1 Peter 1
1 Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih, Peter loh, Pontus, Galati, Kappadokia, Asia neh Bithunia kah a coelh tih canglak mupoe lampah taengah,
Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Jesuh Khrih kah olngainah neh thii a haeh dongah mueihla kah cimcaihnah rhangneh pa Pathen kah a ming oepsoeh vanbangla nangmih taengah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah ping saeh tila kan yaak sak.
in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you.
3 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah Pathen neh Pa tah thangpom pai saeh. A rhennah a len vanbangla duek lamkah Jesuh Khrih kah thohkoepnah loh aka hing ngaiuepnah dongah mamih n'cun coeng.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
4 Aka kuei tih aka cuem neh aka tlumtloih pawh rho la,
unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
5 hnukkhueng tue ah sikim la aka pumphoe ham khangnah te tangnah lamloh a khoembael tih Pathen kah thaomnah neh nangmih ham vaan ah a kuem coeng.
By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
6 Te dongah hlampan uh lah. A kuek coeng atah noemcainah cungkuem dongah kolkalh khaw kothae neh om ta.
In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
7 Te daengah man aka poci sui lakah aka kuel nangmih kah tangnah dongkah nuemnainah te hmai neh a nuemnai vaengah Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah dongah koehnah, thangpomnah neh hinyahnah te a hmuh ve.
so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Anih te m'hmuh pawt dae na lungnah uh. Tahae ah khaw m'hmu uh pawt dae amah te na tangnah uh dongah thui thai lek mueh omngaihnah neh na kohoe uh tih na thangpom uh.
For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 Nangmih kah tangnah lamkah aka thoeng loh hinglu khangnah te na dang uh.
returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
10 Nangmih ham lungvatnah kawng aka phong tonghma rhoek loh tekah khangnah kawng te a tlap uh tih a cae uh.
About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you,
11 Khrih kah patangnah neh te phoeikah thangpomnah te Khrih mueihla loh amih khuiah a phong vaengah balae, mebang tue nim a thuicaih tila a khe uh.
inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.
12 Amih taengah aka pumphoe te amamih ham moenih tih te nen te nangmih ham ni a moem uh. Te te vaan lamkah han tueih Mueihla Cim neh nangmih olthangthen a phong te tahae ah amih rhangneh nangmih taengah ha puen coeng. Tekah khuila sawt hamla puencawn rhoek loh a hue uh.
To them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.
13 Te dongah nangmih kah kopoek pumpu te hlawt lamtah cue uh lah. Jesuh Khrih kah pumphoenah dongah nangmih ham lungvatnah han khuen te khuek ngaiuep lah.
For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Olngainah kah a ca rhoek vanbangla, hnukbuet ah na kotalhnah bangla hoehhamnah te rhoii uh boeh.
Be like sons of obedience, not conforming to the desires of your former ignorance,
15 Tedae nangmih aka khue te a cimcaih vanbangla, nangmih khaw omih boeih dongah cimcaih la om uh lah.
but in accord with him who has called you: the Holy One. And in every behavior, you yourself must be holy,
16 Kai cimcaih la ka om dongah, cimcaih la om uh tila a daek coeng.
for it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am Holy.”
17 Te phoeiah pakhat rhip kah khoboe vanbangla langya ah lai aka tloek te a pa tila na khue uh atah nangmih kah yinlai la na om uh a tue khuiah rhihnah neh khosa uh.
And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
18 Nangmih kah a honghi neh khokhuen omih lamkah aka hmawn thai tangka, neh sui neh n'tlan uh moenih.
For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,
19 Tedae tuca bangla a cuemthuek neh a cuemhmuet a phu aka tlo Khrih thii nen ni tila ming uh.
but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,
20 Diklai tong hlanah a ming coeng ta. Amah lamloh Pathen dongah uepom nangmih ham hnukkhueng tue ah khaw phoe coeng.
foreknown, certainly, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.
21 Amah te duek lamkah a thoh tih a taengah thangpomnah a paek coeng. Te dongah nangmih kah tangnah neh ngaiuepnah te Pathen dongah om saeh.
Through him, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
22 Hmantang kah manuca lungnah ham oltak kah olngainah neh na hinglu te ciim uh. Thinko a caih lamloh khat neh khat nguen nguen lungnah uh.
So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.
23 Aka hmawn thai cangtii lamkah pawt tih aka kuei, aka hing tih aka naeh Pathen kah olka lamloh n'cun coeng. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born again, not from corruptible seed, but from what is incorruptible, from the Word of God, living and remaining for all eternity. (aiōn g165)
24 Pumsa boeih tah khopol bangla om tih, a thangpomnah boeih khaw khopol paii bangla om. Khopol tah koh tih rhaipai khaw rhul.
For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.
