1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
Linu muvike kwi mbali vuvi vonse, vuchengereri, kuliha, muuna, nikusooha konse.
2 As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
Sina vambumbu va zwa haku zalwa, mushukerwe muziriri ujolola wa luhuho, njikuta kuti mukulire mwateni chakuhazwa kwenu.
3 If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
haiva uva liki kuti simwine ushiyeme.
4 Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
Mwize kwali mukuti iye ivwe lihala livakanwa vantu, kono livaketwa kwe Ireza kuti njilyona lya vutokwa kwali.
5 Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Nanwe vulyo mukoleri mu mavwe ahala akwete ku tendeswa kuku zaka inzubo ya luhuho, kuchitira kuti muve muva purisita vaha zitavelo za tambula Ireza cha Jesu Kiresite.
6 Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
Iñolo lina ichi: “Vone, ni tuula mwa Siyone ivwe lya mwi nkona, liketetwe mi lyavutokwa. Yense yo zumina kwali kete na swave.”
7 To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
Kukutekwa kwina kwenu mu zumina. “Kono ivwe livakanwa kuva zaki, liba sanduka mutwi we nkona
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
“iñomwe lyachi sitataliso ni nivwe lyachi sitataliso. Ba sitatala, chakusa mamera linzwi, kakuti ku vava lukisezwe.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Kono inwe muvantu vaketetwe, lusika lwa vu purisita, inkanda ijolola, vantu ve Reza vali munine, jo kucho kuti kamwi zivahaze mitendo mikando yakwe yava mi sumpi kumi zwisa mwififi niku mi leta mwi seri likomokisa.
10 Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.
Hasana muvali muvantu, kono hanu chiri muvantu ve Ireza. Kana muva tambwire chishemo, kono hanu muva tambuli chishemo.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
Vasakiwa, nimi sumpa ma zwahule, ni vantu vaka vu yambaela kuti mulizwise kwintakazo ze nyama, zi leta inkondo kulwisanisa luhuho lwenu.
12 Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Muswnela kuva ni mitendo mi lotu mukati ka Vantu vasezi Ireza, chokuti, hava wamba kahenu kuti muva chiti zintu zivi, Muvavone mitendo yenu milotu, mi lumbe ishenu luzuva lwete neze.
13 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
Mukuteke vuyendisi bwa vantu vonse chevaka lya Simwine. Mukuteke vu simwine vonse vwina he wulu.
14 Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
Mane ni va Vusisi, va vakatumwa kuti vahe milandu ku va fosa niku temba va chita zilotu.
15 For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Kakuti icho intato ye Ireza, kuti chaku chita vulotu, mutontoza ziambo za vantu va zihole.
16 As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
Cha vantu va lukuluhite, sanzi mutendisi intukuluho yenu ku fupika vuvi, kono muve sina va hikana va Ireza.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Kuteke vantu vonse. ve niilato kuvamwi, Tiye Ireza. Kuteke simwine.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Vahikana, mulivike kukuteka va nfumwenu che kute lyonse. Sanzi mukuteki vulyo va vashiyeme niva va lukite, kono navana va kukutu.
19 For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
Kakuti ichi china mupuzo muntu hali koza mwi nako inkukutu kunyandiswa no chita zishiyeme che vaka lyokwi iziva Ireza.
20 For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
Linu hamulikoza nimukwete ku kabwa che baka lyakufosa mumu tembwe vule? Kono haiva muva chita vulotu, mi unyanda noherwe inkoto, icho china mupuzo kwa Ireza.
21 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
Cheli ivaka muva sumpwa, Kakuti Kresite naye ava sukulwirwa inwe. Avasiyi mutala kuti mwi chirire mwinzila yakwe.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
Kana ava chiti vuvi, nanga chiwambo chi fosahere muka holo kakwe.
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
Nihavali kutukwa kana avali kuvoza matapa, nihanyadiswa kana avali kufumbira, kono chali tambika kwali yo atula chaku woloka.
24 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
Iye mwine ava hindi vuvi bwetu mumuviri wakwe nikuvutwala hachisamu. Kuchitira kuti sanzi tuvi ni chiyemba mu vuvi, kono tutange kuhalira kushiyama. Chakuhalolwa kwa muviri wakwe muvahozwa.
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
Muvonse muvali kuherahera sina imberere zi zovete. Kono hanu muvavoli kumu lisi we mberere ni muvavaleri wa luhuho lwenu.
