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, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
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.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be multiplied to 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! In his great mercy he caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Aka kuei tih aka cuem neh aka tlumtloih pawh rho la,
to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
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.
who by the power of God are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Te dongah hlampan uh lah. A kuek coeng atah noemcainah cungkuem dongah kolkalh khaw kothae neh om ta.
In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer 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 proven character of your faith—far more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire—may result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed.
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.
Although you once did not know him, you love him; although you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with an unspeakable and glorious joy,
9 Nangmih kah tangnah lamkah aka thoeng loh hinglu khangnah te na dang uh.
because you are receiving the end result of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
10 Nangmih ham lungvatnah kawng aka phong tonghma rhoek loh tekah khangnah kawng te a tlap uh tih a cae uh.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated,
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 about the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
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.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
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.
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 Olngainah kah a ca rhoek vanbangla, hnukbuet ah na kotalhnah bangla hoehhamnah te rhoii uh boeh.
As children of obedience, do not conform yourselves to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
15 Tedae nangmih aka khue te a cimcaih vanbangla, nangmih khaw omih boeih dongah cimcaih la om uh lah.
But just as he who called you is holy, you also must be holy in all your conduct,
16 Kai cimcaih la ka om dongah, cimcaih la om uh tila a daek coeng.
for it is written, “Be holy, because 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.
If you call on the Father who judges without partiality according to each person's work, pass the time of your sojourn in reverent fear.
18 Nangmih kah a honghi neh khokhuen omih lamkah aka hmawn thai tangka, neh sui neh n'tlan uh moenih.
For you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,
19 Tedae tuca bangla a cuemthuek neh a cuemhmuet a phu aka tlo Khrih thii nen ni tila ming uh.
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 Diklai tong hlanah a ming coeng ta. Amah lamloh Pathen dongah uepom nangmih ham hnukkhueng tue ah khaw phoe coeng.
He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last 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 believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might 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.
Since you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth through the Spirit, resulting in genuine brotherly love, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
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 of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God that lives and abides forever. (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 grass, and all the glory of man is like a flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls,
