1 Peter 2
1 So give up all the evil things that you do: all your dishonesty, hypocrisy, and jealousy, all the ways you speak badly about others.
Bhai, nnekanje yowe yangali ya mmbone na ya unami na ya ugulumba na ya lupimililo na malobhe ga lambilila ganapagwe kabhili.
2 You should become like newborn babies who only want pure spiritual milk, so you can grow in salvation
Malinga ashinambombe shibhakugapinganga mabhele, nneila peila mmanganya nngapinganje mabhele ga mmbone ga ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu, kupinga nkulanje ukoto muntapulo gwa a Nnungu.
3 now you've tasted how good the Lord really is.
Malinga shigabheleketa Majandiko ga Mmbone. “Nninganje nnolanje kuti Bhakulungwa ni bhanguja.”
4 As you come to him—the living stone that people rejected as useless, but is chosen by God and precious to him—
Bhai, mwaajendelanje Bhakulungwa! Bhenebho ni liganga likwete gumi likanilwe na bhandunji, ikabheje kwa a Nnungu ni liganga lya galama kaje liagwilwe.
5 you also become like living stones, being built into a spiritual house. You are a holy priesthood that offers spiritual sacrifices that God welcomes through Jesus Christ.
Numbe mmanganya, malinga maganga gakwete gumi, nshishengwanga mmanganje nyumba jika Mbumu na mmanganje mmabhishilanga bha a Nnungu bhakwetenje ukonjelo na mmishilanje mbepei ipingwa na a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
6 As Scripture says, “See! I'm setting in Zion its main cornerstone, specially-chosen and valuable. Whoever trusts in him will not be disappointed.”
Pabha ishijandikwa Mmajandiko Gammbone. “Nnole, ngunaabhika liganga ku Shayuni, liganga likulu lya pa ndumba, liagwilwe lya galama. Na mundu ashaabhakulupalile akaigamba.”
7 He is very valuable to you who do trust. But for those who don't, “The stone the builders rejected that became the main cornerstone”
Kwenu mmanganya nkukulupalilanga, lyene ligangalyo ni lya galama, ikabheje kwa bhene bhangakulupalilanga bhala, “Liganga libhakanilenje bhaashenga, nnaino ni liganga likulu lya pa ndumba.”
8 is “The stone that trips you up and the rock that makes you fall.” People stumble over this message because they refuse to accept it—which for them is entirely predictable.
Na kabhili kuti. “Lyenelyo ni liganga lya kwiikubhala, liganga likulu lya gwiya bhandu.” Bhandunji bhanakwiikubhalanga kwa ligongo lyangakulupalila lilobhe lila na bhene bhanganyabho bhashibhikwanga bhagapatanje genego.
9 In complete contrast, you are a specially-chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God. Consequently you can reveal the wonderful things he's done, calling you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Ikabheje mmanganya lubheleko luagwilwe, ashinkulondola bha a mpalume, bhandunji bha ukonjelo, bhandu bha bhayene a Nnungu, nshiagulwanga nnunguyanje itendi yaikulungwa ya a Nnungu bhanshemilenje kukopoka ku lubhindu, nikunnjinjiyanga nshilangaya shabho sha lapa bhandu.
10 In the past you were nobodies, but now you are God's people. In the past you hadn't received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Bhukala mmanganya nkalinginjiji mmandunji, Ikabheje nnaino ni bhandunji bha a Nnungu. Bhukala nkabhonelwangaga shiya. Ikabheje nnaino nnabhonelwanga shiya na a Nnungu.
11 My friends, I'm pleading with you as foreigners and strangers in this world not to give in to physical desires that are in conflict with what is spiritual.
Ashaambwiga ajangu, mmanganya nninginji malinga bhapita mpanda na bhalinginji mmwanja pa shilambolyo pano, ngunakunneyanga nnekanje ilokoli yangali ya mmbone ya nshiilu ikapinjikwa na ntima.
12 Be sure to act appropriately when you're with non-Christians, so even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see the good things you do and glorify God when he comes.
Ntamangane ukoto na bhandunji bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu, nkupinga bhannambililangaga kuti nkutendanga yangali ya mmbone, bhaibhonangaga itendi yenunji ya mmbone, bhaakuyanje a Nnungu lyubha lya ukumu.
13 Obey human authority for the Lord's sake, whether it is the king as the highest authority,
Nkundanje yowe ilajilwa na bhandu, kwa ligongo lya Bhakulungwa, ibhaga a mpalume ni bhakwete ukulungwa,
14 or governors that God appoints to punish those who do evil and to commend those who do good.
ibhaga bhakulungwanji bha ilambo, ibhaga bhaagulwenje na bhenebho kupinga kwaapanyangulanga bhatendanga yangali ya mmbone na kwapanganga iukilo bhatendanga ya mmbone.
15 By doing what is good and right God wants you to silence the ignorant accusations of foolish people.
Pabha a Nnungu bhanapinga mpeyanje malobhe ga shibhelu ga bhandunji bhangalinginji lunda kwa itendi yenunji ya mmbone inkutendangayo.
16 Yes, you are free people! So don't use your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but live as God's servants.
Nnatamangane malinga bhangwana, ikabhe kwiitagwala kwenunji kunabhe kwa ishiya yangali ya mmbone, ikabhe ntamangane mbuti bhatumwa bha a Nnungu.
17 Respect everyone. Show your love to the community of believers. Have reverence for God. Respect the king.
Mwaishimiyanje bhandu bhowe, mwaapinganje bhakilishitu ajenunji, mwajogopanje a Nnungu na mwaishimiyanje a mpalume.
18 If you are a servant then submit to your master—not just those who are good and kind, but those who are harsh masters as well.
Mmanganya bhatumwa, nkundanje inkubhalanjilwanga na bhakulungwa bhenunji kwa lipamba lya kaje, nngabha bhalinginji bha kwiitimalikangape ikabhe nkali bha nngomo.
19 For this is what grace is: to endure life's pain and unfair suffering, keeping your focus on God.
Pabha gwenego ni uguja gwa kaje, mundu kwiipililila mboteko gwangali sha lebhile, kwa ligongo lya kwaishimiya a Nnungu shimpatanje mboka.
20 However, there's no credit when you're punished for doing something wrong. But if you suffer for doing what is good and right, and you put up with it, then God's grace is with you.
Pabha, shimpatanje upo yashi kwa kwiipililila kukomwa ga ilebho yenunji? Ikabheje mwiipilililangaga mboteko akuno nnitendanga ya mmbone, a Nnungu bhananonyelwa kwa genego.
21 In fact this is what you were called to do, because Christ suffered for you and gave you an example, so you should follow in his footsteps.
Genego ni gunshemelwenje, pabha a Kilishitu bhayene bhashinkupotekwa kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji, nikunneshelanga nnandanyo, nkaguyanje ibhatendile bhanebho
22 He never sinned, he never lied;
Bhanebho bhangalebha, wala lilobhe lya unami lyangapilikanika nkang'wa jabho.
23 and when he was badly treated, he didn't retaliate. When he suffered, he didn't threaten to take revenge. He simply placed himself in the hands of the one who always judges rightly.
Pubhatukanwaga bhangagalabhula, pubhapotekwaga bhanebho bhangakalipa, ikabhe bhashinkwaaleshela a Nnungu, bha ukumula kwa aki.
24 He took the consequences of our sins on himself in his body on the cross, so that we could die to sin and live rightly. “By his wounds you are healed.”
Bhenebho bhayene bhashinkwiijigala yambi yetu nshiilu shabho panani nshalabha, nkupinga kwa itendi ya yambi, tubhoneshe mbuti tuwile, na kwa itendi aki tukole gumi, bhai tulame kwa ligongo lya itendi ya aki. Na kwa komwa kwabho mmanganya nnamiywenje.
25 At one time you were like sheep who had lost their way, but now you've returned to the Shepherd—the one who watches over you.
Mmanganya pumwalinginji mbuti ngondolo iobhile, ikabheje nnaino mmujengene ku Bhashunga, Bhaulinda bha mitima jenunji.
