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,
Nĩ niĩ Petero, mũtũmwo wa Jesũ Kristũ, Ngũmwandĩkĩra marũa maya, inyuĩ arĩa Ngai eyamũrĩire, na mũtũũrĩte mũrĩ ageni gũkũ thĩ, na mũkahurunjũkĩra mabũrũri ma Ponto, na Galatia, na Kapadokia, na Asia, na Bithinia,
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.
o inyuĩ mwathuurirwo kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai Ithe aamũmenyete o mbere, na akamũtheria nĩ ũndũ wa Roho, nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre Jesũ Kristũ, na mũminjaminjĩrio thakame yake: Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra.
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,
Ngai, o we Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, arogoocwo! Ngai nĩatũciarĩte rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciake nyingĩ nĩguo tũgĩe na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩ muoyo, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa Jesũ Kristũ aariũkire akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
Aatũciarire nĩguo tũgĩe na igai rĩrĩa rĩtangĩbutha, kana rĩthũke, kana rĩhwerereke, rĩrĩa mũigĩirwo kũu igũrũ,
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
o inyuĩ mũgitĩirwo nĩ hinya wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũhonokio ũgooka ũrĩa ũhaarĩirio gũkaaguũranĩrio ihinda rĩa mũthia.
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo mũkenagĩra mũno, o na gwatuĩka rĩu nĩmũiguithĩtio kĩeha kahinda kanini nĩkũgerio na magerio ma mĩthemba yothe.
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—
Maũndũ maya mokĩte nĩgeetha wĩtĩkio wanyu woneke nĩ wa goro mũno gũkĩra thahabu, ĩrĩa ĩthiraga o na yakorwo ĩtheragio na mwaki, ningĩ ũmenyeke atĩ nĩ wa ma, na atĩ nĩũkarehe ũgooci, na riiri, na gĩtĩĩo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ Kristũ akaaguũranĩrio.
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—
Nĩmũmwendete o na gũtuĩka mũtirĩ mwamuona; ningĩ mũkamwĩtĩkia o na gũtuĩka rĩu mũtiramuona, na mũkaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno gĩtangĩheanĩka ũhoro wakĩo, o kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riiri,
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmũramũkĩra ũndũ ũrĩa mũtanyaga kuona nĩ ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu, na nĩguo ũhonokio wa ngoro cianyu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Ũhoro ũcio wa ũhonokio-rĩ, nĩguo anabii, arĩa maarathaga ũhoro wa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa warĩ ũũke kũrĩ inyuĩ, maacaragia na kĩyo, na makaũtuĩria na ũmenyereri mũnene,
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.
makĩgeria kũmenya nĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ Roho wa Kristũ ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wao orotaga rĩrĩa aarathaga ũhoro wa kũnyariirĩka gwa Kristũ na riiri ũrĩa ũkaarũmĩrĩra.
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.
Nao nĩmaguũrĩirio atĩ to o ene meetungatagĩra, no nĩ inyuĩ maatungatagĩra, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mwĩrĩtwo rĩu nĩ arĩa maamũhunjĩirie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa watũmirwo kuuma igũrũ. Maũndũ macio nĩmo araika meriragĩria mũno kuona.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩhaarĩirie meciiria-inĩ manyu; tuĩkai andũ a kwĩrigagĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ; na mũige kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩanyu biũ harĩ wega ũrĩa mũkaaheo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ Kristũ akaaguũranĩrio.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
Tuĩkai ciana cia gwathĩka, na mũtigatongoragio nĩ merirĩria mooru marĩa mwatũire namo mbere hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũtaamenyete Ngai.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
No tondũ ũrĩa wamwĩtire nĩ mũtheru-rĩ, o na inyuĩ tuĩkai atheru maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga;
16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Tuĩkai atheru, tondũ o na niĩ ndĩ mũtheru.”
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:
Na rĩrĩ, tondũ inyuĩ mũkayagĩra Ngai mũkĩmwĩtaga Ithe wanyu, o we ũrĩa ũtuagĩra o mũndũ o mũndũ kũringana na wĩra wake ategũthutũkania-rĩ, gĩikaragei mũmwĩtigĩrĩte na mũikarage ta mũrĩ agendi gũkũ thĩ.
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,
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũũĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mwakũũrirwo mũtigane na mũtũũrĩre wa tũhũ ũrĩa mwatigĩirwo nĩ maithe manyu-rĩ, ti indo iria ibuthaga ta betha kana thahabu mwakũũrirwo nacio,
19 but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
no mwakũũrirwo na thakame ya goro mũno ya Kristũ, ũrĩa wahaanaga ta gatũrũme gatarĩ na kĩmeni kana kaũũgũ.
20 He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
Nake nĩwe wathuurĩtwo thĩ ĩtanombwo, no nĩaguũranĩrio mahinda maya ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
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.
Na inyuĩ nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Ngai nĩ ũndũ wake, Ngai ũrĩa wamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ na akĩmũhe riiri, nĩgeetha wĩtĩkio wanyu na mwĩhoko ikorwo irĩ o harĩ Ngai.
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:
Na tondũ rĩu nĩmwĩtheretie nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na mũgatuĩka a kwendana kũna na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wanyu hatarĩ ũhinga-rĩ, inyuĩ ene endanagai biũ na ngoro cianyu.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũciarĩtwo rĩngĩ, no mũticiarĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ mbeũ ĩrĩa ĩbuthaga, no nĩ ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ya kũbutha, na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo na gĩtũũraga tene na tene. (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;
Tondũ rĩrĩ, “Andũ othe mahaana ta nyeki, na ũthaka wao wothe ũhaana ta mahũa ma mũgũnda; nyeki nĩĩhoohaga, namo mahũa magaitĩka,
