1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Jesu Kri mah patoeh ih kami maeto ah kaom Piter mah, Pontius, Kalati, Cappadocia, Asia hoi Bithinia ah kaproeng kaminawk khaeah ca tarik,
2 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.
Ampa Sithaw ih panoek coekhaih hoiah qoih ih kami, Muithla rang hoiah ciimcaihaih hnu kami, tanghaih tawnh pongah Jesu Kri ih athii hoiah pasaeh ih kami, nangcae khaeah tahmenhaih hoi monghaih to om nasoe.
3 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,
Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri, Ampa Sithaw khae hoi tahamhoihaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe, kathuk a palungnathaih hoiah aicae hae a capa ah tapen let boeh moe, Jesu Kri duekhaih thung hoi angthawk lethaih rang hoiah kahing oephaih to paek let boeh.
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
Nangcae hanah kahmawn thai ai, kamhnong thai ai, kazaem thai ai qawk to van ah suek coek boeh,
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
tanghaih rang hoiah pahlonghaih to hnuk moe, hnukkhuem niah amtuengsak hanah to toep hankoi qawk loe Sithaw thacakhaih mah toep.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
Vaihi atue setta thung angaihaih baktiah, congca pacuekhaih hoi hmuenzit to na phawh o, toe thuilaek ai anghoehaih hoiah khosah oh:
7 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 honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
tanghaih kacak na tawnh o maw, tawn ai, tiah tanoekhaih loe anghma thai koi kaom sui pongah doeh atho oh kue, hmai hoiah tanoek cadoeh, Jesu Kri amtueng naah loe pakoehhaih, khingyahaih hoi lensawkhaihnawk to na hnu o tih:
8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
Anih to na hnu o ai, toe na palung o; vaihi Anih to na hnu o ai cadoeh, na tang o pongah thuilaek ai lensawkhaih hoi anghoehaih hoiah na oh o:
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
hnukkhuem ah tanghaih hoiah kaom nangmacae pakhra pahlonghaih to na hnu o tih.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
To pahlonghaih to panoek han koeh o pongah, tahmaanawk mah loktangta hoiah pakrong o moe, nangcae khae kaom hankoi tahmenhaih kawng to a thuih o.
11 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.
Kri patangkhang moe, duek pacoengah kaom hankoi lensawkhaih to Anih mah thuih coek naah, nihcae thungah kaom Kri ih Muithla mah thuih koehhaih loe mi maw, to tih ai boeh loe kawbaktih atue maw a thuih koeh haih, tito panoek hanah nihcae mah pakrong o.
12 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.
Nihcae loe angmacae hanah toksah o ai, aicae hanah ni tok ang sak pae o, tito amtueng boeh; van hoiah patoeh ih Kacai Muithla rang hoiah nangcae khaeah tamthanglok hoih taphong kaminawk mah, to hmuennawk to nangcae khaeah vaihi ang thuih o boeh. Vankaminawk mah mataeng doeh to hmuennawk to panoek han koeh o moe, pakrong o.
13 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—
To pongah na poek o haih to kaengkaeh baktiah kacakah angzaeng oh loe, poek cai oh, Jesu Kri amtueng naah nangcae khaeah paek hankoi kaom tahmenhaih nuiah oephaih to suem oh;
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
lok tahngai kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, canghniah taksa koehhaih baktiah poekhaih tawn ai ah kho na sak o haih baktiah om o let hma lai ah:
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
nang kakawk Anih loe ciimcai baktih toengah, nangcae doeh na sak o ih hmuennawk boih ah ciimcai oh;
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Kai ciimcai pongah, nangcae doeh ciimcai oh, tiah tarik ih oh.
17 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,
Sithaw loe kami mikhmai to khen ai, tok a sak ih baktih toengah kami boih to lok a caek, Anih to Pa, tiah na kawk o nahaeloe, hae long nuiah angvin ah na oh o nathung, Anih zithaih hoiah khosah oh.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Na panoek o baktih toengah, nangcae loe kahmawn thaih hmuen ah kaom sui hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe sum kanglung hoiah maw akrang ai, nangmacae ampanawk khae hoiah na hnuk o ih atawk, tidoeh avang ai khosakhaih thung hoiah ni Sithaw mah ang krang o;
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
toe coek hankoi kaom ai, kasae thuih hankoi kaom ai tuuca ah kaom, atho kana Kri ih athii hoiah ni ang krang o:
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
Anih loe long ohhaih ahmuen om ai nathuem hoi boeh ni tok to paekcoek boeh, toe Anih loe atue boeng naah ni nangcae khaeah amtueng vop,
21 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.
Anih rang hoiah ni Sithaw na tang o, Sithaw mah duekhaih thung hoiah anih to pathawk moe, anih han lensawkhaih to paek; to pongah nangcae tanghaih hoi oephaih loe Sithaw ah ni oh.
22 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,
Loktang lok tahngaihaih rang hoiah ni pakhra to na ciim o sak, to pongah Muithla rang hoiah tangtang nawkamya amlunghaih to amtueng o sak ah loe, poek ciimhaih hoiah maeto hoi maeto amlung oh.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and remaining word of God.
Kanghmaa thaih atii hoiah na ai ah, anghmaa thai ai atii, kahing moe, dungzan ah kacak, Sithaw lok hoiah na tapen o let boeh. (aiōn g165)
24 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;
Taksa boih loe phroh baktiah ni oh, phroh loe azaem moe, apawk doeh angmuen, kami lensawkhaih boih loe phroh apawk baktiah ni oh.
