1 Peter 5
1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Kei sangcim ngvai, Khritawa khuikhanak ka mik am hmu lü a ngdang law bea kcün üng hlüngtainak yah hnga khai naw nami ksunga sangcim ngvai jah nghui na veng.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Toksäm naw a toe a jah msümceia mäiha, nami msümcei vaia Pamhnam naw a ning jah pet cen jah msümcei ua. Msümcei vaia mta a nia phäh am ni lü, Pamhnam jesak khaia mlung am bi ua. Ngui yahnak hlüa mlung am käh nikia, Pamhnama phäh khut binak hlüa mlung kcang üng bi ua.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Nami jah msümceiea khana ngvai kawlaiha käh yäng u lü ami ning jah ngcuhngkihnak vaia ve ua.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Toksäm Ngvai säih a law be üng, a vainak käh khyük theikia hlüngtaikia lukhüm nami ngbung law khai.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Acuna kba ni, nangmi athawie naw akdämea mtheh ngja ua. Nami püia maa mlung mhnemnak ta ua. Cangcim naw, “A mlung dämki Pamhnam naw khyah lü, mlung mhnemki jäk ve” a ti.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Khyaihbahkia Pamhnama kut kea ve lü nami mlung mhnem ua. Amäta kcün a pha law üng, ning jah mhlünmtai khai.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Nami cäicing pyangmanak naküt Pamhnam üng ap ua. Isenitiüng, ani naw ning jah msümceiki ni.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Thüxak lü mceiei ua. Nami yepa Khawyai cun hengsiha kba huk lü a mjaw vai sui lü cit hüki.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Nami jumeinak am ngkhängcek lü ani cen sungkham ua. Isenitiüng, khawmdek khan abäng üng, nami khritjanpüi he pi nangmia khamei mäiha khuikhanak khameikie ti nami ksingki.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Acukba khuikhanak asäng nami khamei käna, Khritaw üng yümmatnak am angsäia a hlüngtainak yah hnga khaia ning jah khüki Pamhnama bäkhäknak naw ning jah kümceisak khai. Ning jah ngkhängpangsak lü ngjuktha ning jah pe khai. Acun käna, ngkhängkia ngleheinak am ning jah ngdüihsak khai. (aiōnios g166)
Johit cun angsäia ania kaa kyase. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
Ahina kca ktawica hin Tilah naw na kpüi se ka yuk law ni. Ani hin sitihkia mi khritjanpüia ka ngaiki. Ahin hin Pamhnama bäkhäknak akcang tia ka saksi lü ka ning jah mcuhmcäi hlüki. Acun üng ngkhängpang ua.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Pamhnam naw a khü hnga Babalunga veki sangcim naw pi ning jah hnukset ve. Ka ca Makuh naw pi ning jah hnukset ve.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Nami khritjanpüi mhläkphyanak am mat ja mat hnuksetei ua. Khritaw üng sängeiki naküta veia dimdeihnak ve se.
