1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm, Piter ing, Khawsa thlak tyk, khawmdek awh khin na ak awm, Ponta qam, Galatia qam, Kapadokia qam, Asia qam ingkaw Bithunia qam awh a thek a zak na ak awm,
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Pa Khawsa ing sim oepchoeh nawh, Ciim Myihla ing a ciim saknaak ak caming, Jesu Khrih ak awi ngai nawh a thi ing syp aham ak tyh oepchoehkhqi venawh: Qeennaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak khawzah na awm seh.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih a Pa Khawsa venawh kyihcahnaak awm seh! Am qeennaak ak bau soeih ak caming ak hqing ngaih-unaak awh thihnaak awhkawng Jesu Khrih a thawh tlaihnaak ak caming ningnih ce ni thang sak khqi hawh hy,
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
amak qeeng thai, amak plawci thai ingkaw amak zai thai qo ce nangmih aham khawk khan awh ta law hawh hy,
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
cangnaak awh Khawsa ing khawnghi a boet awh ak dang law hly kawi hulnaak a law hlan dy boeimangnaak ing cekkhqi ce hlip ak chung khqi hawh hy.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
Tuh kyinaak soepkep awh kawlhkalh khuikha mai u tik seiawm vawh nangmih zeel uhyk ti.
7 so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Vemyihkhqi taw sui anglakawh a phu ak tlo khqoet, sui taw mai ing a tui na ni hloei awh plawci thai hyn hy, nangmih ak cangnaak ak cak ce Jesu Khrih ang dang law awh zoeksangnaak ingkaw kqihchahnaak huhnaak aham ni a awm hy.
8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
Amah ce am hu hlai uhyk ti, lungna uhyk ti; tuh am hu u tik seiawm, cangna u tiksaw kqawn thai noeng am zeelnaak ing be uhyk ti,
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
kawtih nangmih taw myihla hulnaak cangnaak hlahnaak ce hu kawm uk ti.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
Vawhkaw hulnaak awh, nangmih a venawh ak law hly kawi qeennaak akawng ak kqawn tawnghakhqi ing ngaihtaak doena ana sui uhy,
11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
a mingmih ak khuiawh ak awm Khrih Myihla ing Khrih ing a khuikha coengawh ak law hly kawi boeimangnaak akawng ak kqawn peek oepchoehnaak a tym ingkaw khawnghi ce ana sui uhy.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
A mingmih ing a mimah a bi am bi unawh nangmih a bi ami binaak ce cawh a nang dang pe hawh hy, khan benna kawng tyih na ak awm Ciim Myihla ak caming nangmih a venawh awithang leek ak khypyikhqi ing nangmih a venawh a phawng lawnaak awi ce ni a mingmih ing ami nak kqawn hy.
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Cedawngawh, bibi aham namik kawlungkhqi ce qoek abah lah uh; yhnaak ta law unawh taw; Jesu Khrih ang dang law awh nangmih a venawh peek na ak awm am qeennaak awh ngaih-unaak ce ta lah uh.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Awi ak ngai cakhqi na nami awm dawngawh, ikaw awm am nami sim awh hy ngaihnaak amak leek awh nami awm amyihna koeh awm voel uh.
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
Nangmih anik khykhqikung taw a ciim amyihna, nangmih awm ik-oeih nami sainaak hoei awh ak ciim cana awm lah uh;
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Kai ka ciim dawngawh, nangmih awm ciim lah uh,” tinawh qee na awm hy.
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
U a haai awm a toek kaana awi ak dengkung Pa ce nami taak dawngawh, kqihchahnaak ing khin amyihna khaw sa lah uh.
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
Nami pakdamkhqi ing nangmih a venawh a ceh law taak ce ak plawci thai sui ingkaw tangka ingkaw a hqawng a h qap hqing hulnaak amni tice sim uhyk ti,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
cehlai nangmih taw coet amak kap tuuca, Khrih a thi a phu ak tlo ing ni hul na nami awm hy.
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Anih cetaw khawmdek syn na a awm hlanawh ni tyk oepchoeh na a awm hawh hy, cehlai a tym a boet deng awh nangmih aham dang law hy.
21 Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
Anih ak caming amah ce thihnaak awhkawng thawh nawh ak zoeksangkung Khawsa ce cangna uhyk ti, cedawngawh nangmih ak cangnaak ingkaw ngaih-unaak taw Khawsa awh awm hy.
22 Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
Tuh taw awitak ngainaak ak caming na mimah ingkaw na mimah ciim hawh u tiksaw koeinaa lungnaak ta hawh uhyk ti. Pynoet ingkaw pynoet kawlung khuiawh lungnaak ak dung soeih ta hawh uhyk ti.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
Nangmih taw thang tlaih hawh uhyk ti, ak plawci thai ak ui awhkawng am nawh amak plawci thai awhkawng ni, ak hqing ingkaw ak cak khawsak awi awhkawng ni nami thang tlaih hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
Ikawtih, Thlang boeih ve qam amyihna ni a awm, a boeimangnaak awm qam a pai amyihna ni a awm hy; qam taw reu nawh a pai awm zai hy,
