¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

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

²as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

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

³if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

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

⁴coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

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

⁵You also, as living stones, are built up as 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 cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

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 who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,” Psalm 118:22

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 offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which 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 you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous 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 God’s people, 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 beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, 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.

¹³Therefore subject yourselves 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 to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

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

¹⁵For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you 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 wicked.

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 it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

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 you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable 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 to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you 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 not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” Isaiah 53:9

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

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges 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 bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you 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 you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer “Overseer” is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent. of your souls.

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