1 Peter 1
1 PETER an Apostle of IESVS CHRIST, to the strangers that dwell here and there throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
Ngai Petelo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto; Epai ya baponami ya Nzambe oyo bazali kati na bamboka ya bapaya mpe bapalangani na bituka ya Ponti, ya Galatia, ya Kapadose, ya Azia mpe ya Bitini.
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God ye Father vnto sanctification of ye Spirit, through obedience and sprinkeling of the blood of Iesus Christ: Grace and peace bee multiplied vnto you.
Kolanda mabongisi na Ye, Nzambe Tata apona bino wuta kala, abulisa bino na nzela ya Molimo na Ye mpo ete botosa Yesu-Klisto mpe bokoma peto na nzela ya makila na Ye, oyo asopaki. Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino na bofuluki!
3 Blessed bee God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which according to his aboundant mercie hath begotten vs againe vnto a liuely hope by the resurrection of Iesus Christ from the dead,
Tika ete Nzambe, Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, apambolama! Pamba te, kati na mawa monene na Ye, asalaki ete tobotama mbotama ya sika, na nzela ya lisekwa ya Yesu-Klisto kati na bakufi, mpo na kopesa biso elikya ya solo
4 To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
ete tokozwa libula oyo abombela biso kati na Likolo, libula oyo ebebaka te, ezwaka bosoto te, mpe ebungisaka kitoko na yango te. Ezali mpe kaka libula yango nde Nzambe abombela bino
5 Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time.
ba-oyo Nzambe abatelaka na nguya na Ye, na nzela ya kondima, mpo na lobiko oyo ekomonisama na tango ya suka.
6 Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
Bosepelaka na lobiko yango, atako bosengeli sik’oyo kotungisama mpo na mwa tango moke na nzela ya komekama ya lolenge nyonso.
7 That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus Christ:
Komekama yango eyei mpo na kotalisa bosolo ya kondima na bino mpe kosala ete bokoka kozwa masanzoli, nkembo mpe lokumu tango Yesu-Klisto akomonana. Boni, moto epetolaka wolo te? Nzokande kondima na bino ezali na motuya koleka wolo oyo ebebaka.
8 Whome yee haue not seene, and yet loue him, in whome nowe, though yee see him not, yet doe you beleeue, and reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious,
Bolingaka Yesu-Klisto atako bomona Ye te. Atako bozali mpe kaka komona Ye te sik’oyo, bozali kondimela Ye mpe botondi na esengo ya nkembo oyo moto akoki kolimbola te,
9 Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
pamba te bozali kozwa lifuti ya kondima na bino: lobiko ya bomoi na bino.
10 Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you,
Mpo na lobiko yango, basakoli oyo baloba na tina na ngolu oyo Nzambe abongisa mpo na bino balukaki penza, na molende, koyeba mabombami na yango.
11 Searching when or what time the Spirite which testified before of Christ which was in them, shoulde declare the sufferings that should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that shoulde follow.
Basalaki nyonso mpo na koluka koyeba tango nini mpe ndenge nini makambo oyo Molimo ya Klisto alobaki ekosalema. Molimo ya Klisto azalaki kati na bango, wana azalaki komiyebisela bango ete Klisto asengelaki komona pasi liboso ete azwa nkembo oyo ezalaki kozela Ye.
12 Vnto whome it was reueiled, that not vnto themselues, but vnto vs they shoulde minister the things, which are nowe shewed vnto you by them which haue preached vnto you the Gospell by the holy Ghost sent downe from heauen, the which things the Angels desire to beholde.
Nzambe atalisaki bango ete sango oyo bango bazwaki mokumba ya kotatola ezalaki mpo na bango te, kasi ezalaki nde mpo na bino. Mpe sik’oyo, bozali koyoka sango yango na minoko ya bato oyo bateyaki bino Sango Malamu na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu oyo Nzambe atindaki wuta na Likolo; mpe bango moko ba-anjelu bazalaka na posa ya koyeba yango.
13 Wherefore, girde vp the Ioynes of your minde: bee sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that is brought vnto you, in the reuelation of Iesus Christ,
Yango wana, boselingwa mpo na kosalela Nzambe lokola basali oyo balati bilamba ya mosala mpo na kosala; bomibatela malamu mpe botia elikya na bino mobimba kati na ngolu oyo bokozwa tango Yesu-Klisto akomonana.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance:
Lokola bana ya botosi, botambola lisusu te kolanda baposa mabe oyo bozalaki na yango tango bozangaki boyebi.
15 But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
Kasi lokola Ye oyo abengaki bino azali Bule, bino mpe bozala bule kati na etamboli na bino nyonso,
16 Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
pamba te ekomama: « Bozala bule, pamba te nazali Bule. »
17 And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare,
Lokola mpe bobelelaka Tata oyo aponaka bilongi te tango asambisaka bato nyonso kolanda misala na bango, botambola kati na kobanga Nzambe, wana bozali awa na mokili lokola bapaya.
18 Knowing that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the fathers,
Boyebi malamu ete ezali te na nzela ya biloko oyo ebebaka lokola wolo to palata nde Nzambe akangolaki bino na bizaleli ezanga tina, oyo bozwaki epai ya bakoko na bino,
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
kasi ezali nde na nzela ya makila ya talo ya Klisto lokola mpate oyo ezangi mbeba mpe litono.
20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
Nzambe abongisaki Ye mpo na yango wuta kala, liboso ete akela mokili, mpe Klisto amonani na mikolo oyo ya suka likolo na bino.
21 Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God,
Ezali na nzela na Ye nde bino bondimelaka Nzambe oyo asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi mpe apesaki Ye nkembo, mpo ete kondima mpe elikya na bino ezala kati na Nzambe.
22 Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently,
Lokola bosili komipetola na nzela ya kotosa bosolo mpo na kolingana na bolingo ya solo, bolinganaka makasi bino na bino, na motema ya peto.
23 Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. (aiōn g165)
Pamba te bobotamaki mbotama ya sika na nzela ya Liloba na Nzambe, oyo ezali nkona oyo epesaka bomoi mpe ewumelaka seko na seko; kasi na nzela te ya nkona ya bato oyo bakufaka. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth away.
Pamba te ekomama: « Bato nyonso bazalaka lokola matiti, mpe nkembo na bango nyonso ezalaka lokola bafololo ya bilanga. Matiti ekawukaka mpe fololo na yango ekweyaka,
