1 Bitrus 1
1 Bitrus, manzon Yesu Kiristi, Zuwa ga zaɓaɓɓu na Allah, baƙi a duniya, da suke a warwatse ko’ina a Fontus, Galatiya, Kaffadokiya, Asiya da kuma Bitiniya,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 waɗanda aka zaɓa bisa ga rigyasanin Allah Uba, ta wurin aikin tsarkakewar Ruhu, don biyayya ga Yesu Kiristi, su kuma sami yayyafan jininsa. Alheri da salama su zama naku a yalwace.
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.
3 Yabo ya tabbata ga Allah Uban Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi! Cikin jinƙansa mai girma ya ba mu sabuwar haihuwa cikin bege mai rai ta wurin tashin Yesu Kiristi daga matattu,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope
4 da kuma cikin gādon da ba zai taɓa lalacewa, ɓacewa ko koɗewa ba, ajiyayye a sama dominku,
in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,
5 ku waɗanda ta wurin bangaskiya ake kiyayewa ta wurin ikon Allah har yă zuwa ceton da yake a shirye da za a bayyana a ƙarshen lokaci.
who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:
6 A kan wannan kuke cike da farin ciki ƙwarai, ko da yake yanzu na ɗan lokaci kuna fuskantar baƙin ciki daga gwaje-gwaje iri-iri.
in which you rejoice, though now for a little while, since it is needful, you are in sorrow under various temptations;
7 Wannan kuwa domin a tabbatar da sahihancin bangaskiyarku ne, wadda ta fi zinariya daraja nesa, ita zinariya kuwa, ko da yake mai ƙarewa ce, akan gwada ta da wuta, domin bangaskiyan nan taku ta jawo muku yabo da girma da ɗaukaka a bayyanar Yesu Kiristi.
that your faith, when proved, being much more precious than gold, which perishes though it be tried by fire, may be found to be for praise and honor and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 Ko da yake ba ku taɓa ganinsa ba, kuna ƙaunarsa; kuma ko da yake ba kwa ganinsa yanzu, kun gaskata shi, kun kuma cika da farin ciki ƙwarai, wanda ya fi gaban faɗi,
whom, though you have not seen him, yet you love; on whom not now looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory,
9 gama kuna samun sakamakon bangaskiyarku, ceton rayukanku ke nan.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Game da ceton nan, annabawa, waɗanda suka yi maganar alherin da za tă zo gare ku, sun yi bincike mai zurfi, a natse,
Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,
11 suna ƙoƙari su san lokaci da kuma yanayin da Ruhun Kiristi da yake cikinsu yana nunawa sa’ad da ya yi faɗi a kan wahalolin Kiristi da kuma ɗaukaka da za tă bi.
inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, beforehand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them;
12 Aka bayyana musu cewa ba kansu ne suke bauta wa ba sai ku, sa’ad da suka yi maganar abubuwan da aka faɗa muku ta wurin waɗanda suka yi muku wa’azin bishara, ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki wanda aka aika daga sama. Ko mala’iku ma suna marmari su ga waɗannan abubuwa.
to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.
13 Saboda haka, ku shirya kanku don aiki; ku zama masu kamunkai; ku kafa begenku duka a kan alherin da za a ba ku sa’ad da aka bayyana Yesu Kiristi.
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
14 Kamar’ya’ya masu biyayya, kada ku bi mugayen sha’awace-sha’awacen da dā kuke da su sa’ad da kuke rayuwa a cikin jahilci.
as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;
15 Amma kamar yadda wanda ya kira ku yake mai tsarki, haka ku ma sai ku kasance masu tsarki cikin dukan abubuwan da kuke yi;
but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior:
16 gama a rubuce yake cewa, “Ku zama masu tsarki, domin ni mai tsarki ne.”
because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.
17 Tun da yake kuna kira ga Uba wanda yake yin wa kowane mutum shari’a bisa ga ayyukansa ba bambanci, sai ku yi rayuwarku a nan kamar baƙi cikin tsoro mai bangirma.
And since you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
18 Gama kun san cewa ba da abubuwa masu lalacewa kamar azurfa ko zinariya ce aka fanshe ku daga rayuwar banza da kuka karɓa daga kakanni-kakanninku ba,
because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers,
19 sai dai an fanshe ku da jini mai daraja na Kiristi, ɗan rago marar aibi ko lahani.
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,
20 An zaɓe shi kafin halittar duniya, amma an bayyana shi a zamanin ƙarshe saboda ku.
who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
21 Ta gare shi ne kuka gaskata da Allah, wanda ya tā da shi daga matattu, aka kuma ɗaukaka shi, ta haka bari bangaskiyarku da begenku su kasance ga Allah.
who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Yanzu da kuka tsarkake kanku ta wurin yin biyayya ga gaskiyan nan, don ku kasance da ƙauna mai gaskiya wa’yan’uwanku, sai ku ƙaunaci juna ƙwarai, daga zuciya.
Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently,
23 Gama an sāke haihuwarku, ba da iri da yake lalacewa ba, sai dai marar lalacewa, ta wurin rayayyiya da kuma madawwamiyar maganar Allah. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Gama, “Dukan mutane kamar ciyawa suke, darajarsu kuma kamar furannin jeji ne; ciyawa takan yanƙwane furannin kuma su kakkaɓe,
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass; the grass withers, and its flower fails away:
