1 Peter 1
1 Hiche lekhathot hi Yeshua Christa solchah Peter a kon ahi. Keiman Pathen lhendoh mite gamchom mi dinmun a, Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia chule Bithynia gamkai hoa cheng ho henga kajih ahi.
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Pa Pathen in nanahet uva chule masang peh a nalhendoh uva, chule a Lhagaovin nasuhtheng u ahitai. Hichea kona chu nanghon asei na ngaiyuva chule Yeshua Christa thisan a nasop thengu ahitai. Pathen in lungsetna le cham-lungmon napeh be be jengtau hen.
chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
3 I-Pakaiyu Yeshua Christa Pa Pathen ah vahchoina jouse umjing tahen. Ama milungsetna let jeh'a eiho pengthah a ihiu hi Pathen in Yeshua Christa chu athilah a kona akai thou jal jeh ahi.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Chule eihon gou simjou lou loding ineiyui-gouchan ding chu vana nangho dinga kikoiya ahi.
to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Chule natahsan jaluva chu, Pathen in athahat'a hiche huhhingna hi nakisan kahseuva na honbit uva, mi jousen amutheina dinguva ni nununga hung kilang ding ahi.
whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
6 Hijehchun kipah tahbeh un. Nanghon phat chomkhat a dinga patepna hahsa tampi nathoh dingu ahivangin, kipana kidangtah namasanguvah aume.
Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
7 Hiche patepna ho hin natahsanu chu akicheh monge ti avetsah ding ahi. Meiyin apatep banga natahsan u chu patep'a uma ahin chule sana maimai sanga natahsan nau mantamjo ahivanga, sana kilhantheng banga natahsan u chu kipatep'ah ahi. Hijeh a chu natahsan u chun patepna tintang ato jouva hattah a aum den a ahileh, Yeshua Christa chu vannoi pumpia akiphondoh teng chuleh nangho dinga vahchoina le loupina chule jabolna tamtah ahin lhutding ahitai.
The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 Ama namu khah louvang uvin nangailu uve. Tuhin Ama namu loulai vanguvin, Ama natahsan tauve; chule nangho kipana loupitah phondoh theihoi hilou chun nakipah tauve.
Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
9 Ama natahsan jeh uva ahung sohdoh chu na lhagaovu huhhing channa ahung hitai.
while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
10 Hiche huhhingna thudol, lungset man'a huhhingna nangho dinga kigong chu ahi, themgao hon gaova anasei laiyuva ahetchet nom'u chu.
There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
11 Amahon itih phat a ahilouleh itih a asunguva um Christa Lhagao chun Christa gimthohna le khonunga Aloupina kidangtah thudol chu akihou piuva, anaseipeh masah u ham ti chu adatmo uvin ahi.
They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.
12 Amaho chu athupohhou amahoa dinga hilouvin, nanghoa ding joh ahi ti seipeh anahiuve. Chule hiche Kipana Thuphahi nangho koma Vana kona Lhagao Theng thahatna'a seiphonga pang ho chun ahin phondoh u ahitai. Hiche hi akidanna kit chu vantil tenjong lung gutten a hicheho hi avetvet'u ahi.
To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.
13 Hijeh chun, phatechan gelun chule kitim themun. Yeshua chu vannoiya ahung kilah tengleh nachunguva lungsetna huhhingna hung lhung ding chu galdot un.
Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Hiti chun, Pathen thua nungte bangin hinkho mangun. Nalung ngaichat u suhbulhitna dingin masang nahin khouva chun kinungtol kit hih un. Chupet a chu aphajo ding nahet loulaiyu ahi.
And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,
15 Hinlah tun, Pathen nadei lhenpau athen tobanga chu nangho jong imalam jousea nathen dingu ahi.
but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
16 Ajeh chu Pathen Thubun, “Keima kathen jeh hin nangho jong thengun,” ati.
Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy."
17 Chule geldoh uvin, natao nau Vana Pa chun koima lungset tum aneipoi. Aman natoh dung juiyuva nachung thu'u atan ding ahilouleh kipaman napeh dingu ahi. Hitia hi gamsunga kholjin nahi nauva hi Ama jana neiya nagin lhungkei dingu ahi.
And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
18 Ajeh chu nanghon nahe tauve, Pathen in napu napa teuva kona kiloson hinkho panna beiya kona hi lhatdohna man apeh ahitai. Chule hiche lhatna man apeh chu sana ahilouleh dangka thila ahipoi.
knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,
19 Chonset bei, nolnabei Pathen kelngoinou, Christa thisan manlutah a chu kilhat nahiuve.
but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
20 Pathen in ama chu vannoi kiphudoh masangpeh a nalhat diuva alhendoh chu, hiche ninununga hi Ama hung kiphongdoh a ahitai.
He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
21 Christa jal'a Pathen nahin tahsanu ahitai. Chule nanghon Pathena natahsan u le nakinep nau chu nangap det'u ahitai, ajeh chu Aman Christa chu thinaa konin akaithouvin chule loupina lentah chu napetauve.
are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.
22 Nangho thutah thua nanun phat uva nachonset nauva kona thenga nahi tauve, hijeh a chu tua hi nangho sopi hina a nangho ngailutna dihtah chu nakineito diu ahitai. Nalung gil pum piuvin khat le khat kingailu touvin.
Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
23 Ajeh chu nangho penthahna hi abeiloi ding tuhinkhoa ahipoi. Hinna thah naneiyu hi aitih a umjing ding ahi, ajeh chu hichu Pathen Thuhing jing tonsot'a um jinga kon ahi. (aiōn g165)
For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (aiōn g165)
24 Pathen Thubun asei dung juiyin, “Mihemte hi hampa tobangbep ahi, ahoinau jong loujaova pahcha pah tobangbep ahi. Hampa agopjin chule apah chu amolloiji.
"All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;
