1 Pieri 1
1 Mini, Pieri, Jesu Kirisiti ń lugdi yua ke o tua o tondo, n dangi yi li tili ne, yinba yaaba n dugi o po, yinba yaaba ke U Tienu lugdi ke yin ŋɔdi wani o bá. N dangi yinba yaaba n kua Pɔntu, Galati, Kapadɔsi, Asi leni Betani diema nni, yinba yaaba n fagi leni ŋaljanli, yin dagdi leni ya diegu.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
2 U Tienu, ti Báa lugdi yi na wani o bá ń bo tuodi ki jagi maama, ke o Foŋanma paadi ki seni yi, ke yin ya cɔlni Jesu Kirisiti, ke o sɔma ń cedi yin tua yaaba n dagdi U Tienu nunga nni. N miadi ke U Tieni ń waani yi o buama, ki puni yi mi yanduanma.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
3 Dondi mani U Tienu, wani yua n tie ti Diedo Jesu Kirisiti Báa! Wan bua ti ya po i, ke o cedi ke ti go dá pia li miali. Kelima, o cedi ke Jesu Kirisiti gɔa ki yiedi mi kuum puoli, ti bani ke o ba tieni ti po nani wan niani maama
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 O cedi ke ti ba fidi ki daani ya bona ke begni ti po ŋaljanli nni, ya bona n ba waagi li bina leni libina.
and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
5 U Tienu guu ŋa leni o paaciamu kelima a dugi Jesu po. O guu ŋa nani lan buali maama, Tin ye ya yenyienu ne juodma, o ba fie a Setaani paalu nui nni.
who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 A pali mani kelima yaala n ba ti cua po ama mɔlane i biidi i pala waamu, kelima ya bigna nmabndi waau waamu. U Tienu tuo ki cabi ke ban ya bigndi yi na ban bigndi wula ki bua bandi li ya li ya pia mayuli, kaa pia jɔgndi. ya bigna ke a laadi ne ŋani a po.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
7 li bigna tie ke lan waani ke a dugi Jesu po. Li mɔni boncianla U Tienu po ki cie ki tinga nni wula kuli, yaali ke u mu ba fidi ki biidi. Kelima a dugi Jesu po, U Tienu ba kpiagi
so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 I bau Jesu bá leni yin ki la o. Bá leni yin ki nua o mɔlane, i pala mani boncianla;
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 kelima i dugi o po, U Tienu faabi yi i tuobiadi po.
now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Bi sawalpuaba bo cili hali ke li fagi ki maadi ya tondu ke U Tienu waani ba wan ba tini maama ki faabi yi dayenli. Bi kpaagi boncianla li bona po.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
11 Bi den bua ban bandi Kiristu yantiali yaali n ye bi niinni ne maad ŋma ya maama i. Bi go den bua ban bandi lan ba tieni ya yogu. Bi tieni yeni kelima li yantiali yeni den tuodi ki waani ba, ke Kirisiti ba la fala, ki kpe, ke o kuuma puoli, o yudandi bona ba yuandi ki dɔddi.
trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
12 Li den dɔgdi ki waani ba ke lan ya bona ki tuodi ki legdi, ki ba tieni bani ya po ka, ama yinba ya po i, ke bi waani yi o laabaalŋamo, U Tienu Foŋanma yaama n ñani tanpoli paalu po, ke bá malekinba legdi, ke ban la yeni bi nunbu, ki bandi cain.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
13 Laniya po i, ke li buali ke yin ñagni yi ciamu a gbana, ki baa mi maalŋanm, ki ŋa ti japaadi, ki ya ye yeni li dandanli ki sedi taajalalie, ki guudi ya ŋanbli n ba cua yeni Jesu Kiristu dɔgdima
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Yin ya tie nani ya bila n cɔlni yiko yeni, ki da togdi ya ŋalmanbuama ke yi den pia yin den tie yanbɔndanba ya yogu.
As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
15 Nani yua n yini yi gagdi ki ŋani yeni, imo ń ya tie yaaba n gagdi ki ŋani i tuona nni kuli, nani lan diani maama:
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
16 I baa tie yaaba n gagdi ki ŋani, kelima n gagdi ki ŋani.
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Li ya tie ke i jaandi ki miadi i Báa yua bu ti buudi ke ti ŋua yuakuli yeni o tuona, kaa pia lugdima, yin ya ye yeni li fangli hali tiga ne i miali banlu.
Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
18 Yin ya bani ke li ki tie yeni ya ŋalmani n ba dudi, lani yaa ka i ligi bii wula ka cedi U Tienu daa ki faabi yi yeni yin dini ya faali yi yaajanba fanfanma yenyienu po
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 Ama yeni Kiristu sɔma yaama n pia mi buama boncianla, nani ya pabiga n ki pi biidi kaa go pia pɔdi yaama yeni.
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 Bi den tuodi ki lugdi o ke ŋanduna da ki tagi, ke li ti dɔgdi ki waani i ya po mi juodma yogu.
He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
21 Wani ya tuona po i, ke i dugi U Tienu po, wani yua n yiedi Jesu bi tinkpiba siiga, ki puni o ti kpiagdi, ke i dudugdi yeni i dandanli ń ya maa U Tieni po.
Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
22 Nani yin ŋuudi i pala ki ŋɔdi i mɔmɔni, ki baa pia payenli buama yaama n ki pia jɔgindi yeni i, yin ya bua i lieba boncianla yeni i pali kuli.
Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
23 Kelima i baa li miapaali, ke li naa ñani ya bonbuola n ba dudi kani ka, ama ya bonbuola n ki pia dudma kani; lani n tie U Tienu maama yaama fo, ki baa tundi ki ye hali ya yogu n ki pia gbenma. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Kelima gbannandi kuli tie nani ku muagu yeni i, ke o kpiagdi kuli mo tie nani ku muapuugu yeni. Ku muagu ya kuodi, ku puugu mo ń baa;
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
