1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Nítorí náà, ẹ fi àrankàn gbogbo sílẹ̀ ni apá kan, àti ẹ̀tàn gbogbo, àti àgàbàgebè, àti ìlara, àti sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ búburú gbogbo.
2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
Bí ọmọ ọwọ́ tuntun, kí ẹ máa fẹ́ wàrà ti Ẹ̀mí, èyí tí kò lẹ́tàn, kí ẹ̀yin lè máa tipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ dàgbà sí ìgbàlà,
3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
nísinsin yìí tí ẹ̀yin ti tọ́ ọ wò pé rere ni Olúwa.
4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
Ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń tọ̀ bọ̀, sí bi òkúta ààyè náà, èyí ti a ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn kọ̀ sílẹ̀ nítòótọ́, ṣùgbọ́n lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, àṣàyàn òkúta iyebíye.
5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú, bí òkúta ààyè, ni a kọ́ ní ilé ẹ̀mí, àlùfáà mímọ́, láti máa rú ẹbọ ẹ̀mí, tí i ṣe ìtẹ́wọ́gbà lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run nípa Jesu Kristi.
6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Nítorí nínú Ìwé Mímọ́, ó wí pe: “Kíyèsi i, mo fi pàtàkì òkúta igun ilé àṣàyàn, iyebíye, lélẹ̀ ni Sioni: ẹni tí ó bá sì gbà á gbọ́ ojú kì yóò tì í.”
7 For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
Báyìí fún ẹ̀yin ti ẹ gbà á gbọ́, ó ṣe iyebíye; ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn tí kò gbà á gbọ́, “Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, òun ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé,”
8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
àti pẹ̀lú, “Òkúta ìdìgbòlù, àti àpáta ìkọ̀sẹ̀.” Nítorí wọ́n kọsẹ̀ nípa ṣíṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, sínú èyí tí a gbé yàn wọ́n sí pẹ̀lú.
9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ni ìran tí a yàn olú àlùfáà, Orílẹ̀-èdè mímọ́, ènìyàn ọ̀tọ̀ ki ẹ̀yin lè fi ọláńlá ẹni tí ó pè yín jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn sínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ ìyanu rẹ̀ hàn.
10 who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Ẹ̀yin tí kì í ṣe ènìyàn nígbà kan rí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ti di ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ẹ̀yin tí kò rí àánú gbà rí, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ ti rí àánú gbà.
11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Olùfẹ́ ọ̀wọ́n, mo bẹ̀ yín, bí àjèjì àti àtìpó, láti fàsẹ́yìn kúrò nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara, tí ń ba ọkàn jagun.
12 having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Kí ìwà yín láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà dára; pé, bí wọ́n ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ yín bí olùṣe búburú, nípa iṣẹ́ rere yín tí wọn ó máa kíyèsi, kí wọ́n lè máa yin Ọlọ́run lógo lọ́jọ́ ti òun ba bẹ̀ wá wò.
13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
Ẹ máa tẹríba fún gbogbo ìlànà ènìyàn nítorí ti Olúwa, ìbá à ṣe fún ọba tàbí fún olórí.
14 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
Tàbí fún àwọn baálẹ̀, fún àwọn tí a rán láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti gbẹ̀san lára àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú, àti fún ìyìn àwọn tí ń ṣe rere.
15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run sá ni èyí pé, ní rere í ṣe, kí ẹ lè dẹ́kun ọ̀rọ̀ àìmọ̀kan òmùgọ̀ ènìyàn.
16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
Ẹ máa gbé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni òmìnira, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ma ṣe lo òmìnira yín láti bo ibi mọ́lẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ gbé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Ẹ bọ̀wọ̀ fún gbogbo ènìyàn, ẹ fẹ́ àwọn ará, ẹ bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, ẹ bọ̀wọ̀ fún ọba.
18 Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀, ẹ máa tẹríba fún àwọn ọ̀gá yín pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù gbogbo, kì í ṣe fún àwọn ẹni rere àti oníwà tútù nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn òǹrorò pẹ̀lú.
19 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
Nítorí pé èyí ní ìgbóríyìn fún, bí ènìyàn bá fi ara da ìrora, ìjìyà lọ́nà àìtọ́, nítorí ọkàn rere sí Ọlọ́run.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Ṣùgbọ́n ògo kín ni ó jẹ́, nígbà tí ẹ ba ṣẹ̀ tí a sì lù yín, bí ẹ bá fi sùúrù gbà á? Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ń ṣe rere tí ẹ sì ń jìyà, bí ẹ bá fi sùúrù gbà á, ẹ̀yín ní ọpẹ́ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Sí èyí ni a pè yín: nítorí Kristi pẹ̀lú jìyà fún un yin, ó fi àpẹẹrẹ sílẹ̀ fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin lè máa tọ ipasẹ̀ rẹ̀:
22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
“Òun kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀ kankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni, a kò rí ẹ̀tàn kan lẹ́nu rẹ̀.”
23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
Ẹni, nígbà tí a kẹ́gàn rẹ̀, tí kò sì padà kẹ́gàn; nígbà tí ó jìyà tí kò sì halẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ó fi ọ̀ràn rẹ̀ lé ẹni ti ń ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo lọ́wọ́.
24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
Ẹni tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ fi ara rẹ̀ ru ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa lórí igi àgbélébùú, pé kí àwa lè di òkú sí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ki a sì di ààyè sí òdodo, nípa ìjìyà ẹni tí ó mú yín láradá.
25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ń ṣáko lọ bí àgùntàn, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ẹ̀yin ti padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àti bíṣọ́ọ̀bù ọkàn yín.
