according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 amak qeeng thai, amak plawci thai ingkaw amak zai thai qo ce nangmih aham khawk khan awh ta law hawh hy,
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 cangnaak awh Khawsa ing khawnghi a boet awh ak dang law hly kawi hulnaak a law hlan dy boeimangnaak ing cekkhqi ce hlip ak chung khqi hawh hy.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Tuh kyinaak soepkep awh kawlhkalh khuikha mai u tik seiawm vawh nangmih zeel uhyk ti.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
7 Vemyihkhqi taw sui anglakawh a phu ak tlo khqoet, sui taw mai ing a tui na ni hloei awh plawci thai hyn hy, nangmih ak cangnaak ak cak ce Jesu Khrih ang dang law awh zoeksangnaak ingkaw kqihchahnaak huhnaak aham ni a awm hy.
that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
8 Amah ce am hu hlai uhyk ti, lungna uhyk ti; tuh am hu u tik seiawm, cangna u tiksaw kqawn thai noeng am zeelnaak ing be uhyk ti,
whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
9 kawtih nangmih taw myihla hulnaak cangnaak hlahnaak ce hu kawm uk ti.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Vawhkaw hulnaak awh, nangmih a venawh ak law hly kawi qeennaak akawng ak kqawn tawnghakhqi ing ngaihtaak doena ana sui uhy,
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 a mingmih ak khuiawh ak awm Khrih Myihla ing Khrih ing a khuikha coengawh ak law hly kawi boeimangnaak akawng ak kqawn peek oepchoehnaak a tym ingkaw khawnghi ce ana sui uhy.
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
12 A mingmih ing a mimah a bi am bi unawh nangmih a bi ami binaak ce cawh a nang dang pe hawh hy, khan benna kawng tyih na ak awm Ciim Myihla ak caming nangmih a venawh awithang leek ak khypyikhqi ing nangmih a venawh a phawng lawnaak awi ce ni a mingmih ing ami nak kqawn hy.
To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Cedawngawh, bibi aham namik kawlungkhqi ce qoek abah lah uh; yhnaak ta law unawh taw; Jesu Khrih ang dang law awh nangmih a venawh peek na ak awm am qeennaak awh ngaih-unaak ce ta lah uh.
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14 Awi ak ngai cakhqi na nami awm dawngawh, ikaw awm am nami sim awh hy ngaihnaak amak leek awh nami awm amyihna koeh awm voel uh.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Nangmih anik khykhqikung taw a ciim amyihna, nangmih awm ik-oeih nami sainaak hoei awh ak ciim cana awm lah uh;
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behaviour,
16 Kai ka ciim dawngawh, nangmih awm ciim lah uh,” tinawh qee na awm hy.
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 U a haai awm a toek kaana awi ak dengkung Pa ce nami taak dawngawh, kqihchahnaak ing khin amyihna khaw sa lah uh.
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
18 Nami pakdamkhqi ing nangmih a venawh a ceh law taak ce ak plawci thai sui ingkaw tangka ingkaw a hqawng a h qap hqing hulnaak amni tice sim uhyk ti,
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 cehlai nangmih taw coet amak kap tuuca, Khrih a thi a phu ak tlo ing ni hul na nami awm hy.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
20 Anih cetaw khawmdek syn na a awm hlanawh ni tyk oepchoeh na a awm hawh hy, cehlai a tym a boet deng awh nangmih aham dang law hy.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
21 Anih ak caming amah ce thihnaak awhkawng thawh nawh ak zoeksangkung Khawsa ce cangna uhyk ti, cedawngawh nangmih ak cangnaak ingkaw ngaih-unaak taw Khawsa awh awm hy.
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Tuh taw awitak ngainaak ak caming na mimah ingkaw na mimah ciim hawh u tiksaw koeinaa lungnaak ta hawh uhyk ti. Pynoet ingkaw pynoet kawlung khuiawh lungnaak ak dung soeih ta hawh uhyk ti.
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
23 Nangmih taw thang tlaih hawh uhyk ti, ak plawci thai ak ui awhkawng am nawh amak plawci thai awhkawng ni, ak hqing ingkaw ak cak khawsak awi awhkawng ni nami thang tlaih hawh hy. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Ikawtih, Thlang boeih ve qam amyihna ni a awm, a boeimangnaak awm qam a pai amyihna ni a awm hy; qam taw reu nawh a pai awm zai hy,
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
