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.
So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.
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)
Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and 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.
Let me explain to all of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should think of themselves better than they ought to. You should think about yourselves realistically, according to the degree of trust God has shared with you.
4 Takpum maeto pongah tanghang oh mangh, tanghangnawk loe maeto hoi maeto toksakhaih anghmong boih ai:
Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
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 are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one 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.
We each have different gifts that vary according to the grace given to us. So if it's speaking for God, then you should do so depending on how much you trust in God.
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;
If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
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.
if encouragement then you should encourage; if giving then you should give generously; if leadership then you should lead with commitment; if being merciful then you should do so gladly.
9 Amlunghaih ah angsakhaih om hmah nasoe. Kahoih ai hmuen to panuet oh loe, kahoih hmuen to kacakah patawn oh.
Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
10 Maeto hoi maeto nawkamya amlunghaih hoiah amlung oh; maeto hoi maeto khingyahaih ang paek oh.
Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
11 Toksak paqak o hmah; tha pathok oh loe, Angraeng tok to sah oh;
Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
12 oephaih tawn oh loe anghoe oh; raihaih tongh naah pauephaih palung to tawn oh loe, boeng ai ah lawkthui oh;
Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
13 kavawt kaciim kaminawk hanah hmuen to paek oh, angvinnawk to kahoihah khenzawn oh.
Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
14 Nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk to tahamhoihhaih paek oh, tangoeng o thuih hmah, tahamhoihaih paek oh.
Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
15 Anghoe kaminawk hoi nawnto anghoe oh, palungsae kaminawk hoi nawnto palungsae oh.
Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
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.
Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
17 Mi kawbaktih doeh kasae to kasae hoi pathok hmah. Kaminawk boih hma ah kahoih hmuen poekhaih to tawn ah.
Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
18 Angcoeng thaih nahaeloe, kami boih hoi angcoeng thaih thung, karaem ah khosah oh.
and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
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.
My dear friends, don't seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment—as Scripture points out, “‘It's for me to dispense justice, 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 those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they're thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.
21 Kahoih ai hmuen mah pazawksak hmah, kahoih ai hmuen to kahoih hmuen hoiah pazawk ah.
Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
