1 Petera 1
1 I Petera, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey, Ho amo mañialo naparaitake e Ponto, e Galate, e Kapadokia, e Asia vaho e Bitinia añeo, jinoboñe
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the dispersion, of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia--
2 ami’ty fisafirin’ Añahare Rae, navahe’ i Arofoy, ty amy nivohora’ areo am’ Iesoà Norizañey naho fa nifitsezan-dio’e: añonjoñan-kasoa naho hanintsiñe.
according to the predetermination of God the Father, by a sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Favor and peace be multiplied to you.
3 Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare, Rae’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey! Ie am-piferenaiñañe jabajaba, ro nampiareñe antika fañindroe’e ho am-pitamàñe veloñe amy fitroara’ Iesoà Norizañey an-kavilasiy,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has regenerated us to a lively hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 ho amy lova tsy modo, tsy ho komatrào, tsy hipoa-mavo, nihalankañeñe andikerañe aoy ho anahareo
to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, preserved in the heavens for us;
5 arovañe ami’ty haozaran’ Añahare ami’ty fatokisañe ho amy rombake haboak’ an-tsa honka’ey.
who, by the power of God, are guarded through faith, to the salvation prepared to be revealed in the last time.
6 Aa le irebeho, ndra t’ie loviloviem-pitsohañe ankafankafa hey amy ipaiañe azey,
On account of this, be exceeding glad, though now, for a little while, (since it is needful, ) you are made sorry by divers trials;
7 hamente ty fatokisa’ areo sarotse te ami’ty volamena mete momoke, naho nitsoheñe añ’ afo handrendrehañe t’ie mandrenge naho misabo vaho miàsy ami’ty fiboahañe Iesoà Norizañey.
that the trying of your faith, (much more precious than of gold, which perishes, though proved by fire, ) may be found to praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 Ikokoa’ areo ndra te mbe tsy niisake mbore tsy isake heike, f’ie atokisa’o naho irebeha’o an-kaehake tsy lefe talilieñe vaho lifots’ engeñe,
whom, not having seen, you love; on whom, not now looking, but believing, you greatly rejoice, with joy unspeakable and full of glory--
9 t’ie mandrambe ty firefeam-patokisa’ areo, ty fandrombaham-piaiñe.
receiving the consummation of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 I fatokisañey, le nitsoeha’ o mpitokio, nitsikaraha’ o nitoky i hasoa nivotrak’ ama’ areoio,
Concerning which salvation, the prophets inquired accurately, and searched diligently, who have prophesied concerning the favor bestowed on you;
11 le nimanea’ iareo pay te ia naho an-tsa inoñe ty nentoe’ i Arofo’ i Norizañeiy ty an-tro’ iareo ao, ie nitaroñe ty falovilovia’ i Norizañey naho i engeñe hanonjohiy.
searching diligently of what things, and what kind of time, the Spirit of Christ, who was in them, did signify, when he testified before the sufferings of Christ, and the glories following these--
12 Naboak’ am’ iareo te tsy iereo fa itika ty nitoroña’ iareo o raha nitsarae’ o nitaroñe i talili-soay ama’ areo henaneo amy Arofo Masiñe niraheñe boak’ an-dindiñe añeio—raha salalae’ o anjelio hotsohotsoeñe.
to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered these things; which have now been reported to you, by them who have declared the glad tidings to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven: into which things, angels earnestly desire to look attentively.
13 Aa le diaño ty toham-betsevetse’ areo hifanehake, le ilozoho filieram-batañe, vaho ifaharo fitamañe ty hasoa hatolotse anahareo ami’ty fiboahañe Iesoà Norizañey,
Wherefore, having the loins of your mind girded, being vigilant, constantly hope for the gift to be brought to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 hoe amory mete avohotse, tsy mitsikombe o hadrao raty nañaveloa’ areo am-paha-bahimoañeo.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts, in your ignorance;
15 Aa kanao masiñe i Nikanjy anahareoy le miavaha ka amo fañaveloañe iabio;
but as he who has called you is holy, be you also holy;
16 fa hoe ty pinatetse: Miavaha amy te masin-dRaho.
for it is written, "Be you holy, because I am holy."
17 Aa naho kanjie’ areo t’i Rae, ie tsy mirihy fe izaka’e songa amy fitoloña’ey, le mañaveloa am-pañeveñañe ami’ty fañialoa’ areo atoy,
And seeing you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man's work--pass the time of your sojourning here, in fear;
18 fohiñe te tsy o raha mora momokeo manahake o volafotio ndra o volamenao ty nijebañe anahareo amy haveloñe kòake linova’ areo aman-droae’ areoy,
knowing that, not with corruptible things, as silver and gold, you were redeemed from your foolish behavior, delivered to you by your fathers;
19 fa ty lio sarots’ i anak’ añondriy, i Norizañey, tsy aman-kandra tsy aman-kìla,
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without spot;
20 ie norizañe taolo’ ty nampijadoñañe ty voatse toiy, fe naboake ama’ areo an-tsan-konka’e zao.
predetermined, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you;
21 Ie ty iatoa’ areo aman’ Añahare nampivañon-ko veloñe aze naho toe nitolora’e engeñe, soa te ho aman’ Añahare ty fatokisañe naho ty fitamà’ areo.
who through him, believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Aa kanao, nañefe-batañe amy t’ie nivohotse ami’ty hatò amy Arofoy hikoko longo tsy mihaboke, le imaneo koko an-troke hiringiri’e,
Wherefore, having purified your souls by obeying the truth, through the Spirit, to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another, from a pure heart, fervently:
23 amy t’ie nisamaheñe fañindroe’e, tsy an-tabiry mora momoke, fa amo tsy momokeo, an-tsaran’ Añahare veloñe tsy mete modo. (aiōn g165)
having been regenerated, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of the living God, which remains. (aiōn g165)
24 fa Hoe ahetse ze kila nofotse, manahake o voñen’ ahetseo o hene enge’eo; miheatse o ahetseo, mihintsañe o voñe’eo,
"For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower of it falls down; but the word of the Lord remains forever."
