< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
Kai Piter, Jisuh Khrih e guncei lah kaawm e ni maimae Cathut hoi rungngangkung Jisuh Khrih lannae lahoi kaimouh patetlah aphu kaawm yuemnae katawnnaw koe ca na patawn awh.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Cathut hoi maimae Bawipa Jisuh panuenae, lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koevah pungdaw lawiseh.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
Ama e bawilennae hoi ahawinae thungvah na ka kaw e Bawipa hah, maimouh ni panuenae lahoi Bawipa dawk kaawm e bawilennae teh hringnae hoi cungtalah Cathut lawk dawk khosaknae pueng teh maimouh koe na poe toe.
4 Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Hottelahoi, ka lentoe niteh aphukaawm e lawkkamnaw hah maimouh koe na poe toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote lawkkamnaw hno lahoi nangmanaw ni talaivan takngainae dawk hoi na hlout awh vaiteh, Cathut coungnae kahmawng e tami lah na o awh nahane doeh.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
Hettelah kecu dawkvah nangmae yuemnae dawkvah hawinae, hawinae dawkvah lungangnae, lungangnae dawkvah mahoima kâcakuepnae,
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
mahoima kâcakuepnae dawkvah lungsawnae, lungsawnae dawkvah Cathut lawk dawk khosaknae,
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
Cathut lawk dawk khosaknae dawkvah hmaunawngha lungkâpatawnae, hmaunawngha lungkâpatawnae dawkvah lungpatawnae hah thahmei lahoi patuen kâthap sin awh.
8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete talen heh nangmouh dawk ao vaiteh pungdaw pawiteh, Bawipa Jisuh Khrih panuenae dawk aphu kaawm e tami, a paw kapaw e tami lah o awh han.
9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Hote talen ka tawn hoeh e taminaw teh, a mit ka dawn e lah ao. Yon thoungsak lah ao tangcoungnae hah a pahnim awh.
10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh kawnae hoi rawinae hoe acak nahanelah, hoe panki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hottelah na sak nah thungvah nâtuek hai lam na payon awh mahoeh.
11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
Hothloilah, maimae Bawipa hoi rungngangkung Jisuh Khrih e yungyoe uknaeram thungvah, kâen thainae kâ kakueplah na hmu awh han. (aiōnios )
12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
Hatdawkvah, nangmanaw ni hete akongnaw hah na panue awh teh nangmouh koe kaawm e lawkkatang dawk kacaklah na o awh eiteh, hotnaw hoi kâkuen lah nangmanaw pou na hroecoe hanelah pouknae ka tawn.
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
Hete ka tak rim dawk ka o nah yunglam teh hottelah kâhroecoenae lahoi nangmanaw na kâhlaw sak hanelah ka pouk.
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih ni kai koe a pâpho e patetlah ka tak rim heh palang ka rading han toe tie ka panue.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
Het talaivan hoi ka tâco hnukkhu hoi hai hete akongnaw pou na panue awh nahanelah ka panki han.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh teh maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e bahu hoi a tho nahane nangmouh koe ka pâpho awh e hah dumyennae lairuipakong hoi ka pâpho awh hoeh. Kaimouh teh Bawipa amae lentoenae hah kamamouh roeroe ni ka hmu awh toe.
17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Pa Cathut koehoi e barinae hoi bawilennae teh Bawipa ni a pang e lah hmu navah, ka talue poung e bawilennae thung hoiyah, ahni teh kai ni ka lungpataw e ka Capa doeh, ahni dawk ka lung akuep tie lawk hah Bawipa koe hoi a daw.
18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
Kaimanaw teh kathoungpounge mon dawk Bawipa hoi rei ka o awh navah kalvan hoi ka tho e hote lawk teh ka thai awh.
19 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Hothloilah, maimouh koe hoe Kacake profet lawknaw hai ao. Nangmae lungthin thungvah khodai teh, amom tempalo a tâco ditouh hote lawk teh hmonae koe ka ang e hmaiim patetlah na pouk awh hanelah ao.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
Cakathoung dawk kaawm e sutdeilawknaw pueng teh, tami buet touh ni amae a ngainae lahoi a pâpho e nahoeh tie hmaloe panue hanlah a o.
21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nâtuek hai sutdeilawk teh tami ngainae lahoi ka tâcawt e nahoeh. Kathoung Muitha hroecoenae ka coe pueng niteh, Cathut koehoi ka tho e lawk kapâphokung lah doeh ao awh.
