1 Peter 2
1 Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.
Nangmouh teh Bawipa Cathut e lungmanae na patek toung dawkvah,
2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
Utsinnae cawngca, dumyennae, tami kahawi lah kâsaknae, kâhmuhmanae, kâpathoenae pueng pahnawt awh nateh, rungngang nahanelah muitha sanutui katang hoi roung hanelah,
3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
camosen patetlah hote sanutui hah ngainae hoi kahran awh haw.
4 As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,
Taminaw ni a pahnawt awh teh Cathut ni a rawi e hringnae talung tie hote Bawipa koe pha teh,
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.
kahring e talungnaw patetlah patuenpatuen pacoung teh sak e muitha koe lae im lah o awh. Jisuh Khrih lahoi Cathut ni a ngai e thuengnae ka sak hane kathounge vaihma miphun lah o awh.
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.”
Cakathoung dawk a thut e patetlah rawi e im takinlung aphu kaawm e hah Zion mon dawk ka ta. Hote talung ka kâuep e naw pueng teh kayanae tawn mahoeh telah ati.
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,”
Hatdawkvah hote talung teh kayuemnaw hanelah a lentoenae lah ao. Kayuemhoehnaw hanelah teh im kasaknaw ni a pahnawt a eiteh im tungkhu takin koe ka phat e talung lah ao.
8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
A lawk kangâihoehnaw hanelah teh hote talung teh tâlawnae talung hoi payonnae lungsong lah ao. Hottelah ao nahanelah ahnimouh teh a rawi e lah ao.
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.
Nangmouh teh a hmonae koehoi kângairu angnae dawk na kakawkung Amae pholennae kamnue sak hanelah rawi e miphun lah na o awh. Siangpahrang vaihma miphun, kathounge miphun, Cathut e miphun katang lah na o awh.
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.
Yampa vah nangmouh teh Cathut e miphun lah na awm awh hoeh. Atuteh Cathut e miphun lah na o awh. Yampa vah a lungmanae na coe awh hoeh eiteh atuteh na coe awh toe.
11 Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.
Ka lungpataw e taminaw, nangmouh teh imyin lah na o awh teh Muitha ka taran e takthai radueknae hah roun hanelah na hroecoe awh.
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.
Jentelnaw e rahak vah khet kamcu lah khosak awh. Hottelah kho na sak awh pawiteh ahnimouh ni nangmouh teh yon ka sak e tami lah na dei nakunghai nangmae hnokahawi na sak e naw a hmu toteh, Cathut hmalah Bawipa e bawilennae teh a pholen awh han.
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
Bawipa e minhmai khet laihoi ka lentoe poung e siangpahrang nakunghai thoseh, tami kahawi oup hanelah thoseh,
14 or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
Siangpahrang ni a rawi e kâ katawnnaw thoseh, taminaw koe khokhangkung bawinaw e hrawinae lawk ngâi awh.
15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh ni hnokahawi na sak e lahoi tami pathunaw e pathunae lawk rakhip thai nahanelah Cathut ngainae lah ao.
16 Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
Tami kahloutnaw patetlah hring awh. Hatei hote hloutnae hah kahawihoeh sak nahanelah hno laipalah Cathut e a san patetlah kâroe awh.
17 Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
Tami pueng hah bari awh. Hmaunawngha hah lungpataw awh. Cathut hah taket awh. Siangpahrang hah bari awh.
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.
Sannaw, takinae lahoi na Bawipa e hrawinae ngai awh. Bawi teh lungthin kahawi hoi lungdonae ka tawn nakunghai thoseh, a lungthin ka muenyang e hai thoseh, a lawk ngâi pouh awh.
19 For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.
Cathut e minhmai khet laihoi kathuem hoeh e rektapnae na khang nakunghai yawhawinae ao.
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.
Ma e yon kecu dawk hemnae khang boipawiteh bangmaw oup hane kawi kaawm. Hnokahawi na sak nahlangva vah, rucatnae na khang pawiteh Cathut koe yawhawinae ao.
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot patetlah hane doeh nangmouh teh kaw lah na o awh teh, Khrih ni mamouh hanelah a khang teh, a khokhnuk dawn vaiteh khetsin hane kawi mitnoutnae na ta pouh toe.
22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
Hote Bawipa teh yonnae sak hoeh, apâhni dawk hai laithoe awmhoeh.
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.
Pathoenae a khang navah, bout pathung hoeh. Rucatnae a khang na haiyah pakhi laipalah, kalan lah lawkcengkung koe amahoima a kâhnawng toe.
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.”
Maimouh teh yon hoi ka kâkuen e naw koe lah due awh teh lannae koelah na hring sak hanelah maimae yonnae hah ama roeroe ni a tak thung thing dawk a sin toe. A hemnae hmâtannaw dawk hoi nangmouh teh na dam awh toe.
25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Nangmouh teh lam ka phen e tu patetlah na o awh. Atuteh Tukhoumkung lah kaawm e, nangmae lungthin muitha kakhenyawnkung, Bawi koe bout na pha awh toe.
