< 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.
Jisu Kristo laksuh nyia kaamwah Simoon Pitar jiin nawa— Arah le ah Rangte nyia Jisu Kristo kateng jun ih seng likhiik thaangchaan nyia tuumaangte loong suh:
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.
Rangte nyia Jisu Kristo mongtham jun ih minchan nyia semroongroong ah thoontang sen raangtaan ih toom ang ah.
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].
Thooroom ih songtong suh Rangte chaan aphaan nawa ih jirep ah koh hali, erah langla heh teewah rangka doh roongroop suh o ih poon hali erah seng mongtham jun ih kohali.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih, heh ih kakhamta jun ih elongthoon nyia thaangchaan ranglakkot ah emah ju kohali, tiimnge liidi arah mongrep dowa mithet haatte hansi ramka dowa arah lakkot jun ih pui an, eno Rangte banlam adoh jen roongroop an.
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).
Erah raangtaan ih sen loong tuumaang khotok doh ese ang theng; ese khotok doh mongtham eje ang theng;
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.
mongtham damdoh maama teewah jen sokboi theng; maama teewah jen sokboi damdoh jen naan etheng; jen naan ih han damdoh hebanlam ih Rangte angla likhiik ang theng;
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].
Rangte banlam likhiik damdoh Kristaan minchan eje ang theng; Kristaan minchan damdoh mongnook eje ang theng.
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.
Sen taangnah erah loong ah eje angjih, erah loong ah je taano juuba seng Teesu Jisu Kristo mongtham adoh kamkam ang an.
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.
Enoothong erah loong ah lajeeka bah, sen ih tah luitup kan ang ah eno sen rangdah ehak nawa saasiit tahan ah beehaat ehan.
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,
Joon awaan loong, erah raangtaan ih, Rangte ih poon tahan nyia danje tahan ah jat suh saarookwet ehan samthun an; emah re anbah, sen tuumaang mabah uh tathiinhaat kan.
11 and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios )
Emamah ang anno juuba, sen Teesu nyia sen Pangte Jisu Kristo Hasong roitang raangtaan jeela adoh jen nopwang suh kamkam ih epun elan. (aiōnios )
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.
Erah raangtaan ih, amiisak lampo sen ih chochaat tan ah naririh ih jen jat ih tanbah uh, arah tiit ah dopbaat dopbaat ih rumha.
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],
Nga mikthingthing doh, arah tiit loong ah sen suh baat suh ngah epun ih ang ngeh ih thun hang.
14 because I know that I shall die [EUP] soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ clearly has revealed to me.
Ngah ih jat ehang nga sakpuh etekjaat ah seek ih matsoon ah, erah tiit ah seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ih saasa ih baat tahang.
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].
Erah raangtaan ih, ngah tek lidoh erah tiit ah saarookwet dokthun thuksuh lam baatkot eseethoon ang ah.
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.
Seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ruurangrang kaat tiit baatti ah, seng mina ih dongsiit erah lekhiikkhiik tah angka. Heh rakkak ah seng mikmik ih tupti.
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.”
Hewah Rangte ih heh choomjota nyia heh rangka raksiitta adoh seng eje angti, eno erah tokdi Rangka Elongthoon jiin nawa mih jeng heh jiinni emah ra taha adi emah liita, “Arah nga mongnook Sah miimi, heh suh ngah eroon elang!”
18 We [(exc)] ourselves heard [God] [MTY] [say] that from heaven, when we were with [Christ] on that holy/sacred mountain.
Arah jengta root ah rangmong nawa jeng raaha ra sengseng ih japchaat wanti, erah pootdi heh damdi esa kong ni angti.
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].
Erah thoidi khowah loong ih baatta tiitkhaap asuh ehanhan laalomli. Erah tiit ah boichaat anbah ese ang ah, tiimnge liidoh erah tiit ah Rangkhano rang maang phaakwu di weetook phaak took koh ah likhik nyia sen ten nah rangkhah di woliit phaak arah likhiik ih phaak ah.
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),
Enoothong, jaakhothoon sen ih arah jat jaatjaat etheng Rangteele ni banbaatta ah Khowah loong ih nengneng ih tadong baatta.
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].
Tiimnge liidoh erah banbaat rumta tiitkhaap ah mabah uh mina tenthun nawa tah angka, erabah Rangte jiinawa ra taha eno erah baat tokdi mina loong ah Esa chiiala ih maak rumta.
