1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners of the dispersion, the chosen ones, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, 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 This is according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace be to you, and may your peace increase.
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 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth to a living hope 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 This is for an inheritance that will not perish, will not become stained, and will not fade away. It is reserved in heaven for you.
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 You are protected by God's power through faith, for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last times.
Acun he cun: akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng mdan vaia küikyannak, Pamhnama johit am ami jumeinak üngkhyüh jah thupa khyangea phäh jah tak pet ni.
6 You are very glad about this, even though it is now necessary for you to feel sadness in many different troubles.
Acuna phäh nami jekyaikie. Cunüngpi, khuikhanak mjüküm nami khameia phäh atuh hin asängca nami pukset vai hlü taw khai.
7 This is for the proving of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire. This happens so that your faith will be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revealing 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 You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now, but you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.
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 You are now receiving for yourselves the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Isenitiüng ta, ani nami jumeinak üng nami büa nami ngmüimkhya küikyannak nami yaha phäh ni.
10 The prophets searched and inquired carefully about this salvation, about the grace that would be yours.
Pamhnam naw ahina küikyannak a ning jah pet vai cun sahma he naw angsingtea mcek lü suihjap lü ana pyen pängki he.
11 They searched to know about whom and when the Spirit of Christ in them was speaking to them. This was happening as he was telling them in advance about the sufferings of Christ and the glorious things after that.
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 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told to you by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which 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 So gird up the loins of your mind. Be sober. Put your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
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 As obedient children, do not conform yourselves to the desires that you followed when you were ignorant.
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 as the one who called you is holy, you, too, be holy in your whole behavior.
Acuna kthaka ta, ning jah khükia Pamhnam a ngcingcaih mäih kunga kba nami bilawh naküt üng ngcingcaih lü ve ua.
16 For it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Cangcim üng, “Kei ka ngcingcaihkia kyase ngcingcaih ua” ti lü a pyen.
17 So if you call “Father” the one who judges impartially and according to each person's work, go through the time of your journey in reverence.
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 You know that it was not with perishable silver or gold that you have been redeemed from the foolish behavior that you learned from your fathers.
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 Instead, you have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, who was like a lamb without blemish or spot.
Ia mkhyenak käh ve lü am lembawikia toca am tängki Khritaw thisen küi am ning jah thawngkhyah cun ksing ua.
20 Christ was chosen before the foundation of the world, but now he has been revealed to you in these last times.
Khawmdeka am a ngtüi ham üngkhyüh ani cun Pamhnam naw a xü päng ni. Ahina akpäihnaka khawmhnüpe üng, nami phäha ngdang lawki.
21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be 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 You made your souls pure by obedience to the truth. This was for the purpose of sincere brotherly love; so love one another earnestly from the heart.
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 You have been born again, not from perishable seed, but from imperishable seed, through the living and remaining word of 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 flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the wild flower of the grass. The grass dries up, and the flower falls off,
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,
