1 Bitrus 2
1 Bara nani ceon adadu ananzan likot vat, urusuzu liti, nshina nin liru uhem.
Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,
2 Nafo nono nipesse, idi ntok mmazin milau min ruhu, inan kunjo nan nya utucu minin,
As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 andi ina ciro ise cikilarie di nin kibinai kisheu.
If indeed ye 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.
To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed 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.
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 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”.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Ngongonghe min fere na uyinna ama, “litala na anan kye kutiye wa nari, linnare nso litala liguea kutiye”
To you therefore who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made 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 stumbling, and a rock of offense, [even to them] who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also 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 ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath 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.
Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now 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.
Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war 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.
Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Nonkon ati nin tigo nanit vat bara likilari, sa ugo na amere udya vat,
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
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 to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 Bara nanere usu Kutelle, nan nya nsu nimon icine itursu uliru tinu nanit alalang.
For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to 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.
As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Ghantiuan anit vat. Tan usu linuwana, tan fiue Kutelle ghantinan Ugo.
Honor all [men]. Love the 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 gentle, but also to the froward.
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] thank-worthy, if a man for conscience towards God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.
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 it], if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear 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 even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Na an ti kulapi ba; a na ina se kinu nnu me ba.
Who 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.
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
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.
Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 Vat mine na galu nafo akam nwulu, ame nene ina kpilin kiti nnan libyawe nin nan yenju tilai mine.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
