2 Peter 1
1 Jesus Christ i sal le sawltak ahi keima Simon Peter in, Pathian le eite hong ngum Jesus Christ i thutang suana tungtawn in eite taw a manpha upna a sang te tung ah:
Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Pathian le i Topa Jesus heakna tungtawn in note tung ah thuhtiamna le thinnopna hong khang tahen,
Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord.
3 A minthanna le phatna sung ah, Ama heakna tungtawn in hongsam pa in nuntakna le Pathian mi hina theampo te Pathian vangletna bang in hong pia zo hi:
For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue.
4 Hi bangin a lian mama le a manpha kamciam te hong pia hi: tua kamciam te hang in Pathian i hina a neipui te na hi thei natu uh in, cilesa deina tungtawn in leitung i siatna te pan na suakta zo uh hi.
By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Hi thu hang in na upna uh tung ah ngamtat phatna belap vun; ngamtat phatna tung ah heakna belap vun;
For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge,
6 Taciang heakna tung ah ki ukzawkna; taciang ki ukzawkna tung ah thuakna; taciang thuakna tung ah Pathian mi hina;
and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety,
7 Pathian mi hina tung ah u le nau tung ah phatna; tua tung ah itna belap vun.
and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself.
8 Banghangziam cile hi thu te sia note sung ah om in a khang ahile, i Topa Jesus Christ na heakna sung ah phatuam ngawl le nga nei ngawl in na om batu uh hi.
For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Ahihang hi thu te a nei ngawl peuma mittaw hi a, a khuala mu thei ngawl hi, taciang nidang a mawna te pan in ki thiangsak zo a hina zong mangil zo hi.
For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins.
10 Tua ahikom in suapui te awng, Pathian i sapna le tealna telthiang tu in hanciam vun: banghangziam cile hi thu te na vawt uh le, na puk ngei batu uh hi:
So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble.
11 Tabang in i Topa le ngumpa Jesus Christ i tawntung ukna sung ah tum thei natu a dimlet in na nga tu uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Tua ahikom note tu hun thuman na he uh a, tua thuman sung ah kho nginge napi, hi thu te tatsat ngawl in kong phawksak tu sia ka haisang batu hi.
I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you.
13 Hi hi, hi biakbuk sung ah ka om sung theampo, hong hanthawn in kong phawsak tu sia a maan a hihi, ci in ka ngaisun hi;
So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you,
14 I Topa Jesus Christ in hong mu sa bang in, a hai ngawl in hi ka biakbuk ka sut hamtang tu hi, ci ka he hi.
since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me.
15 Tuabek domngawl in hi thu te sia ka thi zawkciang zong tatsat ngawl in na phawk thei natu uh ka hanciam tu hi.
So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind.
16 Banghangziam cile i Topa Jesus Christ i vangletna le hongpai pheang tu thu note tung ah hong heaksak thei natu in, thimtheltak in phuatawm tangthu te ka zui bua uh hi, ahihang kote sia Ama minthanna mit vateak taw a mu tetti te ka hi uh hi.
For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.
17 Banghangziam cile, hisia sia ka it ka Tapa a hihi, Ama tung ah ka lungkim mama hi, ci aw sia a sangbel minthanna kung pan hongpai ciang in, Pa Pathian kung pan in upatna le minthanna nga hi.
For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight;
18 Ama taw mual thiangtho tung ah ka om uh lai in, vantung pan in hi aw ka za uh hi.
and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill.
19 Kamsang te sonkholna a thiang zaw thu zong i nei hi; note thinsung ah zingsol hong suak a, khuavak dong tua kamsang te sonkhol te sia khuazing na mun ah khuavak a tan bang in na kinging uh le, na pha seam na hi uh hi:
And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Laithiangtho sung kamsang te sonkhol thu sia, kuama in ama ngaisut na taw a khiakna thiangsak thei ngawl hi, ci tel masa tavun.
But first be assured of this - that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 Banghangziam cile nidanglai kamsang te i sonkhol thu sia mihing deina tungtawn in hongpai hi ngawl hi: ahihang Pathian i mithiangtho te in Tha Thiangtho makaina bang in a pau uh a hihi.
For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.
