1 Petera 1
1 Petera, Apostolin’ i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy ny mpivahiny monina any am-pielezana any Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia sy Bitynia, dia olom-boafidy
PETROS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, to the chosen-ones and sojourners who are scattered in Pontos and in Galatia, and in Kapadukia, and in Asia, and in Bithunia:
2 araka ny fahalalana rahateo, izay an’ Andriamanitra Ray, amin’ ny fanamasinan’ ny Fanahy, ho amin’ ny fanarahana sy ny famafazan’ ny ran’ i Jesosy Kristy: hampitomboina ho anareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.
them who are elected by the foreknowledge of Aloha the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be unto obedience, and unto the sprinkling of the blood of Jeshu Meshiha: grace and peace be multiplied with you.
3 Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Izay niteraka antsika indray araka ny haben’ ny famindram-pony ho amin’ ny fanantenana velona tamin’ ny nitsanganan’ i Jesosy Kristy tamin’ ny maty,
Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation,
4 ho amin’ ny lova tsy mety simba, tsy misy loto, tsy mety levona, voatahiry any an-danitra ho anareo,
and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven,
5 izay arovan’ ny herin’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana ho amin’ ny famonjena efa vonona haseho any am-parany.
while you are kept by the power of Aloha and through faith, unto the salvation which is prepared to be revealed in the last times;
6 Izany no iravoravoanareo, na dia ampalahelovina vetivety ankehitriny amin’ ny fakam-panahy maro samy hafa aza ianareo, raha tsy maintsy hisy izany,
wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted by manifold temptations which pass over you;
7 mba ho hita ho fiderana sy voninahitra ary fankalazana ny fizahan-toetra ny finoanareo (izay tsara lavitra noho ny volamena mety ho simba, na dia voazaha toetra tamin’ ny afo aza), dia amin’ ny hisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy;
that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha;
8 Izay, na dia tsy mbola hitanareo aza, dia tianareo, ary na dia tsy hitanareo ankehitriny aza, anefa, satria inoanareo, dia iravoravoanareo amin’ ny fifaliana tsy azo tononina sady be voninahitra,
whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:
9 mandray ny anton’ ny finoanareo, dia ny famonjena ny fanahy.
that you may receive the recompence of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ny amin’ izany famonjena izany dia notadiavin’ ny mpaminany sy nokatsahiny fatratra, dia ireo efa naminany ny fahasoavana ho anareo;
That salvation which the prophets investigated when they prophesied concerning the grace which was to be given unto you,
11 eny, nokatsahiny izay andro na izay toetry ny andro notondroin’ ny Fanahin’ i Kristy ao anatiny, raha nambarany rahateo ny fijalian’ i Kristy sy ny voninahitra manaraka izany.
and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them.
12 Ary naseho tamin’ ireo fa tsy ho azy, fa ho anareo no nanompoany ny amin’ izany zavatra izany, izay voalaza aminareo ankehitriny, tamin’ ny tenin’ ireo nitory ny filazantsara taminareo amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, Izay nirahina avy tany an-danitra; izany zavatra izany dia tian’ ny anjely hodinihina.
And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.
13 Koa amin’ izany sikino ny sainareo, dia mahonona tena, ka antenao tsara ny fahasoavana izay ho entina ho anareo amin’ ny hisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy;
Wherefore gird up the loins of your minds, and be fully wakeful, and hope for the joy that cometh to you at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha;
14 tahaka ny zanaka manoa, tsy mitondra tena araka ny filanareo fahiny tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalanareo;
as obedient children, and not partaking again of the former desires which you desired when ignorant.
15 fa araka ny fahamasinan’ ilay niantso anareo, dia aoka mba ho masìna koa ianareo amin’ ny fitondran-tena rehetra,
But be holy in all your conversations, as he is holy who calleth you;
16 satria voasoratra hoe: “Ho masìna ianareo, satria masìna Aho”.
because it is written, Be ye holy, as I also am holy.
17 Ary raha Ilay tsy mizaha tavan’ olona, fa mitsara araka ny asan’ izy rehetra, no antsoinareo hoe Ray, dia mitondrà tena amin’ ny fahatahorana mandritra ny andron’ ny fivahinianareo etỳ;
And if you call him Father before whom there is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every man according to his works, with fear conduct you in this time of your sojourn;
18 fa fantatrareo fa tsy zavatra mety ho simba, tahaka ny volafotsy sy ny volamena, no nanavotana anareo tamin’ ny fitondran-tena adala, izay azonareo tamin’ ny nentin-drazana,
while you know that not with silver which wasteth away, nor with gold, you have been redeemed from your vain works which you received from your fathers,
19 fa ny rà soan’ i Kristy, toy ny ran’ ny zanak’ ondry tsy misy kilema ary tsy misy pentimpentina;
but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;
20 Izay fantatra rahateo, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan’ izao tontolo izao, fa efa naseho tamin’ izao andro farany izao noho ny aminareo
who was afore-separated for this from before the foundations of the world, and hath been manifested in these last times for you,
21 Izay mino an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny alalany, dia Ilay nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty ka nanome voninahitra Azy, ― mba hiorenan’ ny finoanareo sy ny fanantenanareo amin’ Andriamanitra.
who by him believe in Aloha, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and your hope may be in Aloha.
22 Satria efa nodiovinareo ny fanahinareo tamin’ ny fanarahana ny fahamarinana ho amin’ ny fitiavan-drahalahy tsy miangatra dia mifankatiava fatratra amin’ ny fo;
Let your souls be sanctified in obedience to the truth, and be filled with the charity which respecteth not persons, that with a pure heart and perfect you may love one another,
23 fa efa teraka indray ianareo, tsy tamin’ ny voa mety ho lò, fa tamin’ ny tsy mety ho lò, dia ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, izay velona sady maharitra. (aiōn g165)
as men who are regenerated, not by a perishable seed, but by that which is imperishable, by the living word of Aloha which abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Fa “ny nofo rehetra dia tahaka ny ahitra, Ary izay mety ho voninahiny dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny ahitra. Malazo ny ahitra, ka mihintsana ny voniny;
Because all flesh is grass, and all its beauty as the flower of the field. The grass withereth and the flower drieth up,
