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.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable, —your rational divine service;

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)

And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God—the good and acceptable 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.

For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you, —not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly—as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

4 Pum pakhat ah pumrho muep n'khueh uh van bangla, pumrho boeih loh a pongthoh te amah boeiloeih la a khueh uh moenih.

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

5 He yet long he Khrih ah pum pakhat la n'om uh tih pakhat he khat pumrho boeiloeih ni.

So, we, the many, are one body in Christ, yet, severally, members one of 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.

Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing—whether prophesying, [let us use it] according to the proportion of our faith,

7 Bibi te khaw bibi ah, aka thuituen long khaw thuituennah dongah, aka hloep long khaw thaphohnah dongah,

Or ministering, [use it] in our ministering, or he that teacheth, [let him use his gift] in his teaching,

8 aka doedan loh moeihoeihnah neh, aka mawt loh thahluenah neh, aka rhen loh omngaih cangtloeng neh, om saeh.

Or he that exhorteth, in his exhorting, he that imparteth, [let it be] with liberality, he that taketh a lead, with diligence, he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Lungnah tah hmantang saeh. A thae te tuei lamtah a then taengla kap uh.

Your love, [be] without hypocrisy, —loathing that which is wicked, cleaving to that which is good;

10 Pakhat te manuca lungnah neh saelong lamtah, pakhat te hinyahnah neh ngai uh.

In your brotherly love, unto one another, being tenderly affectioned, in honour, unto one another, giving preference;

11 Thahluenah neh om lamtah yaikat uh boeh. Mueihla te cahoeh lamtah Boeipa te salbi pah.

In business, not slothful, in spirit, fervent, to the Lord, doing service,

12 Ngaiuepnah neh omngaih uh. Phacip phabaem te ueh uh. Thangthuinah te khuituk uh.

In hope, rejoicing, in tribulation, enduring, in prayer, persevering,

13 Hlangcim rhoek kah a ngoengaih te boek uh lamtah yinlungnah te hnuktlak uh.

With the needs of the saints, having fellowship, —hospitality, pursuing.

14 Nangmih aka hnaemtaek rhoek te uem uh. Na uem phoeiah tah thaephoei boeh,

Bless them that persecute, bless, and do not curse.

15 Omngaih taengah omngaih uh, aka rhap taengah rhap uh.

Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep:

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.

The same thing, one to another regarding, —not the lofty things regarding, but, by the lowly, being led along. Be not getting presumptuous in your own opinion:

17 Hlang boeih hmaiah a then la kho aka khan loh a thae te a thae la a thuung moenih.

Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

18 A coeng thai atah nangmih lamloh te hlang boeih neh rhoep uh thae.

If possible—so far as dependeth on you, with all men being at peace:

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,

Not avenging, yourselves, beloved, but give place unto their anger; for it is written—Mine, is avenging, I, will recompense; —saith 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.

But—if thine enemy hunger, be feeding him, if he thirst, be giving him drink; for, this doing, coals of fire, shalt thou heap upon his head.

21 A thae neh han noeng boeh, Tedae a thae te a then neh noeng lah.

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