1 Petera 1
1 Petera, Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy ny mpivahiny monina any am-pielezana any Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia sy Bitynia, dia olom-boafidy
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 araka ny fahalalana rahateo, izay an’ Andriamanitra Ray, amin’ ny fanamasinan’ ny Fanahy, ho amin’ ny fanarahana sy ny famafazan’ ny ran’ i Jesosy Kristy: hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.
3 Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Izay niteraka antsika indray araka ny haben’ ny famindram-pony ho amin’ ny fanantenana velona tamin’ ny nitsanganan’ i Jesosy Kristy tamin’ ny maty,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope
4 ho amin’ ny lova tsy mety simba, tsy misy loto, tsy mety levona, voatahiry any an-danitra ho anareo,
in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,
5 izay arovan’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana ho amin’ ny famonjena efa vonona haseho any am-parany.
who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:
6 Izany no iravoravoanareo, na dia ampalahelovina vetivety ankehitriny amin’ ny fakam-panahy maro samy hafa aza ianareo, raha tsy maintsy hisy izany,
in which you rejoice, though now for a little while, since it is needful, you are in sorrow under various temptations;
7 mba ho hita ho fiderana sy voninahitra ary fankalazana ny fizahan-toetra ny finoanareo (izay tsara lavitra noho ny volamena mety ho simba, na dia voazaha toetra tamin’ ny afo aza), dia amin’ ny hisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy;
that your faith, when proved, being much more precious than gold, which perishes though it be tried by fire, may be found to be for praise and honor and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 Izay, na dia tsy mbola hitanareo aza, dia tianareo, ary na dia tsy hitanareo ankehitriny aza, anefa, satria inoanareo, dia iravoravoanareo amin’ ny fifaliana tsy azo tononina sady be voninahitra,
whom, though you have not seen him, yet you love; on whom not now looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory,
9 mandray ny anton’ ny finoanareo, dia ny famonjena ny fanahy.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ny amin’ izany famonjena izany dia notadiavin’ ny mpaminany sy nokatsahiny fatratra, dia ireo efa naminany ny fahasoavana ho anareo;
Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,
11 eny, nokatsahiny izay andro na izay toetry ny andro notondroin’ ny Fanahin’ i Kristy ao anatiny, raha nambarany rahateo ny fijalian’ i Kristy sy ny voninahitra manaraka izany.
inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, beforehand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them;
12 Ary naseho tamin’ ireo fa tsy ho azy, fa ho anareo no nanompoany ny amin’ izany zavatra izany, izay voalaza aminareo ankehitriny, tamin’ ny tenin’ ireo nitory ny filazantsara taminareo amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, Izay nirahina avy tany an-danitra; izany zavatra izany dia tian’ ny anjely hodinihina.
to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.
13 Koa amin’ izany sikino ny sainareo, dia mahonona tena, ka antenao tsara ny fahasoavana izay ho entina ho anareo amin’ ny hisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy;
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
14 tahaka ny zanaka manoa, tsy mitondra tena araka ny filanareo fahiny tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalanareo;
as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;
15 fa araka ny fahamasinan’ ilay niantso anareo, dia aoka mba ho masìna koa ianareo amin’ ny fitondran-tena rehetra,
but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior:
16 satria voasoratra hoe: “Ho masìna ianareo, satria masìna Aho”.
because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.
17 Ary raha Ilay tsy mizaha tavan’ olona, fa mitsara araka ny asan’ izy rehetra, no antsoinareo hoe Ray, dia mitondrà tena amin’ ny fahatahorana mandritra ny andron’ ny fivahinianareo etỳ;
And since you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
18 fa fantatrareo fa tsy zavatra mety ho simba, tahaka ny volafotsy sy ny volamena, no nanavotana anareo tamin’ ny fitondran-tena adala, izay azonareo tamin’ ny nentin-drazana,
because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers,
19 fa ny rà soan’ i Kristy, toy ny ran’ ny zanak’ ondry tsy misy kilema ary tsy misy pentimpentina;
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,
20 Izay fantatra rahateo, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan’ izao tontolo izao, fa efa naseho tamin’ izao andro farany izao noho ny aminareo
who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
21 Izay mino an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny alalany, dia Ilay nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty ka nanome voninahitra Azy, ― mba hiorenan’ ny finoanareo sy ny fanantenanareo amin’ Andriamanitra.
who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Satria efa nodiovinareo ny fanahinareo tamin’ ny fanarahana ny fahamarinana ho amin’ ny fitiavan-drahalahy tsy miangatra dia mifankatiava fatratra amin’ ny fo;
Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently,
23 fa efa teraka indray ianareo, tsy tamin’ ny voa mety ho lò, fa tamin’ ny tsy mety ho lò, dia ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, izay velona sady maharitra. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Fa “ny nofo rehetra dia tahaka ny ahitra, Ary izay mety ho voninahiny dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny ahitra. Malazo ny ahitra, ka mihintsana ny voniny;
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass; the grass withers, and its flower fails away:
