¹Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

¹Peter, Jesu Kris sawltak in, Ponto gamte Galatia gamte, Kappadosia gamte, Asia gamte, Bithinia gamte a dalh-te,

²according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

²thumang ding leh Jesu Kris sisan theh tang ding a Kha hihtuam, Pa Pathian theihkholh bang a telte kiang ah: Na tunguah hehpihna leh lemna hihkhanin omhen.

³Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

³I Toupa Jesu Kris Pathian leh Pa tuh phatin om hen, Aman tuh a hehpihna thupi tak bang jelin, misi lak akipan Jesu Kris thohnawnna jiakin lametna hing mu dingin a honsuang nawna,

⁴unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

⁴goutan sethei lou, nin bang lou, tul theilou, vana noua dinga sit muhna dingin;

⁵who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁵hotdamna, hun nanunga lang dinga zohsa mu dingin, ginna jiakin Pathian thilhihtheihnaa ven na hi uhi.

⁶Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,

⁶Huaiah nakpi takin na kipak uhi, tuin (a kiphatmoh leh) khemna chiteng jiakin lungkham tadih mahle uchin;

⁷that the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

⁷na ginna uh zeetna, dangkaeng meia zeet nung nangawna mangthang jel sanga manpha jaw, Jesu Kris kilak chiangin phatna leh pahtawina leh thupina ding a honghih theihna ding in.

⁸whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

⁸Mu ngeilou piin leng amah na it ua, tuin mu kei mahle uchin leng, amah na gingta ua, kipahna gen tuan theih louh leh thupitakin na kipak mahmah jel uhi;

⁹receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.

⁹na gintak pen uh, na kha uh hotdamna tak, muin.

¹⁰Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto you:

¹⁰Huai hotdamna thu tuh huai jawlneite hehpihna na kiang ua hongtung ding thu genkholten, a Kankan ua, siamnel takin a zong khia ua:

¹¹searching what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

¹¹Kris kha amaua omin Kris thuakna ding leh, huaizoha thupina honjui dingte a theihkholh sak laiin, bang hun ahia, bangchibang hun ahia, a theihsak chih zonkhiak tum in.

¹²To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angel desire to look into.

¹²Huai thuin amau nasep kisep louin, noumau nasep a sem jaw uh chih a kiang uah theihsak ahita, huai thute tuh van akipana sawlkhiak Kha Siangthou panpih in tanchinhoih nou honhilhten tuin a honhilh ua, huai thilte tuh angelten leng vel a ut uhi.

¹³Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

¹³Huajiakin na lungsim puan uh tengin pilvang unla, Jesu Kris kilak chiangin hehpihna nou a honpuak ding tak lungke lou in lamen jel un;

¹⁴as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] your ignorance:

¹⁴ta thumangte bangin, na theihlouh lai ua na nidang lai duhgawlna uh banga omlou in;

¹⁵but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

¹⁵nou honsampa a siangthou bangin nou leng na tatdan tengteng uah hong siangthou jaw un;

¹⁶because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

¹⁶Noute na siangthou ding uh ahi, kei ka siangthou ngala, chih gelh ahi.

¹⁷And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

¹⁷Huan, khentuam neiloua michih nasep bang chiata ngaihtuahpa tuh Pa banga na loh uleh, hiailaia na tam laiteng un laudansiam in om un;

¹⁸knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

¹⁸na pipute uh piaksawn, na awmdan uh bangmah hilou khawng a kipan, thil sethei, dangka leh dangkaeng a tat na hikei ua,

¹⁹but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:

¹⁹Belamnou gensiatbei leh ninbanglou sisan bang a, Kris sisan pha a tat nahi zaw uh chih nathei ngalua;

²⁰who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of times for your sake,

²⁰Amahtuh leilung pianma in sehkhawlh in a om ngeitak a, himahleh, hun nanungte ah noumau ziakin kilak in a om hi;

²¹who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

²¹Amahziakin misilak akipan kaithoupa leh a thuipina pepa Pathian gingtate na hi uhi, na ginna uhleh na lametna uh Pathian a aom theihna ding in.

²²Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:

²²Unaute it taktak dinga thutak juia na kha uh na hihsiangthou tak jiak un lungtanga phatuamngai takin kiit tuah chiat un;

²³having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

²³chi sethei lakah hi louin, Pathian thu hing gige leh om gige ah, chi se theilou laka piang thak na hi zaw ngal ua.

²⁴For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:

²⁴Mi tengteng tuh loupa bang ahi ua, a thupina tengteng uleng loupa pak bang ahi. Loupa tuh a vuaia, a paka pulha,Toupa bel khantawnin a om gige ahi, chih ahi ngala. Huaituh ahi, tanchin hoih thu nou a honhilh uh.

²⁵But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.

²⁵Toupa bel khantawnin a om gige ahi, chih ahi ngala. Huaituh ahi, tanchin hoih thu nou a honhilh uh.
