¹Katar o Petri, ek apostle le Jesus Kristoski, kodolenge kai O Del alosardia ai kai traiin sar streinuria ande kolaver thema, ai hulade pel riga kai si ando Pontuis, ande Galatia, ai ande Cappadocia, ande Asia, ai ande Bithynia.

¹Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

²Tume sanas alome mai anglal katar o Del O Dat, ai tume san leske pala lesko Swunto Duxo te keren so mangel O Jesus Kristo, ai te aven vuzharde katar lesko rat. O mishtimos ai a pacha te aven shorde ande tumare ile.

²according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

³Luvudisaras le Devles O Dat amare Devleske O Jesus Kristo! Kai ande pesko baro lashimos dia ame iek nevo traio kana andia le Jesus Kristos katar e martia ka traio.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁴No kadia si ame iek pachamos zhuvindo, ai sai raduisavas anda mishtimos kai O Del garavel peske manushenge. Ai kodo mishtimos nashtil chi te cherniol, chi te meliavol, ai chi te xasarel pesko strefaimos, ke O Del garavel les ando cheri tumenge.

⁴to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

⁵Tumenge kai san garade katar iek Del kai si les e putiera ai kai pachan tume ande leste, o skepimos sikadiola kana avela e vriama paluno.

⁵who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁶Numa tume raduime san, marka ke akana trobul te aven nekezhime pe xantsi vriama pala le but zumaimata kai aven pe tumende.

⁶Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,

⁷Ke le zumaimata si te sikaven sode si de baro tumaro pachamos. O sumnakai andek dies chi mai avela, numa e iag zumavel les te dikhel leski zor. Sakadia, tumaro pachamos si mai baro sar o sumnakai ai vi trobul te avel zumado, saxke te dichol leski zor. Antunchi tumaro pachamos anel o barimos, luvudimos, ai naisimos ka O Jesus Kristo kana avela palpale.

⁷that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

⁸Tumenge drago O Kristo ai thodian tumaro pachamos ande leste, marka ke chi dikhlian les. Ai pala leste tumaro raduimos baro lo, iek raduimos kai nashtin te mothon, ai kai ande kodo raduimos si e vediara kai avel katar o shukarimos le Devlesko.

⁸whom not having known you love; in whom, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory—

⁹Ke zhanen ke avela tume o skepimos pala tumaro pachamos.

⁹receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

¹⁰Ai kado skeipmos sas rodino ande Vorba le Devleski katar le profeturia, ai kai phende tumenge mai anglal o lashimos kai sas tumenge shinado.

¹⁰Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

¹¹Ai won rodenas te zhanen kana, ai so kerdiola kana o dies le skepimasko avela, ke O Swunto Duxho kai sas ande lende motholas lenge pa skepimos, ke O Swunto Duxo motholas lenge mai anglal o chino kai avela le Kristos, ai o luvudimos pala kodia.

¹¹searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.

¹²Ke O Del sikadia le profetonge ke o lashimos kai delas le te mothon nas lenge, numa tumenge, ai kodo lashimos tume premisardian les akana, le manush kai aven e lashi viasta, kai dine duma la putierasa kai si ande Swunto Duxo kai sas tradino anda rhaio phende tumenge pa kodo lashimos. Ai le angeluria vi won mangline te zhanen kodo lashimos.

¹²To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

¹³Anda kodia thon tumare ginduria andek than ai tumari zor, geton tume te zhan angle ai te keren buchi, na soven, numa azhukeren pala o mishtimos kai avela dino kana O Jesus Kristo avela.

¹³Therefore prepare your minds for action, literally, “gird up the waist of your mind” or “put on the belt of the waist of your mind” be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

¹⁴Keren so mangel tumendar O Del, ai na mai keren le dieli le bi lashe kai kerenas mai anglal kana chi zhanenas le Devles.

¹⁴as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

¹⁵Numa trobul te avel tume iek Swunto traio sar O Del, ke wo kai akhardia tume swunto lo.

¹⁵but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

¹⁶Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Trobul te aven swuntsi, ke me Swunto sim."

¹⁶because it is written, “You shall be holy; for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:44-45

¹⁷Kana rhugin tume, mothon amaro Dat, kodoleske kai del pe kris le manushen bi te alol le manushen, numa kerel le manushensa pala so kerde; anda kodia, e vriama kai mai si tume te traiin pe kadia phuv na keren o nasulimos numa keren so mangel tumendar O Del.

¹⁷If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:

¹⁸Ke zhanen o pretso kai sas pochindo te aven skepime anda traio o bi malado kai mekle sas tumenge tumare dada. Ai den tume goji ke chi sanas chinde le rupesa vai le sumnakasa; ai chi ieka dielasa kai xasarel pesko pretso;

¹⁸knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

¹⁹Nichi, numa trobulsardia O Kristos sar iek bakriorhi bi doshako te shorel pesko rat o kuchi pala tumende.

¹⁹but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;

²⁰Mai anglal sar te avel e lumia O Del alosardiasas le Kristos te kerel kodia buchi, numa akana sikadilo ande kodala vriama le paluno pe tumaro mishtimos.

²⁰who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,

²¹Ke pala leste arakhlian o pachamos ando Del, ai porme O Del zhuvindisardia les mashkar le mule, ai porme dia les o barimos; no kadia tumaro pachamos ai o mishtimos kai azhukeren ando Del le.

²¹who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

²²Tume vuzhilian ke lian tume pala chachimos ai sas tume dini iek podarka iek dragostia kai avel katar O Swunto Duxo. Trobul te aven drazhi iek kavreske sa tumare ilesa sagda.

²²Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

²³Ai samas parhude na katar iek sumuntsa kai cherniol, numa katar iek sumuntsa kai chi cherniol, kodia si E Vorba le Devleski kai zhuvindil ai beshel sagda.

²³having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

²⁴Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Sa le manush sar e char le, e char shuchol, ai sa o luvudimos le manushenge sar e luluji la chariaki le, ai e luluji perel, numa E Vorba le Devleski sagda beshel."

²⁴For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;

²⁵Ai kodia Vorba si e lashi viasta kai ashundian.

²⁵but the Lord’s word endures forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8 This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.
