1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,
Ka meme don wawu, iche, iwri, ingu, meme-tre.
2 As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Na mri bi tsitsa (kpran mri), wa imma sisan ndindima, nakii bi gbron ni zren nkoh Irji,
3 If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
to-iki bi lla'to ndi Irji bi.
4 To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,
Ye niwu ahi tita wa'ndi ba kamba niwu, u ahikii mba Irji chuw nda banwu nji mgbamgba meh.
5 Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
U biyi ngame bi he naa tita wa ani vrih wa ba meu ni itre Irji, dohn dun ba nji'tre Irji ndindime ni Yesu Kristi.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Llan tre: “Tomba, mi ka-siiyo nitu zayon tita u mummle'a, wa Irji chuw nji mgbaameh. Indi wa a kpa nyimme ni wu'a ana kpa-ishan na.”
7 To you therefore who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Biyi biwa bi kpa nyime ni wu, daraja'a a umbi mba. U, “titawa bi mmeh ba kamba niwu'a, kima nihe itu tita'a” -
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, [even to them] who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.
“tita wa ni yo kubu za.” Ba kubu za nda kunyre ni tre Irji, wa nakii Irji tiu.
9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Bi mri Bachi Irji, Wawu chu yi, indi wa bi sohn ni'koh Irji, biyi mba bi hla wawuh ikpe wa Irji wa a chu yi rji ni bhu yie ni mi kpanllu ma.
10 Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Ni kogohn Irji ana toh yi na, u zizan bihe indi Irji. Ni-gohn bina he ni jinkai na, u zizan bi he niwu.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Mri ya, mi yo yi ndi bre yi dun yi ka memme'dri chuwo, wa-mba na zou na.
12 Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Bi ka vu-tu mbi ndi zrehn bi, u, to-ba wa-nkoh u tre memme ni tu-mbi, ba-na feu na, nda kuma to ndi bi ti bi nda gbire-san Bachi ni vi u ye Ma.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
Wo-tre bi ninkon mbi nitu inde Irji. Wo ba ichu mbi,
14 Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
ni bi ninkon ni gonati, babayi ba gbi-tohn bi ti memme nda gbire-san bi ti ndindi.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Irji soun naki, ndi nitu ti ndindi, bi ka nyu indi bi tre mkprah.
16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Na indi biwa ba sohn u tu-mba, na dun-wa mba yo yi ti memme na, bi ka ki na bi ti-ndu ni-koh Irji.
17 Honor all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Toh kpa-mbi ni-nfutu. Nji kpa-mbi bi. Klu sisri Irji. Toh ichu mbi ni-nfutu.
18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Mri koh, no ba tti'koh mbi ninkon. ti-ndu mbi bi ni tti'koh mbi bi ndindi, ni bi memme ba.
19 For this [is] thank-worthy, if a man for conscience towards God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.
Indi wa ana dun iya ni illo-kpa vuwu yoga na nitu a toh Irji ani kpa iyra.
20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.
Ahi-nge a bi ma toh wu ti memme ma ndi kpa memme'a? U ahi ikpe wa'abi ni bubu Irji, to-wu ti ndindime u ba haun ni memme.
21 For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
A naki mba Irji yo yi, u Yesu ngame a ti-ya nitu mbi. A ti ki nda tsro yi-nkoh wa bi hu.
22 Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Ana ti-kpe na, u nda na ti-che ko-mkpu ri na.
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
Ba mmreu, u ana tre-kpe na. Ba nu-ya, u ana wa tsutsu na, A ka-ttu Ma noh dun ba vuu, u ana ti kpe na.
24 Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
Yesu ni kima a ban lla tre mbu ni-kpa ma hi ni grahn nkunkroh, dun ki na la sohn nitu lla-tre na, naki ki sohn ni-nkoh wa'abi. Nitu inkpah ma ki fe sikpa.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
U wawu mbi, bi si zren na ntma wa ba kado, u zizan bi kumaye nitu-nkohn u krju ntma'a uwa a hu ni suron mbi'a.
