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 Khritawa mpya ja ngsäa kyaki Sihmon Pita üngka naw, Mi Pamhnama ngsungpyunnak ja Küikyan Bawi Jesuh Khritawa phäh üng kami jumeinaka kba, jumeinak akü säih yahkiea veia;
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.
Pamhnam ja mi Bawipa Jesuh nami ksingnak am bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak cun nami khana bebang se.
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].
Amäta dawkyanak ja hlüngtainak üng ngpüi hnga khaia jah khüki Khritaw ksingnak üngkhyüh Pamhnam am akcanga hlimtui xünsei vaia, Pamhnama hlüngtaikia johit naw mi hlükaw naküt cun jah pe päng ve.
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.
Ahikba ni a bekhütnaka, aktäa dämduh lü aphu küiki suhe pi jah pe päng ve. Acuna suhea phäh nangmi cun hina khawmdek khana khyükleih cimpye be theiki mtisa hlükaw ksekhyu üngka naw lätlang lü Pamhnama ningsaw üng nami ngpüi hnga vaia phäh ni.
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).
Acuna phäh üng, nami jumnak cen nami dawkyanak am; nami dawkyanak cen nami ksingnak am;
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.
nami ksingnak cen nami mlung nängnak am; mlung nängnak cen duneinak am; duneinak cen Pamhnam üng hlimtuinak am;
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].
Pamhnam üng hlimtuinak cen Khritjana mhlämcehnak am; püi mhlämcehnak cen mhläkphyanak am jah msap lü ktha na ua.
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.
Ahin he ni nami jah hlü. Ahin he am nami kümbe üng, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw ksingnak da ning jah thühletsak lü amdanga käh kya khaia ning jah pitpyang khai.
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.
Ahin he am jah takia khyang naküt ta khawcäpa käh hmu lü, ahlana a mkhyenake jah mthih pet päng cen mhnih bekia khyanga kyaki.
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,
Acunakyase, ka benae aw, Pamhnama a ning jah khü ja a ning jah xünak üng nami ngkhängcek vaia, ahina kthaka ktha na ua. Acukba nami kthanak üng, itia pi nami jumeinak am hawih thei uki.
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)
Ahikba ani üng ni, mi Bawipa ja mi Küikyan Bawi Jesuh Khritawa angsäi Pea dokhamnak kümcei cun nami yah kawm. (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.
Ahin he hin nami jah ksing päng, nami yaha ngthutak üng ngkhängcek kyaw uki lüpi, aläse ka ning jah sümsak khai.
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],
Ka xünna küt üng, acunea mawngma ka ning jah sümsak lä hin cangkia pi ka ngaieiki.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw angsingtea a na mtheh pänga kyase, sängsäng se thi theikia hina pumsa hin ka hawih law khai tia pi ka ksingki.
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].
Ka thih käna pi, ka ning jah mthehe hin aläa nami jah süm vaia, ka khyaih khawha tuilam ka ning jah pyang pet khai.
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.
Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw hlüngtainak am a law be vaia mawng, nangmi üng ka ning jah mtheh hin khyanga mhnüna khuikame am ni. Kami mik am a hlüngtainak hmu lü kami pyenkie ni.
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.”
Akhlüngtai säih Dämduh säih üngkhyüh, “Ani ta keia mhläkphyanaka ka Ca ni” tia kthai am Pa Pamhnam naw leisawng mhlünmtaiki. Acuna kcün üng keimi pi acuia kami veki.
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Jesuh am atänga ngcingcaihkia mcunga kami ceh üng, khankhaw üngkhyüh lawkia acuna kthai cun kami ngjakie.
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].
Acunakyase, sahma he naw ami sanga ngthua khana mkhüh üpnak kami tak law däm dämkie. Acuna ngthu cen nghngatun u bä. Isenitiüng, Khaw am a thaihnak ham üng nghmüp kcäikia meiim ja, nami mlung k’uma vaiki thaihke am tängki ni.
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),
Acunsepi, Cangcim üng vekia malam pyennake cun keimi üngka u naw pi am pyen thei u ngü ti cun ksing ua.
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].
Sahmae naw ami pyena ngthu naküt cun nghngicim ngaih üngkhyüh tünei lawki am ni. Ngmüimkhya Ngcima tui mhnuh lam mthehnak naw ni Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia ngthu cun ami pyen.
