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,
Nye, Petro, Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolo gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na Mawu ƒe ame tiatia siwo nye amedzrowo le xexea me, ame siwo kaka ɖe Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia kple Bitinia nutowo me,
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.
ame siwo wotia le Mawu, Fofo la ƒe nunya nu, to Gbɔgbɔ la ƒe ŋutikɔklɔ ƒe dɔwɔwɔ me, hena toɖoɖo Yesu Kristo kple eƒe ʋuhehlẽ la me. Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa nanye mia tɔ le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
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,
Woakafu Mawu, ame si nye míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo! Le eƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la ta wòna gbugbɔdzi mí ɖe mɔkpɔkpɔ gbagbe me, to Yesu Kristo ƒe tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome me.
4 To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
Eye wòtsɔ domenyinu si magblẽ o, si malũ xɛ alo aklo o la na mí, domenyinu si wodzra ɖo ɖe dziƒo na mi,
5 Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time.
ame siwo ŋu wotɔ kpɔ ɖo kple Mawu ƒe akpoxɔnu, to xɔse me va se ɖe esime woaɖe ɖeɖe si wodzra ɖo na nuwuwuɣeyiɣiwo la afia.
6 Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
Togbɔ be fifia la, ele na mi be miaxa nu le dodokpɔ ƒomevi geɖewo me hena ɣeyiɣi ʋɛ aɖewo hã la, miele dzidzɔ manyagblɔ kpɔm le mɔkpɔkpɔ sia ta.
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:
Esiawo va mia dzi ale be miaƒe xɔse si xɔ asi wu sika si gblẽna, evɔ wololõe le dzo me hafi, be woakpɔ miaƒe xɔse be enye nyateƒetɔ, ale wòahe kafukafu, ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu vɛ, ne woɖe Yesu Kristo fia.
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,
Togbɔ be miekpɔe kpɔ o hã la, mielɔ̃e, eye togbɔ be miele ekpɔm fifia o hã la, miexɔ edzi se, eye dzidzɔ manyagblɔ si ŋuti ŋutikɔkɔe le la yɔ mia me fũu,
9 Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
elabena miele miaƒe xɔse ƒe taɖodzinu si nye miaƒe luʋɔwo ƒe ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ la xɔm.
10 Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you,
Ɖeɖe sia tae Mawu ƒe nyagblɔɖila siwo ƒo nu tso amenuveve si le mia dzi va ge ŋuti la ku nu gɔme vevie kple beléle tɔxɛ,
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.
hedze agbagba be yewoanya ɣeyiɣi kple nudzɔdzɔ si Kristo ƒe Gbɔgbɔ si le wo me la le asi fiam, esi wògblɔ nya ɖi tso Mesia la ƒe fukpekpewo kple ŋutikɔkɔe si akplɔe ɖo la ŋuti.
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.
Woɖee fia wo be menye woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo subɔm wole o, ke boŋ miawoe, esi woƒo nu le nu siwo wogblɔ na mi azɔ la ŋuti, to ame siwo gblɔ nyanyui la na mi, to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si wodɔ ɖo ɖa tso dziƒo la dzi. Mawudɔlawo gɔ̃ hã di vevie be yewoakpɔ nu siawo.
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,
Eya ta midzra miaƒe tamesusuwo ɖo hena afɔɖeɖe, miɖu mia ɖokuiwo dzi, mitsɔ miaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ katã da ɖe amenuveve si woana mi ne woɖe Yesu Kristo fia la dzi.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance:
Abe vi ɖotowo ene la, migadze ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzro vɔ̃ siwo nɔ mia me, esi mienɔ agbe le numanyamanya me la yome o,
15 But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
ke boŋ abe ale si ame si yɔ mi la le kɔkɔe ene la, miawo hã minɔ kɔkɔe le nu sia nu si miewɔna la me,
16 Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
elabena woŋlɔ ɖi be, “Minɔ kɔkɔe elabena nye la mele kɔkɔe.”
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,
Esi mieyɔa Fofo si drɔ̃a ʋɔnu ame sia ame ƒe dɔ ameŋkumemakpɔmakpɔtɔe la, minɔ agbe abe amedzrowo ene le afi sia le vɔvɔ̃ kɔkɔe me.
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,
Elabena mienya bena menye sika kple klosalo si gblẽna lae wotsɔ xe fe ɖe mia ta heɖe mi tso agbe vlo si mia fofowo gblẽ ɖi na mi la me o,
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
ke boŋ kple Kristo ƒe ʋu xɔasi, ame si nye alẽvi si ŋuti mokaka kple kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o.
20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
Wotiae hafi wova wɔ xexea me, gake woɖee fia le ɣeyiɣi mamlɛtɔ siawo me le mia ta.
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,
To eya amea dzi la, miexɔ Mawu dzi se, ame si fɔe tso ame kukuwo dome, hetsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ɖɔ nɛ, ale miaƒe xɔse kple mɔkpɔkpɔ le Mawu me.
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,
Azɔ esi miekɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu to toɖoɖo nyateƒe la me be lɔlɔ̃ si me alakpa mele o la nanɔ mia si na mia nɔviwo ŋuti la, milɔ̃ mia nɔewo vevie tso dzi me ke.
23 Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. (aiōn g165)
Elabena wogbugbɔ mi gadzi, menye tso ku gbegblẽ me o, ke boŋ tso ku magblẽmagblẽ me, to Mawu ƒe nya si le agbe, eye wònɔa anyi tegbetegbe la me. (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.
Elabena, “Amegbetɔwo katã le abe gbe ene, eye woƒe atsyɔ̃ le abe seƒoƒo le gbe me ene, gbe ƒuna, eye seƒoƒo yrɔna, gena,
