1 Bitrus 1
1 Bitrus unan kaduran Yesu Kristi ucindu kiti na nan feriu alenge na iwa malu kiti du Ubuntus, Ugalatiwa, Kappadokiya, Asiya nin Butiniya,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Nan nyan in yisu Kutelle ucif, nan nyan nkusu ulau nruhu, nin dortun nlirun Yesu Kristi, nin zaminu nmyi me. Na ubolu Kuttelle so nan ghinu, a na lissosin limang mine kpin.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3 Na Kutelle nin cif ncikilari bite Yesu Kristi se mmari. Bari ngbardang nkunekune me ufitun in Yesu Kristi nan nya na nan kul na ti tina nase umaru upese nin nayi akone,
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 nan nyan ngadu ule na uma nanu ba, na una biju ba ana una wulu ba ina ceo unin kitene kani bar anung.
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Nan nya likara Kutelle idi nin icessu nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu bara utucu ule na ima dursu kubi nimalin.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 sun liburi libo nan nya nilele, nene imon gbardang nta minu liburi lisirne bara udumunuzu nan nayiri gbardang
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations,
7 Una so nani bara inan dumuna uyinnu mine sa cuyenu, uyinnu sa uyenu ule na ukatin finariya nin gegame tongo na ina ti nla inan yene ngegeme fining as a finana. Una so nani bara uyinnu sa ciyemu bite nan se uzazunu nin gongong a ughantinu kubi nsa in Yesu Kristi.
that the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, might be found unto praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 Na ina yene ghe ba, ana idi nin su me, Na iyene ghe nene ba, ama ina yinin minghe idi nin nayi abo, nin nayi abo ale na akatin ubellu ana alenge na a kulun nin gongong.
whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Idin seru ntueu tilai mine bara uyinnu sa uyenu mine.
receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
10 A Annabawa na dortu ipizira nin nonku nibinai ublen ntueu ulele nin bolu Kutelle ulenge na udi un bite.
Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto you:
11 Iwa pizuru iyinin uyapin utucuari din cinu ikuru ipizira nin kome kubeari uruhu Nkristi ulenge nan nya mine wadin liru naan ghiru kitene. Uwa so nani a belle nani a kubi dutu ubelen nniu Nkristi nin gongong me na mina dofughe.
searching what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
12 Iwa duro a Annabawe utucue, na bara atimine ba, ama nara ubellun nluru ntucue nan nyan Ruhu ulenge na ina tumun unuzu kitene Kutelle imon ilenge na imung anan kadura Kutelle wa piziru i durso.
To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Bara nani son dan inonko nibinai mine, iceo ayi mine kitene nbolu Kutelle na ima diminu mun kubi nsa in Yesu Kristi.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Nato nono ndortu nliru na iwa ni ati mine ntok nile imon na amung yiru ining ba.
as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] your ignorance:
15 Nato ulenge na nan yicila minu adi lau, amung wang, yitan lau nan nya na dadu mine.
but like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
16 Nato na ina nyerting, “yitan lau, bara na meng wang di lau”.
because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
17 Andi idin yicui ucif, ulenge na adin sa ushara sa usu liti adin su unin unuzun katwa in ko uyeme unit, sun lissosin nca mine nan nya ntoltuno nati.
And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
18 Anung yiru na iwa seru minu nin nizinariya sa azurta imon nanuzu ba, sa lissosin tilalang na ina se kiti na cif mine,
knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;
19 ana nin nmii mi lau nmiu Gono Kutelle min salin dinong.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:
20 Iwa fere Kristi ku kafin ituno uyii ulele, ana nan nya nayiri nimalin ina durso minu ame.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,
21 unuzu mere ina yinin nin Kutelle, ulenge na Kutelle wa fyaghe nan nya na nan kul, ulenge na ana nighe ngogong bara uyinnu sa uyenu mine nan se ayi akone kiti Kutelle.
who through him are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Ina ti ati mine lau nan nya dortu kidegen, bara usu kidegen linuana, yitan nin su linuana kang nan nya nibinau mine.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:
23 Ina kuru imara minu tutung na nin nimus in bijizu ba ana nin in salin bijizu, unuzun na nan lai nin gisin nliru Kutelle. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (aiōn g165)
24 Bara nidowo vat masin nafo ukpiari a vat ngogong me nafo kuburin nkpi.
For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
