1 Petro 1
1 Saa krataa yi fi Yesu Kristo somafo Petro nkyɛn, Ɔde kɔma Onyankopɔn nnipa a wayi wɔn a wɔabɔ ahwete sɛ ahɔho kɔ Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia ne Bitinia amantam mu no.
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 Wɔnam Agya Onyankopɔn botae so na woyii mo na wɔnam ne Honhom so tew mo ho sɛ munni Yesu Kristo akyi na ɛnam so ama ne mogya no atew mo ho: Adom ne asomdwoe a ɛdɔɔso nka mo.
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 Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no ase. Esiane nʼahummɔbɔ dodow nti, ɔnam nyan a onyan Yesu Kristo fii owu mu no so maa yɛn nkwa foforo. Eyi ma yenya anidaso a ase atim,
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 enti yɛrehwɛ anim sɛ yebenya nhyira dodow a Onyankopɔn akora a ɔde bɛma ne mma no bi. Ɔde asie wɔ ɔsoro ama mo, efisɛ hɔ de, ɛremporɔw anaa ɛrensɛe na ɛrempa nso.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Na Onyankopɔn gyina ne tumi kɛse no so bɛhwɛ sɛ mubedu hɔ wɔ asomdwoe mu na mo nsa aka, efisɛ mugye no di. Ɛbɛyɛ mo de nna a edi akyiri no mu ama obiara ahu.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ebia ɛbɛba mprempren, esiane ɔhaw bebree a mobɛfa mu no nti, mo werɛ bɛhow de, nanso momma mo ani nnye saa asɛm yi ho.
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 Ɔhaw ba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobehu sɛ mo gyidi no yɛ kann. Sikakɔkɔɔ a wotumi sɛe no no mpo, wɔde ogya sɔ hwɛ, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɔ mo gyidi a ɛsom bo kyɛn sikakɔkɔɔ no hwɛ hu sɛ ebetumi agyina ana. Ɛno ansa na da a Yesu Kristo bɛba no, mubenya anuonyam.
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 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munhu Yesu de, nanso modɔ no. Munhu no mprempren de, nanso mugye no di. Anigye a moanya no boro so,
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 efisɛ mo nsa renka gyidi so mfaso a ɛyɛ mo kra nkwagye no.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Saa nkwagye yi na adiyifo no de boasetɔ hwehwɛɛ mu, hyɛɛ saa akyɛde yi a Onyankopɔn de bɛma mo no ho nkɔm.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 Wɔpɛɛ sɛ wohu bere no ne ɔkwan a ɛnam so bɛba. Saa bere yi ne bere a Kristo Honhom a ɛte wɔn mu no rekyerɛ wɔ nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Kristo amanehunu a ɔbɛfa mu ne anuonyam a ebedi akyi no ho.
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 Onyankopɔn daa no adi kyerɛɛ saa adiyifo no sɛ, wɔanyɛ adwuma no amma wɔn ho, na mmom wɔyɛ de som mo. Wɔnam Honhom Kronkron a wɔsomaa no fii ɔsoro no tumi so kaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ abɔfo no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛte Asɛmpa yi de, nanso wɔde brɛɛ mo nko ara.
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 Enti munsi mo adwene pi na munni dwuma. Munnyina yiye na momma mo ani nna nhyira a wɔde bɛma mo Yesu Kristo ba a ɔbɛba no mu no so.
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 Muntie Onyankopɔn, na mommma akɔnnɔ abrabɔ a edii mo so bere a na munnim no no nni mo so.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 Na mmom monyɛ kronkron wɔ biribiara a moyɛ mu, sɛnea Onyankopɔn a ɔfrɛɛ mo no yɛ kronkron no.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kronkron, efisɛ meyɛ kronkron.”
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Monkae sɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro a mobɔ no mpae no nhwɛ nnipa anim wɔ nʼatemmu mu. Ɛno nti momfa nidi nyinaa mma no wɔ mo nna a aka mo wɔ asase yi so no.
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 Efisɛ munim bo a wotua de gyee mo fii abrabɔ bɔne a mo nananom kyerɛɛ mo no mu. Ɛnyɛ ade a ɛhwere ne bo a ɛsom te sɛ dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ no.
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 Kristo a ɔte sɛ oguamma a onni dɛm no de ne ho bɔɔ afɔre a ne bo yɛ den ma munyaa ahofadi.
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 Ansa na wɔrebɔ wiase no, na Onyankopɔn ayi no na mo nti na nna a edi akyiri no wɔdaa no adi no.
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 Ɛnam ne so na mugyee Onyankopɔn a onyan no fii awufo mu na ɔmaa no anuonyam no dii. Ɛnam so ama mo gyidi ne mo anidaso ase atim wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no.
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 Afei a moayɛ osetie ama nokware no nti, mo ho atew na mododɔ mo nuanom agyidifo nokware mu yi, mumfi mo koma nyinaa mu nnodɔ mo ho mo ho.
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 Efisɛ wɔawo mo foforo; emfi aba a ɛporɔw mu, na mmom efi Onyankopɔn asɛm a ɛmporɔw no mu. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Nnipa nyinaa te sɛ sare; na wɔn anuonyam te sɛ nhwiren. Sare no wu ma ne nhwiren no po,
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
