1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
Jesuh Khritawa ngsä Pita üngkhyüha, Pontas hne, Kalatih hne, Kappadokih hne, Asah hne ja Bithuniha hnee üng pekce khyanga kba ngpyeng lü ve hükie, Pamhnama sakhyangea veia.
2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the setting apart of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Jesuh Khritaw läklam lü a thisen am ning jah ngcimsak se, a Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am khyang ngcima ning jah pyang lü Pa Pamhnama hlüeia a ning jah xü pänga nami kyaki. Bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak cun nami khana hläipyam lü ve se.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has given us another birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
Jesuh Khritaw thihnak üngkhyüh a mthawh bea phäh, a mpyeneinak dämduh lü sak kthai ja xüngseikia äpeinak a jah pet ni. Acuna phäh mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pa ja a Pamhnam hin mi mhlünmtai vai u.
4 into an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance, already reserved in the heavens for you,
Pamhnam naw a khyanga phäh a jah cüm peta dawkyanak kümcei cun kanak khaia ma da kami tengki. Ani naw acune cun käh thuuih cimpye khyükhleih thei khaia khankhawa a ning jah tak pet ni.
5 who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Acun he cun: akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng mdan vaia küikyannak, Pamhnama johit am ami jumeinak üngkhyüh jah thupa khyangea phäh jah tak pet ni.
6 You should be overjoyed about this, even if just now, briefly, of necessity, you have been distressed by a variety of trials,
Acuna phäh nami jekyaikie. Cunüngpi, khuikhanak mjüküm nami khameia phäh atuh hin asängca nami pukset vai hlü taw khai.
7 so that the demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
Acun cun nami jumeinak hin cangki aw tia ami mhnütnak hlüa phäh ni. Pyüpye theikia xüi pi mei üng mhnüta kyaki. Acuna kthaka daw bawk lü am pyüpye theikia nami jumeinak pi mhnüt yah vai. Acunüng Jesuh Khritaw a law bea Mhnüp üng hlüngtainak, mhlünmtainak ja leisawngnak nami yah khai.
8 —whom not having understood you love, into whom believing (not yet seeing) you exult with joy inexpressible, already glorified,
Ani cun am hmu khawi kyaw uki lüpi, nami mhläkphyanaki. Atuh hin am hmu kyaw uki lüpi, nami jumeiki. Mpyawng üng am pyen theia jekyainak k’hlüngtai am nami jekyaiki.
9 obtaining for yourselves the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Isenitiüng ta, ani nami jumeinak üng nami büa nami ngmüimkhya küikyannak nami yaha phäh ni.
10 Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently,
Pamhnam naw ahina küikyannak a ning jah pet vai cun sahma he naw angsingtea mcek lü suihjap lü ana pyen pängki he.
11 investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them.
Khritawa Ngmüimkhya cun ami k’uma ve lü Khritawa khamei vaia khuikhanaka suilam ja hlüngtainak a yah vai cun jah mhnüh lü ana pyenki. Acunakyase, Khritaw cun ihawkba law be khai, itia law be khai ti cun suihjapkie.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.
Pamhnam naw sahma he naw ami khut bi cen amimäta phäh am ni. Nangmia phäh ni tia khankhaw üngka naw jah tüih lawa ngsäe, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima johit am Thangkdaw sangkie, naw ami pyen cen nami ngjakie. Ahina mawnge ni khankhawngsäe naw pi ngjakkya vai ami ngaih.
13 Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Acunakyase, khut bi am nami mdan vaia nami mlung pitpyang ua. Jesuh Khritaw a ngdang law be üng, ning jah pet vai dawkyanaka khana nami äpeinak kümcei cun ta lü thüxak lü a na ngcüngcei ua.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance,
Pamhnama ngthu läklam ua. Mawngcei lü nami ve ham üng, am dawkyakia nami xüngseia mäiha, nami xünsak käh ning jah up be ti kawm.
15 but just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your way of life,
Acuna kthaka ta, ning jah khükia Pamhnam a ngcingcaih mäih kunga kba nami bilawh naküt üng ngcingcaih lü ve ua.
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Cangcim üng, “Kei ka ngcingcaihkia kyase ngcingcaih ua” ti lü a pyen.
17 Also, since you invoke as Father the One who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourn here in fear,
Hmai käh teng lü khyang naküt a pawha kba angteha ngthu mtaiki Pamhnama veia nami ktaiyü üng, ka Pa nami tiki. Acunakyase, khawmdek khana nami xün k’um üng ani leisawng lü ve ua.
18 knowing that it was not with perishable things (silver or gold) that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down by your forefathers,
Nami pupa üngkhyüh ia käh ngtähkia xüngseinak üngka naw ning jah thawngkhyah ni. Pyüpye lü khyükhleih theikia ngui xüi am ning jah thawng am ni.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a faultless and pure lamb;
Ia mkhyenak käh ve lü am lembawikia toca am tängki Khritaw thisen küi am ning jah thawngkhyah cun ksing ua.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
Khawmdeka am a ngtüi ham üngkhyüh ani cun Pamhnam naw a xü päng ni. Ahina akpäihnaka khawmhnüpe üng, nami phäha ngdang lawki.
21 who through Him are believing into God, who raised Him out from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are into God.
Thihnak üngkhyüh mtho be lü hlüngtainak ani üng peki Pamhnam cun ani üngkhyüh nami jumeikia kyase, nami jumeinak ja äpeinak cun Pamhnam üng nami taki.
22 Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart,
Atuh ta ngthungtak nami läklamnak üng namimät ngcingcaihsakei ve uki. Acunakyase, nami khritjanpüi mhläkphyanak ja, mat ja mat mlung kcang naküt am mhläkphya na ua.
23 having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. (aiōn g165)
Pyüpye theiki am ni lü, käh pyüpye theikia mci ui, angsäia xüng lü mäkia Pamhnama ngthu am nami hmi be pängki ni. (aiōn g165)
24 For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man's glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord's word endures forever.”
Cangcim naw, Khyang nghngicim naküt cun msaia kba ni, ami hlüngtainake pi mawa ka khyeipai hea kba ni; Msai cun ngjai lü, khyeipai pi kyüki ni,
