1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
Pierre, yon apot Jésus Kri, a sila ki rete a letranje yo, ki gaye nan Pont, Galatie, Cappadoce, Asie ak Bithynie, sila ki chwazi davans yo,
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
selon konesans davans a Bondye, Papa a, pa travay Lespri Sen an, pou nou ta kapab obeyi Jésus Kri e vin aspèje avèk san Li: Ke lagras ak lapè kapab pou nou nan pi gran mezi.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;
Beni se Bondye e Papa a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, ki selon gran mizerikòd Li, te fè nou vin ne ankò nan yon esperans lavi pa rezirèksyon a Jésus Kris ki soti nan lanmò a
4 and into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and fadeless, which has been kept in heaven for you
pou jwenn yon eritaj ki enperisab, san tach, ki p ap janm disparèt, ki rezève nan syèl la pou nou
5 who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.
ki pwoteje pa pwisans Bondye a pa lafwa, pou yon sali ki prè pou revele nan dènye tan an.
6 Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
Nan sa, nou rejwi anpil, malgre koulye a pandan yon ti tan, si l nesesè, nou te twouble pa plizyè eprèv,
7 These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
pou prèv lafwa nou an, ki pi presye ke lò, ki malgre eprèv dife a toujou rete perisab, pou nou kapab twouve kòm rezilta, lwanj, laglwa ak lonè a revelasyon Jésus Kri a.
8 Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Epi malgre nou poko wè Li, nou renmen Li, e malgre nou poko wè Li koulye a, men nou kwè nan Li, e rejwi anpil avèk yon jwa ki pa kab eksprime e ki plen ak laglwa
9 as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
ki fè kon rezilta lafwa nou an, sali de nanm nou.
10 Concerning this salvation the Prophets who prophesied regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.
Selon sali sila a, pwofèt yo ki te pwofetize lagras ki te gen pou vini a nou menm nan, te fè rechèch ak ankèt pa yo,
11 They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
pou chèche konnen ki moun, oubyen a kilè Lespri a Kris la anndan yo a, t ap endike lè li te pwofetize soufrans a Kris ak glwa ki t ap swiv yo a.
12 It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.
Li te revele a yo ke se pa pwòp tèt yo ke yo t ap sèvi, men ou menm, nan bagay sa yo ke koulye a, gen tan anonse a nou pa sila ki te preche levanjil a nou menm yo pa Lespri Sen ki te sòti nan syèl la—bagay ke menm zanj yo lanvi konprann.
13 So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Konsa prepare panse nou pou nou kab aji; rete vijilan. Fikse esperans nou nèt sou lagras ki te pote a nou menm nan revelasyon a Jésus Kri a—
14 Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,
Kòm timoun obeyisan pa vin konfòme nou a dezi lachè ke nou te genyen oparavan lè nou te nan inyorans lan,
15 but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,
men tankou Sila Ki Sen ki te rele nou an se pou nou vin sen, osi nan tout konpòtman nou.
16 as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy.
Paske sa ekri: “Nou dwe sen, paske Mwen Sen.”
17 And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
Si nou adrese kòm “Papa”, Sila ki jije san patipri a, selon zèv a chak moun, nou gen pou kondwi tèt nou nan lakrent pandan tan ki rete nou sou tè a.
18 For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;
Epi konsa, konnen ke nou pa t rachte avèk bagay perisab tankou lajan ak lò ki soti nan mod de vi san enpòtans, tankou eritaj de zansèt nou yo,
19 but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.
men avèk san presye, tankou sa ki sòti nan yon jenn mouton san defo, san tach, ki se san a Kris la menm.
20 He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.
Paske Li te deja rekonèt avan fondasyon mond lan, men Li te vin parèt nan dènye tan sa yo pou koz a nou menm
21 Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.
ki pa Li menm kwè nan Bondye ki te leve Li nan lanmò e te bay Li glwa, pou lafwa ak esperans nou ta kapab nan Bondye.
22 Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.
Akoz ke obeyisans a verite a te vin pirifye nanm nou pou yon lanmou sensè anvè frè nou yo, renmen youn lòt avèk yon chalè ki sòti nan kè,
23 For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God. (aiōn g165)
paske nou te ne ankò, pa de semans ki perisab, men ki enperisab, selon pawòl Bondye a ki viv, e ki rete pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
24 For, All flesh is grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,
Paske: “Tout chè tankou zèb, e tout laglwa li tankou flè zèb la. Zèb la fennen, e flè a vin tonbe,
