Rom 12
1 Te dongah manuca rhoek nangmih, Pathen kah sitlohnah lamlong ni nangmih pum te Pathen taengah uem koi neh aka cim, aka hing hmueih la paek ham kan hloep. Nangmih kah mueihla thothuengnah tah he pawn ni.
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 Te dongah hekah diklai he rhoii uh boeh. Tedae lungbuei tlaihvongnah neh thohai uh. Pathen kah kongaih neh a boethen, a kolo neh a lungcuei te tah na soepsoei uh ni ta. (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 Nangmih ah aka om boeih te kamah taengah m'paek lungvatnah neh ka thui. Poek ham a kuek te poek voelh aih boeh. Pathen loh tangnah cungnueh bangla rhip a tultael te poek hamla muet uh lah.
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 Pum pakhat ah pumrho muep n'khueh uh van bangla, pumrho boeih loh a pongthoh te amah boeiloeih la a khueh uh moenih.
Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
5 He yet long he Khrih ah pum pakhat la n'om uh tih pakhat he khat pumrho boeiloeih ni.
so we are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one another.
6 Te dongah lungvatnah n'dang uh tarhing ah mamih te kutdoe a poekhloep la m'paek coeng tih tonghma khaw tangnah kah a tarhing la phong saeh.
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 Bibi te khaw bibi ah, aka thuituen long khaw thuituennah dongah, aka hloep long khaw thaphohnah dongah,
If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
8 aka doedan loh moeihoeihnah neh, aka mawt loh thahluenah neh, aka rhen loh omngaih cangtloeng neh, om saeh.
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 Lungnah tah hmantang saeh. A thae te tuei lamtah a then taengla kap uh.
Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
10 Pakhat te manuca lungnah neh saelong lamtah, pakhat te hinyahnah neh ngai uh.
Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
11 Thahluenah neh om lamtah yaikat uh boeh. Mueihla te cahoeh lamtah Boeipa te salbi pah.
Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
12 Ngaiuepnah neh omngaih uh. Phacip phabaem te ueh uh. Thangthuinah te khuituk uh.
Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
13 Hlangcim rhoek kah a ngoengaih te boek uh lamtah yinlungnah te hnuktlak uh.
Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
14 Nangmih aka hnaemtaek rhoek te uem uh. Na uem phoeiah tah thaephoei boeh,
Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
15 Omngaih taengah omngaih uh, aka rhap taengah rhap uh.
Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
16 Khat neh khat te vantlip la khopoek uh, a sang khaw te poek uh boel lamtah tlayae te rhoi uh mai. Namamih khuiah aka cueih la ngai uh boeh.
Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
17 Hlang boeih hmaiah a then la kho aka khan loh a thae te a thae la a thuung moenih.
Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
18 A coeng thai atah nangmih lamloh te hlang boeih neh rhoep uh thae.
and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Thintlo rhoek namamih loh thuung boeh tedae a thintoek te hmuen paek pah. A daek coeng dongah Boeipa loh, “Kutthungnah he kai hut, ka sah bitni,” a ti,
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 Tedae na rhal te a pong atah cah, a halh atah tul, Tlamte na saii daengah ni a lu ah hmai alh na poep eh.
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 A thae neh han noeng boeh, Tedae a thae te a then neh noeng lah.
Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
