1 Peter 1
1 Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Pita, Manzo Yesu Kristi, hi ni bi tsri wawu'u, ni wa ba chu ba ni-gbu Pontus, Galashiya, Kappodosiya, Ashiya ni Bitiniya.
2 in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you.
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.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
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.
4 unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
Gado yi a wa ana gla na, ana tie memme na, nda na khle na. Ba mlau zi ni yiwu ni shulu.
5 By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
Irji hrawu ni gbengble ma ni'wa wu nyime ni kpa chuwo wa ba tsoro ni'nton bi khle.
6 In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
Bi ngiri kpukpo me ni wu, duk ni wa a mla bi, na he wiye me nitu gbugbu ya-a.
7 so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
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.
8 For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
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.
9 returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
Bi ki kpa ɖï mbi zizahn yi wa'ahe nitu yo'suron mbi, wa ani kpa yi chuwo.
10 About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you,
Ni tu chu'chuwo mbi'a, Anabawa ba bă hla tre alheri wa ani ye ni yi'a, ba frowa nda froya sren-me,
11 inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.
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.
12 To them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.
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.
13 For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
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.
14 Be like sons of obedience, not conforming to the desires of your former ignorance,
Na immri bi woh-tre, na yo tu-mbi ti kpe wa bi si ta ti ni ntoh wa bina toh Irji na.
15 but in accord with him who has called you: the Holy One. And in every behavior, you yourself must be holy,
Na wawu wa a yo yi son ni nkinklah suron, biyi ngameh ban nkinklah suron'a ni-ti-mbi.
16 for it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am Holy.”
Ba nha ndi, son ni nkinklah suron, u Me ngameh mi he ni nkinklah suron.
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
U to bi yo “iti” wawu yi ni yi sheriya ni ko-nha nda na ya shishi njo na, njiu mgbamgbah ni zren meh.
18 For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,
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.
19 but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,
Naki, A kpa yi chuwo ni iyi u Kristi, wa-a na he ni lla-tre mpempe meh na.
20 foreknown, certainly, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.
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.
21 Through him, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
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.
22 So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.
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.
23 For you have been born again, not from corruptible seed, but from what is incorruptible, from the Word of God, living and remaining for all eternity. (aiōn g165)
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)
24 For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.
U “ikpa yi he na giga, ibi ngame he na u flawa u giga. Giga ba ba kyu, u flawa ba kuhle,
