2 Peter 1
1 I, Simon Peter, [am writing this letter to you. I] serve Jesus Christ, and am an apostle [appointed by] him. [I am sending this letter to you] whom God has caused to believe [in Christ] just like he [caused us(exc) apostles to believe in Christ]. You and we have (equally been given the/both been given the same) privilege of believing in Jesus Christ. He [is] God, he is righteous, he is the one whom we [worship], and he is our Savior.
Jesuh Khrih kah sal neh caeltueih Simon Peter loh, tangnah dongah mamih kah Pathen neh khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah duengnah, mamih neh vantlip la aka yo rhoek taengah kan yaak sak.
2 [I pray that God] will continue to act very kindly towards you, and give you (a deep/very much) [inner] peace, because you [truly] know God and Jesus, who is our Lord.
Nangmih Lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah Pathen neh mamih boeipa Jesuh mingnah lamloh nangmih taengah ping saeh.
3 [God] [PRS] has given us everything [that we need] in order that we might receive [eternal] life and in order that we might [live] (in a godly way/in a way that pleases him). He gives us that by the power that he has because he is God, and he has also given it to us as a result of our knowing him. He is the wonderful and perfect one who chose us [to be his people].
Amah thaomnah Pathen kah a tarhing ah hingnah neh hingcimnah ham, a thangpomnah neh boethen dongah mamih aka khue te mingnah lamloh, mamih taengah a cungkuem m'paek coeng.
4 Being [glorious and perfect], he has promised us [that he will do] very great and (priceless/very precious) things [for us]. [He has also promised] you that by [believing what he has promised] you will be able to act [righteously], just like God acts [righteously], and that you will be free from being morally depraved/corrupted, and that you will not be [like] those who do not believe in Christ and are morally depraved because of their desire to do things that are evil.
Te lamlong ni a phu aka tlo tih aka lenkoek olkhueh te mamih m'paek. Te daengah ni he rhoek lamloh Pathen kah a coengnah kah a pueipo, Diklai hoehhamnah dongkah hmawnnah neh na loeih la na om eh.
5 Because God has done all that, by trying very hard, make sure that you not only believe [in Christ], but that you are also living morally good lives. And make sure that you are not only living morally good lives, but that you also know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely).
He dongah thahluenah te boeih rhoih uh. Khoboethen te na tangnah neh, mingnah te khoboethen neh,
6 And make sure that you not only know [what God desires] (OR, behave wisely), but that you also control what you say and do. And make sure that you not only control what you say and do, but that you are also steadfast/patient. And make sure that you are not only (steadfast/patient when you suffer), but that you are also godly.
mingnah te kuemsuemnah neh, kuemsuemnah te uehnah neh, uehnah te hingcimnah neh,
7 And make sure that you not only (are godly/live in a way that pleases God), but that you also have a concern for your fellow believers, as brothers and sisters [ought to have] for each other. And make sure that you not only have a concern for your fellow believers, but that you also love [others].
hingcimnah te khaw manuca lungnah neh, manuca lungnah te khaw lungnah neh thap uh.
8 If you do these [things], and if [you do them] more and more, that demonstrates that knowing our Lord Jesus Christ (is very effective/produces good results) [LIT] in your lives.
He rhoek tah nangmih ah om tih a pungtai dongah mamih boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah mingnah dongah palyal pawt tih a tlongtlai n'khueh moenih.
9 If these [qualities] are not present in people, it means they are not aware [that these things are important, just like a blind person is not aware of what is around him]. They [think only about earthly matters, just like] [MET] a shortsighted person [sees clearly only things that are near]. It seems that they have forgotten that God has forgiven them for their former sinful lives.
He rhoek neh aka om pawt te tah mikdael la om tih a hmuh toi. A tholh dingrhae vaengkah cimcaihnah te hnilhnah a khueh.
10 Instead of [acting like those people], try to confirm/prove by the way you conduct your lives that you are among those whom [God] has chosen [DOU] to be his people. If you do that, you will certainly never become separated from God,
Te dongah, manuca rhoek, nangmih kah khuenah neh tueknah te saii hamla khangmai la haam uh lah. Te te aka saii tah vaikhat khaw na paloe loengloeng mahpawh.
11 and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
Te daengah ni mamih Boeipa neh Khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah dungyan ram la kunnah te nangmih ham kodam la han thap eh. (aiōnios g166)
12 I intend to keep on reminding you very frequently [HYP] about these [matters], even though you [already] know them and are firmly convinced that they are true.
Te dongah hekah a kawng he na ming uh tih, oltak dongah na om uh te cawt duel cakhaw nangmih te a thoelh ham ka cai taitu.
13 I consider it right that I should help you [to continually think about these matters] by reminding you [about them] as long as I am alive [EUP],
Tahae kah rhaehim ah ka om khuiah thoelhnah neh nangmih haeng ham te khaw dueng tila ka poek.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih long pataeng kai taengah a thuicaih vanbangla kai kah rhaehim a capitnah tah om pawn ni tila ka ming.
15 Moreover, I will (make every effort/try hard) [by writing these things down] to enable you to remember them at all times after I have died [EUP].
Tedae kai te ka sunglatnah hnukah he he nangmih taengah poekkoepnah khueh sak taitu ham khaw ka haam.
16 We [apostles] told you that our Lord Jesus Christ [acts] powerfully and that he is coming back [some day]. We were not basing [what we told you] on stories that we had cleverly (invented/made up). Instead, we told you what we ourselves saw with our own eyes, that [the] Lord Jesus is supremely great.
Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah thaomnah neh a lonah te cil la ka phueng uh tih ka vai dongah nangmih taengah kam phoe uh moenih. Tedae a lennah te aka hmukung rhoek la ka om uh ta.
17 God, our Father, greatly honored him when God’s great glory/brightness surrounded him, and God [MTY] said, “This is my Son, whom I love very much; I am very pleased with him.”
Pa Pathen taeng lamkah hinyahnah neh thangpomnah a doe vaengah tebang aka khuet thangpomnah lamloh, “Kamah capa tah kamah thintlo pai ni he, a soah kai ka lungtlun,” tila anih taengah ol hang khuen.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Tlang cim ah amah neh ka om uh vaengah vaan lamkah hekah ol he hang khuen tih, kaimih long khaw ka yaak uh.
19 We also have [the Scriptures] that the prophets [wrote about Christ long ago], which are completely reliable/trustworthy. You should (pay attention to/think carefully about) [what they wrote], because [what they wrote enables you to know whether what is taught to you is true or whether it is false] [SIM], like a lamp that is shining in a dark place [enables people to see where they are going] [SIM]. [You should] ([pay attention to/think carefully about]) [what they wrote] until [our Lord Jesus Christ comes back and enables] you [SYN] [to know God fully, which will be like when] [MET] (a day dawns/daylight comes) and the morning star rises [and we can see it clearly].
Te phoeiah tonghma ol te khaw khangmai la ka khueh uh. Tekah te nangmih thinko ah khothai tih thuipa a thoeng duela tikhut hmuen ah aka vang hmaiim bangla ngaithuen uh lamtah balh saii uh.
20 It is important that you realize that no one can interpret/explain by himself [the meaning of] what the prophets wrote [in the Scriptures] without [the help of God’s Spirit] (OR, no [part of the] Scriptures originated with the prophet himself),
He he lamhma la ming uh. Cacim kah tonghma ol boeih tah amah la thuicaihnah a om moenih.
21 because no human beings decided [to make those prophecies]. On the contrary, those who spoke [messages from God] did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do [it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning].
Tonghma ol tah hlang kongaih lamloh hang khuen noek moenih. Tedae Mueihla Cim kah a mawt rhangneh Pathen taengkah ni hlang loh a phong.
