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.

Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.

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)

Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying 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.

Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.

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

Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not 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 individually 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.

Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;

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

if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the teaching;

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

if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.

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

Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;

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

showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

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

not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;

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

rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

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

distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing hospitality.

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

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

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.

Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.

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

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.

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

If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

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,

Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; 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.

Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire 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 overcome the evil with the good.
