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 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 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 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 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, 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 Pum pakhat ah pumrho muep n'khueh uh van bangla, pumrho boeih loh a pongthoh te amah boeiloeih la a khueh uh moenih.
For even as we have many members in one body, and not all members have the same function;
5 He yet long he Khrih ah pum pakhat la n'om uh tih pakhat he khat pumrho boeiloeih ni.
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of 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.
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 Bibi te khaw bibi ah, aka thuituen long khaw thuituennah dongah, aka hloep long khaw thaphohnah dongah,
If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.
8 aka doedan loh moeihoeihnah neh, aka mawt loh thahluenah neh, aka rhen loh omngaih cangtloeng neh, om saeh.
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 Lungnah tah hmantang saeh. A thae te tuei lamtah a then taengla kap uh.
Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.
10 Pakhat te manuca lungnah neh saelong lamtah, pakhat te hinyahnah neh ngai uh.
As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.
11 Thahluenah neh om lamtah yaikat uh boeh. Mueihla te cahoeh lamtah Boeipa te salbi pah.
In your diligence be free from sloth. Be glowing in spirit. Slave for the master.
12 Ngaiuepnah neh omngaih uh. Phacip phabaem te ueh uh. Thangthuinah te khuituk uh.
Rejoice in hope; be patient under affliction; continue stedfast in prayer.
13 Hlangcim rhoek kah a ngoengaih te boek uh lamtah yinlungnah te hnuktlak uh.
Be liberal to needy saints. Practise hospitality.
14 Nangmih aka hnaemtaek rhoek te uem uh. Na uem phoeiah tah thaephoei boeh,
Bless your persecutors, bless, and curse not.
15 Omngaih taengah omngaih uh, aka rhap taengah rhap uh.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who 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.
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 Hlang boeih hmaiah a then la kho aka khan loh a thae te a thae la a thuung moenih.
Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.
18 A coeng thai atah nangmih lamloh te hlang boeih neh rhoep uh thae.
If it be possible, so far as it lies with you, be at peace with all men.
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,
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 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.
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 A thae neh han noeng boeh, Tedae a thae te a then neh noeng lah.
Do not be overcome by evil, but be overcoming evil with good.
