1 Peter 5
1 As for the older ones among you, who are elders in the church, I, their fellow elder, and a witness to the sufferings of the Christ, who will also share in the glory that is to be revealed –
Christ thuakna te i tetti le hong kilang tu minthanna zong a neipui keima zong upa ka hi hu in note sung ah upa te kong hanthawn hi:
2 I beg you to be true shepherds of the flock of God among you, not because you are compelled, but of your own free will; not from a base love of gain, but with a ready spirit;
Note sung ah a om Pathian tuuhon te vak vun a, a kul hamtang hang hi ngawl in deisakna taw ahizong; a thiangtho ngawl duhopna hang hi ngawl in, thinsung ki ngingkhol in en tavun;
3 not as lords of your charges, but as examples to your flock.
Pathian i neisa tung ah to te bang in uk heak vun, ahihang tuuhon te ettetak in om zaw vun.
4 Then, when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades.
Taciang tuucing lianbel hong kilang ciang in, a vul thei ngawl minthanna kham lukhu na sang tu uh hi.
5 Again, you younger ones should show deference to the older. And all of you should put on the badge of humility in mutual service, for “God is opposed to the proud, but gives his help to the humble.”
Tabangma in, no khangno te in khangham te thu ni vun. Na vekpi in khat le khat thu ki ni tavun, taciang ki niamkhiakna sil vun: banghangziam cile Pathian in a ki phasak te nalh a, a ki niamkhiak te thuthiamna pia hi.
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in his good time,
Tua ahikom Pathian i a thahat khut nuai ah noma le noma ki niamkhiak vun a, a hun a cin ciang in Ama in hong lamsang tu hi:
7 laying all your anxieties on him, for he makes you his care.
Ama in note hong thintoi ahikom in; note i thinngimna theampo sia Ama tung ah ap siat vun.
8 Exercise self-control, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about, eager to devour you.
Pilvang vun, kidawm in ngak vun; banghangziam cile na ngalpa uh doaimangpa sia a hawk vabam tawpi bang in akua lopval tu khi ziam, ci zong in vak hi:
9 Stand firm against him, strong in your faith; knowing, as you do, that the sufferings which you are undergoing are being endured to the full by the Lord’s followers throughout the world.
Leitung ngam tatuam ah na suapui uh te zong tabangma haksatna thuak hi, ci sia phawk in upna sung ah kip in doaimangpa nalh tavun.
10 God, from whom all help comes, and who called you, by your union with Christ, into his eternal glory, will, when you have suffered for a little while, himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
Christ Jesus tungtawn in eite tawntung minthanna sung ah hongsam, thuthiamna theampo i Pathian in tawmvei haksatna na thuak zawk uh ciang in, hong cialcingsak in hong khosak tu a, tha hong hatsak in hong kipsak tu hi. (aiōnios g166)
Vangletna le ukzawkna sia a tawntung in Ama tung ah om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 I have been writing to you briefly by the hand of Silas, our true-hearted friend (for so I regard him), to encourage you, and to bear my testimony that in what I have written is to be found the true love of God. On that take your stand.
Keima in note kong hanthotna, na dinmun uh sia Pathian i thuthiamna tatak hi, ci sia tettipang in hi lai a tomno in kong thak sia a thuman suapui Silvanus tung ah kong thak hi.
13 Your sister church in “Babylon” sends you greeting, and so does Mark, who is as a son to me.
Babylon a om pawlpi, note taw hong kiteal khawm te in hong paupui hi; taciang ka tapa Marcus in zong hong paupui hi.
14 Greet one another with the kiss of love. May God give his peace to you all in your union with Christ.
Itna i kinapna taw khat le khat ki nukset tavun. Christ Jesus sung ah a om note theampo tung ah thinnopna hong om tahen. Amen.
