1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,
Acunakyase, mkhyenak naküt, hleihlaknak naküt, ngsaihnak naküt, ngkeingkünak naküt ja pyenksenak mjüküm jah hawih ua.
2 as new-born babes, earnestly desire the pure spiritual milk, that you may grow by it,
Hmi law thaiki hnasena kba, ngmüimkhya cihtui ngcim aläa cawixai lü ve ua. Acunüng va, acun eiaw lü dämduh law lü küikyannak nami yah khai.
3 if; indeed, you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Cangcim naw a pyena kba, “Bawipa ihlawka akcanga dawki ti cun namimät naw nami cayah pängki.”
4 Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by man, but in the sight of God, chosen and precious,
Khyang he naw ia käh mawngmeikia ngai lü ami ma. Cunüngpi, Pamhnam naw aphu küia a xü päng, xüngseikia lung Bawipaa veia law ua.
5 you, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, that you may offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Nangmi pi xüngseikia lunga kya u lü, ngmüimkhya üng sängeikia im sawngsaknak üng sumei ua. Acuna im üng ktaiyü ngcime naw Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Pamhnama veia ngmüimkhya üng sängeikia ngkengnak ami petnak vai hnüna kyaki.
6 For it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, chosen, precious; and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Cangcim üng, “Aphu küi lung ka xü, Zion mcunga aphungnua ka tak; Ani jumeiki naküt cun itia pi käh hmaiset khai” ti lü veki.
7 To you, then, who believe, is this preciousness: but the stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of the corner,
Ahina lung nami jumeikie phäh ta aphu kdäm yah khaie. Cunüngpi, am jumeikiea phäh ta: ia am mawngkia ngai lü imksae naw ami nawt hüa lung cun, aphungnu ktunga thawn law khawiki.
8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to the disobedient, who stumble at the word because they are disobedient, to which stumbling they were also appointed.
Cangcim naw a pyen betü ta: “Ahina lung ni khyange jah ngsukeisaki, khyange jah kyukngpäsakia lung.” Ngthu am ami juma phäh ni ami ngsukei; acun ni Pamhnam naw ami phäha a hlüei.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you should show forth the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his wonderful light:
Cunüngpi, nangmi ta ning jah xüa khyangmjü, Sangpuxanga ktaiyü he, ngcingcaihkia khyange ja amät Pamhnama sakhyange ni. Pamhnama müncankse khute jah sang khaia, anghmüp khui üngkhyüh amäta müncan phyakia akvai üng ning jah khü be lü a ning jah xü päng ni.
10 who formerly were not a people, but now are the people of God; who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy.
Ahlana ta Pamhnama khyanga am kya uki. Atuh ta ania khyanga nami kyaki. Ahlana ta Pamhnama mpyeneinak am ksing uki. Atuh ta a mpyeneinak nami yaheiki.
11 Beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and sojourners, that you keep yourselves from fleshly desires, which war against the soul,
Ka püi he aw, khawmdek khana khin ja pekce khyanga kba ning jah nghui na veng. Aläa ngmüimkhya ngtäkpüiki mtisa hlükaw naküt hjawng ua.
12 maintaining an honorable mode of life am one the Gentiles, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may, on account of your good works which they witness, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Am jumeikiea ksunga nami pawh naküt akdawa pawh ua. Akse pawhkia khyange ami ning jah tinaka kcün üng, akdaw nami pawh cun süm be lü a law bea Khawmhnüp üng Pamhnam ami mküimto vaia phäh ni.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord’s sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme ruler,
Khyang nghngicima ana naküt Bawipaa ngminga phäh jah läklam ua. Ana ak’hlüng säih taki Emperoa pyen läklam ua.
14 or to governors, as those sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of those who do well.
Akdaw pawhki mküiei lü akse pawhki kcet khaia Empero naw a jah mcawn mlüh ukea mtheh pi jah läklam ua.
15 For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men;
Khyang kseea am dawkia ngthu ami pyen cun akdaw nami pawhnak naw a jah him vai Pamhnam naw hlüei ve.
16 as being free, and yet not using your freedom as a cloak for malice, but as servants of God.
Lätnak yahki khyanga kba nami xüngsekie ni. Cunüngpi, nami lätlangnak cen akse thupnak vaia käh sumei lü, Pamhnama mpyaa kba ve ua.
17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood; reverence God; honor the king.
Khyang naküt leisawng ua, nami khritjanpüi mhläkphya na ua. Pamhnam kyüh lü Empero pi leisawng ua.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse.
Mpyae aw, leisawngnak am nami bawi veia ng’apei ua. Khyang kdaw ja khyang k’hniphnawiea ma däka am ni lü, khyang mlung k’ngyatea veia pi acukba ve ua.
19 For this is praiseworthy, if any one, on account of conscience toward God, endure sorrows, suffering unjustly.
Pamhnama hlüei nami dangyaha phäh am khamei vai sükyaw nami khamei üng, acuna phäh Pamhnam naw dawkyanak ning jah pe khai.
20 For what praise is due, if, when you are punished for your faults, you endure it patiently? But if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you endure it patiently, this is praiseworthy in the sight of God.
Nami mkhyenaka phäh mkhuimkhanak nami dunei üng, i ni nami yah. Cunüngpi, akdaw nami pawha phäh mkhuimkhanak nami dunei üng, Pamhnam naw dawkyanak ning jah pe khai.
21 To this, indeed, you have been called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his footsteps.
Ahina phäh ni Pamhnam naw a ning jah khü. Khritaw naw a khawleh üng nglehei lü ani üng nami ngcuhngkih vaia nami phäha khuikhanak khamki.
22 He did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth.
Ani cun naw ia mkhyenak pi am pawh. A mpyawng üng hlei a pyen pi u naw am ngja khawi.
23 When he was reviled, he did not revile again; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously.
Khyang he naw mdihmsui u lü pi, am jah mdihmsui be. Ami mkhuimkha üngpi, am jah mkyühmkyawk be. Ania äpeinak cun ngtäikia ngthumkhyahki Pamhnam üng taki.
24 He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his stripes you were healed.
Mkhyenak üng mi thi lü, ngsungpyunak üng mi xün vaia, mi mkhyenake Khritaw amät naw a pum üng phüi lü kutlamktunga a cehpüi ni. A nghmalem am yainak mi yahki.
25 For you were like sheep that had gone astray; but now you have returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
Toa mäiha lam nami hmüki cen, atuh ta ning jah msümceiki Toksäm ja nami ngmüimkhya ning jah Sämbänkia veia nami law beki.
