Romans 12

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Koia ahau ka inoi nei ki a koutou, e oku teina, kia whakaaroa nga mahi a te Atua, kia tapaea atu o koutou tinana hei whakahere ora, tapu, e manakohia ana e te Atua, he mahi na to koutou hinengaro.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Kaua hoki to koutou ahua e rite ki to tenei ao: engari kia puta ke, ara kia whakahoutia o koutou hinengaro, kia whakamatautauria ai e koutou ta te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manakohia ana, e tino rite ana.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki nga tangata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa i homai nei ki ahau, Kaua e hira ake te whakaaro o tetahi ki a ia ano i te mea i tika kia whakaaroa e ia; engari kia ata whakaaro, kia rite ki te wahi o te wha kapono i tuwhaina e te Atua ki tena, ki tena.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Ko te kaiwhakahauhau, kia u ki tana whakahauhau; ko te kaihoatu, kia mahorahora te ngakau; ko te kaiwhakahaere kia uaua ki tana mahi, a ko te kaiatawhai kia ngahau te ahua.

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

Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Kia kotahi te whakaaro o koutou tetahi ki tetahi. Kaua e whakakake te whakaaro, engari me whakaiti ki nga mea papaku. Kei mea ake koutou he mohio koutou.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Aua e rapu utu mo koutou, e oku hoa aroha, engari whakaatea atu i te riri: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Na, ki te matekai tou hoariri, whangainga; ki te matewai, whakainumia: ki te penei hoki tau mahi, ka purangatia e koe he waro kapura ki tona matenga.

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

Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
