1 Bitrus 2
1 Bara nani ceon adadu ananzan likot vat, urusuzu liti, nshina nin liru uhem.
Therefore put away all malice, all deceit, insincerity, jealousy, and slander of every sort.
2 Nafo nono nipesse, idi ntok mmazin milau min ruhu, inan kunjo nan nya utucu minin,
Like new-born babes long for the pure spiritual milk to make you grow up into salvation;
3 andi ina ciro ise cikilarie di nin kibinai kisheu.
since you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Dan kiti nlenge na amere litala nlai longo na anite na nari, ama Kutelle na fere linin nloli di ghe gongong.
Come to him then, that living Stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious.
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.
And yourselves like living stones be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God, through Christ Jesus.
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, as Scripture says. Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him shall never be put to shame.
7 Ngongonghe min fere na uyinna ama, “litala na anan kye kutiye wa nari, linnare nso litala liguea kutiye”
For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone 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 stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble over it because they are disobeying God’s word, and to this they were also 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 an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth 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.
you who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; who were once without mercy, but now you have found 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.
I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.
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.
Let your manner of life before the Gentiles be honest; so that, although they are now slandering you as evil-doers, they may, by beholding your noble conduct, come to glorify God, in the day of visitation.
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 authority; whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,
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 sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the encouragement of well-doers.
15 Bara nanere usu Kutelle, nan nya nsu nimon icine itursu uliru tinu nanit alalang.
For it is the will of God that by well-doing you should silence the ignorant talk 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 like free men; and yet do not make your freedom a cloak for misconduct, but be the slaves of God.
17 Ghantiuan anit vat. Tan usu linuwana, tan fiue Kutelle ghantinan Ugo.
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Reverence God. Honor the Emperor.
18 Acin, nan nibinai mine kiti nan cinilari mine nan nyan nonku nati, na kiti nan cinilari acine cas ba, umunu a nanazanghe wang.
Household slaves, submit yourselves to your masters in all reverence; not only to the kind and gentle, but also to the 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 it is an acceptable thing to God, if from a sense of duty to him, a man endures a wrong, even suffering unjustly.
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 credit is it if, when you are struck for a fault, you take it patiently? But if when you are doing well and suffer for it, you always take it patiently, this is acceptable 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 this is your calling; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so 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, Neither was guile 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.
He was reviled, and reviled not back. When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly.
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 bore our sins in his own body upon the tree, in order that we might become dead to sins, and be alive unto righteousness. 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 straying like lost sheep, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
