1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
Pita, mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito, kubenzu bamwaikilide kumanyika, ibasalidwe, koonse ku Pontasi, Galantiya, Kkapadosiya, Eziya, aku Bbitiniya.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Eechi chilimumabambe amumakanze a Leza Taata, mukwinda mumubeleko usalazigwa a Muuya, kuti mumutelele alubo mukwinda mukusansailwa bulowa bwa Jesu Kkilisito. Iluzyalo ngalube alindinywe, alubo lumuuno ngaluyungizizigwe kulindinywe.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Akube kuti Leza wisi wa-Mwami Jesu Kkilisito alumbayizigwe! Muluzyalo lwakwe lupati, wakatupa kuzyalwa kupya iswebo bulabulangizi bwabuponi kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito kuzwa kubafu.
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
Eechi nchalukkono lutakabule kumana pe, lutakabule akabbata, alubo talukonzyi pe kuyokulumpana abunini. Lulibambidwe kujulu kalulinda nduwe.
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Iwebo ulikwabilidwe munguzu zya-Leza kwinda mukusyoma kwalufutuko olo lwimvwilidi kuyoyubununwa mukugola kwechindi.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
Ulikondedwe atala acheechi, nekuba kwalino kulelede kuti mube akuusa kukusunkwa kwiingi.
7 so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Echi chilabawo kuti kukabonwe lusyomo lwanu, olu lwindide ngolida mbotu ikulumpala, nekuba yakawumpwa mumulilo. Echi chilachitika kuti lusyomo lwanu lukajanike kalulempindu ilentembawuzyo, abulemu, achilemeko ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
Tamuna kumubona pe, pesi mulamuyanda. Tamumuboni pe kwalino, pesi mulasyoma mulinguwe akukondwa alukondo lutambiiki luzwide bulemu.
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Kwalino muyolitambwida lwenu mpindu yalusyomo lwanu, lufutuko lwa muuya yenu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
Ataala alufutuko olu, basinsiimi abo bakasinsima atala aluzyalo olo lwakali kuyanda kuza alindinywe, bakayandula chabusungu kabayanda kuziba,
11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
Kabayandula kuziba kuti muntunzi nakuti chinoli chiindiinzi echo muuya wa Kkilisito nchiwakalikwamba mulimbabo awo mpakabambilide kuti katana kwabwa kuyoba machise a Kkilisito abulemu buyotobela.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
Chakayubununwa kulimbabo kuti tebakali kulibelekela lwabo beni pe, pesi anywebo, awo mpobakali kwamba atala azintu ezyo zyakambwa kulindinywe ababo bamukambawukila mulumbe wamakani mabotu kulindinywe kwinda ku-Muuya Uusalala wakatumwa kuzwa kujulu-kachili chintu baangelo nchibakali kulakamizya {kupeekezya}.
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Nkikaako amulyaange muzibuno zyanu zyakuyeeya kwenu. Amube babotu. Amubike bulangizi bwenu chakumaninina kuluzyalo olo luyoyetwa kulindinywe ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Mbuli bana bateelela, mutakabwedululi kukuyandisya kwenu nkumwakali kuponena chiindi nimwakachili mukutaziba.
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
Nkambo kakuti oyo iwakamwiita ulasalala, inywebo, kulelede, kuti musalale mubube bwanu boonse.
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Nkambo mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Amusalale, nkambo Ambebo ndasalala.”
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
Na kamumwita kuti “Taata” oyo ubeteka chakutalanga chiimo chamuntu alubo umwi mbuli milimo yakwe, amwende lwendo olu muchindi chanu chakumuyowa.
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
Mulizi kuti techakachitwa ansiliva ikulumpala na ingolida ezyo nzimwakali kununulwa ezyo kukwenda kwenu kwabuyo nkomwakiiya kuliba mawuso.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
Anukuti, nywebo mwakanunulwa abulowa bubotu bwa Kkilisito, oyo wakali m buli mwana wambelele utakwe kampenda nikaba kabbata.
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Kkilisito wakalizibinkenwe kakutana kuba kulengwa kwenyika, pesi kwalino wakazoyubununwa kulindinywe muzyiindi zyamamanino.
21 Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
Kwinda mulinguwe muzumine kuli Leza, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu akumupa bulemu, kuli lusyomo lwanu abulangizi bwenu bube kuli Leza.
22 Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
Mwakachita myuya kuti ibote mukwinda mukutelela kukasimpe. Echi chakaba obo kukumwetela luyando lwababunyina; amukayandane umwi awumwi kazizwa mumoyo. Amwi malembe mapati abensiku bachiGiliki abalika obu, Mwakasalazya myoyo yanu kukutelela kukasimpe kwinda kumuya.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
Mwakazyalwa bupya, kutali kuzwa kumbuto ikulumpala pe, pesi kuzwa kumbuto itakulumpali, kwinda mujwi lya-Leza litakasyale kalipona (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
Nkambo kakuti, “Nyama yoonse ilimbuli bwizu, abulemu bwayo bonse bulimbuli malubaluba abwizu bwamusokwe. Ibwizu ngabwayuma, awalo malubaluba nganyana awidaansi,
