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].
Ako si Pedro, apostol ni Jesu-Cristo, ngadto sa mga langyaw nga nagkatibulaag, ang mga pinili, sa tibuok Pontus, Galacia, Capadocia, Asya, Bitinya.
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.
Kini sumala sa plano nang daan sa Dios nga Amahan. Kini pinaagi sa pagbalaan alang sa Espiritu alang sa pagmasinugtanon ug alang sa pagwisikwisik sa dugo ni Jesu-Cristo. Hinaot ang grasya maanaa kaninyo, ug ang inyong kalinaw mouswag.
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].
Hinaot nga ang Dios Amahan sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo magpanalangin. Sa dako niyang kaluoy, gihatagan niya kita ug bag-ong kinabuhi alang sa pagsalig sa usa ka panulundon. Kini nga panulundon pinaagi sa pagkabanhaw ni Jesu-Cristo gikan sa mga patay.
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.
Kini alang sa panulundon nga dili mahanaw, dili mamantsahan, ug dili molubad. Kini giandam sa langit alang kaninyo.
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].
Gipanalipdan kamo sa gahom sa Dios pinaagi sa pagtuo, alang sa kaluwasan nga andam ipadayag sa kataposang panahon.
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]
Naglipay kamo pag-ayo mahitungod niini, bisan karon gikinahanglan ninyo nga bation ang kaguol sa daghan nga nagkalainlaing mga kasamok.
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.
Tungod kini sa pagpamatuod sa inyong pagtuo, nga mas bililhon pa kay sa bulawan nga mahanaw, bisan nga gisulayan kini pinaagi sa kalayo. Kini mahitabo aron nga ang inyong pagtuo mosangpot sa pagdayeg, sa himaya, ug dungog sa pagpadayag ni Jesu-Cristo.
8 You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
Wala kamo makakita kaniya, apan gihigugma ninyo siya. Wala ninyo siya nakita karon, apan mituo kamo kaniya ug hilabihan ang inyong kalipay nga dili malitok, ang mahimayaong kalipay.
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].
Karon nadawat ninyo alang sa inyong kaugalingon ang resulta sa inyong pagtuo, ang kaluwasan sa inyong mga kalag.
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.
Ang mga propeta nagsusi ug nangutana pag-ayo mahitungod niini nga kaluwasan, mahitungod sa grasya nga maanaa kaninyo.
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.
Nagsusi sila aron masayod mahitungod kang kinsa ug kanus-a ang Espiritu ni Cristo nga anaa kanila nga nakigsulti ngadto kanila. Nahitabo kini ingon nga siya makigsulti nang daan kanila mahitungod sa pag-antos ni Cristo ug ang mahimayaong mga butang human niana.
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].
Kini gipadayag ngadto sa mga propeta nga wala sila nag-alagad alang sa ilang kaugalingon, apan alang kaninyo. Kini mao ang ilang gibuhat mahitungod sa mga butang nga gisulti kaninyo pinaagi niadtong gipasabot sa Balaang Espiritu, nga gipadala gikan sa langit. Kini mao ang mga butang nga bisan ang mga anghel nagtinguha nga mapadayagan.
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].
Busa andama ang inyong mga hunahuna. Pagmalinawon. Ibutang ang tanang nga pagsalig diha sa grasya nga pagadad-on nganha kaninyo sa pagpadayag ni Jesu-Cristo.
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].
Ingon nga matinumanon nga mga anak, ayaw ipahiuyon ang inyong kaugalingon sa mga tinguha nga inyong gisunod sa dihang kamo mga wala pay alamag.
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,
Apan ingon nga ang nagtawag kaninyo balaan, kamo, usab, magbalaan sa tibuok ninyong pamatasan.
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).”
Kay kini nahisulat, “Pagbalaan, kay ako balaan man.”
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].
Ug kung mosangpit kamo sa “Amahan” nga mao ang magahukom nga walay pagpalabi sumala sa binuhatan sa matag-usa, gamita ang inyong panahon sa pagpanaw diha sa balaanong pagtahod.
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.
Nasayod kamo nga dili tungod sa mangahanaw nga plata o bulawan nga kamo natubos gikan sa binuang nga pamatasan nga inyong natun-an gikan sa inyong mga amahan.
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].
Hinuon, natubos kamo pinaagi sa hamili nga dugo ni Cristo, nga sama sa usa ka karnero nga walay buling o mansa.
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.
Si Cristo gipili ng daan sa wala pa gibuhat ang kalibotan, apan karon gipadayag siya kaninyo niining kataposan nga mga panahon.
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].
Pinaagi kaniya mituo kamo sa Dios, nga nagbanhaw kaniya gikan sa mga patay ug nganha kaniya nga naghatag sa himaya aron nga ang inyong pagtuo ug pagsalig maanaa sa Dios.
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.
Gihimo ninyo nga putli ang inyong mga kalag pinaagi sa pagtuman sa kamatuoran. Kini alang sa katuyoan sa tinuoray nga inigsoong gugma, busa higugmaa ang matag-usa nga gikan sa kinailadman sa kasingkasing.
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)
Natawo na kamo pag-usab, dili gikan sa madunot nga binhi, apan gikan sa dili madunot nga binhi, pinaagi sa pagkinabuhi ug pagpabilin sa pulong sa Dios. (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,
Kay “ang tanan nga unod sama sa sagbot, ug ang tanang himaya niini sama sa bulak sa sagbot. Ang sagbot malaya, ug mangahulog ang bulak,
