Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Ri e chaꞌtalik rumal ri kwinel laj uchak ri Dios Tataxel pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, ri xetyoxirisataj rumal xkinimaj ri Jesucristo xuqujeꞌ xeꞌtortajik rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel, kinwayeꞌj chi kikꞌamawaꞌj nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3 Qꞌijilaꞌtal ubꞌiꞌ ri Tataxel rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, xa rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ xubꞌan chaqe xujalax chik junmul pa ri ukꞌastajibꞌal ri Jesucristo rech jeriꞌ kꞌo jun kꞌaslik qakuꞌlibꞌal kuꞌx
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 xuqujeꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri qechabꞌal ri man katukin taj, man chꞌuluj taj, xuqujeꞌ man sachel taj uwach. Ri echabꞌal riꞌ, yaktal chiꞌwe pa ri kaj.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Rumal cher ix riꞌ ri ixchajitalik rumal ri ukwinem ri Dios rumal ri ikojobꞌal kꞌa chopan na ri qꞌij are kakꞌut chiꞌwach ri kolotajem pa taq ri kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Rumal waꞌ rajawaxik kixkiꞌkotik, pune iriqom kꞌi uwach kꞌaxkꞌolal, pa taq we qꞌij kamik.
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 Ri qꞌana pwaq, pune xaq sachel uwach, pa ri qꞌaqꞌ kabꞌan wi na rilik we qas utz. Je xuqujeꞌ ri ikojobꞌal nim na ubꞌanik choch ri qꞌana pwaq, kil na we qas utz xuqujeꞌ we taqalik kaya nim uqꞌij are kape ri Jesucristo.
that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed—
8 Ri ix kiloqꞌaj ri Jesucristo pune man iwilom uwach, kikojo chi kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kajuluwik ri ikiꞌkotemal.
whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory—
9 Jeriꞌ, rumal tajin kikꞌamawaꞌj ri ikolotajem rumal ri ikojobꞌal.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios xkitzijoj ri toqꞌobꞌ ri yaktalik ri kaya na chiꞌwe, aꞌreꞌ xkisolij rij jas ubꞌanik we koltajem riꞌ.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 Are xkaj xkichꞌobꞌ rij jachike qꞌotaj xuqujeꞌ jas taq riꞌ ri kꞌaxal ri kubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Cristo, ri kꞌo chike aꞌreꞌ. Ri Uxlabꞌixel xubꞌij chike jas ri kꞌax ri kuriq na ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ ri juluwem ri kape na.
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
12 Xqꞌalajisax chkiwach chi man aꞌreꞌ taj tajin kakipatanij kibꞌ, xane are tajin kixkipatanij ix. Xkitzijoj ri utz laj tzij ri katzijox chiꞌwe kamik rukꞌ ri ukwinem ri Uxlabꞌixel ri xtaq loq pa ri kaj. Ri angelibꞌ sibꞌalaj kakirayij rilik we jastaq riꞌ.
To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Rumal riꞌ qas chibꞌana ronojel ri jastaq rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal, qas chichomaj ri kibꞌano, chi jeqebꞌa ikꞌuꞌx pa ri toqꞌobꞌ ri kayaꞌtaj na chiꞌwe are kape ri Cristo.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 Chixnimanoq jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri akꞌalabꞌ are kenimanik, man je ta kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri kixnoꞌjin kanoq nabꞌe are kꞌamajaꞌ iwetaꞌmabꞌal.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 Man kixmakun taj, rumal cher ri Dios ri xixsikꞌin apanoq tyoxalaj Dios.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Chitasa iwibꞌ che ri mak jetaq ri in nutasom wibꞌ che ri mak.
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Jeriꞌ rumal cher are kibꞌij iTat che ri kakwinik kuqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel, chimochꞌo bꞌa iwibꞌ rumal cher xaq ix ikꞌowel choch ri uwachulew.
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:
18 Iwetaꞌm chi xa xixesax loq pa ri kꞌaslemal ri xiwechabꞌej kanoq chike ri itat inan ojer. Man qꞌana pwaq man saq pwaq taj xloqꞌbꞌex iwe,
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 xane rukꞌ ri jeꞌl laj ukikꞌel ri Cristo ri paqal rajil, kajunumataj rukꞌ ri ukikꞌel ri jun laj chij ri man kꞌo ta uyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ man chꞌuluj taj.
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 Are waꞌ ri Cristo ri xuchapleꞌj itoꞌik pa taq we kꞌisbꞌal taq qꞌij riꞌ, ri xchaꞌloq rumal ri Dios are majoꞌq katiktaj loq ri uwachulew.
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 Xa rumal ri Jesús, kikojo chi ri Dios xukꞌastajisaj ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ xunimarisaj uqꞌij, rumal laꞌ wetaꞌm chi ri ikojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal ikꞌuꞌx jeqel chirij ri Dios.
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Kamik kꞌut chi ixchꞌajchꞌoj chik rumal xinimaj ri qas tzij, pa ri Uxlabꞌixel, qas chiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ronojel iwanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ronojel ichuqꞌabꞌ.
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:
23 Ix xixalax chik junmul, man ix rijaꞌl ta chik winaq ri xaq kamel xane maj ikamik rumal cher ix rijaꞌl chi ri utzij ri Dios ri kꞌaslik chibꞌe qꞌij saq: (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Konojel ri winaq xaq jer e kꞌo qꞌayes, ri kijeꞌlal junam rukꞌ ri kotzꞌiꞌj ri kakꞌiy cho ri saq; are kachaqiꞌjar ri qꞌayes katzaq ri ukotzꞌiꞌjal.
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
