1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman 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 chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
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 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-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 to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been 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 whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
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 Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
Rumal waꞌ rajawaxik kixkiꞌkotik, pune iriqom kꞌi uwach kꞌaxkꞌolal, pa taq we qꞌij kamik.
7 The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing 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 Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
Ri ix kiloqꞌaj ri Jesucristo pune man iwilom uwach, kikojo chi kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kajuluwik ri ikiꞌkotemal.
9 while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
Jeriꞌ, rumal tajin kikꞌamawaꞌj ri ikolotajem rumal ri ikojobꞌal.
10 There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
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 were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.
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 To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.
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 Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
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 And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,
Chixnimanoq jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri akꞌalabꞌ are kenimanik, man je ta kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kixnoꞌjin kanoq nabꞌe are kꞌamajaꞌ iwetaꞌmabꞌal.
15 but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
Man kixmakun taj, rumal cher ri Dios ri xixsikꞌin apanoq tyoxalaj Dios.
16 Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy."
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Chitasa iwibꞌ che ri mak jetaq ri in nutasom wibꞌ che ri mak.
17 And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
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 knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,
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 but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
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 He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
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 are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon 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 Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
Kamik kꞌut chi ixchꞌajchꞌoj chik rumal xinimaj ri qas tzij, pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, qas chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel ichuqꞌabꞌ.
23 For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
24 "All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop 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.
