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 strangers who are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia,
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.
Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, ---may grace and peace be multiplied unto 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, who according to his abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by 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 incorruptible, 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 are kept by the power of God through faith unto 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 which ye rejoice, tho' now for a little while, if need be, ye are grieved through 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.
That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be 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
whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,
9 ki fè kon rezilta lafwa nou an, sali de nanm nou.
even 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 which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it:
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.
searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them:
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.
to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
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—
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and stedfastly hope for the grace to be conferred upon you at the appearing of Jesus Christ;
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, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 men tankou Sila Ki Sen ki te rele nou an se pou nou vin sen, osi nan tout konpòtman nou.
but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,
16 Paske sa ekri: “Nou dwe sen, paske Mwen Sen.”
Be ye holy, for 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.
And if ye call upon the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in 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,
knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain conversation learned by tradition from your fathers, not with corruptible things, as silver and 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 as of a lamb without blemish and without 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
who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,
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.
who through Him trust in God that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be fixed 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,
Having therefore purified your souls by obedience to the truth, through the Spirit, to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another with a pure heart fervently:
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)
being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever. (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 as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass: the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away;
