1 Peter 1
1 To the People of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
Jesuh Khritawa ngsä Pita üngkhyüha, Pontas hne, Kalatih hne, Kappadokih hne, Asah hne ja Bithuniha hnee üng pekce khyanga kba ngpyeng lü ve hükie, Pamhnama sakhyangea veia.
2 and who were chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the consecration of the Spirit, to learn obedience, and to be purified by the sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ, from Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ. May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure.
Jesuh Khritaw läklam lü a thisen am ning jah ngcimsak se, a Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am khyang ngcima ning jah pyang lü Pa Pamhnama hlüeia a ning jah xü pänga nami kyaki. Bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak cun nami khana hläipyam lü ve se.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, in his great mercy, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Jesuh Khritaw thihnak üngkhyüh a mthawh bea phäh, a mpyeneinak dämduh lü sak kthai ja xüngseikia äpeinak a jah pet ni. Acuna phäh mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa Pa ja a Pamhnam hin mi mhlünmtai vai u.
4 given us the new Life of undying hope, that promises an inheritance, imperishable, stainless, unfading, which has been reserved for you in Heaven —
Pamhnam naw a khyanga phäh a jah cüm peta dawkyanak kümcei cun kanak khaia ma da kami tengki. Ani naw acune cun käh thuuih cimpye khyükhleih thei khaia khankhawa a ning jah tak pet ni.
5 for you who, through faith, are being guarded by the power of God, awaiting a Salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last days.
Acun he cun: akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng mdan vaia küikyannak, Pamhnama johit am ami jumeinak üngkhyüh jah thupa khyangea phäh jah tak pet ni.
6 At the thought of this you are full of exultation, though (if it has been necessary) you have suffered for the moment somewhat from various trials;
Acuna phäh nami jekyaikie. Cunüngpi, khuikhanak mjüküm nami khameia phäh atuh hin asängca nami pukset vai hlü taw khai.
7 that the genuineness of your faith — a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire — may win praise and glory and honour at the Appearing of Jesus Christ.
Acun cun nami jumeinak hin cangki aw tia ami mhnütnak hlüa phäh ni. Pyüpye theikia xüi pi mei üng mhnüta kyaki. Acuna kthaka daw bawk lü am pyüpye theikia nami jumeinak pi mhnüt yah vai. Acunüng Jesuh Khritaw a law bea Mhnüp üng hlüngtainak, mhlünmtainak ja leisawngnak nami yah khai.
8 Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words,
Ani cun am hmu khawi kyaw uki lüpi, nami mhläkphyanaki. Atuh hin am hmu kyaw uki lüpi, nami jumeiki. Mpyawng üng am pyen theia jekyainak k’hlüngtai am nami jekyaiki.
9 as you receive the reward of your faith in the Salvation of your souls!
Isenitiüng ta, ani nami jumeinak üng nami büa nami ngmüimkhya küikyannak nami yaha phäh ni.
10 It was this Salvation that the Prophets, who spoke long ago of the blessing intended for you, sought, and strove to comprehend;
Pamhnam naw ahina küikyannak a ning jah pet vai cun sahma he naw angsingtea mcek lü suihjap lü ana pyen pängki he.
11 as they strove to discern what that time could be, to which the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when foretelling the sufferings that would befall Christ, and the glories that would follow.
Khritawa Ngmüimkhya cun ami k’uma ve lü Khritawa khamei vaia khuikhanaka suilam ja hlüngtainak a yah vai cun jah mhnüh lü ana pyenki. Acunakyase, Khritaw cun ihawkba law be khai, itia law be khai ti cun suihjapkie.
12 And it was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were acting as Ministers of the truths which have now been told to you, by those who, with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, have brought you the Good News — truths into which even angels long to look.
Pamhnam naw sahma he naw ami khut bi cen amimäta phäh am ni. Nangmia phäh ni tia khankhaw üngka naw jah tüih lawa ngsäe, Ngmüimkhya Ngcima johit am Thangkdaw sangkie, naw ami pyen cen nami ngjakie. Ahina mawnge ni khankhawngsäe naw pi ngjakkya vai ami ngaih.
13 Therefore concentrate your minds, with the strictest self-control, and fix your hopes on the blessing that is coming for you at the Appearing of Jesus Christ.
Acunakyase, khut bi am nami mdan vaia nami mlung pitpyang ua. Jesuh Khritaw a ngdang law be üng, ning jah pet vai dawkyanaka khana nami äpeinak kümcei cun ta lü thüxak lü a na ngcüngcei ua.
14 Be like obedient children; do not let your lives be shaped by the passions which once swayed you in the days of your ignorance,
Pamhnama ngthu läklam ua. Mawngcei lü nami ve ham üng, am dawkyakia nami xüngseia mäiha, nami xünsak käh ning jah up be ti kawm.
15 but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your Call.
Acuna kthaka ta, ning jah khükia Pamhnam a ngcingcaih mäih kunga kba nami bilawh naküt üng ngcingcaih lü ve ua.
16 For Scripture says — ‘You shall be holy, because I am holy.’
Cangcim üng, “Kei ka ngcingcaihkia kyase ngcingcaih ua” ti lü a pyen.
17 And since you call upon him as ‘Father,’ who judges every one impartially by what he has done, let reverence be the spirit of your lives during the time of your stay upon earth.
Hmai käh teng lü khyang naküt a pawha kba angteha ngthu mtaiki Pamhnama veia nami ktaiyü üng, ka Pa nami tiki. Acunakyase, khawmdek khana nami xün k’um üng ani leisawng lü ve ua.
18 For you know that it was not by perishable things, such as silver and gold, that you were Ransomed from the aimless way of living which was handed down to you from your ancestors,
Nami pupa üngkhyüh ia käh ngtähkia xüngseinak üngka naw ning jah thawngkhyah ni. Pyüpye lü khyükhleih theikia ngui xüi am ning jah thawng am ni.
19 but by precious blood, as it were of a lamb, unblemished and spotless, the Blood of Christ.
Ia mkhyenak käh ve lü am lembawikia toca am tängki Khritaw thisen küi am ning jah thawngkhyah cun ksing ua.
20 Destined for this before the beginning of the world, he has been revealed in these last days for your sakes,
Khawmdeka am a ngtüi ham üngkhyüh ani cun Pamhnam naw a xü päng ni. Ahina akpäihnaka khawmhnüpe üng, nami phäha ngdang lawki.
21 who, through him, are faithful to God who raised him from the dead and gave him honour, so that your faith and hope are now in God.
Thihnak üngkhyüh mtho be lü hlüngtainak ani üng peki Pamhnam cun ani üngkhyüh nami jumeikia kyase, nami jumeinak ja äpeinak cun Pamhnam üng nami taki.
22 Now that, by your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine brotherly affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;
Atuh ta ngthungtak nami läklamnak üng namimät ngcingcaihsakei ve uki. Acunakyase, nami khritjanpüi mhläkphyanak ja, mat ja mat mlung kcang naküt am mhläkphya na ua.
23 since your new Life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the Message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
Pyüpye theiki am ni lü, käh pyüpye theikia mci ui, angsäia xüng lü mäkia Pamhnama ngthu am nami hmi be pängki ni. (aiōn g165)
24 For — ‘All earthly life is but as grass, and all its splendour as the flower of grass. The grass fades, its flower falls,
Cangcim naw, Khyang nghngicim naküt cun msaia kba ni, ami hlüngtainake pi mawa ka khyeipai hea kba ni; Msai cun ngjai lü, khyeipai pi kyüki ni,
