1 Bitrus 2
1 Bara nani ceon adadu ananzan likot vat, urusuzu liti, nshina nin liru uhem.
Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.
2 Nafo nono nipesse, idi ntok mmazin milau min ruhu, inan kunjo nan nya utucu minin,
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
3 andi ina ciro ise cikilarie di nin kibinai kisheu.
now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 Dan kiti nlenge na amere litala nlai longo na anite na nari, ama Kutelle na fere linin nloli di ghe gongong.
As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,
5 Anung wang masin nafo alala nlaiyari alenge na ina kye iso nilari nruhu, inan so a pristoci alau na ima nakpizu uhadaya nruhu ulenge na Kutelle ma seru unuzun Yesu Kristi.
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Uliru ntuce nworo nenge, “lanzang nna nonko nsihiyona litala liguda kutyi, lin cizunu, licine a licaut. Ulenge na a yinna ninghe na aina ti ncing ba”.
For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
7 Ngongonghe min fere na uyinna ama, “litala na anan kye kutiye wa nari, linnare nso litala liguea kutiye”
To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 a litala ntirzu a kuparang ntirizu” I tirzo, inari uyinnu nin lirue, ulenge na imung wang iwa fere nani mun.
and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
9 Anung imus nferuwari, a pirist tigo, nmyin milau, annit Kutelle an litime, inan belle katwa kazikiki nlenge na ana yicila minu unuzu nan nya nsirt ucindu nan nya nkanang mi zikiki.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
10 Na iwa mandi anit ba, ana nene idi anit Kutelle. Na iwa seru nkunekune ba, ama nene ina seru nkunekune.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 Yenen, nna yicila minu nafo amara nin na nan galu inan wantina atimine ntok nalapi, alenge na adin su likum nin tilai mine.
Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.
12 Yitan nin nadu a cine nan a cine nan nya na nan salin dortu Kutelle, bara, asa isu uliru na timine nworu ina su imon inanzang, ima su seng izazin Kutelle lirin nsa me.
Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
13 Nonkon ati nin tigo nanit vat bara likilari, sa ugo na amere udya vat,
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
14 sa anan tigo na ina tu nani ida ti anan nalapi ineo inin zazin alenge na idin sa katwa kacine.
or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15 Bara nanere usu Kutelle, nan nya nsu nimon icine itursu uliru tinu nanit alalang.
For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Nafo ale na idi licin ba, na iwa su katwa nin salin yitulicin mine imon tursuzu katwa ka nanzang, ana son nafo acin Kutelle.
Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
17 Ghantiuan anit vat. Tan usu linuwana, tan fiue Kutelle ghantinan Ugo.
Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
18 Acin, nan nibinai mine kiti nan cinilari mine nan nyan nonku nati, na kiti nan cinilari acine cas ba, umunu a nanazanghe wang.
Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.
19 Bara imon ngongonghari asa umong ntere kibinai nan nyan konu a ayita nniu asa i waso uliru na dert ba bara uni litime kiti Kutelle.
For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.
20 Mmari mi mashinari diku uwa ti kulapi unin ti anyi akona kubi nhoro? Ama asa uta imon icine umin nneo kubin horo, ilele imon ngongonghari kiti Kutelle.
How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
21 Kiti nilelere iwa yicila minu, Kristi wang na sono unin bara anughe, amini na sun udursuzu nworu among dofin libo me
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:
22 Na an ti kulapi ba; a na ina se kinu nnu me ba.
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
23 Na iwa zogoghe, na awa tunu izoge ba, na awa neo, na nan tunu uniwe ba, ama ana ni litime kiti nlenge na adin su ushara dert.
When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.
24 Ame litime na yaun alapi bite kidowo me udu kitene kuca, bara arik wa kuru ti se ndinong kulapi, arik nan se tiso anan sali na lapi. Bara anit kidowo me ina se ushinu tikonu mine.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”
25 Vat mine na galu nafo akam nwulu, ame nene ina kpilin kiti nnan libyawe nin nan yenju tilai mine.
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
