< 1 Peter 2 >
1 Wherefore, laying aside all maliciousnes, and all guile, and dissimulation, and enuie, and all euill speaking,
Nipele, nnechanje ungalumbana wose, unami ni ulamba ni wiu ni kutukana ikapagwa sooni.
2 As newe borne babes desire that sincere milke of the woorde, that yee may growe thereby,
Moŵa gose nlajile liloŵe lya uswela lya Akunnungu nti mwanache yakuti pakulajila maŵele, kuti kwa lyelelyo isyene nkombole kukula ni kukulupuswa.
3 Because yee haue tasted that the Lord is bountifull.
Mpela igakuti kusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Nnyimanyi mwachinsyene kuti Ambuje ali ŵambone.”
4 To whome comming as vnto a liuing stone disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious,
Nipele, mwajaulile Ambuje! Ŵelewo ali nti liganga lyalijumi lyekanikwe ni ŵandu, nambo paujo pa Akunnungu lili liganga lyesagulikwe ni lya ndalama jajikulungwa.
5 Yee also as liuely stones, bee made a spirituall house, an holy Priesthoode to offer vp spirituall sacrifices acceptable to God by Iesus Christ.
Ŵanyamwe nombe nli nti maganga gamajumi nkagumbikwe ni kuŵa nyuumba ja chimbumu muchinkatumichile mpela ŵambopesi ŵaswela, nkatyosye mbopesi sya mmbumu syasikukundikwa ni Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito.
6 Wherefore also it is conteyned in the Scripture, Beholde, I put in Sion a chiefe corner stone, elect and precious: and hee that beleeueth therein, shall not be ashamed.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Sagwile liganga lya ndalama, linguliŵika nti liganga lya nsingi lya petumba ku Sayuni. Mundu juchankulupilile jwelejo ngaintenda soni.”
7 Vnto you therefore which beleeue, it is precious: but vnto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵankukulupilila, liganga lyo lili lya ndalama jajikulungwa, nambo kwa ŵele ŵangakukulupilila mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Liganga lyalikanile ŵakutaŵa kuti ngalikufai, sambano lilyolyo lili liganga lyalikusachilwa kwannope.”
8 And a stone to stumble at, and a rocke of offence, euen to them which stumble at the woorde, being disobedient, vnto the which thing they were euen ordeined.
Sooni Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Liganga lyo lili liganga lyalikwatenda ŵandu alikuŵale, lwala lukwagwisya ŵandu.” Ŵandu akulikuŵala kwa ligongo akanile kuukulupilila utenga wa Akunnungu. Yeleyo ni iyatyochele mpela Akunnungu iŵatite pakuganisisya.
9 But yee are a chosen generation, a royall Priesthoode, an holy nation, a people set at libertie, that yee shoulde shewe foorth the vertues of him that hath called you out of darkenesse into his marueilous light,
Nambo ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵansagulikwe, uŵelesi wa ŵambopesi ŵa mwenye, ni lukosyo lwaluswela ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ŵansagulikwe kugasala masengo gakwe gamakulu gaŵammilasile ntyoche mu chipi, ni kunjinjisya mu lilanguka lyakwe lyekulu.
10 Which in time past were not a people, yet are nowe the people of God: which in time past were not vnder mercie, but nowe haue obteined mercie.
Kalakala ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, nambo sambano ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵakwe, kalakala Akunnungu nganantendela chanasa, nambo sambano mpochele chanasa chao.
11 Dearely beloued, I beseeche you, as strangers and pilgrims, abstaine from fleshly lusts, which fight against the soule,
Achambusanga ŵangu ŵangunnonyela, ngunchondelela ŵanyamwe nti achalendo ni ŵandu ŵa ulendo pa chilambo pano! Nnekangane ni tama syangalumbana simpagwile nasyo syasikupisyangana ni mbumu.
12 And haue your conuersation honest among the Gentiles, that they which speake euill of you as of euill doers, may by your good woorkes which they shall see, glorifie God in the day of visitation.
Wende wenu pasikati ja ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ukusachilwa uŵe wambone, kuti pachachinnambuchisya po kuti nkupanganya ya sambi, chaiwone ipanganyo yenu yambone ni Akunnungu pachaiche chiŵakusye.
13 Therefore submit your selues vnto all maner ordinance of man for the Lordes sake, whether it be vnto the King, as vnto the superiour,
Nipele mwajitichisye ŵandu wose ŵaali ni ukulu kwa ligongo lya Ambuje. Munjitichisye mwenye jwali chilongola jwankulu,
14 Or vnto gouernours, as vnto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of euill doers, and for the praise of them that doe well.
ni mwajitichisye achakulu ŵaŵasagulikwe ni mwenye kwalamula ŵandu ŵa sambi ni kwalapa ŵakupanganya yambone.
15 For so is the will of God, that by well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men,
Pakuŵa Akunnungu akusaka ntende yambone kuti nkombole kusitaŵa kang'wa sya ŵandu ŵangali lunda ŵangakwimanyilila aila yakuipanganya.
16 As free, and not as hauing the libertie for a cloke of maliciousnesse, but as the seruauntes of God.
Mtameje nti ŵandu ŵanganataŵikwa, ni ungataŵikwa wenu wo ukaŵa litala lya kuisisa yangalumbana yenu, nambo mtameje nti ŵakutumichila ŵa Akunnungu.
17 Honour all men: loue brotherly fellowship: feare God: honour the King.
Mwachimbichisye ŵandu wose, mwanonyele ŵakukulupilila achinjenu, mwachimbichisye kwannope Akunnungu ni kumchimbichisya mwenye.
18 Seruaunts, be subiect to your masters with all feare, not onely to the good and courteous, but also to the froward.
Ŵanyamwe ŵakutumichila, mwapilikanichisye achakulu ŵenu kwakwachimbichisya, ngaŵa kwa ŵaali ŵambone ni chitungato pe, nambo ni ŵachikali.
19 For this is thanke worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully.
Pakuŵa iŵaga nkupililila ipwetesi ya masauko gangankuŵajilwa ligongo nkumanyilila kuti Akunnungu akusaka yele, nipele Akunnungu champanje upile.
20 For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faultes, yee take it paciently? but and if when ye doe well, ye suffer wrong and take it paciently, this is acceptable to God.
Pakuŵa, chimpate chichi mwapilililaga kuputwa kwankusachilwa mputwe ligongo lya ileŵo yenu? Nambo iŵaga nkupililila kusauswa atamuno ntesile yambone, Akunnungu champe upile kwa ligongo lyo.
21 For hereunto ye are called: for Christ also suffred for you, leauing you an ensample that ye should follow his steppes.
Yeleyo ni yammilanjikwe nayo, pakuŵa Kilisito nsyene ŵasawiche kwa ligongo lyenu, ni anlosisye ntende nti iŵatesile.
22 Who did no sinne, neither was there guile found in his mouth.
Ŵelewo nganatenda sambi, atamuno nganaŵecheta liloŵe lyalili lyose lya unami.
23 Who when hee was reuiled, reuiled not againe: when hee suffered, hee threatned not, but comitted it to him that iudgeth righteously.
Ŵelewo paŵatukanikwe nganaliuchisya kwa kutukana. Ni paŵasawiche nganiŵajogoya ŵandu kuti ŵajogope, nambo ŵachilesile chilolelo chakwe kwa Akunnungu, ŵakulamula mu usyene.
24 Who his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we being dead to sinne, should liue in righteousnesse: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Ŵelewo asyene ŵasijigele sambi syetu mu chiilu chao pa nsalaba, kuti uwe tuleche kutenda sambi, ni kutama kwa kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu. Ni kwakupotekwa kwao, ŵanyamwe nlamiswe.
25 For ye were as sheepe going astray: but are nowe returned vnto the shepheard and Bishop of your soules.
Pakuŵa mwaliji mpela ngondolo syesochelele, nambo sambano mmusile kwa jwakuchinga ni Jwakwimilila umi wenu.
