1 Petulo 1
1 Une che Petulo, nduna ju Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵansagulikwe ni Akunnungu, ni ŵampwilingene ni ŵankutama nti achalendo ku Ponto ni ku Galatia ni ku Kapadokia ni ku Asia ni ku Bisinia.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Akunnungu Atati ŵansagwile ŵanyamwe malinga ni iŵasachile ni kuntenda mme ŵaswejekwe kwa litala lya Mbumu, kuti nkombole kunjitichisya Che Yesu Kilisito ni kujosekwa ni miasi jao. Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele chachijinji.
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.
3 Twalape Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito! Kwa chanasa chao chachikulungwa ŵatuŵeleche sooni kwa kunsyusya Che Yesu. Atupele chilolelo cha umi,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope
4 nipele tukulolela kupochela indu yambone yejinji, yati Akunnungu ŵaŵichile ŵandu ŵao kwinani kwangaikuwola atamuno kujonasika atamuno kusisina.
in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,
5 Chiuŵe wenu ŵanyamwe ŵankugosekwa ni machili ga Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi, kwa ukulupusyo wauli chile kuunukukwa pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:
6 Msengwanje nkati yeleyo, namuno sambano, kwa katema kakajipi, chinsachilwe kulaga kwa ligongo lya malinjilo gamajinji.
in which you rejoice, though now for a little while, since it is needful, you are in sorrow under various temptations;
7 Kulinjikwa kwenu ko kuli kwa liŵamba lya kuchipima chikulupi chenu iŵaga chili cha usyene. Pakuŵa namose sahabu jili chindu cha konasika, jikulinjikwa ni mooto. Iyoyo peyo chikulupi chenu chachili cha ndalama kupunda sahabu chichilinjikwe kuti chimanyiche iŵaga chili chisyene. Ni kwa ligongo lyo chimpochele lumbili ni ukulu ni luchimbichimbi katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachakopochele.
that your faith, when proved, being much more precious than gold, which perishes though it be tried by fire, may be found to be for praise and honor and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 Ŵanyamwe nkwanonyela ŵelewo namuno nganimwawone ni nkwakulupilila namuno ngankwawona kwa sambano. Nipele nkusengwa nnope kwa lukondwa lwekulu lwangalukuŵechetekwa,
whom, though you have not seen him, yet you love; on whom not now looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory,
9 pakuŵa mkupochela mbote ja kukulupilila kwenu, jelejo jili chiwombosyo chenu.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵasosilesosile ni ŵalolitelolite yankati ukulupusyo wo, ŵanyawo ŵasagamukwile yankati ntuuka wati Akunnungu chachimpa ŵanyamwe.
Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,
11 Ŵasosile kumanyilila chiiŵe katema chi ni chiŵeuli. Chindu chachiŵechetekwe ni Mbumu jwa Kilisito ŵaali nkati mwao, juŵalongolele kusala nkati masauko gachigaasimane Kilisito ni ukulu uchiukopochele pakumala yeleyo.
inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, beforehand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them;
12 Akunnungu ŵaunukulile ŵakulondola kuti utenga uŵajenesye ula nganiwagamba ŵele achinsyene, nambo wangambaga ŵanyamwe. Ni sambano utenga wo ulalichikwe kukwenu ni ŵele ŵaŵanlalichile ŵanyamwe Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juŵatumikwe kutyochela kwinani. Indu yo, namuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani akulajila kwimanya.
to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.
13 Kwa ligongo lyo, mmeje chile ni kuchesya. Mmichanje chilolelo chenu chose mu umbone wa Akunnungu uchimpegwe katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachaunukulikwe.
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
14 Mmeje mpela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵakujitichisya, nkatama kwa kujikuya misese jenu jangalumbana jimwaliji najo katema pamwaliji ngankuumanyilila usyene wa Akunnungu.
as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;
15 Nambo mpela jwele jwammilasile yatite kuŵa jwanswela, nomwe ŵakwe mme ŵaswela mu lwendo lwenu lose.
but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior:
16 Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mme ŵaswela, pakuŵa none ndili jwanswela.”
because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.
17 Pankwakolanga Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nkwaŵilanga Atati. Nipele, mmanyililanje kuti ŵelewo akunlamula jwalijose malinga ni aila yaitesile pangali lusagu. Kwayele njendelechele kutama yambone pa katema kakasigalile pachilambo pano nkwachimbichisya Akunnungu kwannope.
And since you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
18 Pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe ŵammombwelwe mu wende wenu wangalimate, umwapochele kutyochela kwa achachekulu ŵenu. Nambo nganammombola kwa indu yakuwola, pane kwa maganga ga mbiya pane sahabu.
because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers,
19 Nambo mwakulupwiswe kwa miasi ja ndalama jajikulungwa ja Kilisito. Jwali mpela mwanangondolo jwangali chilema namose lidoa.
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,
20 Ŵelewo ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo, ŵaunukulikwe mmoŵa ga mbesi gano kwa ligongo lyetu.
who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
21 Kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito, nkwakulupilila Akunnungu juŵansyusisye ni kwapa ukulu, ni mwa yeleyo chikulupi ni chilolelo chenu ili kwa Akunnungu.
who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Pakuŵa sambano, kwa kuujitichisya usyene, ŵanyamwe nswejeswe mbumu syenu ni kwanonyela achinjenu pangali ulamba. Nipele nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose.
Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently,
23 Pakuŵa mpagwile kaaŵili ngaŵa kwa mundu jwakuwa nambo kwa mundu jwangakuwa, lisyene lili Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyalili lyalijumi, ni lyalikulama moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Ŵandu wose ali mpela masamba, ni ukulu wao wose uli mpela uluŵa wa masamba. Masamba gakuumula ni uluŵa ukupatuka.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass; the grass withers, and its flower fails away:
