< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Jesuh Khrih kah sal neh caeltueih Simon Peter loh, tangnah dongah mamih kah Pathen neh khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah duengnah, mamih neh vantlip la aka yo rhoek taengah kan yaak sak.
Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Nangmih Lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah Pathen neh mamih boeipa Jesuh mingnah lamloh nangmih taengah ping saeh.
May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 Amah thaomnah Pathen kah a tarhing ah hingnah neh hingcimnah ham, a thangpomnah neh boethen dongah mamih aka khue te mingnah lamloh, mamih taengah a cungkuem m'paek coeng.
Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;
4 Te lamlong ni a phu aka tlo tih aka lenkoek olkhueh te mamih m'paek. Te daengah ni he rhoek lamloh Pathen kah a coengnah kah a pueipo, Diklai hoehhamnah dongkah hmawnnah neh na loeih la na om eh.
And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
5 He dongah thahluenah te boeih rhoih uh. Khoboethen te na tangnah neh, mingnah te khoboethen neh,
So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,
6 mingnah te kuemsuemnah neh, kuemsuemnah te uehnah neh, uehnah te hingcimnah neh,
And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,
7 hingcimnah te khaw manuca lungnah neh, manuca lungnah te khaw lungnah neh thap uh.
And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.
8 He rhoek tah nangmih ah om tih a pungtai dongah mamih boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah mingnah dongah palyal pawt tih a tlongtlai n'khueh moenih.
For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 He rhoek neh aka om pawt te tah mikdael la om tih a hmuh toi. A tholh dingrhae vaengkah cimcaihnah te hnilhnah a khueh.
For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.
10 Te dongah, manuca rhoek, nangmih kah khuenah neh tueknah te saii hamla khangmai la haam uh lah. Te te aka saii tah vaikhat khaw na paloe loengloeng mahpawh.
For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall:
11 Te daengah ni mamih Boeipa neh Khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah dungyan ram la kunnah te nangmih ham kodam la han thap eh. (aiōnios )
For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
12 Te dongah hekah a kawng he na ming uh tih, oltak dongah na om uh te cawt duel cakhaw nangmih te a thoelh ham ka cai taitu.
For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
13 Tahae kah rhaehim ah ka om khuiah thoelhnah neh nangmih haeng ham te khaw dueng tila ka poek.
And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;
14 Mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih long pataeng kai taengah a thuicaih vanbangla kai kah rhaehim a capitnah tah om pawn ni tila ka ming.
For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Tedae kai te ka sunglatnah hnukah he he nangmih taengah poekkoepnah khueh sak taitu ham khaw ka haam.
And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.
16 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah thaomnah neh a lonah te cil la ka phueng uh tih ka vai dongah nangmih taengah kam phoe uh moenih. Tedae a lennah te aka hmukung rhoek la ka om uh ta.
For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.
17 Pa Pathen taeng lamkah hinyahnah neh thangpomnah a doe vaengah tebang aka khuet thangpomnah lamloh, “Kamah capa tah kamah thintlo pai ni he, a soah kai ka lungtlun,” tila anih taengah ol hang khuen.
For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
18 Tlang cim ah amah neh ka om uh vaengah vaan lamkah hekah ol he hang khuen tih, kaimih long khaw ka yaak uh.
And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Te phoeiah tonghma ol te khaw khangmai la ka khueh uh. Tekah te nangmih thinko ah khothai tih thuipa a thoeng duela tikhut hmuen ah aka vang hmaiim bangla ngaithuen uh lamtah balh saii uh.
And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;
20 He he lamhma la ming uh. Cacim kah tonghma ol boeih tah amah la thuicaihnah a om moenih.
Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.
21 Tonghma ol tah hlang kongaih lamloh hang khuen noek moenih. Tedae Mueihla Cim kah a mawt rhangneh Pathen taengkah ni hlang loh a phong.
For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
