Hello,

so I got my iphone 5 and I wanted to upgrade it safely to IOS 9 and jailbreak it. The included picture shows the version of my phone and the model is (A1429) how do I know which firmware to download and what my phone in regards to 5.1 and 5.2? I'm kind of lost :(!!

You can stay at the version that you are on, or you can update to the latest public version that Apple offers (currently iOS 9.3.2), or potentially to a public beta version that Apple offers (iOS 10, or perhaps 9.3.3). Those are really the only options.
 
Since iPhones can't be downgraded, an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4 might be valuable to some. Might want to see how much people would give you for it; you might make a profit and then be able to buy another one already on iOS 9. :)
