I Peter 1

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

Se mwen menm, Pyè, apòt Jezikri, k'ap ekri lèt sa a pou nou tout ki fè pati pèp Bondye te chwazi a men k'ap viv tankou etranje, gaye nan peyi Pon, Galasi, Kapadòs, Lazi ak Bitini.

Elect 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.

Se Bondye Papa a ki te chwazi nou dapre plan li te fè davans lan. Gremesi Sentespri li a, li mete nou apa pou li pou n' obeyi Jezikri, pou san Jezikri ki koule pou nou an ka mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. M'ap mande Bondye pou nou resevwa anpil benediksyon ak kè poze.

Blessed 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,

Ann fè lwanj Bondye, Papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske, nan kè sansib li, li ban nou lavi ankò lè li te fè Jezikri leve soti vivan nan lanmò a. Sa fè nou viv ak anpil espwa.

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

N'ap tann lè pou n' resevwa eritaj Bondye a, eritaj ki p'ap janm pouri, ki p'ap janm sal, ni ki p'ap janm pèdi frechè l', eritaj li sere pou nou nan syèl la.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Paske nou menm nou gen konfyans nan li, Bondye ap pwoteje nou ak pouvwa li jouk la delivre nou jan sa pral parèt aklè nan dènye tan an.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

Sa fè nou kontan anpil, menm si koulye a nou blije gen lapenn anpil pou yon ti tan, avèk tout kalite eprèv n'ap sibi yo.

That 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:

Paske, konfyans nou se tankou lò li ye. Yo blije pase lò a, ki yon bagay perisab, nan dife pou wè si l' bon. Konsa tou, konfyans nou ki gen plis valè pase lò a gen pou pase anba eprèv tou, pou nou ka resevwa lwanj, onè ak respè lè Jezikri va parèt.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Nou renmen l', atout nou pa te wè l'; nou gen konfyans nan li, atout nou pa wè l' koulye a. Konsa, nou kontan ak yon kontantman nou pa ka esplike men ki merite lwanj,

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

paske nou jwenn sa nou t'ap chache lè nou te kwè a: delivrans pou nanm nou.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

Pwofèt yo te chache anpil, yo te fouye anpil pou yo te ka konnen ki jan Bondye t'ap delivre nou. Yo te di davans ki kalite favè Bondye tapral fè nou.

Searching 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.

Lespri Kris la ki te nan yo te fè yo konnen davans tou sa Kris la tapral soufri, ansanm ak lwanj ki t'ap tann li apre sa. Men, yo t'ap chache konnen tou kilè ak nan ki sikonstans sa tapral rive.

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 Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Se konsa, Bondye fè yo konnen sèvis yo t'ap fè lè yo te bay mesaj la, se pa t' pou yo, men pou nou. Gremesi moun k'ap anonse nou bon nouvèl la, avèk pouvwa Sentespri ki soti nan syèl la, nou konnen bagay sa yo koulye a, bagay ata zanj yo ta renmen konprann.

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;

Se poutèt sa, konnen byen sa nou pral fè. Mete tèt nou an plas. Mete tout espwa nou nan benediksyon nou pral resevwa lè Jezikri va parèt.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Tankou timoun obeyisan, pa kite move lanvi nou te genyen nan tan lontan yo mennen lavi nou ankò, tankou anvan lè nou pa t' konn Bondye.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Okontrè, nan tou sa n'ap fè, se pou nou bon nèt, tankou Bondye ki rele nou an bon nèt tou.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Se pou nou bon nèt, paske mwen menm, mwen bon nèt.

And 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:

Si lè n'ap lapriyè nou rele Bondye: Papa, li menm ki p'ap gade sou figi moun men k'ap jije tout moun menm jan dapre sa yo fè, se pou nou viv ak krentif pou Bondye pandan ti tan ki rete pou nou pase sou tè a.

Forasmuch 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;

Bondye wete nou nan lavi san sans nou te resevwa nan men zansèt nou yo. Nou konnen sa li te peye pou sa. Se pa t' avèk bagay ki ka pèdi valè yo tankou lajan ak lò.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Men, se avèk gwo ofrann san Kris la ki te koule lè li te ofri tèt li tankou yon ti mouton san defo ni ankenn enfimite.

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Bondye te chwazi l' pou sa depi anvan li te kreye tout bagay. Men, se nan dènye tan sa yo li vin parèt pou byen nou.

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.

Gremesi Kris la, nou gen konfyans nan Bondye ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò, nan Bondye ki te ba l' lwanj. Konsa, nou mete tout konfyans nou ak tout espwa nou nan Bondye.

Seeing 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:

Koulye a, lè n'ap obeyi verite a, nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis Bondye, pou nou sa gen yon renmen sensè pou frè yo. Se sak fè, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt ak tout kè nou, ak tout fòs nou.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Gremesi pawòl Bondye a ki yon pawòl vivan epi ki la pou tout tan, nou resevwa yon lòt lavi. Fwa sa a, nou pa soti nan yon jèm ki ka mouri, men nan yon jèm ki pa ka mouri.

For 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:

Jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Moun, se tankou zèb yo ye. Tout bèl ou wè yo bèl la, se tankou flè zèb la yo ye. Zèb la chèch, flè a tonbe.

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Men, pawòl Bondye a la pou tout tan. Se pawòl sa a bon nouvèl la te pote ban nou.
