< 1 Peter 2 >

1 So then, laying aside all malignity—even all deceit and play-actings and envies, yes all malicious speaking—
Bara nani ceon adadu ananzan likot vat, urusuzu liti, nshina nin liru uhem.
2 crave the pure spiritual ‘milk’, like newborn babies do, so that by it you may grow into salvation,
Nafo nono nipesse, idi ntok mmazin milau min ruhu, inan kunjo nan nya utucu minin,
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is benevolent.
andi ina ciro ise cikilarie di nin kibinai kisheu.
4 Coming to Him, a living stone—rejected indeed by men but chosen by God, precious—
Dan kiti nlenge na amere litala nlai longo na anite na nari, ama Kutelle na fere linin nloli di ghe gongong.
5 you also, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Anung wang masin nafo alala nlaiyari alenge na ina kye iso nilari nruhu, inan so a pristoci alau na ima nakpizu uhadaya nruhu ulenge na Kutelle ma seru unuzun Yesu Kristi.
6 That is why the Scripture contains: “Attention, I am laying in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, precious, and the one who rests his trust upon Him will absolutely not be humiliated.”
Uliru ntuce nworo nenge, “lanzang nna nonko nsihiyona litala liguda kutyi, lin cizunu, licine a licaut. Ulenge na a yinna ninghe na aina ti ncing ba”.
7 So then, this recompense is for you who believe, but to those who disobey, “the stone that the builders rejected is just the one that became the chief cornerstone,”
Ngongonghe min fere na uyinna ama, “litala na anan kye kutiye wa nari, linnare nso litala liguea kutiye”
8 also “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”; being disobedient to the Word, they stumble, to which, indeed, they were appointed.
a litala ntirzu a kuparang ntirizu” I tirzo, inari uyinnu nin lirue, ulenge na imung wang iwa fere nani mun.
9 But you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a private-property people, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Anung imus nferuwari, a pirist tigo, nmyin milau, annit Kutelle an litime, inan belle katwa kazikiki nlenge na ana yicila minu unuzu nan nya nsirt ucindu nan nya nkanang mi zikiki.
10 who formerly were not a people but now are God's people, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Na iwa mandi anit ba, ana nene idi anit Kutelle. Na iwa seru nkunekune ba, ama nene ina seru nkunekune.
11 Dear ones, I urge you to abstain from the lusts of the flesh, that war against the soul,
Yenen, nna yicila minu nafo amara nin na nan galu inan wantina atimine ntok nalapi, alenge na adin su likum nin tilai mine.
12 keeping your way of life among the nations praiseworthy (you being foreigners and sojourners), so that wherein they speak against you as evildoers, in spite of the praiseworthy deeds they have observed, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
Yitan nin nadu a cine nan a cine nan nya na nan salin dortu Kutelle, bara, asa isu uliru na timine nworu ina su imon inanzang, ima su seng izazin Kutelle lirin nsa me.
13 Therefore subordinate yourselves to every human institution because of the Lord, whether to a king, as being in authority,
Nonkon ati nin tigo nanit vat bara likilari, sa ugo na amere udya vat,
14 or to governors, as being sent by him, both for punishment of evildoers and for praise of good-doers.
sa anan tigo na ina tu nani ida ti anan nalapi ineo inin zazin alenge na idin sa katwa kacine.
15 Because such is the will of God, to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good:
Bara nanere usu Kutelle, nan nya nsu nimon icine itursu uliru tinu nanit alalang.
16 as free (not using the freedom as a cover for evil), yet as slaves of God.
Nafo ale na idi licin ba, na iwa su katwa nin salin yitulicin mine imon tursuzu katwa ka nanzang, ana son nafo acin Kutelle.
17 Respect everyone; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.
Ghantiuan anit vat. Tan usu linuwana, tan fiue Kutelle ghantinan Ugo.
18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unscrupulous.
Acin, nan nibinai mine kiti nan cinilari mine nan nyan nonku nati, na kiti nan cinilari acine cas ba, umunu a nanazanghe wang.
19 For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God someone endures grief, suffering unjustly.
Bara imon ngongonghari asa umong ntere kibinai nan nyan konu a ayita nniu asa i waso uliru na dert ba bara uni litime kiti Kutelle.
20 For what credit is it if upon sinning and being beaten you endure patiently? But if upon doing good and suffering you endure patiently, this is commendable before God.
Mmari mi mashinari diku uwa ti kulapi unin ti anyi akona kubi nhoro? Ama asa uta imon icine umin nneo kubin horo, ilele imon ngongonghari kiti Kutelle.
21 Now you have been called to this, really, because Christ also suffered in our behalf, leaving you an example that you should follow in His footsteps:
Kiti nilelere iwa yicila minu, Kristi wang na sono unin bara anughe, amini na sun udursuzu nworu among dofin libo me
22 who did not commit sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth;
Na an ti kulapi ba; a na ina se kinu nnu me ba.
23 who being reviled did not revile in return, suffering did not threaten but committed it to Him who judges righteously;
Na iwa zogoghe, na awa tunu izoge ba, na awa neo, na nan tunu uniwe ba, ama ana ni litime kiti nlenge na adin su ushara dert.
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, so that we, having died to those sins, might live for the righteousness; by whose wound you were healed.
Ame litime na yaun alapi bite kidowo me udu kitene kuca, bara arik wa kuru ti se ndinong kulapi, arik nan se tiso anan sali na lapi. Bara anit kidowo me ina se ushinu tikonu mine.
25 Yes, you were like straying sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls.
Vat mine na galu nafo akam nwulu, ame nene ina kpilin kiti nnan libyawe nin nan yenju tilai mine.
