1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all slander,
Acunakyase, mkhyenak naküt, hleihlaknak naküt, ngsaihnak naküt, ngkeingkünak naküt ja pyenksenak mjüküm jah hawih ua.
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby to 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 indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good:
Cangcim naw a pyena kba, “Bawipa ihlawka akcanga dawki ti cun namimät naw nami cayah pängki.”
4 coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by God, precious.
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 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through 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 Because it is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
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 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
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 to stumble over, and a rock to trip over." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
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 race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous 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 once were not a people, but now are God's people, 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 Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents, to abstain from fleshly lusts, 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, 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 Subject yourselves to every human institution for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
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 vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
Akdaw pawhki mküiei lü akse pawhki kcet khaia Empero naw a jah mcawn mlüh ukea mtheh pi jah läklam ua.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
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 using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as slaves 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 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Khyang naküt leisawng ua, nami khritjanpüi mhläkphya na ua. Pamhnam kyüh lü Empero pi leisawng ua.
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
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 it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
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, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with 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 to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, 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 "committed no sin, nor was deceit 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 cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
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 on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds 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 going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer 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.
