1 Bitrus 2
1 Bara nani ceon adadu ananzan likot vat, urusuzu liti, nshina nin liru uhem.
Therefore, set aside all malice and all deceitfulness, as well as falseness and envy and every detraction.
2 Nafo nono nipesse, idi ntok mmazin milau min ruhu, inan kunjo nan nya utucu minin,
Like newborn infants, desire the milk of reasonableness without guile, so that by this you may increase unto salvation,
3 andi ina ciro ise cikilarie di nin kibinai kisheu.
if it is true that you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
4 Dan kiti nlenge na amere litala nlai longo na anite na nari, ama Kutelle na fere linin nloli di ghe gongong.
And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, certainly, but elect and honored by God,
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.
be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up 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”.
Because of this, Scripture asserts: “Behold, I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”
7 Ngongonghe min fere na uyinna ama, “litala na anan kye kutiye wa nari, linnare nso litala liguea kutiye”
Therefore, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into the head of the corner,
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 offense, and a rock of scandal, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.
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 generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has 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.
Though in past times you were not a people, yet now you are the people of God. Though you had not obtained mercy, yet now you have obtained 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.
Most beloved, I beg you, as new arrivals and sojourners, to abstain from carnal desires, which battle against the 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.
Keep your behavior among the Gentiles to what is good, so that, when they slander you as if you were evildoers, they may, by the good works that are seen in you, glorify God on the day of visitation.
13 Nonkon ati nin tigo nanit vat bara likilari, sa ugo na amere udya vat,
Therefore, be subject to every human creature because of God, whether it is to the king as preeminent,
14 sa anan tigo na ina tu nani ida ti anan nalapi ineo inin zazin alenge na idin sa katwa kacine.
or to leaders as having been sent from him for vindication over evildoers, it is truly for the praise of what is good.
15 Bara nanere usu Kutelle, nan nya nsu nimon icine itursu uliru tinu nanit alalang.
For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may bring about the silence of imprudent and ignorant 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.
in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God.
17 Ghantiuan anit vat. Tan usu linuwana, tan fiue Kutelle ghantinan Ugo.
Honor everyone. Love brotherhood. 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, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and meek, but also to the unruly.
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 this is grace: when, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice.
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.
For what glory is there, if you sin and then suffer a beating? But if you do well and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.
21 Kiti nilelere iwa yicila minu, Kristi wang na sono unin bara anughe, amini na sun udursuzu nworu among dofin libo me
For you have been called to this because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps.
22 Na an ti kulapi ba; a na ina se kinu nnu me ba.
He committed no sin, neither was deceit 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.
And when evil was spoken against him, he did not speak evil. When he suffered, he did not threaten. Then he handed himself over to him who judged him unjustly.
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 upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been 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 wandering sheep. But now you have been turned back toward the Pastor and the Bishop of your souls.
