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
Petorosi, mwapositola wa Jesu Kirisite, kuva yedi ve nako, vava kwetwa, mukati kose ka Potiasi, Magalatia, Cappadocia, Asia, ni Bathiania.
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.
Cho kutenda kezivo yokuvusu ye Ireenza Ishetu. Ivali cho kuchenisa ni Luhuwo lo kuzumina ni kwi tilela malaha a Jesu Krisite. Linu chisemo chive ni we, ni kozo yako iyekeze.
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,
Ke Ireenza ni Esi wa Jesu Krisite a fulyolwe. Muvukando bwe chishemo chakwe, cha tuha ku zwala cihya ke sepo yo kuyola. Ichi chiyolo chi keza kezila yo kuvuka kwa Jesu Krisite kuva fwile.
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
Kono ichi ciyolo chisa maani, kese chive ni vuvi, kete ni chi mane. chivi kilwe inwe kwiwulu.
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Mu silelezitwe cha maata a Ireenza che tumero, cho kuhazwa kulivelelwe kuvoneka kumani mani enako.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
Mi usangite kuamana nezi, ni kuvavulyo kuswanela kuti nova lizuwi vuvi mu bukabo vushutana shutana.
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.
Uko kulika itumelo yenu, mi kwina vutokwa ahulu kuhita gaunda isinyeha, ni hailikwa mumulilo. Izi zitendehala kuti itumelo iwanike mwi tumbo, ikanya, ni kute kuku bonahaza Jesus Christe.
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,
Kena muvamuvoni, kono mumusaka. Kamumu voni hanu, kono muzumina kwali ni mutavite ni tavo isawambiwa, inkanya ye tavo.
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Kono hanu mutambula kwenu bulyo mupuzo we tumelo yenu, kuhazwa kwo luhuwo lwenu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
Vafolofita vava sakisisi ni kwiza ahulu kuamana zo kuhazwa, kuamaana ni chisemo chese chibe cenu.
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.
Chiva sakisisa kwi ziva uzo ni lili ni Luhuwo lwa Krisite haluvali kuwamba kuvali. Inzi ziva pangahali ziva wambirwa havusu kuamaana ni kunyadiswa kwa Christe zitu ze kanya kuzwa aho.
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.
Zive zinveki kuva vopolofita kuti hati vavali kulitusa avo vene, kono enwe. Ichi chi vavali kutenda kuamaana ni zitu zi muva wambilwi kamukwa wo Luhuwo Lujolola, uvatumwa kuzwa kwi wulu. Izi zitu nanga magiloyi alakazwa kuvoniswa.
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.
Cwale mutende muzezo yenu hande. Musiye kukolwa. Muvike isepo yose muchisemo chileta kwi ziveka kwa Jesu Krisite.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Ha tuli tuvana ve chilila, musiye ku swana itakazo nezina zimuvali kwichilile ni musezi niti.
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
Kono iye avamisupi u jolola, inwe, nanwe, mujolole mumaikuto enu wonse.
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Kakuli kuñoletwe, “Mu jolole, kakuli ime ni jolola.”
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
Mi hamusupa “Ishetu” iye yenke uyatula zwimwi ni ku sena isovozi kuamana ni mutendo wo mutu, muhinde inako mumusipili ni sabo.
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,
Mwizi kuti hati kavali ke silivera ni gauda efwa iva muhanzi kuvu holo ye mimitedo imuva lituti kuve ishenu.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
Hakuli vulyo, u va hazwa ni malaha avutokwa a Krisite, avali kuswana ni imbelele isena chivata.
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Krisite ava saliwa pili ni misumo ye kanda, kono hanu chali zivahalisa kwenu mwinako ya manimani.
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.
Chakwe muzumina kwe Ireenza, ava muvusi kuvafu mi kuvamwi chavaha ikanya kuti itumero yavo ni sepo ive kwe Ireenza.
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.
Muvatendi luhuwo lwenu kujolola choku zumina kwi niti. Ichi chivalikutenda mulelo wo vulikani mwi rato, cwale mulisake ahulu mwi kulo.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
Linu mu vanzalwa chihya, isini ketanga ivola, kono che tanga isavoli, muvuhalo ni lizwi lye Ireenza likalilila. (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,
Ke “nyama yonse iswana sina lyani, ni ikanya yateni yonse iswana nipalisa ya lyani. Lyani lizuma, ni palisa ziwila hasi,
