Romans 12

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou kole ai kiate kimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻae ʻOtua, ke mou ʻatu homou sino ko e feilaulau moʻui, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo lelei ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ko e ngāue ʻoku taau mo kimoutolu ke fai.

2 Do not be conformed to this age (aiōn g165), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he māmani: ka ke mātuʻaki liliu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻo homou ʻatamai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo pau ʻae finangalo ko ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻa hono lelei, mo hono ʻaonga, mo hono haohaoa. (aiōn g165)

3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

He ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, ʻoku ou tala atu ai ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa lelei lahi ʻene mahalo kiate ia he mahalo ʻoku totonu; ka ke mahalo fakapotopoto, ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻoe tui kuo vaheʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki he tangata taki taha.

4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,

He ʻoku hangē ʻoku ʻi hotau sino pe taha ʻae ngaahi kupu lahi, ka ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻae ngāue tatau pē ʻe he kupu kotoa pē:

5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,

‌ʻOku pehē foki ʻakitautolu, ko e tokolahi, ka ko e sino pe taha ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻoku tau feʻaongaʻaki fakataha ʻae kupu kotoa pē.

6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoku fai kehekehe, ʻo taau mo e ʻofa kuo foaki kiate kitautolu, kapau ko e kikite, [tau fai ia ]ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻoe tui;

7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

Pe ko e tauhi, tau [fai ]ʻae tauhi: pe ko ia ʻoku akonaki, [ke fai ʻene ]akonaki;

8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Pe ko ia ʻoku ekinaki, [ke ne ]ekinaki: ko ia ʻoku foaki, ke [fai ia ]ʻo angatonu; ko ia ʻoku pule, [ke ]faʻa fai [ia]; ko ia ʻoku fai ʻofa, [ke fai ]ʻi he fiefie fai.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

Ke taʻemalualoi ʻae ʻofa. Fehiʻa ki he meʻa ʻoku kovi; piki maʻu ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei.

10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

Ke mou feʻofaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa fakakāinga; ʻo mou felotoleleiʻaki ʻi he fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki kiate kimoutolu;

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

‌ʻOua naʻa fakapikopiko ʻi he ngāue: ka mou loto vela; ʻo tauhi ki he ʻEiki;

12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,

‌ʻO fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei; pea faʻa kātaki ʻi he mamahi; pea fai maʻu ʻo fakakukafi ʻi he lotu;

13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

Tufaki ki he masiva ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni; tuli ki he angaʻofa.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.

Tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatanga kimoutolu: tāpuakiʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa kapea.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

Fiefia mo kinautolu ʻoku fiefia, pea tangi mo kinautolu ʻoku tangi.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

Ke felototahaʻaki ʻakimoutolu. ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻolunga, kae tataki ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻulalo. Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fiepoto ʻiate kimoutolu.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

‌ʻOua naʻa totongi ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae kovi ki ha taha. Fifili ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.

18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

Pea kapau ʻe faʻa lavaʻi, mou moʻui melino pē mo e kakai kotoa pē.

19 Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

‌ʻAe kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa mou fai ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ka mou fakaʻataʻatā ki he houhau: he kuo tohi, “ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae totongi; ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki,” te u totongi pē ʻeau.

20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Ko ia, “Kapau ʻoku fiekaia ho fili, fafanga ia; kapau ʻoku fieinu, ʻatu ha inu kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo fai pehē, te ke fokotuʻu ʻae malalaʻi afi ki hono ʻulu.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

‌ʻOua naʻa ikuna koe ʻe he kovi, kae ikuna ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae lelei.
