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, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, to the elect and sojourners, who are dispersed in Pontus and in Galatia, and in Cappadocia, and in Asia, and in 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.
to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you.
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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,
4 da kuma cikin gādon da ba zai taɓa lalacewa, ɓacewa ko koɗewa ba, ajiyayye a sama dominku,
and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;
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.
while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;
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.
wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;
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.
so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:
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 having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,
9 gama kuna samun sakamakon bangaskiyarku, ceton rayukanku ke nan.
that ye may receive the recompense of your faith, the life 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,
that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to you.
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.
And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.
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.
And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.
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 minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
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: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge.
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 be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you.
16 gama a rubuce yake cewa, “Ku zama masu tsarki, domin ni mai tsarki ne.”
Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as 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 if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with 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,
since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had 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 that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:
20 An zaɓe shi kafin halittar duniya, amma an bayyana shi a zamanin ƙarshe saboda ku.
who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;
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, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; 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.
while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;
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)
like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Gama, “Dukan mutane kamar ciyawa suke, darajarsu kuma kamar furannin jeji ne; ciyawa takan yanƙwane furannin kuma su kakkaɓe,
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away;
