1 Piè 1
1 Pierre, yon apot Jésus Kri, a sila ki rete a letranje yo, ki gaye nan Pont, Galatie, Cappadoce, Asie ak Bithynie, sila ki chwazi davans yo,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
2 selon konesans davans a Bondye, Papa a, pa travay Lespri Sen an, pou nou ta kapab obeyi Jésus Kri e vin aspèje avèk san Li: Ke lagras ak lapè kapab pou nou nan pi gran mezi.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
3 Beni se Bondye e Papa a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, ki selon gran mizerikòd Li, te fè nou vin ne ankò nan yon esperans lavi pa rezirèksyon a Jésus Kris ki soti nan lanmò a
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 pou jwenn yon eritaj ki enperisab, san tach, ki p ap janm disparèt, ki rezève nan syèl la pou nou
to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
5 ki pwoteje pa pwisans Bondye a pa lafwa, pou yon sali ki prè pou revele nan dènye tan an.
who by the power of God are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Nan sa, nou rejwi anpil, malgre koulye a pandan yon ti tan, si l nesesè, nou te twouble pa plizyè eprèv,
In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials
7 pou prèv lafwa nou an, ki pi presye ke lò, ki malgre eprèv dife a toujou rete perisab, pou nou kapab twouve kòm rezilta, lwanj, laglwa ak lonè a revelasyon Jésus Kri a.
so that the proven character of your faith—far more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire—may result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8 Epi malgre nou poko wè Li, nou renmen Li, e malgre nou poko wè Li koulye a, men nou kwè nan Li, e rejwi anpil avèk yon jwa ki pa kab eksprime e ki plen ak laglwa
Although you once did not know him, you love him; although you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with an unspeakable and glorious joy,
9 ki fè kon rezilta lafwa nou an, sali de nanm nou.
because you are receiving the end result of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
10 Selon sali sila a, pwofèt yo ki te pwofetize lagras ki te gen pou vini a nou menm nan, te fè rechèch ak ankèt pa yo,
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated,
11 pou chèche konnen ki moun, oubyen a kilè Lespri a Kris la anndan yo a, t ap endike lè li te pwofetize soufrans a Kris ak glwa ki t ap swiv yo a.
inquiring about the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
12 Li te revele a yo ke se pa pwòp tèt yo ke yo t ap sèvi, men ou menm, nan bagay sa yo ke koulye a, gen tan anonse a nou pa sila ki te preche levanjil a nou menm yo pa Lespri Sen ki te sòti nan syèl la—bagay ke menm zanj yo lanvi konprann.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
13 Konsa prepare panse nou pou nou kab aji; rete vijilan. Fikse esperans nou nèt sou lagras ki te pote a nou menm nan revelasyon a Jésus Kri a—
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 Kòm timoun obeyisan pa vin konfòme nou a dezi lachè ke nou te genyen oparavan lè nou te nan inyorans lan,
As children of obedience, do not conform yourselves to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
15 men tankou Sila Ki Sen ki te rele nou an se pou nou vin sen, osi nan tout konpòtman nou.
But just as he who called you is holy, you also must be holy in all your conduct,
16 Paske sa ekri: “Nou dwe sen, paske Mwen Sen.”
for it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Si nou adrese kòm “Papa”, Sila ki jije san patipri a, selon zèv a chak moun, nou gen pou kondwi tèt nou nan lakrent pandan tan ki rete nou sou tè a.
If you call on the Father who judges without partiality according to each person's work, pass the time of your sojourn in reverent fear.
18 Epi konsa, konnen ke nou pa t rachte avèk bagay perisab tankou lajan ak lò ki soti nan mod de vi san enpòtans, tankou eritaj de zansèt nou yo,
For you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,
19 men avèk san presye, tankou sa ki sòti nan yon jenn mouton san defo, san tach, ki se san a Kris la menm.
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 Paske Li te deja rekonèt avan fondasyon mond lan, men Li te vin parèt nan dènye tan sa yo pou koz a nou menm
He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
21 ki pa Li menm kwè nan Bondye ki te leve Li nan lanmò e te bay Li glwa, pou lafwa ak esperans nou ta kapab nan Bondye.
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Akoz ke obeyisans a verite a te vin pirifye nanm nou pou yon lanmou sensè anvè frè nou yo, renmen youn lòt avèk yon chalè ki sòti nan kè,
Since you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth through the Spirit, resulting in genuine brotherly love, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
23 paske nou te ne ankò, pa de semans ki perisab, men ki enperisab, selon pawòl Bondye a ki viv, e ki rete pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God that lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Paske: “Tout chè tankou zèb, e tout laglwa li tankou flè zèb la. Zèb la fennen, e flè a vin tonbe,
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man is like a flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls,
