¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

¹Huchiin gitlouhna tengteng, zekhemna tengteng, lepchiahna tengteng, hajatna tengteng, gensiatna teng teng tawpsan unla.

²as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

²naungek suak thakte bangin khalam nawitui bangmah toh hel louh lunggulh un, huaia hotdamna muh donga na khan theihna ding un.

³if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

³Toupa tuh mi hehpihthei tak ahi chih na chiam khin thamta uhi.

⁴unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,

⁴Amah tuh suang hing, mihingte deihlouh ngei, Pathian theih a bel tel leh manpha ahi.

⁵ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁵Amah kiang a hongpaiin, noute leng suang hingte bangin khalam in a leptouhin na om ua, Jesu Kris jiakin Pathian kipahlam kithoihna lan dingin siampu siangthoute hong hi dingin.

⁶Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

⁶Huajiakin, laisiangthou ah, Ngai un, Zion ah a ninga suang kiphamohpen, tel manpha tak ka lem hi; amah gingtate tuh a zahlak kei ding uh, chih a tuang ahi.

⁷For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

⁷Huchiin, nou a gingtate adingin manpha pi ahi, agingta loute adingin bel, In lamte suang deih louhpen, huai mahmah a ninga suang phatuampen a honghita.

⁸and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

⁸Pukna suang leh dalna suangpi toh, Thu tuh a jui kei ua, a kisui puk naknak ngal ua; huchibanga hih dinga seh ahi namah ua.

⁹But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God's] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

⁹Himahleh, mial akipan pawta, vak lamdang taka lut dinga nou honsampa hoihna tuh na muhsak theihna ding un, nou jaw chi tel, kumpi siampute, nam siangthou, Pathian mite ngei na hi ngal ua;

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰nidanglaiin nam himhim na hi kei ua; tun jaw Pathian namte na hita uhi; nidang laiin zahngaihna namukei ua, tun jaw zahngaihna na muta uhi.

¹¹Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;

¹¹Deih mahmahte aw, mikhual leh khualzin nahih ziakun kha dou naknakpa sa utnate tawpsan dingin nou kahon ngen hi;

¹²having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹²Jentelte lak a na tatdan uh kilawmtak hihen, huchiin thil hihkhialte bang a, a hon gensiatna lam uah na thil hihhoih uh amuhte uh jiakin veha a om chiang un Pathian a pahtawi thei ding uhi.

¹³Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹³Toupa jiakin mihing dan bawl peuhmah ah lut un; tungnunga om kumpipa kiang ah hiam,

¹⁴or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.

¹⁴thil hihkhialte tung a thuk ding leh, thil; hihhoihte phat ding a sawlsawn gam upate kiang ah leng.

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Hiaituh Pathian deihlam ahi ngala, mihaite haina tuh thil hoih hih in na hih dai ding uhi;

¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁶nuamlen na hi ua, himahleh na noplenna uh khelhna khuhna ding a zanglou in, Pathian sikha a omna dingin zangzaw un.

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁷Mi tengteng pahtawi un. Unaute it un; Pathian laudan siam un. Kumpipa tuh pahtawi un.

¹⁸Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

¹⁸Sikhate aw, laudan siam in nou hon heute thuthu in om un mihoih leh mi nunnem te lakkia hilou in, migiloute lak ah leng.

¹⁹For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.

¹⁹Min Pathian theihna ziakin thuaklouh dingding thuak in lungkhamna a thuak teitei leh; tuabang Pathian pahtak lam ahi ngala.

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²⁰Nou na khelh ua, khut khak na thuak un, kuhkal takin thuak mahleuchin leng phatna bang naloh ua? Ahihangin thil na hihhoih ua, na thuak ua, kuhkal taka nathuak uleh, huai tuh Pathian kipahpih lam ahi.

²¹For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²¹Kris mah inleng nou a hon thuaksak jiakin, tuabang hih ding a sap na hi uhi; a khap a na juihna ding un juih ding a hon nutsiat ahi.

²²who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²²Aman tuh thil himhim a hihkhial kei a, a kam ah zekhemna leng a om sam kei;

²³who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:

²³mi koua a om laiin, akou thuk kei a, a thuak lai in a vau kei hi; diktat taka ngaihtuah pa kiang ah akipe zaw hi.

²⁴who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

²⁴Khelhna lama sikhin a diktatna lama ihin theihna ding in amahmah in tua sing ah asa in ikhelhnate a pua hi; amah vuakna golhte ah hihdam in na omta uhi.Belam mang bangin na mang ua, tun zaw nou hon chingpa leh heupa kiang ah na kik nawnta uhi.

²⁵For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

²⁵Belam mang bangin na mang ua, tun zaw nou hon chingpa leh heupa kiang ah na kik nawnta uhi.
