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.
U Peteli unkongi va Yeu Klisite na vagenji uvuvavalinila ne vahaliwa mu Ponto yoni, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, no Bithinia,
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!

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.
U Nguluve udada nu nkhuludeva veto uYesu Klisite avasaye. Mbuvaha vwa kisa kya mwene, atupile ukhuholiwa ulwa mmumbya mmuko ga vuhale, ukhugendela kuvunchuka vwa Yesu uKlisite ukhuhuma khulyufwe,
4 This inheritance is eternal, it never spoils or fades, and it is kept safe in heaven for you.

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.
Kummaka ga Nguluve mloleliwa ukugendela ndwidiko lwa vupoki vuvwa puvule uvudinduliwe imisikhi gya kuvu malilo.
6 So be glad about this, even though you may be sad for a short while as you endure various trials.
Mmuhovoge pa ili ndayive lino mwikhi pulika lususuvalo, mungelo inchilipapingi.
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.
Ulwakuva ulwidiko lwinyo lugeliwe, ulwidiko ulwa mana, saluhwanine ni sahabu iyuyiyaga mwu mwoto, umwu lwigele ulwidiko ulwenyo. Iyi yihumile pa lwidiko lwinyo luhole uluginio, iyu yiholile uvu valanche nu ludwado mmbovonekele vwa Yesu uKlisite.
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.
Samumbwene umwene ulwakhuva mkumwidika umwene nuluhekelo ulutava luncho veka uluhekelo uludenchiwe vuvalanche.
9 Your reward for trusting in him is that you will be saved!
Lino mmukwopililo yumwe uvuno wa lwidiko lwinyo nu vupoki vwa numbulo nchenyo.
10 It was this salvation that the prophets searched for and investigated when they spoke of the grace that was prepared for you.
Anyamalago valiko londa nu kwivuncha nu luhala vunonu vwa vupoki uvu, uwa luhungu lukale lwiva lwinyo.
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.
Valikonda ukhulumanya uvupoki uvulindikhekhi uvuyakave vukwi ncha kange valikolonda kulumanya unsikhi guliku ugwu mepo va Klisite uvi ali gati mumbwene alikhunchuka khekhi na vene. Iyi yilikuhumile unsukhi upwu ali kutala ukuvavula inogwa ya luvavo lwa Klisite nu vuvalanche uvwu vukhuvakongaga.
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!
Lulikhunekela mwu vanyamalago ukhuta valaku nchivombela imbombo inchi soyi vile ya vene vavo. Lino ulwakhuva yenyo amambo aga ukugendela kuvala avigiga ilivangeli kulwumwe kwu njila ya mepo umbalanche uvya suhiwe kuhumo kukyanya, aga navavasuhwa vinogwa uluvonekela kwu lwene.
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.
Pwu lino mkhunge ifivina ifya luhala lwinyo mve mwiyumilinchage mumasage genyo. Muve na maka agalutilile munduyo ulukwincho kulyumwe unsiki gwa kudinduliwe khwa Yesu Klisite.
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.
Nda vene avagolofu mlekhe ukhukungiwa muvene nu vunogwe uvulikukonga upwu mwale vuvule amesage.
15 Now you need to be holy in everything you do, just as the one who called you is holy.
Nu mwe uvya vilangile vu mbalanche nayumwe muve nchage vavalanche mu ndogendo lwoni ulwa figono fyoni.
16 As Scripture says, “You are to be holy, for I am holy.”
Ulwa khuva lisimbiwe, “muvenchage vavalanche ulwakuva une nilimbalanche.”
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.
Ingave mwikhilanga u “'Dada” ula uvi ihiga uvwa yihweli ukhukongana ni mbombo incha munu nu munu guvumbele unsikhi gwa ndugendo lwakho ndi lisima.
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.
Mlumanyile ukhuta sayale hela apange isahabu, ifinu ifinangike ifyo mupokhiwe ukuhuma khu nyiho nchenyo incha vupe liva incho mwa minyile ukhuhuma kuva dada vinyo.
19 You were set free by the costly blood of Christ, who was like a lamb with no flaw or defect.
Ulwakuva mupokiwe mnkisa gwa vudwanchiwa ugwa Klisite, nduvu yivile ing'osi iyi luvuvule ingofyo ni elideha.
20 He was chosen before the world was created, but he was revealed in these last days for your benefit.
UKlisite ahalilwe khatale vulu sikhuli ulwuto ifi fya kuvumalilo, ivonesyage kuliumwe.
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.
Mkhumwidikha uNguluve ukugendela mwumwene, uvi uyu uNguluve anchusinche khuhuma khuvufwe akhapa uvuvalanche ulwidiko lwinyo na maka gavinchage mwa Nguluve.
22 Now that you've dedicated yourselves by following the truth, love each other sincerely like a true family.
Mmekile inumbula nchenyo ukhuva nonu nu ludwado vwa yila ilweli, kulugano lwa kikolo ulugolwikhe, pwu lino mgananage na maka ukhuma munumbula.
23 You've been born again, not the product of a mortal “seed,” but immortal, through the living, eternal word of God. (aiōn g165)
Lino mholiwe ulwavili saku mbeyu iyuyinangikha, yihuma khu mbeyu iyu sayinangika, ukhugendela mbwumi ni limenyu lya Nguluve ilisigile. (aiōn g165)
24 For: “All people are like grass, and all their glory like wildflowers. The grass withers and the flowers fall.
Ulwa khuva imivili gyoni gilinda mani, nuvuvalanche vywa mwene woni vulindi lyani. Ilyani likwuma ni livuva ligwa,
