< 1 Peter 1 >
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners of the dispersion, the chosen ones, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
Ri Pedro, taqoꞌn rech ri Jesucristo, kutaq rutzil kiwach ri e chaꞌtalik rumal ri Cristo, xuqujeꞌ konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Ponto, Galacia, Capadocia, Asia xuqujeꞌ Bitinia.
2 This is according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace be to you, and may your peace increase.
Ri e chaꞌtalik rumal ri kwinel laj uchak ri Dios Tataxel pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, ri xetyoxirisataj rumal xkinimaj ri Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ xeꞌtortajik rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel, kinwayeꞌj chi kikꞌamawaꞌj nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Qꞌijilaꞌtal ubꞌiꞌ ri Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, xa rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ xubꞌan chaqe xujalax chik junmul pa ri ukꞌastajibꞌal ri Jesucristo rech jeriꞌ kꞌo jun kꞌaslik qakuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx
4 This is for an inheritance that will not perish, will not become stained, and will not fade away. It is reserved in heaven for you.
xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri qechabꞌal ri man katukin taj, man chꞌuluj taj, xuqujeꞌ man sachel taj uwach. Ri echabꞌal riꞌ, yaktal chiꞌwe pa ri kaj.
5 You are protected by God's power through faith, for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last times.
Rumal cher ix riꞌ ri ixchajitalik rumal ri ukwinem ri Dios rumal ri ikojobꞌal kꞌa chopan na ri qꞌij are kakꞌut chiꞌwach ri kolotajem pa taq ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij.
6 You are very glad about this, even though it is now necessary for you to feel sadness in many different troubles.
Rumal waꞌ rajawaxik kixkiꞌkotik, pune iriqom kꞌi uwach kꞌaxkꞌolal, pa taq we qꞌij kamik.
7 This is for the proving of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire. This happens so that your faith will be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revealing of Jesus Christ.
Ri qꞌana pwaq, pune xaq sachel uwach, pa ri qꞌaqꞌ kabꞌan wi na rilik we qas utz. Je xuqujeꞌ ri ikojobꞌal nim na ubꞌanik choch ri qꞌana pwaq, kil na we qas utz xuqujeꞌ we taqalik kaya nim uqꞌij are kape ri Jesucristo.
8 You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now, but you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.
Ri ix kiloqꞌaj ri Jesucristo pune man iwilom uwach, kikojo chi kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kajuluwik ri ikiꞌkotemal.
9 You are now receiving for yourselves the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Jeriꞌ, rumal tajin kikꞌamawaꞌj ri ikolotajem rumal ri ikojobꞌal.
10 The prophets searched and inquired carefully about this salvation, about the grace that would be yours.
Ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios xkitzijoj ri toqꞌobꞌ ri yaktalik ri kaya na chiꞌwe, aꞌreꞌ xkisolij rij jas ubꞌanik we koltajem riꞌ.
11 They searched to know about whom and when the Spirit of Christ in them was speaking to them. This was happening as he was telling them in advance about the sufferings of Christ and the glorious things after that.
Are xkaj xkichꞌobꞌ rij jachike qꞌotaj xuqujeꞌ jas taq riꞌ ri kꞌaxal ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Cristo, ri kꞌo chike aꞌreꞌ. Ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij chike jas ri kꞌax ri kuriq na ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ ri juluwem ri kape na.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told to you by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.
Xqꞌalajisax chkiwach chi man aꞌreꞌ taj tajin kakipatanij kibꞌ, xane are tajin kixkipatanij ix. Xkitzijoj ri utz laj tzij ri katzijox chiꞌwe kamik rukꞌ ri ukwinem ri Uxlabꞌixel ri xtaq loq pa ri kaj. Ri angelibꞌ sibꞌalaj kakirayij rilik we jastaq riꞌ.
13 So gird up the loins of your mind. Be sober. Put your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Rumal riꞌ qas chibꞌana ronojel ri jastaq rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal, qas chichomaj ri kibꞌano, chi jeqebꞌa ikꞌuꞌx pa ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kayaꞌtaj na chiꞌwe are kape ri Cristo.
14 As obedient children, do not conform yourselves to the desires that you followed when you were ignorant.
Chixnimanoq jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri akꞌalabꞌ are kenimanik, man je ta kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kixnoꞌjin kanoq nabꞌe are kꞌamajaꞌ iwetaꞌmabꞌal.
15 But as the one who called you is holy, you, too, be holy in your whole behavior.
Man kixmakun taj, rumal cher ri Dios ri xixsikꞌin apanoq tyoxalaj Dios.
16 For it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Chitasa iwibꞌ che ri mak jetaq ri in nutasom wibꞌ che ri mak.
17 So if you call “Father” the one who judges impartially and according to each person's work, go through the time of your journey in reverence.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher are kibꞌij iTat che ri kakwinik kuqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel, chimochꞌo bꞌa iwibꞌ rumal cher xaq ix ikꞌowel choch ri uwachulew.
18 You know that it was not with perishable silver or gold that you have been redeemed from the foolish behavior that you learned from your fathers.
Iwetaꞌm chi xa xixesax loq pa ri kꞌaslemal ri xiwechabꞌej kanoq chike ri itat inan ojer. Man qꞌana pwaq man saq pwaq taj xloqꞌbꞌex iwe,
19 Instead, you have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, who was like a lamb without blemish or spot.
xane rukꞌ ri jeꞌl laj ukikꞌel ri Cristo ri paqal rajil, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri jun laj chij ri man kꞌo ta uyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ man chꞌuluj taj.
20 Christ was chosen before the foundation of the world, but now he has been revealed to you in these last times.
Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri xuchapleꞌj itoꞌik pa taq we kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij riꞌ, ri xchaꞌloq rumal ri Dios are majoꞌq katiktaj loq ri uwachulew.
21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
Xa rumal ri Jesús, kikojo chi ri Dios xukꞌastajisaj ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xunimarisaj uqꞌij, rumal laꞌ wetaꞌm chi ri ikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx jeqel chirij ri Dios.
22 You made your souls pure by obedience to the truth. This was for the purpose of sincere brotherly love; so love one another earnestly from the heart.
Kamik kꞌut chi ixchꞌajchꞌoj chik rumal xinimaj ri qas tzij, pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, qas chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel ichuqꞌabꞌ.
23 You have been born again, not from perishable seed, but from imperishable seed, through the living and remaining word of God. (aiōn )
Ix xixalax chik junmul, man ix rijaꞌl ta chik winaq ri xaq kamel xane maj ikamik rumal cher ix rijaꞌl chi ri utzij ri Dios ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq: (aiōn )
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the wild flower of the grass. The grass dries up, and the flower falls off,
Konojel ri winaq xaq jer e kꞌo qꞌayes, ri kijeꞌlal junam rukꞌ ri kotzꞌiꞌj ri kakꞌiy cho ri saq; are kachaqiꞌjar ri qꞌayes katzaq ri ukotzꞌiꞌjal.
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” This is the good news that was announced to you. (aiōn )
Are kꞌu ri utzij ri Dios jeqel chibꞌe qꞌij saq. Are waꞌ ri tzij ri utz laj tzij ri tzijotal chiꞌwe. (aiōn )
