1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Pita, mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito, kubenzu bamwaikilide kumanyika, ibasalidwe, koonse ku Pontasi, Galantiya, Kkapadosiya, Eziya, aku Bbitiniya.
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
Eechi chilimumabambe amumakanze a Leza Taata, mukwinda mumubeleko usalazigwa a Muuya, kuti mumutelele alubo mukwinda mukusansailwa bulowa bwa Jesu Kkilisito. Iluzyalo ngalube alindinywe, alubo lumuuno ngaluyungizizigwe kulindinywe.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Akube kuti Leza wisi wa-Mwami Jesu Kkilisito alumbayizigwe! Muluzyalo lwakwe lupati, wakatupa kuzyalwa kupya iswebo bulabulangizi bwabuponi kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito kuzwa kubafu.
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Eechi nchalukkono lutakabule kumana pe, lutakabule akabbata, alubo talukonzyi pe kuyokulumpana abunini. Lulibambidwe kujulu kalulinda nduwe.
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Iwebo ulikwabilidwe munguzu zya-Leza kwinda mukusyoma kwalufutuko olo lwimvwilidi kuyoyubununwa mukugola kwechindi.
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
Ulikondedwe atala acheechi, nekuba kwalino kulelede kuti mube akuusa kukusunkwa kwiingi.
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Echi chilabawo kuti kukabonwe lusyomo lwanu, olu lwindide ngolida mbotu ikulumpala, nekuba yakawumpwa mumulilo. Echi chilachitika kuti lusyomo lwanu lukajanike kalulempindu ilentembawuzyo, abulemu, achilemeko ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Tamuna kumubona pe, pesi mulamuyanda. Tamumuboni pe kwalino, pesi mulasyoma mulinguwe akukondwa alukondo lutambiiki luzwide bulemu.
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Kwalino muyolitambwida lwenu mpindu yalusyomo lwanu, lufutuko lwa muuya yenu.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:
Ataala alufutuko olu, basinsiimi abo bakasinsima atala aluzyalo olo lwakali kuyanda kuza alindinywe, bakayandula chabusungu kabayanda kuziba,
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
Kabayandula kuziba kuti muntunzi nakuti chinoli chiindiinzi echo muuya wa Kkilisito nchiwakalikwamba mulimbabo awo mpakabambilide kuti katana kwabwa kuyoba machise a Kkilisito abulemu buyotobela.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did minister the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Chakayubununwa kulimbabo kuti tebakali kulibelekela lwabo beni pe, pesi anywebo, awo mpobakali kwamba atala azintu ezyo zyakambwa kulindinywe ababo bamukambawukila mulumbe wamakani mabotu kulindinywe kwinda ku-Muuya Uusalala wakatumwa kuzwa kujulu-kachili chintu baangelo nchibakali kulakamizya {kupeekezya}.
13 Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Nkikaako amulyaange muzibuno zyanu zyakuyeeya kwenu. Amube babotu. Amubike bulangizi bwenu chakumaninina kuluzyalo olo luyoyetwa kulindinywe ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Mbuli bana bateelela, mutakabwedululi kukuyandisya kwenu nkumwakali kuponena chiindi nimwakachili mukutaziba.
15 But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation;
Nkambo kakuti oyo iwakamwiita ulasalala, inywebo, kulelede, kuti musalale mubube bwanu boonse.
16 Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy.
Nkambo mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Amusalale, nkambo Ambebo ndasalala.”
17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Na kamumwita kuti “Taata” oyo ubeteka chakutalanga chiimo chamuntu alubo umwi mbuli milimo yakwe, amwende lwendo olu muchindi chanu chakumuyowa.
18 For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Mulizi kuti techakachitwa ansiliva ikulumpala na ingolida ezyo nzimwakali kununulwa ezyo kukwenda kwenu kwabuyo nkomwakiiya kuliba mawuso.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Anukuti, nywebo mwakanunulwa abulowa bubotu bwa Kkilisito, oyo wakali m buli mwana wambelele utakwe kampenda nikaba kabbata.
20 Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Kkilisito wakalizibinkenwe kakutana kuba kulengwa kwenyika, pesi kwalino wakazoyubununwa kulindinywe muzyiindi zyamamanino.
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kwinda mulinguwe muzumine kuli Leza, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu akumupa bulemu, kuli lusyomo lwanu abulangizi bwenu bube kuli Leza.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Mwakachita myuya kuti ibote mukwinda mukutelela kukasimpe. Echi chakaba obo kukumwetela luyando lwababunyina; amukayandane umwi awumwi kazizwa mumoyo. Amwi malembe mapati abensiku bachiGiliki abalika obu, Mwakasalazya myoyo yanu kukutelela kukasimpe kwinda kumuya.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever. (aiōn g165)
Mwakazyalwa bupya, kutali kuzwa kumbuto ikulumpala pe, pesi kuzwa kumbuto itakulumpali, kwinda mujwi lya-Leza litakasyale kalipona (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and the flower thereof falls away:
Nkambo kakuti, “Nyama yoonse ilimbuli bwizu, abulemu bwayo bonse bulimbuli malubaluba abwizu bwamusokwe. Ibwizu ngabwayuma, awalo malubaluba nganyana awidaansi,
