¹Himahleh, mite lakah jawlnei takloute leng a hongpawt ua, huchibangin na lak uah leng heute takloute a hongom ding uh, amau tuh, amaute leipa Toupa hilhial tawpsanin mi hihsethei gintuamte a gukin a honlut pih ding ua, amau tungah thakhatin manthatna a tungsak ding uhi.

¹But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

²Huan, mi tampiin a jautatna lam thil uh a honching teisam ding ua, amau jiakin lam dik tuh gensiat ahi ding hi.

²And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

³Huan, sum en jiakin juauthuin sumsinna ding nou a honzang ding uh; himahleh nidanglaia a tung ua thupuk tuh a khawl keia, a manthatna uh leng a ihmu kei hi.

³And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

⁴Angelten thil a hihkhelh lai un Pathianin a hawi keia, gawtmun ah a paia, vaihawm dingin guamkhukthuk mial ah a khum zo ngala;

⁴For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

⁵huan, amah limsakloute omna khovel ah tuichim tung sakin, nidanglai khovel tuh a hawi keia, himahleh, Noa diktatna thugenpa, mi dang sagih toh a hondamta hi;

⁵And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

⁶Sodom leh Gomorra khuate tuh amah limsak lou hongom dingte etsakna dingin a zanga, vut suak sakin, hihmang thangin siamlouh a tangsakta a;

⁶And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

⁷huan, Lota mi diktat, mi giloute omdan huk tak jiaka lungkham mahmahpa tuh a hondamtaa;

⁷And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

⁸(Huai mi diktat tuh a lak ua a omin, a mitin a mu a, a bilin a jaa, dan lou banga a thilhihte un a lungsim diktat tuh ni tengin a hihna mahmah ngala).

⁸(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

⁹Toupan amah limsakmite tuh khemna apat hotkhiakdan leh, diktatloute tuh vaihawm ni adinga gawt kawma hawi dan a thei;

⁹The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

¹⁰utna thanghuai lama sa banga om leh, vaihawm sakna musitmite ngial houh vaihawm nia dinga gawt kawma hawi dan a thei sem ahi. Haihan leh chihhak ahi ua a thupite a gensiat un leng a ling kei uhi;

¹⁰But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

¹¹angel hatna leh thilhihtheihna neiten bawn, amaute dema Toupa maa gense ngei lou hi ua.

¹¹Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

¹²Himahleh, hiaiten bel ganhing ngaihtuahna neilou, mata hihman dinga sa kiaa piangte bangin, thil a theih louhte uh a gensia ua,

¹²But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

¹³amau siatnain a se ngei ding uh, thil hihkhel mana thil gilou thuakin. Sunlaia ankuanglui buai nuamsa mi ahi uhi. Na kiang ua ankuang a lui un, amau kikhemna ankuanglui a hih jiak un, thanghuaina gensiatna ahi uhi;

¹³And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

¹⁴mit angkawma dim, khelhna tawpsan theiloute a nei ua; mi kip loute a khem puk ua; enhat lungsim a pu ua; hamsiat thuak tate ahi ua;

¹⁴Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

¹⁵Boer tapa Balaam, thilhih khelhna loh deihpa lampi tuh a tot tak jiak un lam dik a pai san ua, a vak mangta uhi;

¹⁵Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁶himahleh amah tuh a tatlekna jiakin taihilhin a omtaa; sabengtung pau theilou mihing pauin a hongpaua, jawlnei haina tuh a kham hi.

¹⁶But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷Hiaite tuh tuikhuk tui om lou leh, tuimei huihpi mut leng ahi ua; amaute adingin nuailam mial sah meuhmouh sit a hita hi.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁸Thu ginalou chiak jena genin giloua omte laka kipana tai khe laitakte tuh sa utna ah huknain a khempuk nak uhi.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

¹⁹Amau tuh siatna sikha hi kawm piin mite tuh sikha suahtakna thu achiam nak uh; mi zoha a omna mahin, huai mahin sikhain a siam nak ngala,

¹⁹While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

²⁰Toupa leh Hondampa Jesu Kris a theih jiak ua khovel thanghuainate a taikhiak san nung ua, huai maha a tan nawn ua, zoha a om nawn phing ua leh, a omdan nanung uh tuh amasa sangin a honghoihta kei jaw ahi ding hi.

²⁰For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

²¹Diktatna lampi pen theih nunga, thupiak siangthou a kiang ua kep sak thu nungngatsan sangin, diktatna lampi theilou hita le uh amau adingain a hoihzo ding ahi ngala.Ui amah luak lamah a kiknawna, vopi kisil siangsa leng buannawi ah kisil dingin a kik nawna, chih, paunak diktak bang thu tuh amau tungah a hongtungta ahi.

²¹For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²²Ui amah luak lamah a kiknawna, vopi kisil siangsa leng buannawi ah kisil dingin a kik nawna, chih, paunak diktak bang thu tuh amau tungah a hongtungta ahi.

²²But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
