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 entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.

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 renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (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, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.

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

For even as we have many members in one body, and not all members have 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, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.

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.

But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.

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

If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.

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.

Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.

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

Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.

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

As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.

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

In your diligence be free from sloth. Be glowing in spirit. Slave for the master.

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

Rejoice in hope; be patient under affliction; continue stedfast in prayer.

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

Be liberal to needy saints. Practise hospitality.

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

Bless your persecutors, bless, and curse not.

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

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

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

Have full sympathy with one another. Set not your minds on high affairs, but associate with lowly folk. Do not be 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.

Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.

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

If it be possible, so far as it lies with you, 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.

Never revenge yourself, beloved, but leave the field clear for God’s wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says 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.

On the contrary, therefore, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will be heaping burning coals on his head.

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

Do not be overcome by evil, but be overcoming evil with good.
