I Peter 1

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

Petera, Apostolin'i Jesosy Kristy, mamangy ny mpivahiny monina any am-pielezana any Ponto, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia sy Bitynia, dia olom-boafidy

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.

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.

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,

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,

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

ho amin'ny lova tsy mety simba, tsy misy loto, tsy mety levona, voatahiry any an-danitra ho anareo,

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

izay arovan'ny herin'Andriamanitra amin'ny finoana ho amin'ny famonjena efa vonona haseho any am-parany.

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

Izany no iravoravoanareo, na dia ampalahelovina vetivety ankehitriny amin'ny fakam-panahy maro samy hafa aza ianareo, raha tsy maintsy hisy izany,

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:

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;

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:

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,

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

mandray ny anton'ny finoanareo, dia ny famonjena ny fanahy.

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

Ny amin'izany famonjena izany dia notadiavin'ny mpaminany sy nokatsahiny fatratra, dia ireo efa naminany ny fahasoavana ho anareo;

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.

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.

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.

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 Masina, Izay nirahina avy tany an-danitra; izany zavatra izany dia tian'ny anjely hodinihina.

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;

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;

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

tahaka ny zanaka manoa, tsy mitondra tena araka ny filanareo fahiny tamin'ny tsi-fahalalanareo;

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

fa araka ny fahamasinan'ilay niantso anareo, dia aoka mba ho masina koa ianareo amin'ny fitondran-tena rehetra,

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

satria voasoratra hoe: "Ho masina ianareo, satria masina Aho" (Lev. 11.44).

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:

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 ;

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;

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,

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

fa ny rà soan'i Kristy, toy ny ran'ny zanak'ondry tsy misy kilema ary tsy misy pentimpentina;

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

Izay fantatra rahateo, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan'izao tontolo izao, fa efa naseho tamin'izao andro farany izao noho ny aminareo

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.

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.

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:

Satria efa nodiovinareo ny fanahinareo tamin'ny fanarahana ny fahamarinana ho amin'ny fitiavan-drahalahy tsy miangatra dia mifankatiava fatratra amin'ny fo;

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

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.

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:

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;

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

Fa ny tenin'ny Tompo maharitra mandrakizay" (Isa. 40.6 - 8). Ary izany no tenin'ny filazantsara izay notorina taminareo.
