1 Phexros ergamaa Yesuus Kiristoos irraa, Gara filatamtoota Phonxoos, Galaatiyaa, Qaphadooqiyaa, Asiyaa fi Biitaaniyaa keessa bibittinnaaʼan
Peter, an apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 kanneen akka beekumsa Waaqa Abbaatti, karaa hojii qulqulleessuu Hafuuraatiin, akka Yesuus Kiristoosiif ajajamanii fi akka dhiigni isaa isaanitti facaafamuuf filatamaniitti: Ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa baayʼatu.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus (the) Messiah and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3 Waaqaa fi Abbaan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos haa eebbifamu! Inni araara isaa guddaa sanaan, warra duʼan keessaa kaʼuu Yesuus Kiristoosiin abdii jiraataadhaaf lammata nu dhalche;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus (the) Messiah from the dead,
4 akkasumas dhaala hin badne, kan hin xuroofne yookaan hin geeddaramnetti nu galche; dhaalli kunis samii keessa isinii kaaʼameera;
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 isin warra karaa amantiitiin hamma fayyina bara dhumaatti mulʼachuudhaaf qophaaʼe sanaatti humna Waaqaatiin eegamtanii dha.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Isinis yoo amma yeroo gabaabaaf qorumsa gosa garaa garaa keessa darbuu qabaattan iyyuu waan kanaan akka malee gammaddan.
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 Wanni kunis akka amantiin keessan kan warqee yoo ibiddaan qulqulleeffame iyyuu badu sana caalu sun dhugaa taʼuun isaa mirkaneeffamee, yeroo itti Yesuus Kiristoos mulʼatutti galata, ulfinaa fi kabaja fiduuf taʼe.
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 (the) Messiah is revealed—
8 Isin utuu isa hin argin isa jaallattu; amma yoo isa arguu baattan iyyuu isatti amantu; gammachuu ibsamuu hin dandeenyee fi ulfina qabeessaanis guutamtaniirtu;
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 isin buʼaa amantii keessanii jechuunis fayyina lubbuu keessanii argachaa jirtuutii.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Raajonni waaʼee ayyaana isinii kennamuuf jiru sanaa dubbatan sun itti jabaatanii waaʼee fayyina kanaa qorachaa, iyyaafachaas turan;
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 isaanis yommuu Hafuurri Kiristoos inni isaan keessa ture sun waaʼee dhiphina Kiristoosiitii fi waaʼee ulfina itti aanu sanaa duraan dursee dubbatetti yoomii fi haala akkamii keessa akka taʼu beekuuf yaalaa turan.
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Messiah, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Messiah, and the glories that would follow them.
12 Namoonni Hafuura Qulqulluu isa samiidhaa ergameen wangeela isinitti lallaban sun waan amma isinitti himan keessatti utuu ofii isaanii hin taʼin isin akka tajaajilan ifa ni taʼeef; waan kana ergamoonni iyyuu gad fageenyaan arguu hawwu.
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 gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Kanaafuu mudhii qalbii keessanii hidhadhaa; warra of qaban taʼaa; abdii keessanis guutumaan guutuutti ayyaana yeroo Yesuus Kiristoos mulʼatutti isinii kennamu sana irra kaaʼadhaa.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus (the) Messiah is revealed.
14 Akka ijoollee ajajamanii taʼaa malee hawwii hamaa bara wallaalummaa keessanii sana duukaa hin buʼinaa.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 Qooda kanaa akkuma inni isin waame sun qulqulluu taʼe, isinis waan hojjetan hundumaan qulqulloota taʼaa;
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 “Ani qulqulluudhaatii isinis qulqulloota taʼaa” jedhamee barreeffameeraatii.
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Isin erga isa utuu wal hin caalchisin nama hunda akkuma hojii isaatti itti muru sana “Abbaa” jettanii waammattanii bara keessummummaa keessan isa sodaachaa jiraadhaa.
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 Isin akka jireenya faayidaa hin qabne kan abbootii keessan irraa dhaaltan irraa waan baduu dandaʼu kan akka meetiitii fi warqeetiin hin furamin beektuutii.
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 Garuu dhiiga gatii guddaa qabu, dhiiga Kiristoos jechuunis hoolaa mudaa yookaan hanqina hin qabne sanaatiin furamtaniirtu.
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Messiah.
20 Inni utuu addunyaan hin uumamin duraan dursee beekame; garuu isiniif jedhee bara dhumaa kana keessa mulʼate.
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 Isinis karaa isaatiin Waaqa warra duʼan keessaa isa kaasee ulfina isaaf kenne sanatti amantu; kunis akka amantii fi abdiin keessan Waaqayyo taʼuuf.
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 Egaa isin waan akka obboloota keessaniif jaalala dhugaa qabaattaniif jettanii dhugaadhaaf ajajamuun of qulqulleessitaniif, cimsaatii garaa qulqulluudhaan wal jaalladhaa.
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 Isin karaa dubbii Waaqaa isa jiraatuu fi cimee dhaabatu sanaatiin sanyii hin badne irraa lammata dhalattan malee sanyii badu irraa miti. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 “Foon hundi akkuma margaa ti; ulfinni isaa hundis akkuma daraaraa margaa ti; margi ni coollaga; daraaraanis ni harcaʼa;
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
