a na peta a bäkhäknaka phäha nangmi üng u naw pi a vea kthaka hlüng khai käh ngai ua ti veng. Acuna kthaka ta aknema ngai u lü Pamhnam naw a ning jah peta jumnaka kba nami mät ngaiei ua.

For, I say, by the grace which is given unto me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has divided to every one the measure of faith.

4 Pumsa mat üng ngban khawhah mi taki, mi ngbane naküt a ami bilawh am täng u.

For as we have in one body many members, but the members, though many, have not the same function,

5 Acukba kunga mimi khawjah mi law sepi Khritaw üng mtisa mata mi kyaki; lüpi mimi cun mi nghngalang lüpi mat ja mat mtisa mat üng mi ngsuki.

so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one reciprocally members of each other.

6 A bäkhäknak am a jah pet mi khyaihnak phäh phäh üng khut mi bi vai u. Pamhnama ngthu pyennak vai a jah pet üng ta jumnak mi taka kba mi pyen vai u.

Having then different gifts according to the grace which is given unto us, if it be prophecy, speak according to the analogy of faith;

7 Khüibi bi khaia akya üng khüibi mi bi vai u; mtheiki naw pi mtheinak mi bi vai u;

or if the deacon’s office, be active in the service; or he that teacheth, in teaching;

8 khyang ngjuktha peki naw pi ngjuktha petnak bi se; petmsawtki naw pi käh pam lü pe se; ana mah naw pi ktha na lü bilo se; khyang mpyeneiki naw pi jekyainak am mpyenei se.

or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that distributes, let him do it with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that is employed in acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Mhläkphyanak cun mhläkphyanak kcanga kyase. Mkhyekatnak hneng u lü dawnak kpang ua.

Let love be undissembled. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Khritjanea nami kya kba mat ja mat hnün ata kba mhläkphya na u lü ngkhawtei ua.

In brotherly affection be tenderly attached to each other; in honour preferring one another:

11 Khüinak lam üng käh dam u lü; mlungkyawng ap lü Bawipa khut bi ua,

not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord:

12 äpeinak üng jekyai u lü; khuikha khameinak cun cunei u lü, angläta ktaiyü ua.

rejoicing in hope; patient in affliction; persevering in prayer:

13 A hlükaw veki khritjane üng jah petmsawt u lü; khine pi nami jah khinnak vai.

communicating to the wants of the saints; prompt to hospitality.

14 Ning jah mkhuimkhakie, dawkyanak am jah kbe u; käh jah yünce u lü dawkyanak nami ja kbe vai.

Bless them who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

15 Jekie jah jepüi u lü; kyapkie jah kyahpüi u.

Rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep.

16 Ngaihnak thei avana khana atäng ta ua. Käh awhcah u. Mlung nemnak üng dokham ua. Themkia namimät käh ngai ua.

Be of the same mind among each other. Affect not high things, but be condescending to the lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Khyang naw a ning hmakatsak üngpi käh thungei be u. Khyang avan naw daw khaia ngaih cän pawh a.

Render to no man evil for evil. Be provident of things laudable in the sight of all men.

18 Khyang naküt am nami ngkhawt vaia anaküt cän bi a.

If possible, as far as you can, be at peace with all men.

19 Ka püie aw, u pi käh thungei be u, Pamhnama naw thung be se, “Phu naküt cun keia thung vaia kyaki, kei naw thung be lü kei naw ka pe bekhai ti lü Bawipa naw” Cangcim üng a ti.

Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, “Vengeance belongeth to me; I will recompence, saith the Lord.”

20 Acunakyase, na ye a ei a cawi üng, a ei vai pea, tui a xai üng a awk vai pea; acukba na bi üngva ngkekhyakei khaie ni.

If therefore thine enemy hunger, give him food; if he thirst, give him drink: for so doing, thou shalt heap up coals of fire on his head.

21 Akse naw käh ning jah näng lü akdaw am akse cän näng ua.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
