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, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect 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.
in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you.
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 has regenerated us into a living hope, through 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 incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
5 Nan nya likara Kutelle idi nin icessu nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu bara utucu ule na ima dursu kubi nimalin.
By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
6 sun liburi libo nan nya nilele, nene imon gbardang nta minu liburi lisirne bara udumunuzu nan nayiri gbardang
In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
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.
so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor 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.
For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 Idin seru ntueu tilai mine bara uyinnu sa uyenu mine.
returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
10 A Annabawa na dortu ipizira nin nonku nibinai ublen ntueu ulele nin bolu Kutelle ulenge na udi un bite.
About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in 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.
inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.
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 them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.
13 Bara nani son dan inonko nibinai mine, iceo ayi mine kitene nbolu Kutelle na ima diminu mun kubi nsa in Yesu Kristi.
For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Nato nono ndortu nliru na iwa ni ati mine ntok nile imon na amung yiru ining ba.
Be like sons of obedience, not conforming to the desires of your former ignorance,
15 Nato ulenge na nan yicila minu adi lau, amung wang, yitan lau nan nya na dadu mine.
but in accord with him who has called you: the Holy One. And in every behavior, you yourself must be holy,
16 Nato na ina nyerting, “yitan lau, bara na meng wang di lau”.
for it is written: “You 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 you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
18 Anung yiru na iwa seru minu nin nizinariya sa azurta imon nanuzu ba, sa lissosin tilalang na ina se kiti na cif mine,
For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,
19 ana nin nmii mi lau nmiu Gono Kutelle min salin dinong.
but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,
20 Iwa fere Kristi ku kafin ituno uyii ulele, ana nan nya nayiri nimalin ina durso minu ame.
foreknown, certainly, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter 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.
Through him, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would 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.
So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.
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)
For you have been born again, not from corruptible seed, but from what is incorruptible, from the Word of God, living and remaining for all eternity. (aiōn g165)
24 Bara nidowo vat masin nafo ukpiari a vat ngogong me nafo kuburin nkpi.
For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.
