1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners 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 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the setting apart of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to 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 given us another birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among 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 into an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance, already reserved in the heavens for you,
Gado yi a wa ana gla na, ana tie memme na, nda na khle na. Ba mlau zi ni yiwu ni shulu.
5 who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Irji hrawu ni gbengble ma ni'wa wu nyime ni kpa chuwo wa ba tsoro ni'nton bi khle.
6 You should be overjoyed about this, even if just now, briefly, of necessity, you have been distressed by a variety of 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 demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, 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 —whom not having understood you love, into whom believing (not yet seeing) you exult with joy inexpressible, already glorified,
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 obtaining for yourselves the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Bi ki kpa ɖï mbi zizahn yi wa'ahe nitu yo'suron mbi, wa ani kpa yi chuwo.
10 Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently,
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 investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them.
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 It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.
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 Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought 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 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your 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 just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your way of life,
Na wawu wa a yo yi son ni nkinklah suron, biyi ngameh ban nkinklah suron'a ni-ti-mbi.
16 because 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 Also, since you invoke as Father the One who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourn here in fear,
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 knowing that it was not with perishable things (silver or gold) that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down by your forefathers,
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 with the precious blood of Christ, as of a faultless and pure lamb;
Naki, A kpa yi chuwo ni iyi u Kristi, wa-a na he ni lla-tre mpempe meh na.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last 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 who through Him are believing into God, who raised Him out from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are into 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 Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart,
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 having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. (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 as grass, and all man's glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord's word endures forever.”
U “ikpa yi he na giga, ibi ngame he na u flawa u giga. Giga ba ba kyu, u flawa ba kuhle,
