1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered throughout 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 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: 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 abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by 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 inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not 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 are kept by the power of God through faith to 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 In this ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through various temptations:
Bi ngiri kpukpo me ni wu, duk ni wa a mla bi, na he wiye me nitu gbugbu ya-a.
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
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 having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable 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 end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Bi ki kpa ɖï mbi zizahn yi wa'ahe nitu yo'suron mbi, wa ani kpa yi chuwo.
10 Of this salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should 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 what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them did signify, when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
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 whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the 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 gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
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, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts 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 as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all your behaviour;
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 ye holy; for I am holy.
Ba nha ndi, son ni nkinklah suron, u Me ngameh mi he ni nkinklah suron.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in 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 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain way of life received by tradition 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 the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Naki, A kpa yi chuwo ni iyi u Kristi, wa-a na he ni lla-tre mpempe meh na.
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for you,
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 by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; 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 ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to a sincere love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with 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 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (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 as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away:
U “ikpa yi he na giga, ibi ngame he na u flawa u giga. Giga ba ba kyu, u flawa ba kuhle,
