1 Peter 1
1 I, Peter, who [have been appointed by] Jesus Christ {one whom Jesus Christ [has appointed]} to be an apostle, [am writing this letter] to you believers whom God has chosen to belong to him. [You are living] in [the Roman provinces of] Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. [Just like the Jews who lived in Israel long ago were] scattered [to other countries far from their homes] [MET], you now live [far from] heaven, which is [your true home].
Yesus Kiristoosan kiitetida pixxirosape, Asa biittan beten dizaytas Phanxoosen, Galatiyan, Qepedooqiyan, Isiyanine Bitaniya biittan laaleti diza intes,
2 God our Father previously chose you, and his Spirit has set you apart in order that you would obey Jesus Christ. He did that in order that [just like Moses] sprinkled [the Israelites with blood when God established the old covenant] [MET], [Jesus would establish his new covenant with you] with the blood [that flowed from his body when he died]. May God act very kindly to you, and may he give you much [inner] peace.
Aaway Xoossi kase intena erida mala dooretidaytas, Yesus Kiristoosas azazistanasine inte iza suuthan aracetidi geeyana mala xiillo ayanan dumattida intes kiyatethine sarotethi daro.
3 Praise God, who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because he has been very merciful to [us, he has given us new life] [MET]. Because he has caused Jesus Christ to become alive again after he died, he has enabled us to live very confidently; that is, to fully expect to receive the things [that God/he has promised to give us].
Yesus Kiristoosay hayqope dendida gishshi nuusu deyo gidida ufayssi immidayssi ba gita maarotethan nuna bees ooratha nayta histidayss nu Goda Yesus Kiristoosa Aaway Xoossi galateto.
4 He has enabled us to expect to receive an absolutely imperishable/indestructible [TRI] inheritance that has been {that [God] has} preserved in heaven for us.
Izi dhayontta, mooretonttane ceegontta laataso intes salon giigisi wothides.
5 God, by his mighty power, is guarding you as you trust in Jesus. [He is keeping you safe so] that he may, at the end of the time in which we now live (OR, when Jesus returns), completely deliver you [from Satan’s power].
Inteka wursetha gallasan buro qonccana atotethas ammano geedon Xoossa wolqan naagetidista.
6 You rejoice because of what will happen then, but now you are grieving for a short time while [God is allowing] you to be tested {[various things to] test you [MET]}, [as precious metals are tested] {[someone tests precious metals]} [to see if they are pure]. [These trials that you are experiencing are necessary]
Ha7i guutha wodes duma duma paaceti intena waayssikoka inte hessan ufa7ettite.
7 to prove that you really do trust in Jesus. His proving that will be more valuable than gold, [which does not last forever even] though it is purified [by being put] {someone tries to make it pure by [putting it]} [in a hot] fire. As a result of your passing the test [and proving that you really do trust in Jesus], God will honor you very highly [TRI] when Jesus Christ comes again.
Hessi he paacezi inte bolla gakizay inte ammanozi tumu gididayssa qonccisanaskko. Dhayana worqayka taman paacettes. Worqape aadhi boncho gidida inte ammanoyka hessaththo paacistanas besses. Hessi he paacetida inte ammanoy Yesus Kiristoosay qoncciza gallas galatas, bonchosine sabas intena gaathana.
8 You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
Inte Yesus Kiristoosa ayfera beyontta aggikoka inte iza doosista. Ha7ika inte iza beyontta aggikoka iza ammaneta; Coo qaalan qonccisana danda7ontta gita boncho ufayss inte ufa7etista.
9 because you are experiencing the result of your believing in him; that is, [God] is saving you [SYN] [from the guilt of your sins].
Inte naagiza inte shempoyss atoteth inte ammanon demmidista.
10 As for those who [long ago] spoke messages that God had revealed to them about how God would act kindly toward you in ways which you did not deserve, they (investigated very carefully/tried very hard to learn) [DOU] about how God would save you.
He atotethaza gishshi intes imistana kiyatethas kase nabeti lo7ethi wozinape pilig xeellida.
11 They wanted to know whom the Spirit of Christ that was in them was referring to, and what time he was talking about, when he told beforehand that the Messiah would suffer [and die], and that glorious/wonderful things would happen [to him and to us] afterwards.
Kase isttan diza Kiristoosa ayanay Xoossafe tiyettidayssa bolla gakana waayezane he waayezape guye izi demmana bonchoza gishshi kase bessi wothides. Istti qass hessi wurikka ayide waani hananakone yuushi qopida.
12 It was revealed to {[God] told} them that it was not for their own sake that he was revealing these things to them, but that it was for your sake. It was these things that were proclaimed to you by those who told you the message [about Christ {that those who told you the message about Christ proclaimed to you]}. They proclaimed these things to you because the Holy Spirit whom [God] sent from heaven [enabled them to do that]. And even angels would like to know more about these [truths about how God saves us].
He kase nabeti intes oothida attin istti bees oothonttayssi isttas qonccen erettides. Istti intes oothiday bolla salope kiitetida xiillo ayana baggara ha7i intes miishiracho qaala yootida asati intes yootidayssa qonccisanasikko. Hessa qaala kiitanchatika beyanas amottida.
13 Therefore, [prepare your minds] [MET] [as people] fasten their belts around their waists [to prepare to work]. [What I mean is that] you should (discipline your minds/control what you think about), and by doing that conduct your lives fully and confidently expecting to receive the good things that [God will] kindly [do for you] when Jesus Christ returns [from heaven].
Hessa gishshi inte inte wozina suurisidi oothos giigetite. Wogara deyite. Yesus Kiristoosay qoncciza wode inte iza kiyatetha demmanas intes kumetha ufayssi deyo.
14 [And because you should obey your heavenly Father] [SIM], as children [ought to] obey their fathers [here on earth], do not do the evil things that you used to desire to do when you did not know [God’s truth].
Inte azazetiza nayta gididi erontta dishe inte kase intes diza iitta qofa kaallopite.
15 Instead, just like God, the one who chose you [to belong to him], is (holy/separate from evil), you also must be (holy/separate from evil) in everything that you do,
Intena xeeygida Xoossi duuma gidida mala inteka inte duussan wurson duumatite.
16 because it is {[someone/Moses] has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], “You must be (holy/separate from evil) because I am (holy/separate from evil).”
Gaasoyka “Tani duuma gidida gishshi inteka duuma gidite” geeteti geesha maxaafan kase xaafetides.
17 God is the one who (impartially/without favoritism) judges what each person does. Since you call him ‘Father’, live (reverently/with great respect for him) during the time that you are living here on earth. [While you are living here, you are] like exiles/foreigners [MET] [because you are away from heaven, which is your true home].
Oonaka duuma shaaki maadontta issa issas izade ootho mala piridiza Xoossa “Izi nu Aawakko” giidi inte xeeygizazi gidiko hayssa alamezan inte imathene bete asi gidi diza wode wurson izas babbite.
18 [Live reverently] because you know that it was not with things that will not last forever, things like gold and silver, that [God] bought you to free you from your useless life-style that you learned from your ancestors.
Inte kase inte Aawatape laatida coo mela hada duusafe wozettiday dhayiza biran woykko worqan gidonttayssa inte ereista.
19 Instead, [it was] with the precious blood of Christ [that flowed from his body when he died that God bought you. Christ’s death was a perfect sacrifice for us] [MET], [like] the lambs that [the Jewish priests sacrificed were] perfect, without any blemishes/defects/flaws or spots [DOU].
Gido attin inte wozetiday iittayne wothoy iza bolla bayinda geesha dorisa mala gidida Kiristoosa boncho suuthankko.
20 Christ was chosen [by God] {[God] chose Christ} before the world was created {[he] created the world}. But it was not until now, when the time [in which we are living will soon] end, that he was revealed for your sake.
Izi erettiday hayssi alamezi medhetanape kase gidishin ha7i qass wursetha woden intes qoncides.
21 Because of what Christ has done, you are trusting in God, who caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and greatly honored him. As a result, God is the one in whom you are trusting and confidently expecting [that he will do great things for you].
Intes ammanoyne inte hidotay Xoossan gidana mala Yesus Kiristoosa baggara he iza hayqope denthidi izas booncho immida Xoossan inte ammanettista.
22 Because you have been made pure by obeying the truth, with the result that you sincerely love your fellow believers, continue to love each other earnestly and sincerely/wholeheartedly.
Inte ammanizayta suure wozinape siiqana mala tumas azazetethan inte inte asatetha geeshidista. Hessa gishshi inte inte giddon issay issara lo7ethi siiqettite.
23 [I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
Inte nam7antho yeelettiday medhinas minni diza dhayontta deyo Xoossa qaalan dhayontta zereththafe attin dhayiza zereththafe gidena. (aiōn g165)
24 [We know that this is true] because, [as the prophet Isaiah wrote], All people [will die] [SIM], like grass [dies]. And all the greatness/honor that people have [will not last forever], like the flowers [SIM] [that grow up] in the grass [do not last long]. The grass withers and the flowers die,
Geesha maxaafay giza mala “Asho mayday wurikka maata malakko, Iza bonchoyka wurikka wora ciisha malako, Maatayka meles, ciishayka qoqopettes.
