1 Pita 1
1 Pita, Manzo Yesu Kristi, hi ni bi tsri wawu'u, ni wa ba chu ba ni-gbu Pontus, Galashiya, Kappodosiya, Ashiya ni Bitiniya.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 A hi tie u Irji - Tietie wa'a toh ko shishi'a, nda tie ndu ni Ruhuma u wo tre mba u iyi Yesu Kristi wa'a ka-vra. Ndu Zizih hu'yi, u'si suron mbi ndu babrahn.
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.
3 Irji ni'tti Bachi mbu ndu kpa gbre-san. Ni Khikle llo suron ma, a nnota ingrji să ma ni yo suron ni tashimme Yesu Kristi.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope
4 Gado yi a wa ana gla na, ana tie memme na, nda na khle na. Ba mlau zi ni yiwu ni shulu.
in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,
5 Irji hrawu ni gbengble ma ni'wa wu nyime ni kpa chuwo wa ba tsoro ni'nton bi khle.
who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:
6 Bi ngiri kpukpo me ni wu, duk ni wa a mla bi, na he wiye me nitu gbugbu ya-a.
in which you rejoice, though now for a little while, since it is needful, you are in sorrow under various temptations;
7 Iwayi tsro suron kpa nyime mbi, a bi zan zinariya wa ani tie meme'a, ko ba goun ni llu. A tie to'mba dun suron'mbi dun fe gbire-san, daraja mba nzu suron ivi wa ba tsuro Yesu Kristi'a.
that your faith, when proved, being much more precious than gold, which perishes though it be tried by fire, may be found to be for praise and honor and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 Bi rihen towu, u bi sonwu. Bina towu zizan na, u bi kpa nyime niwu ndi ngiri wa'a zan wa bana tre-e na.
whom, though you have not seen him, yet you love; on whom not now looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory,
9 Bi ki kpa ɖï mbi zizahn yi wa'ahe nitu yo'suron mbi, wa ani kpa yi chuwo.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ni tu chu'chuwo mbi'a, Anabawa ba bă hla tre alheri wa ani ye ni yi'a, ba frowa nda froya sren-me,
Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,
11 Ba wá ba toh ka ba nha u ntoh wa Ruhu Kristi nimi mba sia tre ni ba-a. U wayi asi ti ka wa asi hla ni bawu nitu iya u Kristi ni kikkle kpi wa ba ye ni gohn.
inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, beforehand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them;
12 Ba nhara-a bawu ndi bana ki ti ndu'a u mba na, amma bi yi, wa ba tre nitu kpi wa ba hla yiwu'a ni nyu biwa ba bla tre Irji ni yiwu ni zo Ruhu Irji wa a rji shu'a - ikpi wa Malaiku ba wa to'a.
to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.
13 U bi ka lo suron mbi nji. Sohn nchen meh. Yo suron nitu Aleri wa ba njiye ni yiwu ni ntoh wa ba bwu ni yiwu Yesu Kristi.
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
14 Na immri bi woh-tre, na yo tu-mbi ti kpe wa bi si ta ti ni ntoh wa bina toh Irji na.
as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;
15 Na wawu wa a yo yi son ni nkinklah suron, biyi ngameh ban nkinklah suron'a ni-ti-mbi.
but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior:
16 Ba nha ndi, son ni nkinklah suron, u Me ngameh mi he ni nkinklah suron.
because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.
17 U to bi yo “iti” wawu yi ni yi sheriya ni ko-nha nda na ya shishi njo na, njiu mgbamgbah ni zren meh.
And since you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
18 Bi to ndi ana ni silva ko gold wa ani gla mba A kpa yi chuwo rji ni memme ti nkprah wa bi vu-rji ni ba ti-mbi na.
because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers,
19 Naki, A kpa yi chuwo ni iyi u Kristi, wa-a na he ni lla-tre mpempe meh na.
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,
20 Irji chu Kristi rji ni memmle wa-a yo nchi u ti mgbumgblu'a, u a bwu ni yiwu ni ntoh bi wa ba kle yi.
who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
21 Wawu yi bwu nkoh u kpa Irji ni tawu, wa A nzuw rji nimi biwa ba kyu u nda nu ruron u chu, nitu kii yo suron mbi ni he tu-nkoh Irji.
who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Bi kpa suron mbi du kpan nitu bi wo tre njanji'a. Wayi he nitu son u njanji u mmri vayi; bi ka son kpa-mbi rji nimi suron mbi.
Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently,
23 Ba ngrji yi ngari, ana rji ni bi wa-ani ti memme na, a rji ni bi wa-ana ti memme na, ni kii bi kpa vri mba imbru tre Irji'a. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
24 U “ikpa yi he na giga, ibi ngame he na u flawa u giga. Giga ba ba kyu, u flawa ba kuhle,
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass; the grass withers, and its flower fails away:
