1Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
1Huchiin, Kris in a saa a thuak jiakin, nou leng huchi bang lungsimin kivan sam un; saa thuak khinsain gilou a tawpsanta ngala;
2that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
2huchiin, tunung saa a omlai teng, mihing duhgawlna lam banga omta louin, Pathian deihlamin a omta hi.
3For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
3Jentelte utlam hihna- huknate, sa utna te, uaiin haina te, zu dawn khamna te, milim biakna kihhuai takte hiha omna tumalama teng hunta hen aw;
4They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:
4huaia amau nuam bawl luatna banga nouten tu-a na bawlsam louh uh lamdang a sa ua, nou a hon-gense nak uhi;
5who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
5amau tuh mihing leh misite ngaihtuah dinga mansa kiangah a tanchin uh a gen ding uhi.
6For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
6Hiai jiakin ahi, misite kianga leng tanchin hoih gen a hih, saa om mihingte banga ngaihtuahin om mahle-uh, khaa bel Pathian banga a hin theihna ding un.
7But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
7Himahleh, thil tengteng tawpna tuh a naita, huaijiakin na thum theihna ding un lungsim diktak puin pilvangun.
8And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
8Bangkimteng sangin phatuamngai takin kiit tuah chiat unla; itnain gilou tampi a khuh jel ngala.
9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
9Phun louin kizintun tuah unla;
10As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
10mi chihin thilpiak na muh bang jel un, Pathian hehpihna chiteng kem hoihte bangin, huaitein na kisep sak tuah chiat un.
11If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
11Mi kuapeuhin thu a gen leh Pathian thute bangin gen hen; mi kuapeuhin na a sep leh Pathianin hatna a piak bang jelin sem hen; huchiin Jesu Kris jiakin Pathian tuh thil bangkimah pahtawiin a om thei ding, thupina leh vaihawmna tuh khantawna amaha ahi ngala. Amen.
12Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
12Deih takte aw, na lak ua zeetna thupi tak hongom, noumau zeetna dinga na tung ua hong tung, thil lamdang na tung ua tung bangin lamdangsa kei un.
13But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
13Kris thuaknate bangah thuakpihte na hihdan bang jel un kipak jaw un; huchiin a thupinaa a hongkilak chiangin noumau leng nuamtakin na kipak thei ding uhi.
14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
14Kris min jiaka tai nahih uleh, na hampha uhi; thupina kha leh Pathian kha tuh na tunguah a om ngala.
15For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
15Himahleh, na lak uah kuamahin tualthatmi a hih jiakin hiam, mi dangte thil hih gensakmi a hih jiakin hiam thuak kei hen.
16But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
16Ahihhangin, Kristian a hih jiakin thuakta leh zum kei hen; huai min jiakin Pathian pahtawi jaw hen.
17For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
17Vaihawmna tuh Pathian inkuanpihte ah pat a hunta ngala; huan, eite ngeia a pat masak leh, Pathian tanchin hoih thumang loute tawpna tuh bangchi phet ahi de aw?
18“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?” Proverbs 11:31
18Huan, mi diktat nangawn hotdam liailiai a hih in tuh, Pathian limsaklou leh mi gilou tuh koiah a lang ding?Huai jiakin, Pathian hoihsak banga thuakten tuh thil hoih hihin a khate uh Siampa muanhuaitak kiangah kemsak hen.
19Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
19Huai jiakin, Pathian hoihsak banga thuakten tuh thil hoih hihin a khate uh Siampa muanhuaitak kiangah kemsak hen.
