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 dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
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, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
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 great mercy hath regenerated us unto 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
Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, 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 kept by 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,
Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
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 trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
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, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
9 ki fè kon rezilta lafwa nou an, sali de nanm nou.
Receiving the end of your faith, 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,
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
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 signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should 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.
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
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 having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation 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 fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
15 men tankou Sila Ki Sen ki te rele nou an se pou nou vin sen, osi nan tout konpòtman nou.
But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
16 Paske sa ekri: “Nou dwe sen, paske Mwen Sen.”
Because it is written: You shall be 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 you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
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 you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
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 unspotted and undefiled,
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
Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
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 are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, 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,
Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
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 born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth 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 thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
