< 1 Peter 1 >

1 PETER an Apostle of IESVS CHRIST, to the strangers that dwell here and there throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
Pita, onyeozi Jisọs Kraịst, Na-edegara unu ndị niile ndị a họpụtara, ndị gbara ọsọ ndụ gaa biri na Pọntọs, na Galeshịa, na Kapadosia, Eshịa na Bitinia, akwụkwọ a.
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God ye Father vnto sanctification of ye Spirit, through obedience and sprinkeling of the blood of Iesus Christ: Grace and peace bee multiplied vnto you.
Unu ndị Chineke bụ Nna họpụtara dị ka o bururị ụzọ mata na ọ ga-eme, jirikwa Mmụọ Nsọ ya doo unu nsọ, ka unu na-erubere Jisọs Kraịst isi, ka ewerekwa ọbara ya sachaa unu: Ka amara na udo baara unu ụba.
3 Blessed bee God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which according to his aboundant mercie hath begotten vs againe vnto a liuely hope by the resurrection of Iesus Christ from the dead,
Otuto dịrị Chineke Nna Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst! Site nʼịba ụba nke ebere ya, o nyela anyị ndụ ọhụrụ baa nʼolileanya dị ndụ site na mbilite nʼọnwụ Jisọs Kraịst.
4 To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
Anyị nwekwara ihe nketa nke na-apụghị imebi emebi, nke na-agaghị ere ure, maọbụ gbanwee ụdịdị ya, nke e debeere anyị nʼeluigwe.
5 Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time.
Anyị bụ ndị e sitere nʼokwukwe na-echekwa nʼike Chineke, tutu ruo ọbịbịa nzọpụta ahụ, nke a na-ejikere ime ka ọ pụta ìhè nʼọgwụgwụ oge.
6 Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
Nʼime ihe ndị a ka unu na-aṅụrị oke ọṅụ, ọ bụ ezie na nʼoge ndị a dị nta, unu agabigala ọtụtụ ihe mgbu nʼihi ụdị ọnwụnwa dị iche iche bịakwasịrị unu.
7 That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus Christ:
Ọnwụnwa ndị a na-abịa ime ka okwukwe unu, nke dị oke ọnụahịa karịa ọlaedo na-ala nʼiyi nʼagbanyeghị na e ji ọkụ nụchaa ya; bụrụ nke ga-eweta otuto, na ebube, na nsọpụrụ, mgbe e mere ka Jisọs Kraịst pụta ìhè.
8 Whome yee haue not seene, and yet loue him, in whome nowe, though yee see him not, yet doe you beleeue, and reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious,
Ọ bụ ezie na unu ejibeghị anya unu hụ ya mgbe ọbụla, ma unu hụrụ ya nʼanya, ọ bụkwa ezie na unu adịghị ahụ ya anya ugbu a, ma unu kwere na ya. Unu jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ ahụ dị ebube nke ọnụ na-apụghị ịkọwa.
9 Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
Ụgwọ ọrụ ọzọ unu ga-enweta nʼihi okwukwe unu nʼime ya ga-abụ nzọpụta a ga-azọpụta mkpụrụobi unu.
10 Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you,
Banyere nzọpụta a, ndị amụma ahụ kwuru ihe banyere amara ahụ gaje ịbịara unu jiri nnọọ nwayọọ nyochasịa
11 Searching when or what time the Spirite which testified before of Christ which was in them, shoulde declare the sufferings that should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that shoulde follow.
ma gbalịsie ike ịchọpụta oge na ọnọdụ ahụ bụ nke Mmụọ Kraịst dị nʼime ha kwuru banyere ya, mgbe ọ gbara ama maka ahụhụ Kraịst na ebube nke ga-eso ya.
12 Vnto whome it was reueiled, that not vnto themselues, but vnto vs they shoulde minister the things, which are nowe shewed vnto you by them which haue preached vnto you the Gospell by the holy Ghost sent downe from heauen, the which things the Angels desire to beholde.
E mere ka ha mata na ọrụ ha na-arụ abụghị maka ọdịmma nke ha onwe ha, kama ọ bụ nʼihi ọdịmma nke unu, mgbe ha kwuru okwu banyere ihe ndị a ahụ bụ ndị a gwarala unu ugbu a site nʼọnụ ndị ziri unu oziọma nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ nke e si nʼeluigwe zite. Ọ bụladị ndị mmụọ ozi ka ọ gụrụ agụụ ịmata ihe ndị a.
13 Wherefore, girde vp the Ioynes of your minde: bee sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that is brought vnto you, in the reuelation of Iesus Christ,
Nʼihi ya, werenụ uche unu niile jikere ịrụ ọrụ, anya dokwaa unu. Nweenụ olileanya zuruoke nʼamara nke a ga-ewetara unu mgbe a ga-ekpughe Jisọs Kraịst.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance:
Dị ka ụmụ na-erube isi, unu ekwela ka ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ na-agụ unu agụụ mgbe unu nọ nʼọchịchịrị, na-achị ndụ unu.
15 But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
Kama bụrụnụ ndị dị nsọ nʼihe niile unu na-eme, dịka onye kpọrọ unu si dị nsọ.
16 Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
Nʼihi na e dere ya ede, “Dịnụ nsọ, nʼihi na adị m nsọ.”
17 And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare,
Ebe unu na-akpọku Nna ahụ na-ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe dị ka ọrụ ya sịrị dị na-eleghị mmadụ anya nʼihu, bienụ ndụ unu nʼịtụ egwu Chineke, dịka ndị mbịarambịa nʼụwa a.
18 Knowing that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the fathers,
Nʼihi na unu matara na-ejighị ihe pụrụ imebi emebi, dịka ọlaọcha na ọlaedo gbapụta unu site nʼibi ndụ ọjọọ ahụ nna nna unu ha nyefere unu nʼaka
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
kama ọ bụ ọbara dị oke ọnụahịa nke Kraịst bụ nwa atụrụ na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla maọbụ ọrụsị.
20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
A họpụtara ya tupu e kee ụwa. Kama, ọ bụ nʼọgwụgwụ oge ndị a ka e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè nʼihi unu.
21 Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God,
Ọ bụkwa site nʼaka ya ka unu ji bụrụ ndị kwere na Chineke, onye mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie, na onye nyekwara ya ebube. Ya mere, okwukwe unu na olileanya unu dị na Chineke.
22 Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently,
Ugbu a, ebe unu sitere nʼirubere eziokwu ahụ isi mee ka obi unu dị ọcha, nke mere na unu nwere ịhụnanya nke ihu abụọ nʼadịghị nʼebe ụmụnna unu nọ, sitenụ nʼobi unu na-ahụrịtanụ onwe unu nʼanya nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.
23 Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. (aiōn g165)
Nʼihi na amụọla unu ọzọ ugbu a, ọ bụghị site na mkpụrụ nke na-emebi emebi, kama site na nke na-apụghị imebi emebi, site nʼokwu Chineke nke dị ndụ ma na-adịgidekwa. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth away.
Nʼihi na, “Mmadụ niile dị ka ahịhịa, ma ebube ha niile dị ka okoko osisi nke ọhịa, ahịhịa na-akpọnwụ, okoko osisi na-achanwụ,
25 But the worde of the Lord endureth for euer: and this is the woorde which is preached among you. (aiōn g165)
ma okwu Onyenwe anyị na-anọgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Okwu ahụ bụkwa oziọma ahụ e zisaara unu. (aiōn g165)
