1 Piè 1
1 Se mwen menm, Pyè, apòt Jezikri, k'ap ekri lèt sa a pou nou tout ki fè pati pèp Bondye te chwazi a men k'ap viv tankou etranje, gaye nan peyi Pon, Galasi, Kapadòs, Lazi ak Bitini.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Se Bondye Papa a ki te chwazi nou dapre plan li te fè davans lan. Gremesi Sentespri li a, li mete nou apa pou li pou n' obeyi Jezikri, pou san Jezikri ki koule pou nou an ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. M'ap mande Bondye pou nou resevwa anpil benediksyon ak kè poze.
according to [the] foreknowledge of God the Father, by [the] sanctification of the Spirit, to [the] obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you!
3 Ann fè lwanj Bondye, Papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske, nan kè sansib li, li ban nou lavi ankò lè li te fè Jezikri leve soti vivan nan lanmò a. Sa fè nou viv ak anpil espwa.
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of the dead,
4 N'ap tann lè pou n' resevwa eritaj Bondye a, eritaj ki p'ap janm pouri, ki p'ap janm sal, ni ki p'ap janm pèdi frechè l', eritaj li sere pou nou nan syèl la.
to an incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens,
5 Paske nou menm nou gen konfyans nan li, Bondye ap pwoteje nou ak pouvwa li jouk la delivre nou jan sa pral parèt aklè nan dènye tan an.
who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,
6 Sa fè nou kontan anpil, menm si koulye a nou blije gen lapenn anpil pou yon ti tan, avèk tout kalite eprèv n'ap sibi yo.
in which you are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in various trials,
7 Paske, konfyans nou se tankou lò li ye. Yo blije pase lò a, ki yon bagay perisab, nan dife pou wè si l' bon. Konsa tou, konfyans nou ki gen plis valè pase lò a gen pou pase anba eprèv tou, pou nou ka resevwa lwanj, onè ak respè lè Jezikri va parèt.
so that the proof of your faith—much more precious than gold that is perishing, and being approved through fire—may be found to [result in] praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
8 Nou renmen l', atout nou pa te wè l'; nou gen konfyans nan li, atout nou pa wè l' koulye a. Konsa, nou kontan ak yon kontantman nou pa ka esplike men ki merite lwanj,
whom, having not seen, you love, in whom, now believing [although] not seeing, you are glad with unspeakable joy and have been filled with glory,
9 paske nou jwenn sa nou t'ap chache lè nou te kwè a: delivrans pou nanm nou.
receiving the outcome of the faith—salvation of your souls;
10 Pwofèt yo te chache anpil, yo te fouye anpil pou yo te ka konnen ki jan Bondye t'ap delivre nou. Yo te di davans ki kalite favè Bondye tapral fè nou.
concerning which salvation [the] prophets sought out and searched out, who prophesied concerning the grace toward you,
11 Lespri Kris la ki te nan yo te fè yo konnen davans tou sa Kris la tapral soufri, ansanm ak lwanj ki t'ap tann li apre sa. Men, yo t'ap chache konnen tou kilè ak nan ki sikonstans sa tapral rive.
searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,
12 Se konsa, Bondye fè yo konnen sèvis yo t'ap fè lè yo te bay mesaj la, se pa t' pou yo, men pou nou. Gremesi moun k'ap anonse nou bon nouvèl la, avèk pouvwa Sentespri ki soti nan syèl la, nou konnen bagay sa yo koulye a, bagay ata zanj yo ta renmen konprann.
to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who proclaimed good news to you), by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, to which things messengers desire to look into intently.
13 Se poutèt sa, konnen byen sa nou pral fè. Mete tèt nou an plas. Mete tout espwa nou nan benediksyon nou pral resevwa lè Jezikri va parèt.
For this reason, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly on the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
14 Tankou timoun obeyisan, pa kite move lanvi nou te genyen nan tan lontan yo mennen lavi nou ankò, tankou anvan lè nou pa t' konn Bondye.
as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,
15 Okontrè, nan tou sa n'ap fè, se pou nou bon nèt, tankou Bondye ki rele nou an bon nèt tou.
but according as He who called you [is] holy, you also, become holy in all behavior,
16 Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se pou nou bon nèt, paske mwen menm, mwen bon nèt.
because it has been written: “Become holy, because I am holy”;
17 Si lè n'ap lapriyè nou rele Bondye: Papa, li menm ki p'ap gade sou figi moun men k'ap jije tout moun menm jan dapre sa yo fè, se pou nou viv ak krentif pou Bondye pandan ti tan ki rete pou nou pase sou tè a.
and if you call on the Father, who is judging without favoritism according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn in fear,
18 Bondye wete nou nan lavi san sans nou te resevwa nan men zansèt nou yo. Nou konnen sa li te peye pou sa. Se pa t' avèk bagay ki ka pèdi valè yo tankou lajan ak lò.
having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,
19 Men, se avèk gwo ofrann san Kris la ki te koule lè li te ofri tèt li tankou yon ti mouton san defo ni ankenn enfimite.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ’s—
20 Bondye te chwazi l' pou sa depi anvan li te kreye tout bagay. Men, se nan dènye tan sa yo li vin parèt pou byen nou.
foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and revealed in the last times because of you,
21 Gremesi Kris la, nou gen konfyans nan Bondye ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò, nan Bondye ki te ba l' lwanj. Konsa, nou mete tout konfyans nou ak tout espwa nou nan Bondye.
who through Him believe in God who raised [Him] out of the dead, and gave glory to Him, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
22 Koulye a, lè n'ap obeyi verite a, nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis Bondye, pou nou sa gen yon renmen sensè pou frè yo. Se sak fè, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt ak tout kè nou, ak tout fòs nou.
Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another earnestly out of a pure heart,
23 Gremesi pawòl Bondye a ki yon pawòl vivan epi ki la pou tout tan, nou resevwa yon lòt lavi. Fwa sa a, nou pa soti nan yon jèm ki ka mouri, men nan yon jèm ki pa ka mouri. (aiōn g165)
being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
24 Jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Moun, se tankou zèb yo ye. Tout bèl ou wè yo bèl la, se tankou flè zèb la yo ye. Zèb la chèch, flè a tonbe.
because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; the grass withered, and the flower of it fell away,
