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, unto the chosen pilgrims of the dispersion, throughout 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.
[Chosen] according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, Favour unto 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, hath regenerated us unto 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,
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, 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, in God’s power, are being guarded through faith unto salvation—ready to be revealed in the last ripe 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, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold 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.
In order that the proving of your faith—much more precious than of gold that perisheth even though, by means of fire, it is proved—may be found unto praise and glory and honour in the revealing 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, not having seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,
9 gama kuna samun sakamakon bangaskiyarku, ceton rayukanku ke nan.
Being about to bear away the end of your faith—a salvation of 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 concerning the favour for you, did prophesy—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 into what particular, or what manner, of season the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when witnessing beforehand as to—The sufferings, for 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.
Unto whom it was revealed—that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.
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, girding up the loins of your mind, keeping sober, perseveringly direct your hope unto the favour, being borne along to you, in the revealing 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 persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings 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, according as he that hath called you is holy, do, ye yourselves, also become, holy in all manner of behaviour, —
16 gama a rubuce yake cewa, “Ku zama masu tsarki, domin ni mai tsarki ne.”
Inasmuch as it is written—Holy shall ye be, because, 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, as Father, ye are invoking him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to each man’s work, with reverence, for the time of your sojourning, behave ye;
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, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down,
19 sai dai an fanshe ku da jini mai daraja na Kiristi, ɗan rago marar aibi ko lahani.
But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One, —
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 made manifest at a last stage of the times, for the sake of 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, are faithful towards God, —Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards 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 the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly;
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 regenerated—Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible—through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God; (aiōn g165)
24 Gama, “Dukan mutane kamar ciyawa suke, darajarsu kuma kamar furannin jeji ne; ciyawa takan yanƙwane furannin kuma su kakkaɓe,
Inasmuch as—All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, —The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,
