Rom 12

1 To pongah nawkamyanawk, Sithaw palungnathaih rang hoiah, ciimcai moe, Sithaw mah tapom ih hmuen ah kaom, na takpum to kahing hmuen tathlanghaih ah nang paek o hanah, kang pacae o.

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

2 Nangcae loe hae long kami ah angcoeng o hmah: poek angthahaih hoiah amkhrai oh, to tiah ni kahoih hmuen, koeh koi kaom, kakoep Sithaw koehhaih to na panoek o thai tih. (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is―the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect. (aiōn g165)

3 Nangcae salakah kaom mi kawbaktih mah doeh, angmah hoi angmah to poek han koi hmuen pong kamthlai ah poek han om ai, toe Sithaw mah kami maeto boih hanah kating tawk ah paek ih tanghaih baktih toengah ni nangmah hoi nangmah to poek han oh, tiah kai khaeah paek ih tahmenhaih rang hoiah nangcae boih khaeah lok kang thuih o.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

4 Takpum maeto pongah tanghang oh mangh, tanghangnawk loe maeto hoi maeto toksakhaih anghmong boih ai:

For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office,

5 to tiah aicae loe, a pop o parai, toe Kri ah loe takpum maeto ni, aicae loe maeto hoi maeto kangpeh tanghang ah ni a oh o.

so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

6 Aicae khae paek ih tahmenhaih baktih toengah paek ih kalah kalah tangqum to a tawnh o, lok taphonghaih a tawnh o nahaeloe, tanghaih a tawn o ih baktih toengah lok to taphong o si.

Since, then, we have gifts which differ according to the grace that is given to us, whether we have the gift of prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 To tih ai boeh loe toksakhaih maw a tawnh o nahaeloe, tok to sah o si, patuk kami mah loe, patukhaih tok to sah nasoe;

or, if we have a ministry, let us be active in our ministry; if any one teaches, let him attend to his teaching;

8 kami thapaekhaih tawn kami loe, thapaekhaih tok to sah nasoe: paekthaihaih tawn kami loe, paek koehhaih palung hoiah paek nasoe, uk thaihaih tawn kami loe, palung angpaekhaih hoiah uk nasoe; kami nuiah palungnathaih tawn kami loe, poeknawmhaih hoiah palung nasoe.

or, if any exhorts, let him attend to exhortation; if any one gives, let him do it with sincerity; he that rules, with diligence: he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Amlunghaih ah angsakhaih om hmah nasoe. Kahoih ai hmuen to panuet oh loe, kahoih hmuen to kacakah patawn oh.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good;

10 Maeto hoi maeto nawkamya amlunghaih hoiah amlung oh; maeto hoi maeto khingyahaih ang paek oh.

in love to the brotherhood, be kindly affectionate one to another; in showing honor, be examples one to another;

11 Toksak paqak o hmah; tha pathok oh loe, Angraeng tok to sah oh;

in what requires diligence, be not slothful; in spirit, be fervent; in service, be devoted to the Lord;

12 oephaih tawn oh loe anghoe oh; raihaih tongh naah pauephaih palung to tawn oh loe, boeng ai ah lawkthui oh;

in hope, be joyful; in affliction, be patient; in prayer, be persevering;

13 kavawt kaciim kaminawk hanah hmuen to paek oh, angvinnawk to kahoihah khenzawn oh.

administer to the necessities of the saints; be careful to entertain strangers;

14 Nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk to tahamhoihhaih paek oh, tangoeng o thuih hmah, tahamhoihaih paek oh.

bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not;

15 Anghoe kaminawk hoi nawnto anghoe oh, palungsae kaminawk hoi nawnto palungsae oh.

rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep;

16 Maeto hoi maeto poek anghmong oh. Long hmuennawk to amoek o haih hmah, poek pahnaemh kaminawk hoi angkom oh. Aling hanah nangmah hoi nangmah to palungha kami ah poek hmah.

cultivate the same disposition, one toward another: mind not high things, but conform yourselves to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits;

17 Mi kawbaktih doeh kasae to kasae hoi pathok hmah. Kaminawk boih hma ah kahoih hmuen poekhaih to tawn ah.

repay to no one evil for evil; practice that which is honorable in the sight of all men.

18 Angcoeng thaih nahaeloe, kami boih hoi angcoeng thaih thung, karaem ah khosah oh.

If possible, as far as may be in your power, be at peace with all men.

19 Palung ih kaminawk, nangmacae mah roe lu la o hmah, Sithaw palungphuihaih phak hanah ahmuen pahoe pae oh: Cabu thungah, lu lakhaih loe Kai ih ni; Kai mah lu Ka lak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to oh.

Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written: Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

20 To pongah, Na misa to zok amthlam nahaeloe, anih to buh pacah ah, tui anghae nahaeloe, anih han tui paek ah: to tiah na sak nahaeloe, a lu nuiah hmai kamngaeh na koeng pae baktiah ni om tih.

If, therefore, your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Kahoih ai hmuen mah pazawksak hmah, kahoih ai hmuen to kahoih hmuen hoiah pazawk ah.

Be not overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.
