1 Petero 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Petero, mũtũmwo wa Jesũ Kristũ, Ngũmwandĩkĩra marũa maya, inyuĩ arĩa Ngai eyamũrĩire, na mũtũũrĩte mũrĩ ageni gũkũ thĩ, na mũkahurunjũkĩra mabũrũri ma Ponto, na Galatia, na Kapadokia, na Asia, na Bithinia,
PETROS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, to the chosen-ones and sojourners who are scattered in Pontos and in Galatia, and in Kapadukia, and in Asia, and in Bithunia:
2 o inyuĩ mwathuurirwo kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai Ithe aamũmenyete o mbere, na akamũtheria nĩ ũndũ wa Roho, nĩguo mwathĩkagĩre Jesũ Kristũ, na mũminjaminjĩrio thakame yake: Wega na thayũ iromũingĩhĩra.
them who are elected by the foreknowledge of Aloha the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be unto obedience, and unto the sprinkling of the blood of Jeshu Meshiha: grace and peace be multiplied with you.
3 Ngai, o we Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, arogoocwo! Ngai nĩatũciarĩte rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciake nyingĩ nĩguo tũgĩe na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩ muoyo, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa Jesũ Kristũ aariũkire akiuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation,
4 Aatũciarire nĩguo tũgĩe na igai rĩrĩa rĩtangĩbutha, kana rĩthũke, kana rĩhwerereke, rĩrĩa mũigĩirwo kũu igũrũ,
and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven,
5 o inyuĩ mũgitĩirwo nĩ hinya wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũhonokio ũgooka ũrĩa ũhaarĩirio gũkaaguũranĩrio ihinda rĩa mũthia.
while you are kept by the power of Aloha and through faith, unto the salvation which is prepared to be revealed in the last times;
6 Ũhoro ũcio nĩguo mũkenagĩra mũno, o na gwatuĩka rĩu nĩmũiguithĩtio kĩeha kahinda kanini nĩkũgerio na magerio ma mĩthemba yothe.
wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted by manifold temptations which pass over you;
7 Maũndũ maya mokĩte nĩgeetha wĩtĩkio wanyu woneke nĩ wa goro mũno gũkĩra thahabu, ĩrĩa ĩthiraga o na yakorwo ĩtheragio na mwaki, ningĩ ũmenyeke atĩ nĩ wa ma, na atĩ nĩũkarehe ũgooci, na riiri, na gĩtĩĩo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ Kristũ akaaguũranĩrio.
that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha;
8 Nĩmũmwendete o na gũtuĩka mũtirĩ mwamuona; ningĩ mũkamwĩtĩkia o na gũtuĩka rĩu mũtiramuona, na mũkaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno gĩtangĩheanĩka ũhoro wakĩo, o kĩrĩa kĩrĩ riiri,
whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:
9 nĩgũkorwo nĩmũramũkĩra ũndũ ũrĩa mũtanyaga kuona nĩ ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio wanyu, na nĩguo ũhonokio wa ngoro cianyu.
that you may receive the recompence of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ũhoro ũcio wa ũhonokio-rĩ, nĩguo anabii, arĩa maarathaga ũhoro wa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa warĩ ũũke kũrĩ inyuĩ, maacaragia na kĩyo, na makaũtuĩria na ũmenyereri mũnene,
That salvation which the prophets investigated when they prophesied concerning the grace which was to be given unto you,
11 makĩgeria kũmenya nĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩkũ Roho wa Kristũ ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wao orotaga rĩrĩa aarathaga ũhoro wa kũnyariirĩka gwa Kristũ na riiri ũrĩa ũkaarũmĩrĩra.
and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them.
12 Nao nĩmaguũrĩirio atĩ to o ene meetungatagĩra, no nĩ inyuĩ maatungatagĩra, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mwĩrĩtwo rĩu nĩ arĩa maamũhunjĩirie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa watũmirwo kuuma igũrũ. Maũndũ macio nĩmo araika meriragĩria mũno kuona.
And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ikaragai mwĩhaarĩirie meciiria-inĩ manyu; tuĩkai andũ a kwĩrigagĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ; na mũige kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩanyu biũ harĩ wega ũrĩa mũkaaheo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ Kristũ akaaguũranĩrio.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your minds, and be fully wakeful, and hope for the joy that cometh to you at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha;
14 Tuĩkai ciana cia gwathĩka, na mũtigatongoragio nĩ merirĩria mooru marĩa mwatũire namo mbere hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũtaamenyete Ngai.
as obedient children, and not partaking again of the former desires which you desired when ignorant.
15 No tondũ ũrĩa wamwĩtire nĩ mũtheru-rĩ, o na inyuĩ tuĩkai atheru maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa mũrĩĩkaga;
But be holy in all your conversations, as he is holy who calleth you;
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Tuĩkai atheru, tondũ o na niĩ ndĩ mũtheru.”
because it is written, Be ye holy, as I also am holy.
17 Na rĩrĩ, tondũ inyuĩ mũkayagĩra Ngai mũkĩmwĩtaga Ithe wanyu, o we ũrĩa ũtuagĩra o mũndũ o mũndũ kũringana na wĩra wake ategũthutũkania-rĩ, gĩikaragei mũmwĩtigĩrĩte na mũikarage ta mũrĩ agendi gũkũ thĩ.
And if you call him Father before whom there is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every man according to his works, with fear conduct you in this time of your sojourn;
18 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũũĩ atĩ rĩrĩa mwakũũrirwo mũtigane na mũtũũrĩre wa tũhũ ũrĩa mwatigĩirwo nĩ maithe manyu-rĩ, ti indo iria ibuthaga ta betha kana thahabu mwakũũrirwo nacio,
while you know that not with silver which wasteth away, nor with gold, you have been redeemed from your vain works which you received from your fathers,
19 no mwakũũrirwo na thakame ya goro mũno ya Kristũ, ũrĩa wahaanaga ta gatũrũme gatarĩ na kĩmeni kana kaũũgũ.
but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;
20 Nake nĩwe wathuurĩtwo thĩ ĩtanombwo, no nĩaguũranĩrio mahinda maya ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
who was afore-separated for this from before the foundations of the world, and hath been manifested in these last times for you,
21 Na inyuĩ nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Ngai nĩ ũndũ wake, Ngai ũrĩa wamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ na akĩmũhe riiri, nĩgeetha wĩtĩkio wanyu na mwĩhoko ikorwo irĩ o harĩ Ngai.
who by him believe in Aloha, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and your hope may be in Aloha.
22 Na tondũ rĩu nĩmwĩtheretie nĩ ũndũ wa gwathĩkĩra ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, na mũgatuĩka a kwendana kũna na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wanyu hatarĩ ũhinga-rĩ, inyuĩ ene endanagai biũ na ngoro cianyu.
Let your souls be sanctified in obedience to the truth, and be filled with the charity which respecteth not persons, that with a pure heart and perfect you may love one another,
23 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũciarĩtwo rĩngĩ, no mũticiarĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ mbeũ ĩrĩa ĩbuthaga, no nĩ ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ya kũbutha, na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ muoyo na gĩtũũraga tene na tene. (aiōn g165)
as men who are regenerated, not by a perishable seed, but by that which is imperishable, by the living word of Aloha which abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Tondũ rĩrĩ, “Andũ othe mahaana ta nyeki, na ũthaka wao wothe ũhaana ta mahũa ma mũgũnda; nyeki nĩĩhoohaga, namo mahũa magaitĩka,
Because all flesh is grass, and all its beauty as the flower of the field. The grass withereth and the flower drieth up,
