1 Peter 5
1 Te dongah nangmih khuikah patong rhoek te kamah patongpuei neh Khrih kah patangnah aka mingpuei rhoek, aka pumphoe ham thangpomnah pueipo la om ham kan hloep.
THE presbyters among you I exhort, who am a co-presbyter and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed:
2 Pathen kah tuping nangmih taengkah te dawndah uh. A mangkhak la pawt tih Pathen kongaih bangla, thuhrhawk nen pawt tih kothoh neh hiphoel uh.
feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind;
3 Na hmulung dongkah rhoek te vueinan boeh. Tedae tuping kah mueimae la om uh.
not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock.
4 Te daengah ni, tudawn a ham a phoe veangah aka kuei thangpomnah rhuisam na dang uh eh.
And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 Te vanbangla tanoe rhoek a ham rhoek taengah boengai uh. Pathen loh buhueng aka pom te a pakai dae tlayae taengah lungvatnah a paek dongah khat neh khat taengah tlayaenah neh boeih thingcam uh.
In like manner, ye who are younger persons, be in subjection to your elders: but all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed from head to foot with humility: for God sets himself in opposition to the proud, but he giveth grace to the lowly.
6 Pathen kah kut al hmuiah na tlarhoel uh tangloeng daengah ni nangmih te a tuetang vaengah n'pomsang eh.
Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season:
7 Amah te nangmih ham a ngaihuet coeng dongah nangmih kah mawntangnah boeih amah dongah hal uh.
casting all your anxiety upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Cue uh lamtah hak uh. Nangmih kah kocaelh rhaithae tah sathueng bangla kawk tih a dolh ham te aka tlap la pongpa coeng.
Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Anih te tangnah neh khak tungkha uh. Diklai ah na manuca loh patangnah a poeng te amah la ming uh.
against whom stand fast, firm in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are fully endured by the brotherhood which is in the world.
10 Lungvatnah cungkuem kah Pathen neh Khrih Jesuh kah dungyan a thangpomnah dongla nangmih aka khue amah loh kolkalh kah patang lamloh nangmih te m'moeh vetih, n'duel vetih, n'thaphoh vetih, n'thoh bitni. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Kam poek vanbangla uepom manuca Silvanas lamloh nangmih te a yool la kam pat. Kan hloep tih ka phong he Pathen kah lungvatnah taktak ni. Te dongah te pai uh.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I think, I have written to you a few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye are standing fast.
13 Nangmih bangla Babylon ah a coelh neh ka ca Marku loh n'toidal coeng.
She who is co-elect at Babylon, saluteth you, and my son Mark.
14 Khat neh khat te lungnah, moknah neh toidal uh dae. Khrih ah aka om rhoepnah boeih nangmih taengah om saeh.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
