1 Peter 1
1 PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners, dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Njame Petulo, musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu. Ndalembenga iyi kalata kuli njamwe mwasalwa ne Lesa mulekalangeti bensu mubimpansha byaku Ponto, ne ku Galatiya, neku Kapadokiya, neku Asiya kayi neku Bituniya.
2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be brought to the obedience, and sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ: grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
Kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Bata kwesula kufuminowa kumatatikilo mwalasalwa kayi mwalaswepeshewa ne Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti mube beshikunyumfwila Yesu Klistu, mwalasukwa ne milopa yakendi. Lesa amunyumfwile nkumbo ne kumupa lumuno lwesula.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto an animating hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Tulumbe Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Pakwinga mukufula kwa nkumbo shakendi, walatupa buyumi bwa linolino pakumupundusha Yesu Klistu kubafu. Neco tukute lushomo lwayuma nta,
4 for an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,
lwakwambeti nitukatambule colwe cabintu byaina Lesa mbyabambila bantu bakendi kwilu, uko nkweshi bikabule kubola, nambi kwipishiwa, nambi kushimangana.
5 who are guarded by the omnipotence of God, through faith to obtain the salvation which is ready to appear at the last time.
Ibi bintu nibyenu, kupitila mulushomo, byabambwa cena mungofu sha Lesa kwambeti mukatambule lupulusho ulo lulipepi kuboneka pacindi camapwililisho.
6 Wherein ye exult, though yet for a little space, (if it must be so, ) ye are in sorrow through various trials:
Ibi kabimukondweleshani nambi pacino cindi mucane mapensho ne kwelekeshewa kwapusanapusana.
7 that the test of your faith (much more precious than that of gold, which is of a perishing nature, though proved by fire) may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
Ibi ni bishikubonesheti lushomo lwenu ni lwancinencine. Nambi golide ukute konongeka ukute kwengeka nemulilo, nalo lushomo lwenu ulo lwapita golide, lwela kwelekeshewa kwambeti lucanike kuba lwancinencine. Mwenseco nimukatambule kulumbwa, ne bulemu pabusuba mbweshakayubuluke Yesu Klistu.
8 whom though ye have not seen, ye love; on whom, though ye have not as yet gazed, yet believing, ye exult with joy unutterable and glorious:
Nambi ntamuna mumubonapo, nsombi mumusuni. Nambi pacindi cino nkamulamubononga mwamushoma, kayi mwakondwa citambiki.
9 receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Pakwinseco mulatambulunga cilambo ca lushomo, uku ekwambeti lupulusho lwenu.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets eagerly sought and diligently inquired, who prophesied of the grace which is come to you:
Bashinshimi balambapo sha cilambo calupulusho ndweshimukatambule, balo balalangaula mwabuya lupulusho ulu, Lesa ndwetamupe.
11 investigating to what time and to what conjuncture the Spirit of Christ in them pointed, when predicting the sufferings coming upon Christ, and the glories subsequent thereto.
Mushimu wa Klistu walikuba mulyendibo walikwambila limo sha byeshikubaba Klistu mbyeshakanyumfwe, kayi ne bulemu mbweshakabe nabo panyuma pakendi. Bashinshimi balikuyanda kwishiba cindi kayi ne moti bikenshikilenga.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us were their ministrations employed in the things which are now declared unto you by those who have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; on which things the angels bending forwards eagerly desire to gaze.
Lesa walabayubulwila kwambeti ncito njobalikwinsa nkayalikuba yakuyanda bene, nsombi balikwinshilamwe, mpobalikwamba bintu ibyo mbyemulanyumfunga kuli batumwa bakendi balakambaukunga Mulumbe Waina kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa walafuma kwilu. Ibi ebintu nabo bangelo mbyebalikuyanda kwishiba.
13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, vigilant, wait with assured hope for the grace, which shall be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Eco cakendi myoyo yenu ibe yalibambila. Kamubani babangamana. Bikani lushomo lwenu lonse pa colwe nceshi mukapewe Yesu Klistu akayubuluka.
14 as obedient children, not conformed to the former passions of the days of your ignorance:
Nyumfwilani Lesa, kamutaleka buyumi bwenu kubumbwa nelunkumbwa ndomwalikukute kamutana mwishiba Klistu.
15 but as he who hath called you is holy, be ye holy also in all your conduct:
Mbuli Lesa ncali waswepa uyo walamukuwa, nenjamwe kamubani baswepa mumikalilo yenu yonse.
16 because it is written, “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
Mabala alambangeti, “Kamubani baswepa myoyo mbuli Ame ncendaswepa moyo.”
17 And if ye invoke him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourning with jealous fear:
Lesa liya lusalululo. Ukute kombolosha uliyense kwelana ne micito yakendi. Mwambangeti, Ta pakupaila, mupeni bulemu cindi conse ncomulicili panshi pano.
18 knowing that ye have not been redeemed out of your vain manner of life, derived traditionally from your fathers, by the corruptible things, silver and gold,
Mucishi cena ncalasebenshesha pakumulubula ku mikalilo yaipa njemwalatambula kufumina ku bamashali benu. Liya kumulubula ne mali asa akute konongeka, silifa nambi golide sobwe.
19 but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb:
Walamulubula ne milopa ya Klistu yamulo wadula, uyo walalibengeti M wanambelele wabula cibala nambi bulema.
20 who was indeed predestined before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for us,
Lesa walamusalilalimo cishi capanshi citana cilengwa, nomba lamuyubululu mumasuba ano akupwililisha cebo canjamwe.
21 who by him believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kupitila mulyendiye, mulashomonga Lesa walamupundusha kubafu, nekumupa bulemu. Neco lushomo ne kupembelela kwenu bili pali Lesa.
22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth through the Spirit unto fraternal affection undissembled, love each other intensely out of a pure heart:
Mulaswepeshe myoyo yenu pakunyumfwa cancinencine, kwambeti munyumfwanenga ne baklistu banenu. Ecebo cakendi mwela kusunana nemoyo wonse.
23 born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the quickening word of God, and which abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga mulenshi kusemwa tubili, buyumi bwakendi nkabulafumunga mu mbuto ya mushali ukute kufwa sobwe, nsombi mu mbuto itafu, iyo mbuto ni maswi a Lesa, maswi abuyumi eshakabule kupwa. (aiōn g165)
24 “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man, as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower of it falleth off:”
Mbuli Mabala a Lesa, alambangeti, “Bantu bonse balyeti mila, bulemu bwabo bulyeti maluba amucisuwa. Mila ikute kuyuma, nawo maluba akute kunyana.
