1 Petro 1
1 An Petro ma jaote Yesu Kristo, Andikonu un jo-Nyasaye moyiero ma gin welo e piny, kendo mokere kuonde duto mag Ponto, gi Galatia, gi Kapadokia, gi Asia kod Bithinia.
To the people of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Nyasaye Wuoro noyierou chon kaka dwarone obet mondo opwodhu gi Roho, umak chik Yesu Kristo kendo mondo rembe okir kuomu. Ngʼwono kod kwe mogundho obed kodu.
and who were chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the consecration of the Spirit, to learn obedience, and to be purified by the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Duongʼ obed ne Nyasaye ma wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo nikech kuom kechne maduongʼ, osenywolwa manyien mi wayudo geno mangima kuom chier mane Yesu Kristo ochiergo oa kuom joma otho.
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, in his great mercy, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Mano emomiyo wabedo gi geno mangima mar yudo mwandu mosiko ma okanonu e polo malo kuma ok onyal kethore kata lalie.
given us the new life of undying hope, that promises an inheritance, imperishable, stainless, unfading, which has been reserved for you in heaven –
5 Kuom yie Nyasaye oserito jogo gi tekone nyaka chop warruok moseiki mondo ofweny chiengʼ giko.
for you who, through faith, are being guarded by the power of God, awaiting a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last days.
6 Beduru mamor kuom wachni, kata obedo ni sani pod uneno sand mopogore opogore kuom kinde matin.
At the thought of this you are full of exultation, though (if it has been necessary) you have suffered for the moment somewhat from various trials;
7 Gik makamagi osetimorenu mondo one ane ka un gi yie mar adier. To Kata mana dhahabu manyalo kethore bende ipwodho gi mach. Omiyo yie maru ma nengone tek moloyo dhahabu, nyaka tem mondo ongʼego ka en yie mar adier. Eka unuyud pak kod gi duongʼ kod luor, chiengʼ ma Yesu Kristo ofwenyore.
that the genuineness of your faith – a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire – may win praise and glory and honor at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 Kata obedo ni pok unene to pod uhere ahera kendo kata obedo ni ok unene kata sani to pod uyie ayiea kuome kendo upongʼ gi mor maduongʼ.
Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words,
9 Nikech koro uyudo thoro mar yie maru, ma en warruok mar chunyu.
as you receive the reward of your faith in the salvation of your souls!
10 Kuom wach warruokni ema ne jonabi onono matut kendo omanyo matek, kane gikoro wach gweth mane Nyasaye biro miyou.
It was this salvation that the prophets, who spoke long ago of the blessing intended for you, sought, and strove to comprehend;
11 Roho mar Kristo mane nikuomgi nonyisogi chon kuom masiche mane Kristo biro yudo kod duongʼ mane biro luwo masichego, omiyo ne gitemo manyo kinde mane gigo biro timoree kendo kaka negibiro timore.
as they strove to discern what that time could be, to which the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when foretelling the sufferings that Christ would have to endure, and the glories that would follow.
12 Nofweny nigi ni tich mane gitiyo ne ok giti nigin giwegi, to negitiyo mana ne un kane giwuoyo kuom gik makoro osenyisu gi joma oseyalonu Injili kuom teko mar Roho Maler moa e polo. Kata malaike bende gombo mondo one.
And it was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were acting as Ministers of the truths which have now been told to you, by those who, with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, have brought you the good news – truths into which even angels long to look.
13 Emomiyo ikuru pachu ne tich. Beduru mos kendo keturu genou duto kuom ngʼwono mibiro miu ka Yesu Kristo ofwenyore.
Therefore concentrate your minds, with the strictest self-control, and fix your hopes on the blessing that is coming for you at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Kaka nyithindo mawinjo wach, kik ulu kit gombo maricho mane uluwo chon kane pod udak e kia.
Be like obedient children; do not let your lives be shaped by the passions which once swayed you in the days of your ignorance,
15 To mana kaka Jal moluongou ler, beduru maler e gimoro amora mutimo;
but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your call.
16 nikech ondiki niya, “Beduru maler nikech aler.”
For scripture says – ‘You will be holy, because I am holy.’
17 Kaka uluongo nying Wuoro mangʼado bura ne tich ngʼato ka ngʼato machalre ka ok odew wangʼ ngʼato, daguru kaka welo e piny-ka, kod luor mowinjore.
And since you call on him as ‘Father,’ who judges everyone impartially by what he has done, let respectful awe be the spirit of your lives during the time of your stay on earth.
18 Nimar ungʼeyo ni kane owaru kuom ngimau manono mane kwereu machon owenu mondo ulu, to ne ok owaru gi gik makethore kaka fedha kata dhahabu,
For you know that it was not by perishable things, such as silver and gold, that you were ransomed from the aimless way of living which was handed down to you from your ancestors,
19 makmana nowaru gi remo ma nengone tek mar Kristo, ma en Nyarombo maonge songa moro amora.
but by precious blood, as it were of a lamb, unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
20 Ne oyiere kapok ochwe piny, to ne ofwenynwago e ndalogi mogik nikech un.
Destined for this before the beginning of the world, he has been revealed in these last days for your sakes,
21 Nikech En, koro uyie kuom Nyasaye, mane ochiere oa kuom joma otho mi omiye duongʼ mondo yie maru kod geno maru obed kuom Nyasaye.
who, through him, are faithful to God who raised him from the dead and gave him honor, so that your faith and hope are now in God.
22 Kaka koro usepwodhuru uwegi kuom luwo adiera, mondo eka uher joweteu, koro herreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato gihera matut, kendo timuru kamano gi chunyu duto.
Now that, by your obedience to the truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;
23 Nikech osenywolu nywol manyien, ok gi kodhi ma towo, to gi kodhi ma ok tow, gi wach Nyasaye mangima kendo mochwere. (aiōn g165)
since your new life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
24 Nimar Ndiko wacho niya, “Dhano duto chalo gi lum kendo duongʼ ma gin-go chalo mana gi maua manie pap; lum ner kendo maua two mi lwar piny,
For – ‘All earthly life is but as grass, and all its splendor as the flower of grass. The grass fades, its flower falls,
