1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners that are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro, mupostori waJesu Kristu, kuvasanangurwa vaMwari, vatorwa munyika, vakapararira muPondasi yose, neGaratia, neKapadhokia, Ezhia neBhitinia,
2 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.
vakasarudzwa maererano nokuziva zviri mberi kunoita Mwari Baba, kubudikidza nebasa roMweya rokuvaita vatsvene, kuti vateerere kuna Jesu Kristu nokusaswa neropa rake: Nyasha norugare ngazviwande kwamuri.
3 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
Mwari, Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, ngaarumbidzwe! Nengoni dzake huru, akatibereka patsva akatipinza mutariro mhenyu nokumuka kwaJesu Kristu kubva kuvakafa,
4 in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,
akatiisa munhaka isingagoni kuparara, isingaori kana kusvava, yamakachengeterwa kudenga,
5 who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:
imi munodzivirirwa nesimba raMwari nokutenda kusvikira ruponeso rwauya rwakagadzirirwa kuti ruratidzwe munguva dzokupedzisira.
6 in which you rejoice, though now for a little while, since it is needful, you are in sorrow under various temptations;
Mune izvi munofara zvikuru kunyange zvino, kana zvichifanira, muchitambudzika kwechinguva chiduku nenzira dzose dzemiedzo.
7 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;
Izvi zvakauya kuitira kuti kutenda kwenyu, kunokosha kupfuura goridhe, rinoparara kunyange zvaro rakanatswa nomoto, kuwanikwe kwakakwana uye kuve kunorumbidzwa, kunobwinya uye kunokudzwa pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu.
8 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,
Kunyange musina kumuona, munomuda; kunyange zvazvo musingamuoni zvino, munotenda kwaari uye muzere nomufaro usingagoni kurondedzerwa,
9 receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
nokuti muri kugamuchira chinovavarirwa nokutenda kwenyu, irwo ruponeso rwemweya yenyu.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,
Nezvoruponeso urwu, vaprofita vakataura nezvenyasha dzaizouya kwamuri, vakanzvera zvikuru uye vakabvunza zvikuru,
11 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;
vachiedza kunzvera kuti vaone nguva nezvinhu zvairatidzwa noMweya wakanga uri mukati mavo pawakaprofita nezvokutambudzika kwaKristu, uye nezvokubwinya kwaizotevera.
12 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.
Zvakaratidzwa kwavari kuti vakanga vasingazvishumiri ivo, asi imi, pavakataura nezvezvinhu zvakataurwa kwamuri zvino naavo vakaparidza vhangeri kwamuri noMweya Mutsvene wakatumwa uchibva kudenga. Kunyange vatumwa vanoshuva kuona zvinhu izvozvi.
13 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:
Naizvozvo, pfungwa dzenyu ngadzigadzirire kushanda, muzvidzore; muise, zvizere, tariro yenyu panyasha dzamuchapiwa pakuonekwa kwaJesu Kristu.
14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;
Savana vanoteerera, musaenzaniswa nezvido zvakaipa zvamaiva nazvo pamairarama mukusaziva.
15 but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior:
Asi saiye akakudanai mutsvene, ivai vatsvene pane zvose zvamunoita;
16 because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.
nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Ivai vatsvene, nokuti ini ndiri mutsvene.”
17 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:
Sezvo muchidana kuna Baba vanotonga basa romunhu mumwe nomumwe vasingatsauri, mugare upenyu hwenyu pano savatorwa muchitya.
18 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,
Nokuti munoziva kuti hamuna kudzikinurwa nezvinhu zvinoora, zvakadai sesirivha kana goridhe, kubva paupenyu hwenyu husina maturo, hwamakagamuchira kubva kumadzitateguru enyu,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,
asi neropa rinokosha raKristu, iro gwayana risina charingapomerwa uye risina kuremara.
20 who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
Akasanangurwa kare nyika isati yavapo, asi akaratidzwa kwamuri mumazuva ano okupedzisira nokuda kwenyu.
21 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.
Kubudikidza naye munotenda kuna Mwari, akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa uye akamukudza, kuti kutenda kwenyu netariro yenyu zvive muna Mwari.
22 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,
Zvino zvamakanatsa mwoyo yenyu nokuteerera chokwadi kuitira kuti mude hama muzvokwadi, munofanira kudanana zvikuru, zvichibva pamwoyo.
23 having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
Nokuti makaberekwa patsva, kwete nembeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari benyu uye rinogara nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
24 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:
Nokuti, “Vanhu vose vakaita souswa, uye kuyevedza kwavo kwakaita samaruva ouswa; uswa hunosvava uye maruva anowira pasi,
