1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Pita, Manzo Yesu Kristi, hi ni bi tsri wawu'u, ni wa ba chu ba ni-gbu Pontus, Galashiya, Kappodosiya, Ashiya ni Bitiniya.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
A hi tie u Irji - Tietie wa'a toh ko shishi'a, nda tie ndu ni Ruhuma u wo tre mba u iyi Yesu Kristi wa'a ka-vra. Ndu Zizih hu'yi, u'si suron mbi ndu babrahn.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Irji ni'tti Bachi mbu ndu kpa gbre-san. Ni Khikle llo suron ma, a nnota ingrji să ma ni yo suron ni tashimme Yesu Kristi.
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
Gado yi a wa ana gla na, ana tie memme na, nda na khle na. Ba mlau zi ni yiwu ni shulu.
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Irji hrawu ni gbengble ma ni'wa wu nyime ni kpa chuwo wa ba tsoro ni'nton bi khle.
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
Bi ngiri kpukpo me ni wu, duk ni wa a mla bi, na he wiye me nitu gbugbu ya-a.
7 that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed—
Iwayi tsro suron kpa nyime mbi, a bi zan zinariya wa ani tie meme'a, ko ba goun ni llu. A tie to'mba dun suron'mbi dun fe gbire-san, daraja mba nzu suron ivi wa ba tsuro Yesu Kristi'a.
8 whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory—
Bi rihen towu, u bi sonwu. Bina towu zizan na, u bi kpa nyime niwu ndi ngiri wa'a zan wa bana tre-e na.
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Bi ki kpa ɖï mbi zizahn yi wa'ahe nitu yo'suron mbi, wa ani kpa yi chuwo.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Ni tu chu'chuwo mbi'a, Anabawa ba bă hla tre alheri wa ani ye ni yi'a, ba frowa nda froya sren-me,
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
Ba wá ba toh ka ba nha u ntoh wa Ruhu Kristi nimi mba sia tre ni ba-a. U wayi asi ti ka wa asi hla ni bawu nitu iya u Kristi ni kikkle kpi wa ba ye ni gohn.
12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Ba nhara-a bawu ndi bana ki ti ndu'a u mba na, amma bi yi, wa ba tre nitu kpi wa ba hla yiwu'a ni nyu biwa ba bla tre Irji ni yiwu ni zo Ruhu Irji wa a rji shu'a - ikpi wa Malaiku ba wa to'a.
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
U bi ka lo suron mbi nji. Sohn nchen meh. Yo suron nitu Aleri wa ba njiye ni yiwu ni ntoh wa ba bwu ni yiwu Yesu Kristi.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
Na immri bi woh-tre, na yo tu-mbi ti kpe wa bi si ta ti ni ntoh wa bina toh Irji na.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
Na wawu wa a yo yi son ni nkinklah suron, biyi ngameh ban nkinklah suron'a ni-ti-mbi.
16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
Ba nha ndi, son ni nkinklah suron, u Me ngameh mi he ni nkinklah suron.
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:
U to bi yo “iti” wawu yi ni yi sheriya ni ko-nha nda na ya shishi njo na, njiu mgbamgbah ni zren meh.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Bi to ndi ana ni silva ko gold wa ani gla mba A kpa yi chuwo rji ni memme ti nkprah wa bi vu-rji ni ba ti-mbi na.
19 but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
Naki, A kpa yi chuwo ni iyi u Kristi, wa-a na he ni lla-tre mpempe meh na.
20 He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
Irji chu Kristi rji ni memmle wa-a yo nchi u ti mgbumgblu'a, u a bwu ni yiwu ni ntoh bi wa ba kle yi.
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Wawu yi bwu nkoh u kpa Irji ni tawu, wa A nzuw rji nimi biwa ba kyu u nda nu ruron u chu, nitu kii yo suron mbi ni he tu-nkoh Irji.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:
Bi kpa suron mbi du kpan nitu bi wo tre njanji'a. Wayi he nitu son u njanji u mmri vayi; bi ka son kpa-mbi rji nimi suron mbi.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
Ba ngrji yi ngari, ana rji ni bi wa-ani ti memme na, a rji ni bi wa-ana ti memme na, ni kii bi kpa vri mba imbru tre Irji'a. (aiōn g165)
24 For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
U “ikpa yi he na giga, ibi ngame he na u flawa u giga. Giga ba ba kyu, u flawa ba kuhle,
