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
Neni Peteru, ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu, nankuwalembera mwenga wantu yawasyagulitwi na Mlungu Tati, wantu yampalanganyikiti na kulikala gambira watugira isi aku Pontu na Galatiya na Kapadokiya na Asiya na Bituniya.
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.
Mlungu Tati kawasyaguliti mwenga kulawirana na ntambu yakafira mweni, na mpungwa kwa Rohu, mpati kumjimira Yesu Kristu na kumishirwa kwa mwazi gwakuwi. Manemu na ponga gavuwa gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
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,
Tumkwisi Mlungu na Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu! Kwa lusungu lwakuwi likulu katupanana twenga ukomu wa syayi kwa kumzyukisiya Yesu Kristu. Katupanana litumbiru lyanakaka,
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
su twankulolera uhala wa matekeleru ga Mlungu, matekeleru yagawola ndiri na yagahera uhakata na galii yaganyala ndiri. Mlungu kawatulira kumpindi matekeleru aga.
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Na mwenga mlolerwa weri na makakala ga Mlungu kwa njira ya njimiru toziya ya ulopoziya yauwera kala kugubutulwa mumashaka ga upeleru.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
Munemeleri mushitwatira ashi, paiwera vinu kwa shipindi shididini hamfiruwi kuhinginiki toziya ya majeru ga ntambu yingiyingi yamtabika.
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.
Majeru aga lengu lyakuwi ndo kulanguziya nakaka njimiru yenu, yaiwera na mana nentu kuliku zahabu yeni tembera ata payiwora ijerisiwa kwa motu. Toziya ayi mwenga hampati uzyumi na ligoya na ukwisa, lishaka lilii Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
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,
Mwenga mwankumfira yomberi tembera mumwoniti ndiri, na mumjimira tembera mumwona ndiri vinu. Su munemelera kwa ukwisa yawutakulika ndiri,
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
toziya mwankuwanka ulopoziya wa rohu zyenu, wawuwera lengu lya njimiru yenu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
Wambuyi wa Mlungu yawatungiti kuusu manemu geni hagaweri ga nakaka kwa mwenga, wasakuliti na kukosiya kosiya kuusu ulopoziya awu,
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.
womberi wafiriti kushimana shipindi na ntambu yashiwera, shipindi pakatakuliti Rohu gwa Kristu yakaweriti mngati mwawu, pakatunga kuusu ntabika hayimpati Kristu na ukwisa yawuwiza.
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.
Mlungu kawagubuturiti wambuyi wakuwi kuwera ujumbi ulii yawaubweriti, walibweleriti ndiri weni kumbiti wawabweleriti mwenga Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakatumitwi kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, lihengu ali liwera ndiri na mota yawu weni kumbiti kwajili ya mwenga. Ata wantumintumi wa kumpindi mewafiri kuvimana vitwatira avi.
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.
Su muweri kala nakamu na kulikala masu. Mlituli litumbiru lyenu lyoseri mumanemu galii hampananwi shipindi Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Gambira wana wa Mlungu yawajimira, namujimira nakamu kufata kayi matamata zidoda zyamuweriti nazu pamuwumaniti ndiri unakaka wa Mlungu.
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
Kumbiti yomberi yakawashemiti ndo mnanagala, su mwenga muweri wananagala muvyoseri vyamutenda.
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Toziya Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Muweri wananagala toziya neni ndo mnanagala.”
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
Pamumkanda Mlungu, mwenga mumshema Tati. Su muvimani kuwera yomberi kamtoza kila yumu kulawirana na matendu gakuwi pota kubagula, mwendereyi kumjimira Mlungu pamulikala gambira wahenga pasipanu.
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,
Toziya muvimana kuwera mwenga mlopoziwitwi mumgenderanu gwenu yagufaa ndiri yagumuwankiti kulawa kwa wazewi wenu. Kumbiti mlopoziwiti ndiri kwa vintu vyaviharabika, kwa mpiya ama zahabu,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
kumbiti kwa mwazi gwa mana nentu gwa Kristu, yakaweriti gambira mwana kondolu yakahera shilema ama lidowa.
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Yomberi kasyagulitwi na Mlungu pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu, kumbiti kagubutulitwi mumashaka aga ga upeleru toziya ya mwenga.
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.
Kwa njira yakuwi mwenga mwankumjimira Mlungu yakamzyukisiyiti na kumpanana ukwisa, su njimiru yenu na litumbiru lyenu viwera kwa Mlungu.
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.
Vinu mwenga mulipunga maweni kwa kuujimira unakaka, su mwenga muwafira nakaka wayenu pota na ufyangu, su mulifiri nakamu kwa moyu gwoseri.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
Toziya mpananitwi ukomu wa syayi, ulii yawulawiti ndiri mumbeyu yayiharabika, kumbiti kulawa mumbeyu yayiharabika ndiri kwa njira ya ujumbi wa Mlungu yawuwera ukomu na wa mashaka goseri. (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,
Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Kila muntu kalifana na mahamba, na ukwisa wakuwi woseri ulifana na uluwa wa mahamba. Mahamba ganyala, na uluwa utuluka.
