1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speaking,
Ka meme don wawu, iche, iwri, ingu, meme-tre.
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that all of you may grow thereby:
Na mri bi tsitsa (kpran mri), wa imma sisan ndindima, nakii bi gbron ni zren nkoh Irji,
3 If so be all of you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
to-iki bi lla'to ndi Irji bi.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Ye niwu ahi tita wa'ndi ba kamba niwu, u ahikii mba Irji chuw nda banwu nji mgbamgba meh.
5 All of you also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
U biyi ngame bi he naa tita wa ani vrih wa ba meu ni itre Irji, dohn dun ba nji'tre Irji ndindime ni Yesu Kristi.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
Llan tre: “Tomba, mi ka-siiyo nitu zayon tita u mummle'a, wa Irji chuw nji mgbaameh. Indi wa a kpa nyimme ni wu'a ana kpa-ishan na.”
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Biyi biwa bi kpa nyime ni wu, daraja'a a umbi mba. U, “titawa bi mmeh ba kamba niwu'a, kima nihe itu tita'a” -
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, (logos) being disobedient: unto which also they were appointed.
“tita wa ni yo kubu za.” Ba kubu za nda kunyre ni tre Irji, wa nakii Irji tiu.
9 But all of you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, an exclusive people; that all of you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Bi mri Bachi Irji, Wawu chu yi, indi wa bi sohn ni'koh Irji, biyi mba bi hla wawuh ikpe wa Irji wa a chu yi rji ni bhu yie ni mi kpanllu ma.
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Ni kogohn Irji ana toh yi na, u zizan bihe indi Irji. Ni-gohn bina he ni jinkai na, u zizan bi he niwu.
11 Dearly beloved, I plead to you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Mri ya, mi yo yi ndi bre yi dun yi ka memme'dri chuwo, wa-mba na zou na.
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Bi ka vu-tu mbi ndi zrehn bi, u, to-ba wa-nkoh u tre memme ni tu-mbi, ba-na feu na, nda kuma to ndi bi ti bi nda gbire-san Bachi ni vi u ye Ma.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Wo-tre bi ninkon mbi nitu inde Irji. Wo ba ichu mbi,
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
ni bi ninkon ni gonati, babayi ba gbi-tohn bi ti memme nda gbire-san bi ti ndindi.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing all of you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Irji soun naki, ndi nitu ti ndindi, bi ka nyu indi bi tre mkprah.
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a coat of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Na indi biwa ba sohn u tu-mba, na dun-wa mba yo yi ti memme na, bi ka ki na bi ti-ndu ni-koh Irji.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Toh kpa-mbi ni-nfutu. Nji kpa-mbi bi. Klu sisri Irji. Toh ichu mbi ni-nfutu.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse.
Mri koh, no ba tti'koh mbi ninkon. ti-ndu mbi bi ni tti'koh mbi bi ndindi, ni bi memme ba.
19 For this deserves giving of thanks, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
Indi wa ana dun iya ni illo-kpa vuwu yoga na nitu a toh Irji ani kpa iyra.
20 For what glory is it, if, when all of you be buffeted for your faults, all of you shall take it patiently? but if, when all of you do well, and suffer for it, all of you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Ahi-nge a bi ma toh wu ti memme ma ndi kpa memme'a? U ahi ikpe wa'abi ni bubu Irji, to-wu ti ndindime u ba haun ni memme.
21 For even hereunto were all of you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that all of you should follow his steps:
A naki mba Irji yo yi, u Yesu ngame a ti-ya nitu mbi. A ti ki nda tsro yi-nkoh wa bi hu.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Ana ti-kpe na, u nda na ti-che ko-mkpu ri na.
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
Ba mmreu, u ana tre-kpe na. Ba nu-ya, u ana wa tsutsu na, A ka-ttu Ma noh dun ba vuu, u ana ti kpe na.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes all of you were healed.
Yesu ni kima a ban lla tre mbu ni-kpa ma hi ni grahn nkunkroh, dun ki na la sohn nitu lla-tre na, naki ki sohn ni-nkoh wa'abi. Nitu inkpah ma ki fe sikpa.
25 For all of you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
U wawu mbi, bi si zren na ntma wa ba kado, u zizan bi kumaye nitu-nkohn u krju ntma'a uwa a hu ni suron mbi'a.
