1 Petro 2
1 Emomiyo weuru timbe maricho duto kod wuondruok duto, kod dondruok, gi nyiego kod kuoth e yo moro amora.
Therefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 Mana kaka nyithindo mayom, beduru gi siso gi chak mayom mar chuny mondo kumadhe to omi udongi e yor warruok,
As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow by it:
3 nikech koro usebilo Ruoth mi uyudo ni ober.
If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Ka ubiro ir Jalno ma en Kidi mangima mane jogedo odagi, to en ema Nyasaye noyiere kendo omiye duongʼ.
To whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious,
5 Un bende biuru ire kaka kite mangima, mondo oger kodu hekalu mar chuny mondo ubed jodolo maler machiwo misango mag chuny ma Nyasaye oyiego kuom Yesu Kristo.
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Mana kaka Muma wacho niya, “Neuru, aketo kidi e Sayun, en kidi moyier kendo ma nengone tek moriwo kor ot, to ngʼat mogeno kuome ok none wichkuot.”
Therefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Kidini nigi nengo matek mana ni un joma oyie. To kuom joma ok oyie to, “Kidi mane jogedo odagi koro osedoko kidi moriwo kor ot,”
To you therefore who believe he is precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 bende niya, “En e kidi machwanyo ji kendo lwanda mamiyo gipodho.” Gichwanyore nikech gitamore winjo wach mane Nyasaye owalonegi.
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to this also they were appointed.
9 Un to un jogo moyier. Un jodolo ma joka Ruoth kendo un oganda maler mar Nyasaye mane oyiero mondo ohul tijene miwuoro, kane oluongou mi ua e mudho kendo udonjo e lerne miwuoro.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a special people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Chon ne ok un ji, to koro un jo-Nyasaye, chon ne pok okechu, to koro osekechu.
Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Joherana, ajiwou, kaka jowuoth kendo kaka welo e pinyni, mondo uwe gombo maricho mag ringruok makedo gi chunyu.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Daguru e ngima maber e kind jopiny makia Nyasaye mondo kata ka gihangonu ni un joketho to gine mana timbeu mabeyo mi gimi Nyasaye duongʼ chiengʼ ma obiro ngʼadoe bura.
Having your behaviour honest among the Gentiles: that, though they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka winj joloch duto moketi mondo orit ji, nikech uhero Ruoth Yesu madwaro ni utim kamano. Rituru chike mag ruoth marito piny,
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
14 kendo rituru bende chike mag jotelo ma gin joma ruoth owuon ema oketo mondo okum joma ketho to opwo joma timo maber.
Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 Nikech en dwaro Nyasaye mondo timbeu mabeyo okuod wi joma ofuwo mohero weche manono.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 Daguru ka joma ni thuolo, to kik uti gi thuolo ma un-go obed gima uumogo richou, daguru kaka jotich Nyasaye.
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Chiwuru luor mowinjore ne ji duto. Heruru jowete duto mowar. Luoruru Nyasaye. Miuru ruoth mar piny luor.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 To un wasumbini winjuru ruodhiu kendo migiuru luor. Kik uluor mana ruodhi mabeyo ma ok kwiny kodu, to luoruru koda mago makwiny kodu.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse.
19 Nikech en gima ber ka dhano oyie tingʼo rem mar chandruok moyudo kayiem nikech ongʼeyo ni Nyasaye ni kode.
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 To ere kaka ngʼato diyud pak ka uyudo chwat michwadougo nikech ujoketho? To ka isandou nikech tim maber ma utimo, kendo ka unano e bwo sand ma kamano, to Nyasaye pwoyou.
For what glory is it, if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Mano e kit ngima mane oluongue nikech Kristo nosandi nikech un, mine oweyonu ranyisi mondo un bende uluw timne.
For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Muma wacho niya, “Ne ok otimo richo kata achiel, kendo onge miriambo mane owuok e dhoge.”
Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Kane oyanye to ne ok oyenyo, kata kane isande to ne ok okwongʼo joma ne sande. Kar timo kamano to noketo genone kuom Jal ma jangʼad bura ma kare.
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 En owuon notingʼo richowa e ringre kane otho e msalaba mondo eka wan wadok joma otho ne richo, to wabed mangima ne timbe makare; kuom moriemo mage ema osechangu.
Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 Ne uchalo mana ka rombe morwenyo, to koro oseduogu e yo mondo ulu Jakwadhu kendo Jarit mar chunyu.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
