1 Peter 1
1 This letter comes from Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, and is sent to God's chosen people: exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
Petro, intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, ku bhagenyi bhanu abha mu bhunyalambuke, ku bhasolwa, mu Ponto yona, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, na mu Bhisinia,
2 You were chosen by God the Father in his wisdom, made holy by the Spirit, so that you might obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood. May you have grace and peace more and more!
okulubhana no bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga, Lata, kwo kwesibhwa na Mwoyo Mwelu, kwo bhwolobhe bhwa Yesu Kristo, na kulwo kwitililwa insagama yaye. Echigongo chibhe kwimwe, no mulembe gwemwe gwiyongeshe.
3 Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Through his great mercy we have been born again and given a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Nyamuanga Lata wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo mbe esishwe libhando. Mu bhukulu bhwe chigongo chaye, achiyanile okwibhulwa kuyaya kwo bhubhasi bhwo kulyo mwandu okulabha mu bhusuluko bha Yesu Kristo okusoka mu bhafuye,
4 This inheritance is eternal, it never spoils or fades, and it is kept safe in heaven for you.
kulwo kulya omwandu kunu kutali kwa kusimagila. kutakubhawo na bhujabhi nolwo kukeyelelwe. Kubhikilwe mu lwile ingulu yemwe.
5 Through your trust in him, God will protect you by his power until salvation arrives—the salvation that is ready to be revealed at the last day.
Kwo bhutulo bhwa Nyamuanga okulibhata okulubhana ne likilisha lyo Mwelulo gunu guliwo bhwangu okusululwa mu mwanya gwo bhutelo.
6 So be glad about this, even though you may be sad for a short while as you endure various trials.
Nimukondelwe mu linu, nolwo kutyo woli ni bhusi-bhusi kwemwe okwiyungwa obhusulumbaye mu malegejo ga bhuli nyami ku gandi na gandi.
7 These prove that your trust in God is genuine, just as fire is used to prove if gold is genuine—even though that too can be destroyed—and your faith is more valuable than gold! In this way your trust in God will be recognized and you will receive praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ appears.
Jinu ni kwa insonga ati elikilisha lyemwe lisakwe, elikilisha linu lili lyo bhugusi bhulambu kukila ijaabhu, inu eibhula mu mumulilo gunu koleleki lisakwe elikilisha lyemwe. Jinu ejibhonekana koleleki elikilisha lyemwe libhone okwibhula obhumenyi, likusho, echibhalo mu kuswelulwa kwa Yesu Kristo.
8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you cannot see him now, you trust in him and you're filled with wonderful, indescribable happiness.
Muchaliga kumulola omwene, mbe nawe omumwenda. Mutakumulola woli, nawe omwikilisha mu mwene na muli no kukondelwa kunu kutakutula kwaikwa kwo bhukonde bhunu bhwijuywe likusho.
9 Your reward for trusting in him is that you will be saved!
Woli emwe abhene omulamila ganu mwakolele mu likilisha lyemwe, omwelulo gwe mitima jemwe.
10 It was this salvation that the prophets searched for and investigated when they spoke of the grace that was prepared for you.
Abhalagi bhaigile no kubhusilisha kwo kwitegelesha okulubhana no Mwelulo gunu, okulubhana ne chiongo chinu chakabhee chemwe.
11 They tried to find out when and how this would take place, for the Spirit of Christ inside them spoke clearly about Christ's sufferings and glory to come.
Bhaigile nibhenda okumenya omwelulo ogwo kutyo guli nigwa nyami-ki ugwa gukachijako. Bhaigile one okwenda okumenya ati ni mwanya-ki gunu Mwoyo wa Kristo unu ali munda yebhwe aliga naika-ki nabho. Jinu jaliga nijibhonekana mu mwanya gunu elabhaga obhabhwila okulubhana na jinyako ja Kristo na likusho linu lyakamulubhile.
12 It was explained to them that they were not doing this for themselves, but for you—since what they spoke about you've now learned from those who shared the good news with you by the Holy Spirit that heaven sent. Even the angels are eager to find out about all this!
Ejo jasuluywe ku bhalagi ati bhaliga nibhabhakolela emisango jinu, nawe atali ingulu yebhwe abhene, nawe ingulu yemwe-inyaika ye misango jinu okulabha ku bhalya bhanu abhachiletela omusango gwo bhwana kwemwe ku njila ya Mwoyo Mwelu unu atumilwe okusoka mu lwile, emisango jinu nolwo bhamalaika one abhaligila kwo kuswelulilwa kwaye.
13 Make sure your minds are in gear. Be clear-headed. Fix your hope exclusively on the grace you'll be given when Jesus is revealed.
Kulwejo mwibhoyega ebhibhunu bhyo bhwenge bhwemwe. Nimubhega bhanu bhanu bhatuliye mu menganilisho gemwe. Nimubhega no bhubhasi bhwo kwiikanyimbwa mu chigongo chinu echiletwa kwemwe mu mwanya gwo kuswelulilwa kwa Yesu Kristo.
14 Live like children that do what they're told. Don't allow yourselves to be shaped by your former sinful desires when you didn't know any better.
Lwa bhana bhatoto abholobhe, mwasiga kubhoywa abhene kwa jinamba jinu mwalubhile mu mwanya gunu mwaliga mutangasha bhumenyi.
15 Now you need to be holy in everything you do, just as the one who called you is holy.
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo unu abhabhilikiye aliga Mwelu, emwe one, mubhega bhelu mu ntungwa jemwe jona mu bhulame.
16 As Scripture says, “You are to be holy, for I am holy.”
Kulwo kubha jandikilwe ati, “Nimubhega bhelu, ku nsonga anye nili Mwelu.”
17 Since you call him Father, and recognize he judges everyone impartially based on what they do, take your time here on earth seriously, respecting him.
Alabha mukabhilikila “Lata” Unu kalamula kwe chimali okulubhana ne milimu ja bhuli munu, kumisha omwanya gwo lugendo lwawo mu kwikeya.
18 You already know that you were not set free from your pointless way of living that you inherited from your forefathers by things that don't have lasting value, like silver or gold.
Mumenyele ati jaliga jitali ja feja amwi jaabhu- ebhinu bhinu ebhinyamuka-ebhinu bhinu emwe mweluywe okusoka mu ntungwa jemwe ejo bhumumu bhunu mweigiye okusoka ku bhalata bhemwe.
19 You were set free by the costly blood of Christ, who was like a lamb with no flaw or defect.
Mbe nawe mweluywe mu nsagama ye chibhalo eya Kristo, lwa inyabhalega inu italiko esolo nolwo kakojole.
20 He was chosen before the world was created, but he was revealed in these last days for your benefit.
Kristo asolelwe jinfuka je chalo jichali kutebhwawo, mbe nawe woli ku nsiku jinu eja kubhutelo, asuluywe kwemwe.
21 Through him you trust in God who raised him from the dead, and glorified him, so that you could have confidence and hope in God.
Mu mwikilisishe Nyamuanga okulabha ku mwene, unu Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mu bhafuye na unu amuyaye likusho koleleki ati elikilisha lyemwe no bhubhasi bhubhe ku Nyamuanga.
22 Now that you've dedicated yourselves by following the truth, love each other sincerely like a true family.
Mujikolele emitima jemwe kubha ja kisi kwo bholobhe bhwe chimali chilya, kulwa insonga ye lyenda lya bhasu linu lili no bhwikeya, kwibhyo mwendanega kwo kwikomesha kunu okusoka mu Mioyo.
23 You've been born again, not the product of a mortal “seed,” but immortal, through the living, eternal word of God. (aiōn g165)
Emwe mwamalile okwibhulwa lwa kabhili, atali ku njuma unu ejinyamuka, mbe nawe okusoka ku njuma jinu jitakunyamuka, okulabha ku bhuanga no musango gwa Nyamuanga gunu gwasagile. (aiōn g165)
24 For: “All people are like grass, and all their glory like wildflowers. The grass withers and the flowers fall.
Kulwo kubha “emibhili jona ni kuti mabhibhi, na likusho lyaye lyona ni kuti bhwaso bhwe ebhabhi. Libhabhi eliotoka no bhwaso obhusilisha,
