1 Peter 2
1 Te dongah phayoenah boeih khaw, tuengkhuepnah neh thailatnah boeih khaw, uethnetnah neh olthaekaling boeih hnawt uh laeh.
Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 Cahni thangpaek rhoek bangla, mueihla suktui tang te ngaidam uh lah. Te daengah ni te nen te khangnah dongah na rhoeng uh eh.
as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 Boeipa tah kodam la na ten uh atah,
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 hlang loh a hnawt coeng ngawn dae Pathen taengah a khoelh la a coelh aka hing lungnu te paan uh.
Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 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.
You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
6 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.
Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 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.
For you who believe therefore is the honour, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 U khaw olka aka aek long tah a tongtah ham ni tekah te khaw a khueh.
and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offence.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
9 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.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
10 Hnukbuet kah a pilnam pawt te Pathen kah a pilnam la na om uh coeng. A rhen mueh te n'rhen coeng.
In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Thintlo rhoek aw, te pumsa hoehhamnah te rhael ham yinlai neh lampah bangla nangmih kan hloep. Te tah hinglu dongkah vathoh banghui la om.
Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12 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.
having good behaviour amongst the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Boeipa kongah tah suentae hlanghing boeih, tanglue manghai taengah khaw boengai uh.
Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
14 Laihmu te kutthungnah ham neh boethen te koehnah ham ni amah lamloh khoboei rhoek khaw a tueih.
or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Malkoelh-maldang hlang ang rhoek paa sak ham a thensai he Pathen kah kongaih tangloeng coeng ni.
For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Te dongah poenghalnah he phayoenah kah muekdahnah la om boel saeh lamtah Pathen kah sal rhoek bangla aka loeih la omuh.
Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Hlang boeih te hinyah lah. Manuca te lungnah. Pathen te rhih uh lamtah manghai te hinyah uh.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 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.
Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Pathen kah mingcimnah kongah khat khat loh kothaenah a yook tih a patang dahlawt atah te te lungvatnah la a om pah.
For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience towards God.
20 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.
For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 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.
For you were called to this, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 Anih tah tholhnah khaw saii pawt tih a ka dongah tuengkhuepnah khaw phoe pawh.
who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23 Ol aka bai te thuung pawh. A patang vaengah hihham pawh. Tedae laitloek aka tiktam vik te a voeih uh.
When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
24 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.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
25 Tu bangla na om uh dongah na taengphael uh. Tedae tudawn neh na hinglu hiphoelkung taengla na bal uh coeng.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
