¹Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹Simon Peter, Jesu Kris sikha leh sawltakin, Jesu Kris i Pathian leh Hondampa diktatna jiaka ginna mantam tak i tan bang tang samte kiagah:

²Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

²Pathian leh i Toupa Jesu Kris theihna ah na tunguah hehpihna leh lemna hihkhanin om hen.

³According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

³Amah thupina leh hoihna jiaka honsampa, a tanchin theih jiakin a Pathian thilhihtheihnain hinna leh Pathianlimsak na lam thuah thil tengteng a honpe ngala.

⁴Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

⁴Huaite jiakin a thuchiam manpha tak leh thupi petpette tuh honpia ahi; huchiin utna jiaka khovela siatna hongom tuh taikhiak santa in; huai thuchiam manpha tak leh thupi petpette jiakin Pathian omdan na kikoppih thei sam ding uhi.

⁵And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

⁵A hi, huai jiak takin, thanop himhim suahin, na ginna uah hoihna hel unla, na hoihna uah theihna hel unla,

⁶And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

⁶na theihna uah kidekna hel unla, na kidekna uah kuhkalna hel unla, na kukhalna uah Pathianlimsakna hel unla,

⁷And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

⁷na Pathianlimsakna uah unaute itna hel unla, na unaute itna uah itna hel un.

⁸For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸Huaite noua a hiha, a khanjel ngalleh, i Toupa Jesu Kris theihna lamah thadah lou leh gah loulouin nou a honbawl nak hi.

⁹But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

⁹Kuapeuh huai thilte neilou tuh mittaw ahi, naichik ate kia a mu theia, a nidanglai khelhnate silsiang sakna tuh a mangngilhta ngala.

¹⁰Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

¹⁰Huaijiakin, unaute aw, nou a honsapna leh a hontelna hihkip dingin thanop suah semsem un; tuate na hih uleh chiklai mahin na puk kei ding uhi;

¹¹For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹¹huchiin, Jesu Kris i Toupa leh Hondampa khantawn gama lutna a honmu sak lo mahmah ding uhi.

¹²Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

¹²Huaijiakin, huai thilte theiin, thutak na kiang ua om na kipna uah, huai thilte tuh nou hontheihpih dingin ka mansa gige ding hi.

¹³Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

¹³Huan, hiai pumpi-a ka om laiteng noumau hontheihpihin hontohhalh gige hoih ka sa ahi;

¹⁴Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

¹⁴i Toupa Jesu Krisin hontheihsak bangin kapumpi koih mangna ding a tung zok ding chih ka thei ngala.

¹⁵Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

¹⁵A hi, ka pai khiak nungin huai thilte na theihgige theihna ding un, ka kisuk ding hi.

¹⁶For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¹⁶I Toupa Jesu Kris thilhihtheihna leh a hongpai na thu ka hontheihsak laiun, tangthu pil taka ngaihtuah khiak phet juite ka hi kei ua, a thupina mute ka hi jaw uhi.

¹⁷For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁷Aman tuh Pa Pathian kiangah kipanin pahtawina leh thupina a mu a, huchihlaiin thupina thupitak akipanin hichibang aw a kiang a hongtung, Hiai ka tapa deihtak, ka kipahna mahmah ahi, chiin.

¹⁸And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

¹⁸Huan, tang siangthoua a kianga ka om jiak un huai aw tuh van akipana hong suak koumau ngeiin ka ja uhi.

¹⁹We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

¹⁹Huchiin genkholhna thu kip nawn sem i nei uhi. Khua a hongvaka, jingsolaksi tuh na lungtang ua a hongsuah masiah hiai thu khawnvak mun miala vak a limsak bang ua, na limsak uleh na hih hoih ding uhi,

²⁰Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

²⁰Laisiangthoua thu gen kholh himhim eimah kihilhchian ding ahi kei chih thei masa phot unlaThu genkholh himhim mihing thua pawt ahi ngei ngal keia, miten Kha Siangthou sawlin, Pathian kianga kipanin a gen zo nak uhi.

²¹For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

²¹Thu genkholh himhim mihing thua pawt ahi ngei ngal keia, miten Kha Siangthou sawlin, Pathian kianga kipanin a gen zo nak uhi.
