1 Ubiturus 1
1 Bitrus una ka dure ka Yeso vana Asere, uhuna andesa azauka we wazi ageno, wa samara anyimo ubulus uGalatiya, Ukappadokiya u asiya, na ubitiniya.
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Barki utuba urusa Ugomo Asere, ahira ukpico ubibe ba Asere, uhana utarsa utize nan uJamka umaye ma Yeso vana Asere.
chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
3 Ukalum ahira aco Ugomo Asetre. ahira uhem umeme udang, ma gamirka uyo uru uhana u inko riba ikaba avai, ahira uhira uYeso vana Asere ahira uwono.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Uhana ukomi uru corno me, uzatu corsino me, uda sarki ba. Uge sa a inko uni Asesere.
to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Barki unu bari Asere, ma tarsa uni inka dure barki ubura ande sa adi bezi we umasirka unee.
whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
6 Anyimo agino me izina apuru arum kan, vat in ani ya cukuno gas ahira ashi me ana me iwuzi apuru abiti anyimo umasiza sasas.
Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
7 Awoza ani me barki amansa u inko iriba ishe ini, winko iriba ugesa utiki bicofo unu balbal, be gesa bidi corno inka a masa bini unu ran. Agini me acukuno ani me uhungu shi ni nonzo nan nu bari nan ninonzo uganiya u aye Yeso vana Asere.
The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 De sa ya hem in me, ya cukuno da ya, ira meba, ya cukuno ida hira shi me ana ba, vat in ani me ya nya iriba ahira ameme apuru arum me sa izini nan apuru arum agesa atiki ni kara inguna abuki imyinci in ninonzo.
Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
9 Izinu kabisa ukalum u inko iriba ishi, ubura uti cukun tishi.
while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
10 Ana kadura ka Asere sa wa boo tize tibura sawa cukuno ushi wa tarsa ttini wa gamara in ni kara.
There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
11 Wa nyara wa rusi nani kondi uya uganiya une bibe be Asere sa bira anyimo awe me bi boo we. Agino me achni uganiya sa mazinu boo uwe dibe abanga asa ani rere ni vana Asere nan ni nonzo sani eze ina dumo.
They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.
12 Akuri abuki ana kadura ka Asere inu guna azo ace awe ani wazinu bara ba, barkishe wani wazinu wuza me. Igino me ine ini imum besa wazinu wuza barki imumn sa amu buka shi. Ahira ande sa bibe bi lau ba tarsa in we. Bi ge a tuma bini usuro Asesere. Tigino me tinetini timumu sa ahana akadura ka Asere wa nyari abezi we.
To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.
13 Barki ani me wunami iriba ishew tirziza ashi me seke. Inko iriba ishi lau ahira imumu iriri sa adi eh shini uganiya vaye uYeso vana ubura uru.
Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Kasi ahana aninonzo, kati itarsi in mei ma aje mu dati uganiya u zatu urusa shi me.
And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,
15 Barki desa ma tiuta shi mazi lau, shime cukuno anu a lau, anyimon a timumu ti shi vat.
but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
16 Barki anyeteke ani me, “cukuno ni anu a lau, barki mi izi lau.”
Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy."
17 Inka itisa ahira am “Aco” ugesa mazi unu iso utize sarki uzawa, barki ibinani ikatuma ka konde uya unu, se iwuzi ticukum tini geno inbiyau nanu bizi ubari.
And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
18 Rusa ni unu guna azo imbi coto bi bal-bal nani bi wal-wal bi, corno me bini abura shinai ba, ahira iriba ihana ishi sa ya kabi ahira aco ushi me.
knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,
19 Barki ani me ane ani a kabin duru in maye ma vana Asere ma riri, mu zatu uma dini ka ma vana ubi tam.
but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
20 Azauka vana Asere dati u tuba unee, uhana umara unee madi bezi ahira ashime.
He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
21 Shi sa ya nya mu riba ahira Asere ahira ameme, desa ahirza iwono ma kuru ma nya me ni nonzo barki u inko iriba ishi me nan unyarga ushi acukuno anyimo Asere.
are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.
22 Ya cukuno ya kpico ticukun tishi me anyimo utarsa utize ya ira kadura uhana usu uni henu, wuna usu ace ashi me ini riba ikadure.
Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
23 In ani akuru anyozo shi azo ahira isana icorizino me ba ahira atize ta Asere ti ge sa ti zin inka katuma ku zatu mara. (aiōn g165)
For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (aiōn g165)
24 Barki “vat ni pum kasi tikpe tini, vat uri umeme kasi iburi ukpe uni. Ti kpe tidi tiro, iburi me idi wa irizizi.
"All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;
