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 elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in 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, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
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 [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from 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.
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
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 by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a 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.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations,
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.
that the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, might be found unto praise and glory and honour 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 not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 paske nou jwenn sa nou t'ap chache lè nou te kwè a: delivrans pou nanm nou.
receiving the end of your faith, [even] the 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 and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto 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 what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
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 unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
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.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at 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 children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] 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 like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
16 Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se pou nou bon nèt, paske mwen menm, mwen bon nèt.
because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for 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 ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning 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.
knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;
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 without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:
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.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,
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 are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might 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.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:
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)
having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (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.
For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
