Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 àwọn ẹni tí a ti yàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìmọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba, nípa ìsọdimímọ́ Ẹ̀mí, sí ìgbọ́ràn àti ìbùwọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ Jesu Kristi: Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà máa bí sì fún yín.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 àti sínú ogún àìdíbàjẹ́, àti àìlábàwọ́n, àti èyí tí kì í ṣá, tí a ti fi pamọ́ ni ọ̀run dè yin,
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,
5 ẹyin tí a ń pamọ́ nípa agbára Ọlọ́run nípa ìgbàgbọ́ si ìgbàlà, tí a múra láti fihàn ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn.
who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Ẹ yọ̀ nínú èyí púpọ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pe nísinsin yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀, níwọ̀n bí ó ti yẹ, a ti fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìdánwò bá yín nínú jẹ́.
In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order
7 Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì wáyé ki ìdánwò ìgbàgbọ́ yín tí ó ni iye lórí ju wúrà, ti ń ṣègbé lọ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé iná ni a fi ń dán an wò, lè yọrísí ìyìn àti ògo àti ọlá ni ìgbà ìfarahàn Jesu Kristi.
that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 Ẹni tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́ láìrí, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin gbàgbọ́, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ kò rí i nísinsin yìí ẹ̀yin sì ń yọ ayọ̀ tí a kò lè fi ẹnu sọ, tí ó sì kún fún ògo;
whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 ẹyin sì ń gba ìlépa ìgbàgbọ́ yín, àní ìgbàlà ọkàn yín.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ní ti ìgbàlà yìí, àwọn wòlíì tí wọ́n sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ tí ó mú tọ̀ yín wá, wọ́n wádìí jinlẹ̀ lẹ́sọ̀ lẹ́sọ̀.
Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated,
11 Wọ́n ń wádìí ìgbà wo tàbí irú sá à wo ni Ẹ̀mí Kristi tí ó wà nínú wọ́n ń tọ́ka sí, nígbà tí ó jẹ́rìí ìyà Kristi àti ògo tí yóò tẹ̀lé e.
searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show:
12 Àwọn ẹni tí a fihàn fún, pé kì í ṣe fún àwọn tìkára wọn, bí kò ṣe fún àwa ni wọ́n ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ohun wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí a ti ròyìn fún yin nísinsin yìí, láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tó ti ń wàásù ìyìnrere náà fún yín nípasẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ tí a rán wá láti ọ̀run; ohun tí àwọn angẹli ń fẹ́ láti wò.
to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.
13 Nítorí náà, ẹ múra ọkàn yín sílẹ̀, ẹ kó ara yín ní ìjánu, kí ẹ sì fi ìrètí yín ní kíkún sí oore-ọ̀fẹ́, èyí tí a ń mu bọ̀ fún yin ni ìgbà ìfarahàn Jesu Kristi.
Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Bí àwọn ọmọ tí ń gbọ́rọ̀, ẹ ma ṣe da ara yín pọ̀ mọ́ ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ àìmọ́ yín ti àtijọ́.
As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:
15 Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí o pè yin ti jẹ mímọ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ̀yin náà jẹ mímọ́.
but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;
16 Nítorí a ti kọ ọ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ mímọ́: nítorí tí Èmi jẹ mímọ́!”
because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.
17 Níwọ́n bí ẹ̀yin ti ń ké pe Baba, ẹni tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ olúkúlùkù láìṣe ojúsàájú, ẹ máa lo ìgbà àtìpó yin ni ìbẹ̀rù.
And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,
18 Níwọ̀n bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé a kò fi ohun ìdíbàjẹ́ rà yín padà, bí fàdákà tàbí wúrà kúrò nínú ìwà asán yín, tí ẹ̀yin ti jogún láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba yín.
knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,
19 Ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ iyebíye, bí i ti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn ti kò lábùkù, tí kò sì lábàwọ́n, àní, ẹ̀jẹ̀ Kristi.
but by the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spotless:
20 Ẹni tí a ti mọ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ nítòótọ́ ṣáájú ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, ṣùgbọ́n tí a fihàn ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn wọ̀nyí nítorí yín.
foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you,
21 Àní ẹ̀yin tí o tipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, ẹni ti ó jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú, tí ó sì fi ògo fún un; kí ìgbàgbọ́ àti ìrètí yín lè wà lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God.
22 Níwọ́n bí ẹ̀yin ti wẹ ọkàn yin mọ́ nípa ìgbọ́ràn yín sí òtítọ́ sí ìfẹ́ ará ti kò ní ẹ̀tàn, ẹ fẹ́ ọmọnìkejì yín gidigidi láti ọkàn wá.
Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:
23 Bí a ti tún yín bí, kì í ṣe láti inú ìdíbàjẹ́ wá, bí kò ṣe èyí ti kì í díbàjẹ́ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run tí ń bẹ láààyè tí ó sì dúró. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides. (aiōn g165)
24 Nítorí pé, “Gbogbo ènìyàn dàbí koríko, àti gbogbo ògo rẹ̀ bi ìtànná koríko. Koríko á máa gbẹ ìtànná a sì máa rẹ̀ dànù,
Therefore all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass is withered, and the flower fell off;
