1 Peter 2
1 Now that you have done with all malice, all deceitfulness, insincerity, jealous feelings, and all back-biting,
Te dongah phayoenah boeih khaw, tuengkhuepnah neh thailatnah boeih khaw, uethnetnah neh olthaekaling boeih hnawt uh laeh.
2 like newly born infants, crave pure spiritual milk, so that you may be enabled by it to grow till you attain Salvation —
Cahni thangpaek rhoek bangla, mueihla suktui tang te ngaidam uh lah. Te daengah ni te nen te khangnah dongah na rhoeng uh eh.
3 since ‘you have found by experience that the Lord is kind.’
Boeipa tah kodam la na ten uh atah,
4 Come to him, then, as to a living stone, rejected, indeed, by men, but in God’s eyes choice and precious;
hlang loh a hnawt coeng ngawn dae Pathen taengah a khoelh la a coelh aka hing lungnu te paan uh.
5 and, as living stones, form yourselves into a spiritual House, to be a consecrated Priesthood, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Nangmih khaw aka hing lungto bangla a cim khosoih la om ham mueihla im te sa uh. Jesuh Khrih rhangneh Pathen taengah a uem la mueihla hmueih te khuen uh.
6 For there is a passage of Scripture that runs — ‘See, I am placing in Zion a choice and precious corner-stone; And he who believes in him shall have no cause for shame.’
Cacim khuiah a hulh coeng ta. Zion kah imkil lung te a khoelh la ka coelh tih ka tloeng ke. Te dongah anih soah aka pangtung tah yahpok loengloeng mahpawh.
7 It is to you, then, who believe in him that he is precious, but to those who do not believe he is ‘a stone which, though rejected by the builders, has now itself become the corner-stone,’
Te dongah aka tangnah nangmih tah hinyahnah om pai. Tedae hnalval rhoek aih, te lungto te aka sa loh rhoek hnawt cakhaw imkil lu la poeh. Te dongah caehkoek lung neh thangkui lungpang la poeh.
8 and ‘a stumbling-block, and a rock which shall prove a hindrance.’ They stumble because they do not accept the Message. This was the fate destined for them.
U khaw olka aka aek long tah a tongtah ham ni tekah te khaw a khueh.
9 But you are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, God’s own People,’ entrusted with the proclamation of the goodness of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful Light.
Tedae nangmih tah a coelh namtu, mangpa khosoih, namtu cim, dangnah dongkah pilnam ni. Te daengah ni yinnah lamkah nangmih te amah kah aka khuet vangnah khuila aka khue taengah boethen na tueng eh.
10 Once you were ‘not a people,’ but now you are ‘God’s People’; once you ‘had not found mercy,’ but now you ‘have found mercy.’
Hnukbuet kah a pilnam pawt te Pathen kah a pilnam la na om uh coeng. A rhen mueh te n'rhen coeng.
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as pilgrims and strangers upon earth, to refrain from indulging the cravings of your earthly nature, for they make war upon the soul.
Thintlo rhoek aw, te pumsa hoehhamnah te rhael ham yinlai neh lampah bangla nangmih kan hloep. Te tah hinglu dongkah vathoh banghui la om.
12 Let your daily life among the Gentiles be so upright, that, whenever they malign you as evil-doers, they may learn, as they watch, from the uprightness of your conduct, to praise God ‘at the time when he shall visit them.’
Nangmih kah omih te namtom taengah a then la khueh uh. Te daengah ni laihmu bangla nangmih n'yan vaengah khoboe then aka hmu rhoek loh hiphoelnah khohnin ah Pathen te a thangpom uh eh.
13 Submit to all human institutions for the Lord’s sake, alike to the emperor as the supreme authority,
Boeipa kongah tah suentae hlanghing boeih, tanglue manghai taengah khaw boengai uh.
14 and to governors as the men sent by him to punish evil-doers and to commend those who do right.
Laihmu te kutthungnah ham neh boethen te koehnah ham ni amah lamloh khoboei rhoek khaw a tueih.
15 For God’s will is this — that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.
Malkoelh-maldang hlang ang rhoek paa sak ham a thensai he Pathen kah kongaih tangloeng coeng ni.
16 Act as free men, yet not using your freedom as those do who make it a cloak for wickedness, but as Servants of God.
Te dongah poenghalnah he phayoenah kah muekdahnah la om boel saeh lamtah Pathen kah sal rhoek bangla aka loeih la omuh.
17 Show honour to every one, Love the Brotherhood, ‘revere God, honour the emperor.’
Hlang boeih te hinyah lah. Manuca te lungnah. Pathen te rhih uh lamtah manghai te hinyah uh.
18 Those of you who are domestic servants should always be submissive and respectful to their masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are arbitrary.
Imkhut rhoek, a cungkuem ah boengai uh lamtah boeikung te rhihnah khuehuh. Boethen neh kodo taeng bueng ah pawt tih vilvak rhoek taengah khaw birhih lah.
19 For this wins God’s approval when, because conscious of God’s presence, a man who is suffering unjustly bears his troubles patiently.
Pathen kah mingcimnah kongah khat khat loh kothaenah a yook tih a patang dahlawt atah te te lungvatnah la a om pah.
20 What credit can you claim when, after doing wrong, you take your punishment for it patiently? But, on the other hand, if, after doing right, you take your sufferings patiently, that does win the approval of God.
Na tholh tih m'phop vaengah na ueh uh koinih balae a uem eh? Tedae a then tih patang na ueh uh koinih ta, te ni Pathen taengah lungvatnah aka om.
21 For it was to this that you were called! For Christ, too, suffered — on your behalf — and left you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
Khrih khaw nangmih ham a patang dongah ni te ham te n'khue. A kholaeh te rhoih hamla nangmih kah awtkoi la a khueh coeng.
22 He ‘never sinned, nor was anything deceitful ever heard from his lips.’
Anih tah tholhnah khaw saii pawt tih a ka dongah tuengkhuepnah khaw phoe pawh.
23 He was abused, but he did not answer with abuse; he suffered, but he did not threaten; he entrusted himself to him whose judgments are just.
Ol aka bai te thuung pawh. A patang vaengah hihham pawh. Tedae laitloek aka tiktam vik te a voeih uh.
24 And he ‘himself carried our sins’ in his own body to the cross, so that we might die to our sins, and live for righteousness. ‘His bruising was your healing.’
Amah loh mamih kah tholhnah te thing dongkah amah pum dongah a khuen coeng. Te daengah ni tholhnah dongah aka duek loh duengnah dongah n'hing uh eh. Amah kah boengha lamloh na hoeih uh coeng.
25 Once you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Tu bangla na om uh dongah na taengphael uh. Tedae tudawn neh na hinglu hiphoelkung taengla na bal uh coeng.
