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, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual 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 fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye 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 I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man 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 even as we have many members in one body, and 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, who are many, are one body in Christ, and 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.

And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] 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 ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to 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, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

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

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

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

In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned 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 diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

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

rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

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

communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

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

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.

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.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not 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.

Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

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

If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, 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,

Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; 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, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

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

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