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,
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Petere, mo rongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete. A kwalela: Bakeresete ba Bajuta ba ba lelekilweng mo Jerusalema mme ba falalela mo Pontose, Galalea, Kapadosia, Ausia, le Bethania.
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.
Ditsala tse di rategang, Modimo Rara o lo tlhophile bogologolo e bile o itsile gore lo tlaa nna bana ba one. Mme Mowa o o Boitshepo o ntse o dira mo dipelong tsa lona, o lo tlhatswa ka madi a ga Jesu Keresete go lo dira gore lo mo itumedise. A Modimo o lo segofatse thata mme o lo okeletse kgololesego mo tlalelong yotlhe le poifo.
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,
A tlotlo yotlhe e nne mo Modimong, Modimo Rara wa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete: gonne ke kutlwelo-botlhoko ya gagwe ya kgololesego e e re neileng tshwanelo e e faphegileng ya go tsalwa sesha; gore jaanong re bo re le maloko mo lwapeng lwa Modimo. Jaanong re tshela mo tsholofelong ya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka ntlha ya gore Keresete o tsogile gape mo baswing.
4 To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
Mme Modimo o beetse bana ba one mpho e e sa rekweng ya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng; lo e beetswe kwa legodimong, mpho e e itshekileng ebile e sa leswafala, e e sa fetogeng ebile e sa bole.
5 Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time.
Mme Modimo, mo nonofong ya one e kgolo, o tlaa tlhomamisa gore lo tsene koo lo babalesegile go e amogela, ka gonne lo a o ikanya. E tlaa nna ya lona mo letsatsing leo la bofelo gore lo e bone lotlhe.
6 Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
Jalo itumeleng ka boammaaruri! Go na le boitumelo jo bogolo kwa pele, le fa go tsamaya go sa itumedise ka lobakanyana fano.
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:
Diteko tse ke go leka tumelo ya lona fela, go bona gore a e nonofile ebile e itshekile kgotsa nnyaa. E lekwa jaaka molelo o leka gauta o bo o e tlhatswa, mme tumelo ya lona e botlhokwa thata mo Modimong go gaisa gauta; jalo fa tumelo ya lona e sala e nonofile e sena go lekwa ka molelo, e tlaa lo tlisetsa pako le kgalalelo le tlotlo mo letsatsing la go bowa go gagwe.
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,
Lo a mo rata ntswa lo ise lo ke lo mmone; le fa lo sa mmone, lo a mo ikanya; mme jaanong lo itumela ka boitumelo jo bo bonalang bo tswa legodimong ka bo lone.
9 Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
Mme tuelo ya lona ya go mo ikanya e tlaa nna poloko ya mewa ya lona.
10 Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you,
Poloko e, e ne e le sengwe se baporofiti ba neng ba sa se tlhaloganye ka botlalo. Le fa ba kwadile ka yone, ba ne ba nna le dipotso tse di ntsi gore e ka ne e ne e raya eng?
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.
Ba ne ba hakgamala gore Mowa wa ga Keresete o o mo teng ga bone o ne o bua kaga eng, gonne o ba reile wa re ba kwale ditiragalo, tse di setseng di diragaletse Keresete go tloga ka lobaka loo: ebong go boga ga gagwe, le kgalalelo ya gagwe e kgolo e e ileng ya diragala kwa morago. Mme ba hakgamala gore mo gotlhe go tlaa diragala leng ebile go diragalela mang.
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.
Ba ne ba bolelelwa kwa morago gore dilo tse ga di kitla di diragala mo lobakeng lwa botshelo jwa bone, mme e leng morago ga dingwaga tse di tlang, mo lobakeng lwa lona. Mme jaanong kwa bofelong Mafoko a a Molemo a, re a boleletswe sentle rotlhe. Re a reretswe ka nonofo ya Mowa o o Boitshepo o o buileng le bone; mme ga go a tlwaelesega ebile go a hakgamatsa gore le e leng bone baengele kwa legodimong ba tlaa dira thata go itse kaga gone.
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,
Jaanong lo ka lebelela ka tlhoafalo le tlhalefo ya tshiamo ya Modimo fa Keresete Jesu a bowa.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance:
Utlwang Modimo gonne lo bana ba One; se boeleng gape mo mekgweng ya lona ya bogologolo, lo dira bosula ka go bo lo ne lo sa itse tshiamo.
15 But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
Mme nnang boitshepo jaanong mo go sengwe le sengwe se lo se dirang, fela jaaka Morena yo o lo bileditseng go nna bana ba gagwe a le Boitshepo.
16 Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
Ene ka boene o rile, “Lo tshwanetse go nna Boitshepo, gonne ke Boitshepo.”
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,
Mme gakologelwang gore Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong yo lo mo rapelang ga a na ba o ba ratang thata go gaisa ba bangwe fa a atlhola. O tlaa lo atlhola ka katlholo e e siametseng sengwe le sengwe se lo se dirang; jalo dirang ka poifo e e masisi mo go ene go tloga gompieno go fitlhelela lo tsena kwa legodimong.
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,
Modimo o duetse thekololo go lo boloka mo tseleng e e thata go ya legodimong e borraeno ba lekileng go e tsaya, mme thekololo e o e duetseng e ne e se gauta kgotsa selefera, jaaka lo itse sentle.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
Mme o lo duetse ka madi a botlhokwa a botshelo a ga Keresete, yo o senang boleo, Kwana ya Modimo e e senang selabe.
20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
Modimo o mo tlhophile ka maikaelelo a bogologolo pele ga tshimologo ya lefatshe, mme o senotswe mo lobakanyaneng lo lo fetileng, mo malatsing ano a bofelo, e le tshegofatso mo go lona.
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,
Ka ntlha ya se, go ikanya ga lona go ka nna mo Modimong o o tsositseng Keresete mo baswing wa bo wa mo naya kgalalelo e kgolo. Jaanong tumelo ya lona le tshegofatso di ka nna mo go ene a le nosi.
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,
Jaanong lo ka nna le lorato mo go mongwe le mongwe ka ntlha ya gore mewa ya lona e tlhatswitswe bohula le kilo fa lo ikanya Keresete go lo boloka; jalo ratanang thata, ka dipelo tsa lona tsotlhe.
23 Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. (aiōn g165)
Gonne lo na le botshelo jo bosha. Ga lo a bo newa ke batsadi ba lona, gonne botshelo jo ba neng ba lo bo neile bo tlaa nyelela. Jo bosha jo bo tlaa nna ka bosakhutleng. (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.
Ee, botshelo jwa rona jwa tlholego bo tlaa nyelela jaaka bojang fa bo nna bosetlha bo omelela. Bogolo jwa rona jotlhe bo tshwana le sethunya se se kgolegang se bo se wela fa fatshe;
