Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
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 foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
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! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living 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
and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
5 arovañe ami’ty haozaran’ Añahare ami’ty fatokisañe ho amy rombake haboak’ an-tsa honka’ey.
who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Aa le irebeho, ndra t’ie loviloviem-pitsohañe ankafankafa hey amy ipaiañe azey,
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various 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.
so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor 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,
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 t’ie mandrambe ty firefeam-patokisa’ areo, ty fandrombaham-piaiñe.
now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 I fatokisañey, le nitsoeha’ o mpitokio, nitsikaraha’ o nitoky i hasoa nivotrak’ ama’ areoio,
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
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.
trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
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.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
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,
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given 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, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
15 Aa kanao masiñe i Nikanjy anahareoy le miavaha ka amo fañaveloañe iabio;
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
16 fa hoe ty pinatetse: Miavaha amy te masin-dRaho.
for it is written: “Be 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,
Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
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,
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 fa ty lio sarots’ i anak’ añondriy, i Norizañey, tsy aman-kandra tsy aman-kìla,
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 ie norizañe taolo’ ty nampijadoñañe ty voatse toiy, fe naboake ama’ areo an-tsan-konka’e zao.
He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
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.
Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are 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,
Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
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)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (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 like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
