1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
Acunakyase, mkhyenak naküt, hleihlaknak naküt, ngsaihnak naküt, ngkeingkünak naküt ja pyenksenak mjüküm jah hawih ua.
2 As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
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 so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
Cangcim naw a pyena kba, “Bawipa ihlawka akcanga dawki ti cun namimät naw nami cayah pängki.”
4 Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
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 Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 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 Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
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 therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made 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 scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
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 generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous 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 in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained 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 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal 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 Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, 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 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
Khyang nghngicima ana naküt Bawipaa ngminga phäh jah läklam ua. Ana ak’hlüng säih taki Emperoa pyen läklam ua.
14 Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
Akdaw pawhki mküiei lü akse pawhki kcet khaia Empero naw a jah mcawn mlüh ukea mtheh pi jah läklam ua.
15 For so is the will of God, that by doing well 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 free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the 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 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour 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 fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
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 thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
Pamhnama hlüei nami dangyaha phäh am khamei vai sükyaw nami khamei üng, acuna phäh Pamhnam naw dawkyanak ning jah pe khai.
20 For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before 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 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
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 Who did no sin, neither 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 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
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 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose 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 as sheep going astray; but you are now converted 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.
