1 Peter 2
1 Te dongah phayoenah boeih khaw, tuengkhuepnah neh thailatnah boeih khaw, uethnetnah neh olthaekaling boeih hnawt uh laeh.
MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander;
2 Cahni thangpaek rhoek bangla, mueihla suktui tang te ngaidam uh lah. Te daengah ni te nen te khangnah dongah na rhoeng uh eh.
and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.
3 Boeipa tah kodam la na ten uh atah,
If you have tasted and seen how good is the Lord,
4 hlang loh a hnawt coeng ngawn dae Pathen taengah a khoelh la a coelh aka hing lungnu te paan uh.
unto whom you have come, who is the living stone whom men have rejected, yet (who is) chosen and honourable with Aloha.
5 Nangmih khaw aka hing lungto bangla a cim khosoih la om ham mueihla im te sa uh. Jesuh Khrih rhangneh Pathen taengah a uem la mueihla hmueih te khuen uh.
And you also as living stones are builded, and become a spiritual temple, and holy priests to offer sacrifices, which are acceptable before Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.
6 Cacim khuiah a hulh coeng ta. Zion kah imkil lung te a khoelh la ka coelh tih ka tloeng ke. Te dongah anih soah aka pangtung tah yahpok loengloeng mahpawh.
For it is said in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone choice and honourable in the head of the corner: whosoever believeth in him shall not be ashamed.
7 Te dongah aka tangnah nangmih tah hinyahnah om pai. Tedae hnalval rhoek aih, te lungto te aka sa loh rhoek hnawt cakhaw imkil lu la poeh. Te dongah caehkoek lung neh thangkui lungpang la poeh.
To you therefore is given this honour, to them who believe: but to them who are disobedient he is a rock of offence,
8 U khaw olka aka aek long tah a tongtah ham ni tekah te khaw a khueh.
or a stone of stumbling, and they are offended at him in not obeying the word, because to this they are set.
9 Tedae nangmih tah a coelh namtu, mangpa khosoih, namtu cim, dangnah dongkah pilnam ni. Te daengah ni yinnah lamkah nangmih te amah kah aka khuet vangnah khuila aka khue taengah boethen na tueng eh.
But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom, a holy people, a congregation redeemed to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:
10 Hnukbuet kah a pilnam pawt te Pathen kah a pilnam la na om uh coeng. A rhen mueh te n'rhen coeng.
those who before were not reputed a people, but now the people of Aloha; upon whom also mercies were not; but now, mercies are poured upon you.
11 Thintlo rhoek aw, te pumsa hoehhamnah te rhael ham yinlai neh lampah bangla nangmih kan hloep. Te tah hinglu dongkah vathoh banghui la om.
MY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and as sojourners, be separate from all the lusts of the body which make wars against the soul.
12 Nangmih kah omih te namtom taengah a then la khueh uh. Te daengah ni laihmu bangla nangmih n'yan vaengah khoboe then aka hmu rhoek loh hiphoelnah khohnin ah Pathen te a thangpom uh eh.
And let your conversation be good before all men; and they who speak against you malicious words shall see your good deeds, and shall glorify Aloha in the day of the probation.
13 Boeipa kongah tah suentae hlanghing boeih, tanglue manghai taengah khaw boengai uh.
And be subject to all men for the sake of Aloha: to kings, on account of their authority;
14 Laihmu te kutthungnah ham neh boethen te koehnah ham ni amah lamloh khoboei rhoek khaw a tueih.
and to judges, because from him they are sent for the punishment of transgressors, and for the commendation of good works.
15 Malkoelh-maldang hlang ang rhoek paa sak ham a thensai he Pathen kah kongaih tangloeng coeng ni.
For so is the will of Aloha, that by your comely works you may shut the mouth of fools who know not Aloha.
16 Te dongah poenghalnah he phayoenah kah muekdahnah la om boel saeh lamtah Pathen kah sal rhoek bangla aka loeih la omuh.
As the sons of liberty, yet not as men who make their liberty a veil for their wickedness, but as the servants of Aloha.
17 Hlang boeih te hinyah lah. Manuca te lungnah. Pathen te rhih uh lamtah manghai te hinyah uh.
Honour all; your brethren love; and Aloha revere; and kings honour.
18 Imkhut rhoek, a cungkuem ah boengai uh lamtah boeikung te rhihnah khuehuh. Boethen neh kodo taeng bueng ah pawt tih vilvak rhoek taengah khaw birhih lah.
And those servants who are among you, be subject to your masters with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the hard and the severe.
19 Pathen kah mingcimnah kongah khat khat loh kothaenah a yook tih a patang dahlawt atah te te lungvatnah la a om pah.
For these are pleasing before Aloha, who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure the afflictions that come upon them unjustly.
20 Na tholh tih m'phop vaengah na ueh uh koinih balae a uem eh? Tedae a then tih patang na ueh uh koinih ta, te ni Pathen taengah lungvatnah aka om.
For they who on account of their offences suffer tribulations, what praise have they? But when you do well and they afflict you, and you endure, then doth your praise become great with Aloha.
21 Khrih khaw nangmih ham a patang dongah ni te ham te n'khue. A kholaeh te rhoih hamla nangmih kah awtkoi la a khueh coeng.
For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk.
22 Anih tah tholhnah khaw saii pawt tih a ka dongah tuengkhuepnah khaw phoe pawh.
Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;
23 Ol aka bai te thuung pawh. A patang vaengah hihham pawh. Tedae laitloek aka tiktam vik te a voeih uh.
who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;
24 Amah loh mamih kah tholhnah te thing dongkah amah pum dongah a khuen coeng. Te daengah ni tholhnah dongah aka duek loh duengnah dongah n'hing uh eh. Amah kah boengha lamloh na hoeih uh coeng.
and took all our sins and upbore them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,
25 Tu bangla na om uh dongah na taengphael uh. Tedae tudawn neh na hinglu hiphoelkung taengla na bal uh coeng.
who had wandered as sheep, and are returned now unto the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
