1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
Petro, muapositori waJesu Kristu, kuvaeni vakasanangurwa vekupararira kwePonto, Garatia, Kapadhokiasi, Asia, neBhitiniasi,
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
maererano nekuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari Baba, mukuita vatsvene kweMweya, pakuteerera nekusasa kweropa raJesu Kristu: Nyasha nerugare ngazviwanzwe kwamuri.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Wakaropafadzwa Mwari naBaba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, iye zvichienderana nekuwanda kwetsitsi dzake wakatiberekazve patariro inorarama kubudikidza nekumuka kwaJesu Kristu kubva kuvakafa,
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
panhaka isingaori neisina kusvibiswa uye isingabvuruvari, yakachengeterwa imwi kumatenga,
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
imwi munochengetwa nesimba raMwari kubudikidza nerutendo kuruponeso rwakagadzirirwa kuzarurwa panguva yekupedzisira.
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
Yamunofara mairi zvikuru, kunyange ikozvino kwechinguvana, kana zvichifanira, muri pakushungurudzwa mumiedzo yakasiyana-siyana,
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
kuti kuedzwa kwerutendo rwenyu kunokosha zvikuru kupfuura kwegoridhe rinoparara, kunyange ichiidzwa nemoto, kuwanikwe mukurumbidzwa nerukudzo nekubwinya pakuonekwa kwaJesu Kristu;
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
iye musina kumuona munomuda; iye ikozvino musingamuoni asi munotenda kwaari, munofara nemufaro usingatauriki uye unorumbidzwa,
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
muchigamuchira mugumo werutendo rwenyu, ruponeso rwemweya yenyu.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
Nezveruponeso urwu vaporofita vakabvunzisisa nekunzvera, ivo vakaporofita zvenyasha dzinouya kwamuri;
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
vachinzvera kuti panguva ipi kana yakadini Mweya waKristu akange ari mavari yaakaratidza, paakagara apupura matambudziko maererano naKristu, nekubwinya shure kweizvi.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
Kwavari kwakaratidzwa kuti kwete kwavari ivo, asi kwatiri vaishandira zvinhu izvi, zvamunoparidzirwa ikozvino nevakakuparidzirai evhangeri neMweya Mutsvene wakatumwa kubva kudenga, zvinhu izvo vatumwa zvavanoshuva kunyatsoongorora.
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Naizvozvo masunga zviuno zvemurangariro wenyu, zvidzorei, mutaririre zvakakwana kunyasha dzinouyiswa kwamuri pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu;
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
sevana vanoteerera, musingazvifananidzi nekuchiva kwakare pakusaziva kwenyu.
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
Asi sezvo wakakudanai ari mutsvene, nemwiwo ivai vatsvene pamafambiro ese;
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Ivai vatsvene, nokuti ini ndiri mutsvene.
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
Zvino kana muchimuidza Baba, iye pasina rusarura anotonga zvinoenderana nebasa reumwe neumwe, garai panguva yeutorwa hwenyu mukutya;
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
muchiziva kuti hamuna kudzikunurwa nezvinoora, sirivheri kana goridhe, pamafambiro enyu asina maturo amakagamuchira kumadzibaba enyu;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
asi neropa rinokosha raKristu seregwayana risina charinopomerwa uye risina gwapa.
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
Iye zvirokwazvo wakagara azikanwa nyika isati yavambwa, asi wakaratidzwa panguva dzekupedzisira nekuda kwenyu,
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
iye wamunotenda naye kuna Mwari, wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, akamupa kubwinya; kuti rutendo rwenyu netariro zvive kuna Mwari.
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
Manatsa mweya yenyu pakuteerera chokwadi kubudikidza neMweya mukuda hama nekusanyengera, dananai zvikuru nemoyo wakachena;
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
maberekwa kutsva kwete zvichibva pambeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari rinorarama nekugara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
Nokuti nyama yese yakaita seuswa, nekubwinya kwese kwemunhu seruva reuswa. Uswa hwunosvava, neruva rahwo rinodonha;
