1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Saa krataa yi fi Yesu Kristo somafo Petro nkyɛn, Ɔde kɔma Onyankopɔn nnipa a wayi wɔn a wɔabɔ ahwete sɛ ahɔho kɔ Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia ne Bitinia amantam mu no.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
Wɔnam Agya Onyankopɔn botae so na woyii mo na wɔnam ne Honhom so tew mo ho sɛ munni Yesu Kristo akyi na ɛnam so ama ne mogya no atew mo ho: Adom ne asomdwoe a ɛdɔɔso nka mo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no ase. Esiane nʼahummɔbɔ dodow nti, ɔnam nyan a onyan Yesu Kristo fii owu mu no so maa yɛn nkwa foforo. Eyi ma yenya anidaso a ase atim,
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
enti yɛrehwɛ anim sɛ yebenya nhyira dodow a Onyankopɔn akora a ɔde bɛma ne mma no bi. Ɔde asie wɔ ɔsoro ama mo, efisɛ hɔ de, ɛremporɔw anaa ɛrensɛe na ɛrempa nso.
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Na Onyankopɔn gyina ne tumi kɛse no so bɛhwɛ sɛ mubedu hɔ wɔ asomdwoe mu na mo nsa aka, efisɛ mugye no di. Ɛbɛyɛ mo de nna a edi akyiri no mu ama obiara ahu.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ebia ɛbɛba mprempren, esiane ɔhaw bebree a mobɛfa mu no nti, mo werɛ bɛhow de, nanso momma mo ani nnye saa asɛm yi ho.
7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Ɔhaw ba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobehu sɛ mo gyidi no yɛ kann. Sikakɔkɔɔ a wotumi sɛe no no mpo, wɔde ogya sɔ hwɛ, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɔ mo gyidi a ɛsom bo kyɛn sikakɔkɔɔ no hwɛ hu sɛ ebetumi agyina ana. Ɛno ansa na da a Yesu Kristo bɛba no, mubenya anuonyam.
8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munhu Yesu de, nanso modɔ no. Munhu no mprempren de, nanso mugye no di. Anigye a moanya no boro so,
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
efisɛ mo nsa renka gyidi so mfaso a ɛyɛ mo kra nkwagye no.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Saa nkwagye yi na adiyifo no de boasetɔ hwehwɛɛ mu, hyɛɛ saa akyɛde yi a Onyankopɔn de bɛma mo no ho nkɔm.
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
Wɔpɛɛ sɛ wohu bere no ne ɔkwan a ɛnam so bɛba. Saa bere yi ne bere a Kristo Honhom a ɛte wɔn mu no rekyerɛ wɔ nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Kristo amanehunu a ɔbɛfa mu ne anuonyam a ebedi akyi no ho.
12 To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Onyankopɔn daa no adi kyerɛɛ saa adiyifo no sɛ, wɔanyɛ adwuma no amma wɔn ho, na mmom wɔyɛ de som mo. Wɔnam Honhom Kronkron a wɔsomaa no fii ɔsoro no tumi so kaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ abɔfo no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛte Asɛmpa yi de, nanso wɔde brɛɛ mo nko ara.
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Enti munsi mo adwene pi na munni dwuma. Munnyina yiye na momma mo ani nna nhyira a wɔde bɛma mo Yesu Kristo ba a ɔbɛba no mu no so.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
Muntie Onyankopɔn, na mommma akɔnnɔ abrabɔ a edii mo so bere a na munnim no no nni mo so.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
Na mmom monyɛ kronkron wɔ biribiara a moyɛ mu, sɛnea Onyankopɔn a ɔfrɛɛ mo no yɛ kronkron no.
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kronkron, efisɛ meyɛ kronkron.”
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
Monkae sɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro a mobɔ no mpae no nhwɛ nnipa anim wɔ nʼatemmu mu. Ɛno nti momfa nidi nyinaa mma no wɔ mo nna a aka mo wɔ asase yi so no.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Efisɛ munim bo a wotua de gyee mo fii abrabɔ bɔne a mo nananom kyerɛɛ mo no mu. Ɛnyɛ ade a ɛhwere ne bo a ɛsom te sɛ dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ no.
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
Kristo a ɔte sɛ oguamma a onni dɛm no de ne ho bɔɔ afɔre a ne bo yɛ den ma munyaa ahofadi.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
Ansa na wɔrebɔ wiase no, na Onyankopɔn ayi no na mo nti na nna a edi akyiri no wɔdaa no adi no.
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Ɛnam ne so na mugyee Onyankopɔn a onyan no fii awufo mu na ɔmaa no anuonyam no dii. Ɛnam so ama mo gyidi ne mo anidaso ase atim wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
Afei a moayɛ osetie ama nokware no nti, mo ho atew na mododɔ mo nuanom agyidifo nokware mu yi, mumfi mo koma nyinaa mu nnodɔ mo ho mo ho.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Efisɛ wɔawo mo foforo; emfi aba a ɛporɔw mu, na mmom efi Onyankopɔn asɛm a ɛmporɔw no mu. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Nnipa nyinaa te sɛ sare; na wɔn anuonyam te sɛ nhwiren. Sare no wu ma ne nhwiren no po,
