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, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout 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.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, (pneuma) unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
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, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by 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.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Nan nya likara Kutelle idi nin icessu nan nyan in yinnu sa uyenu bara utucu ule na ima dursu kubi nimalin.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 sun liburi libo nan nya nilele, nene imon gbardang nta minu liburi lisirne bara udumunuzu nan nayiri gbardang
Wherein all of you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, all of you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
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.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing 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.
Whom having not seen, all of you love; in whom, though now all of you see him not, yet believing, all of you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Idin seru ntueu tilai mine bara uyinnu sa uyenu mine.
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 A Annabawa na dortu ipizira nin nonku nibinai ublen ntueu ulele nin bolu Kutelle ulenge na udi un bite.
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto 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.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit (pneuma) of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
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.
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Bara nani son dan inonko nibinai mine, iceo ayi mine kitene nbolu Kutelle na ima diminu mun kubi nsa in Yesu Kristi.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Nato nono ndortu nliru na iwa ni ati mine ntok nile imon na amung yiru ining ba.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 Nato ulenge na nan yicila minu adi lau, amung wang, yitan lau nan nya na dadu mine.
But as he which has called you is holy, so be all of you holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Nato na ina nyerting, “yitan lau, bara na meng wang di lau”.
Because it is written, Be all of you 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 all of you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Anung yiru na iwa seru minu nin nizinariya sa azurta imon nanuzu ba, sa lissosin tilalang na ina se kiti na cif mine,
Forasmuch as all of you know that all of you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 ana nin nmii mi lau nmiu Gono Kutelle min salin dinong.
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Iwa fere Kristi ku kafin ituno uyii ulele, ana nan nya nayiri nimalin ina durso minu ame.
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
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.
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might 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.
Seeing all of you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit (pneuma) unto sincere love of the brethren, see that all of you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
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)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word (logos) of God, which lives and abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Bara nidowo vat masin nafo ukpiari a vat ngogong me nafo kuburin nkpi.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:
