1 Bitrus 1
1 Bitrus, manzon Yesu Almasihu, zuwa ga zababbu wadanda suke baki, a warwatse cikin Buntus, Galatiya, kappadokiya, Asiya, da Bitiniya.
This letter comes from Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, and is sent to God's chosen people: exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
2 Bisa ga rigasanin Allah Uba, Ta wurin tsarkakewar Ruhu, zuwa biyayya da yayyafar jinin Yesu Almasihu. Alheri da salama su yawaita a gareku.
You were chosen by God the Father in his wisdom, made holy by the Spirit, so that you might obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood. May you have grace and peace more and more!
3 Albarka ga Allah Uban Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu. Ta wurin jinkansa mai girma, ya maya haihuwarmu zuwa bege mai rai ta wurin tashin Yesu Almasihu daga matattu.
Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Through his great mercy we have been born again and given a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
4 Zuwa gado marar lalacewa, marar baci, ba kuma zai kode ba. Wanda aka kebe a sama dominku.
This inheritance is eternal, it never spoils or fades, and it is kept safe in heaven for you.
5 Ku da ikon Allah ya kiyaye ta wurin bangaskiya domin ceto wanda za'a bayyana a karshen zamanai.
Through your trust in him, God will protect you by his power until salvation arrives—the salvation that is ready to be revealed at the last day.
6 Cikin wannan kuna murna da yawa, duk da ya ke ya zama wajibi gare ku yanzu ku yi bakin ciki, a cikin jarabobi iri iri.
So be glad about this, even though you may be sad for a short while as you endure various trials.
7 Wannan kuwa da nufin a iske aunawar bangaskiyarku ne, bangaskiyar da tafi zinariya daraja, wadda takan lalace ko da an gwada ta da wuta. Wannan ya faru domin bangaskiyan nan taku ta jawo maku yabo da girma da daukaka a bayyanuwar Yesu Almasihu.
These prove that your trust in God is genuine, just as fire is used to prove if gold is genuine—even though that too can be destroyed—and your faith is more valuable than gold! In this way your trust in God will be recognized and you will receive praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ appears.
8 Wanda kuke kauna, ko da yake baku ganshi ba. Ko da yake baku ganinsa yanzu, duk da haka kun bada gaskiya gare shi murnar da ku ke yi kwarai da farin ciki wanda tafi gaban a fadi cike da daukaka.
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you cannot see him now, you trust in him and you're filled with wonderful, indescribable happiness.
9 Kuna karbar sakamakon bangaskiyarku, ceton rayukanku.
Your reward for trusting in him is that you will be saved!
10 Annabawan da su ka yi annabcin ceton da ya zama naku su ka yi bidassa suka bincike kuma da himma.
It was this salvation that the prophets searched for and investigated when they spoke of the grace that was prepared for you.
11 Sun nemi su san ko wanene da kuma kowanne lokaci ne Ruhun Almasihu da ke cikinsu yake bayyana ma su. Wannan ya faru ne sa'adda yake gaya ma su tun da wuri game da shan wahalar Almasihu da kuma daukakar da zata biyo baya.
They tried to find out when and how this would take place, for the Spirit of Christ inside them spoke clearly about Christ's sufferings and glory to come.
12 An kuwa bayyana wa annabawan cewa ba kansu suke hidimtawa ba, amma ku suke yi wa hidima. Wannan shine abin da suke yi game da abin da aka rigaya aka gaya maku, ta wurin wadanda da Ruhu mai Tsarki ya bishe su. Wanda aka aiko daga sama. Wadannan sune abubuwan da mala'iku ma suka yi marmarin a bayyana masu.
It was explained to them that they were not doing this for themselves, but for you—since what they spoke about you've now learned from those who shared the good news with you by the Holy Spirit that heaven sent. Even the angels are eager to find out about all this!
13 Domin wannan fa ku natsu. Ku yi dammara a hankalinku. Ku kafa begenku sarai akan alherin da za'a kawo maku a lokacin bayyanuwar Yesu Almasihu.
Make sure your minds are in gear. Be clear-headed. Fix your hope exclusively on the grace you'll be given when Jesus is revealed.
14 Kamar 'ya'ya masu biyyaya, kada ku biyewa sha'awoyinku na da a zamanin jahilcinku.
Live like children that do what they're told. Don't allow yourselves to be shaped by your former sinful desires when you didn't know any better.
15 Amma yadda shi wanda ya kira ku mai tsarki ne, kuma ku zama da tsarki cikin dukkan al'amuranku.
Now you need to be holy in everything you do, just as the one who called you is holy.
16 Domin a rubuce yake, “Ku zama da tsarki, gama ni mai tsarki ne.”
As Scripture says, “You are to be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Idan ku na kira bisa gare shi “Uba” shi wanda yake hukuntawa ba da tara ba, amma gwar-gwadon aikin kowane mutum, sai kuyi zaman bakuncinku da tsoro da bangirma.
Since you call him Father, and recognize he judges everyone impartially based on what they do, take your time here on earth seriously, respecting him.
18 Kun san cewa ba da azurfa ko zinariya mai lalacewa aka fanshe ku ba, daga halinn wauta da kuka gada daga wurin iyayenku.
You already know that you were not set free from your pointless way of living that you inherited from your forefathers by things that don't have lasting value, like silver or gold.
19 Maimakon haka an fanshe ku da jinin Almasihu mai daraja, marar aibu kamar na dan rago.
You were set free by the costly blood of Christ, who was like a lamb with no flaw or defect.
20 An zabi Almasihu tun kafin kafawar duniya, amma a karshen zamanu ya bayyanu a gare ku.
He was chosen before the world was created, but he was revealed in these last days for your benefit.
21 Ku da kuka bada gaskiya ga Allah ta wurinsa, wanda ya tashe shi daga matattu ya kuma bashi daukaka domin bangaskiyarku da begenku su kasance cikin Allah.
Through him you trust in God who raised him from the dead, and glorified him, so that you could have confidence and hope in God.
22 Da shike kun tsarkake rayukanku cikin biyayyar ku ga gaskiya zuwa ga sahihiyar kauna ta 'yan'uwa, sai ku kaunaci junanku da zuciya mai gaskiya.
Now that you've dedicated yourselves by following the truth, love each other sincerely like a true family.
23 da shike an sake hai'huwarku ba daga iri mai lalacewa ba amma daga iri marar rubewa, ta wurin maganar Allah wadda take rayuwa ta kuma dawwama. (aiōn g165)
You've been born again, not the product of a mortal “seed,” but immortal, through the living, eternal word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Gama “dukkan jiki kamar ciyawa yake, dukkan darajarsa kuwa kamar furen ciyawa take. Ciyawa takan yi yaushi, furenta ya kan yankwane ya fadi,
For: “All people are like grass, and all their glory like wildflowers. The grass withers and the flowers fall.
