1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Ay, Bitros, ay ya Yesu Almasihu diya no. Ay go ga tiro wo hantum suubanantey kaŋ go say-sayanteyaŋ se, kaŋ yaŋ ciya yawyaŋ Bontos, da Galatiya, da Kabadosiya, da Aziya, da Bitiniya laabey ra.
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
2 Baaba Irikoy n'araŋ suuban nga waado boŋ, Biya _Hanno|_ fay waaniyaŋo Irikoy se do. A n'araŋ suuban hal araŋ ma Yesu Almasihu gana ka hanan mo a kuro say-sayyaŋo do. Gomni nda laakal kanay ma tonton araŋ gaa.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
3 Iri ma saabu iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu Irikoyo se, a Baabo mo no. A suuji beero ra no a n'iri hay hayyaŋ taji a do hal iri ma du beeje* fundikooni Yesu Almasihu tun ka fun buukoy game ra yaŋo do.
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
4 Iri ma du mo tubuyaŋ kaŋ si halaci, kaŋ si ziibi, kaŋ si daray mo. Irikoy n'a jisi beena ra araŋ se,
5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
5 araŋ kaŋ Irikoy dabaro goono ga hallasi araŋ cimbeero* do faaba se kaŋ a soola zama nga m'a bangandi alwaati bananta ra.
6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
6 Araŋ go ga farhã gumo woodin sabbay se, baa d'a ga tilas sohõ araŋ biney ma sara alwaati kayna taabi waani-waani ra.
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
7 Wura ga halaci, baa kaŋ i g'a soogu nda danji hal a ma hanan. Araŋ taabi waani-waaney mo g'araŋ cimbeero, kaŋ ga bisa wura darza, gosi hal a ma tabbat, hal araŋ cimbeero gosiyaŋo bananta mo ma ciya sifayaŋ da darza nda beeray hari Yesu Almasihu bangandiyaŋo waate.
8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
8 Araŋ ga ba Yesu, baa kaŋ araŋ mana di a. Araŋ goono g'a cimandi mo, baa kaŋ araŋ siino ga di a sohõ. Araŋ goono ga farhã gumo nda farhã kaŋ ga bisa ciyaŋ, kaŋ to da darza mo.
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
9 Zama araŋ goono ga du araŋ cimbeero timmandiyaŋo kaŋ ga ti araŋ fundey faaba.
10Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
10 Annabey* kaŋ na annabitaray te gomno boŋ kaŋ Irikoy soola ka jisi araŋ se, i na ceeciyaŋ te da anniya ka fintal mo faaba din ciine ra.
11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
11 I goono ga ceeci ngey ma faham alwaati kaŋ no da mate kaŋ cine no a ga kaa d'a, kaŋ Almasihu Biya kaŋ go i ra goono ga cabe, kaŋ a jin ka Almasihu gurzugayey da darza kaŋ ga kaa gurzugayey din banda seeda.
12Unto 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 Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
12 Irikoy bangandi annabey din se kaŋ manti ngey bumbey se no i n'a te bo, amma araŋ se no i na hayey din seeda. Sohõ Baaru Hanna waazukoy n'araŋ kabarandi nd'ey, Biya Hanno do kaŋ Irikoy donton a ma fun beena ra. Hayey din binde, malaykey* ga ba ngey ma faham d'ey gumo.
13Wherefore 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;
13 Woodin sabbay se, sanda mate kaŋ boro ga nga bankaaray guddu goy se, w'araŋ laakaley soola yaadin cine. Wa hin araŋ boŋ, w'araŋ beeja kulu daŋ gomno boŋ kaŋ Irikoy ga kande araŋ se Yesu Almasihu bangandiyaŋo waate.
14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
14 Danga izeyaŋ kaŋ ga baaba gana, wa s'araŋ boŋ sasabandi d'araŋ doŋ ibaay laaley kaŋ araŋ gana, alwaato kaŋ araŋ go jaŋ-ka-bayyaŋ ra.
15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
15 Amma mate kaŋ cine nga kaŋ n'araŋ ce ya Hananyankoy no, yaadin cine no araŋ bumbey mo ma bara ihannoyaŋ araŋ gora kulu ra.
16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
16 Zama i n'a hantum ka ne: «Araŋ ma ciya ihannoyaŋ, Zama ay ya Hananyankoy no.»
17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
17 Araŋ goono ga Irikoy ce «Baaba», nga kaŋ ga ciiti manti nda baar'a-baar'a, amma boro kulu goyo boŋ. Woodin se, w'araŋ yawtaray gora te da Irikoy humburkumay.
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
18 Zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ Irikoy mana araŋ fansa araŋ goray yaama gaa kaŋ araŋ tubu araŋ kaayey do da hayey kaŋ ga halaci, danga nzarfu wala wura.
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
19 Amma Irikoy n'araŋ fansa nda Almasihu kuro kaŋ gonda darza, sanda feej'ize kaŋ sinda dollo wala leebu wane kuri.
20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
20 Irikoy na Almasihu suuban za a mana ndunnya sinji, amma a n'a bangandi araŋ sabbay se alwaati banantey ra.
21Who 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.
21 A do no araŋ goono ga Irikoy cimandi, nga kaŋ n'a tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra k'a no beeray mo, zama araŋ cimbeero d'araŋ beeja ma bara Irikoy ra.
22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
22 Za kaŋ araŋ n'araŋ fundey hanandi araŋ cimi ganayaŋo ra, hal araŋ gonda baakasinay kaŋ sinda munaficitaray nya-izey se, araŋ ma ba care gumo d'araŋ bine kulu.
23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
23 Zama i n'araŋ hay hayyaŋ taji, manti nda dumar'ize kaŋ ga sara, amma da wo kaŋ si sara, Irikoy Sanno do nooya, kaŋ goono ga funa ka goro hal abada.
24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
24 Zama i ne: «Adam-ize kulu go danga subu cine, a darza kulu mo danga subu boosi cine no. Subu ga koogu, booso mo ga kaŋ,
25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
25 Amma Rabbi Sanno ga duumi hal abada.» Woodin mo no ga ti Baaru Hanna sanno kaŋ i waazu araŋ se.
