1 Peter 2

1 Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.

Tua ahikom ngualdang tung ah deisakna pha ngawl, theamna te, ki hi theamsak na te, hazatna te le ngensiatna te nusia vun a,

2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Nausen suaktung te bang in, na khan thei natu uh in, bangma a ki hel ngawl noaitui ahi, Pathian thu sia thangai tavun:

3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Topa sia a hesuak thei Topa a hihi, ci na tep zo uh hi.

4 As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

Mihing te in nilnam napi, Pathian in a teal, a nungta le a manpha suangpi bang ahi, Topa kung ah na pai uh a,

5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Note zong a nungta suangpi te bangma in a kisa thaa inn na hi uh hi, Jesus Christ tungtawn in Pathian tung ah a san thamman tha thu taw kisai biakpiakna pia tu in, a thiangtho thiampi te na hi uh hi.

6 For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

Tabang ahikom in laithiangtho sung a om thu sia, en vun, Zion ah a tealsa le a manpha inn bulpi a lianbel sia ka koi hi: Ama a um peuma a maizum batu uh hi.

7 To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

Tua ahikom a um note tung ah Ama sia vanglian hi: ahihang thu ni nuam ngawl te atu in, innsa te i a nilkhiat suang sia, inn bulpi a lianbel hong suak hi,

8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.

Taciang, thu nit ngawl hu in tua thu sia a puk te atu in lutu na suangtum le a liksak suangpi hi a, amate sia tua atu in a koikholsa a hihi.

9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Ahihang khuazing sungpan in a lamdang khuavak sung ah hongsam Pathian pokna te kilangsak tu in, note sia hongtealsa minam, kumpi nam thiampi, a tuanngen minam te na hi uh hi:

10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Nidang lai in Pathian mite na hi ngawl uh hang, tu in Ama mite na hi uh hi: nidang lai in Pathian i hesuakna na san ngawl uh hang, tu in na sang zo uh hi.

11 Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

Ka itte awng, thaa taw a ki langpan cilesa deina te pial tu in, peamta te le khualhaw te bang in kong thum hi;

12 Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

Gentile te in note sia napha ngawl seam te bang in hong son uh thu sia, Pathian i thukhenna ni ciang in na pha na sepna uh te mu tu uh a, Pathian min a thansak thei natu in amate mai ah na thuman nuntakzia uh kilangsak tavun.

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

Topa atu in kumpipa tung ah a sangbel bang ahizong;

14 or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

Ahibale hong uk te sia, na pha ngawl a seam te dan pia tu le na pha seam te a pok tu in kumpipa i sawltak bang in ahizong, mihing te i vawt thukham nuai ah om tavun.

15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

Banghangziam cile note i a pha na sepna uh hang in a mawmaw te bangma he ngawl pi in a pau te kam humsak tu sia Pathian deina a hihi:

16 Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Note a suakta te hi napi, na suatakna uh sia siatna phualsealna in zang heak vun, tua sang in Pathian sila te bang in nungta zaw vun.

17 Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

Mi theampo zakta vun. U le nau ki it vun. Pathian kita vun. Kumpipa zakta vun.

18 Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.

Naseam te awng, na to te thu sia zatakna taw ni vun; to pha le to nunneam te bek hi ngawl in, to sonhak te thu zong ngai vun.

19 For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

Banghangziam cile mi khat in Pathian tung ah a pha le a sia khentel theina atu in, a maan ngawlpi in khuangaina a thuak le, a poktak a hihi.

20 How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

Na mawna uh hang in ngual khut thaak na sia thinsau tak in na thuak uh ahile bang phatna om ziam? ahihang, phatna na vawt a, thinsautak in na thuak uh le, hi thu sia Pathian i santhei a hihi.

21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:

Hibang tu in hong kisam a hihi: banghangziam cile Christ zong eite atu in thuak a, ette in na zui tu uh a khawni te hong nusiat hi:

22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”

Ama in mawna bangma vawt ngawl hi, a kam ah theamna ki mu ngawl hi:

23 When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

A ki zawnsak ciang zong in zawnsak vawt kik ngawl hi; a thuak ciang zong in kuama thawmvau tuan ngawl hi; ahihang thumantak in thukhen pa thukhenna ah ama le ama ki ap hi:

24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

Ama tatak in i mawna te sia Ama pumpi vateak taw thing tung ah pua hi, tabang in eite mawna sung ah i thi a, thutang suana sung ah i nuntak natu a hihi: Ama liamma te hang in eite hong damsak zo hi.

25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Banghangziam cile note tuu bang in lam na pial zo uh hi; ahihang tu in na thaa uh hong keam tuucing pa kung ah na heakkik zo uh hi.
