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.

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.

2 Don’t be conformed to this world, 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. (aiōn g165)

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)

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.

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.

4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

Takpum maeto pongah tanghang oh mangh, tanghangnawk loe maeto hoi maeto toksakhaih anghmong boih ai:

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

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.

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;

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.

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

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;

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.

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.

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

Amlunghaih ah angsakhaih om hmah nasoe. Kahoih ai hmuen to panuet oh loe, kahoih hmuen to kacakah patawn oh.

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

Maeto hoi maeto nawkamya amlunghaih hoiah amlung oh; maeto hoi maeto khingyahaih ang paek oh.

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

Toksak paqak o hmah; tha pathok oh loe, Angraeng tok to sah oh;

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

oephaih tawn oh loe anghoe oh; raihaih tongh naah pauephaih palung to tawn oh loe, boeng ai ah lawkthui oh;

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

kavawt kaciim kaminawk hanah hmuen to paek oh, angvinnawk to kahoihah khenzawn oh.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

Nangcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk to tahamhoihhaih paek oh, tangoeng o thuih hmah, tahamhoihaih paek oh.

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

Anghoe kaminawk hoi nawnto anghoe oh, palungsae kaminawk hoi nawnto palungsae oh.

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

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.

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

Mi kawbaktih doeh kasae to kasae hoi pathok hmah. Kaminawk boih hma ah kahoih hmuen poekhaih to tawn ah.

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

Angcoeng thaih nahaeloe, kami boih hoi angcoeng thaih thung, karaem ah khosah oh.

19 Don’t 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.”

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.

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.”

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.

21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Kahoih ai hmuen mah pazawksak hmah, kahoih ai hmuen to kahoih hmuen hoiah pazawk ah.
