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, apostle of Jesus Christ, to [the] sojourners of [the] dispersion of 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 sanctification of [the] Spirit, unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace 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 great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead,
4 da kuma cikin gādon da ba zai taɓa lalacewa, ɓacewa ko koɗewa ba, ajiyayye a sama dominku,
to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,
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 guarded by [the] power of God through faith for 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.
Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,
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 the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [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, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] 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 prophets, who have prophesied of the grace towards you, sought out and searched out;
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.
searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ which [was] in them pointed out, testifying before of the sufferings which [belonged] to Christ, and the glories after these.
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 to themselves but to you they ministered those things, which have now been announced to you by those who have declared to you the glad tidings by [the] Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, which angels 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, having girded up the loins of your mind, [be] sober [and] hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace [which will 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 children of obedience, not conformed to [your] former lusts 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, be ye also holy in all [your] conversation;
16 gama a rubuce yake cewa, “Ku zama masu tsarki, domin ni mai tsarki ne.”
because it is written, Be ye 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 if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn 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,
knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible [things, as] silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from [your] fathers,
19 sai dai an fanshe ku da jini mai daraja na Kiristi, ɗan rago marar aibi ko lahani.
but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [the blood] of Christ,
20 An zaɓe shi kafin halittar duniya, amma an bayyana shi a zamanin ƙarshe saboda ku.
foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of 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 him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should 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 by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of 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)
being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by [the] living and abiding word of God. (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 glory as [the] flower of grass. The grass has withered and [its] flower has fallen;
