1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Naizvozvo bvisai uipi hwese nemano-mano ese neunyepedzeri negodo neucheri hwese,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
savacheche vachangoberekwa, pangai mukaka usina kunyengera wakarongeka, kuti mukure nawo;
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
zvimwe kana makaravira kuti Ishe ane moyo munyoro.
4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
Wamunouya kwaari, ibwe benyu, rakarambwa zvirokwazvo nevanhu, asi pana Mwari rakasarudzwa, rinokosha,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
imwiwo semabwe mapenyu makavakwa muve imba yemweya, upristi utsvene, kuti mubaire zvibairo zvemweya, zvinogamuchirika kuna Mwari kubudikidza naJesu Kristu.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Naizvozvo murugwaro zvirimowo, zvinoti: Tarira, ndinoisa muZiyoni ibwe repakona, rakasanangurwa, rinokosha; neanotenda kwaari haangatongonyadziswi.
7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Naizvozvo kwamuri munotenda anokosha; asi kune vasingateereri: Ibwe vavaki ravakaramba, ndiro rakazova musoro wekona,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
uye ibwe rekugumbusa nedombo rekupinga; vanogumburwa pashoko vasingariteereri; ndizvo zvavakaisirwawo.
9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Asi imwi muri dzinza rakasarudzwa, upristi hweumambo, rudzi rutsvene, vanhu vakawanikwa, kuti muparidze kwese kunaka kwaiye wakadana imwi kubva parima muuye kuchiedza chake chinoshamisa;
10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
imwi maimbova musi vanhu, asi ikozvino muri vanhu vaMwari; makange musina kunzwirwa tsitsi, asi ikozvino manzwirwa tsitsi.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Vadiwa, ndinokukumbirisai sevatorwa nevapfuuri, kuti muzvidzore pakuchiva kwenyama, kunorwa nemweya;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
mune mufambiro wenyu wakanaka pakati pevahedheni; kuti pavanokumhurai sevaiti vezvakaipa, pamabasa akanaka avanoona varumbidze Mwari nezuva rekushanyirwa.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Naizvozvo muzviise pasi pechimiso chimwe nechimwe chevanhu nekuda kwaIshe; kana ari mambo, saiye anotonga;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
kana kuvatungamiriri, sekune vakatumwa naye pakurangwa zvirokwazvo kwevaiti vezvakaipa, asi ive rumbidzo yevanoita zvakanaka.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Nokuti ndizvo zvinoita chido chaMwari, kuti nekuita zvakanaka munyaradze kusaziva kwevanhu mapenzi;
16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
sevakasununguka, asi musava nekusungunuka sechifukidzo chezvakaipa, asi sevaranda vaMwari.
17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Kudzai vese. Idai ukama. Ityai Mwari. Kudzai mambo.
18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Varanda, zviisei pasi pemadzitenzi nekutya kwese, kwete kune vakanaka nevanyoro chete, asiwo kune vasakarurama.
19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
Nokuti idzi inyasha, kana nekuda kwehana kuna Mwari munhu achitsungirira kurwadziwa, achitambudzika zvisakafanira.
20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.
Nokuti zvine rumbidzo yei, kana muchitadza ndokurohwa muchitsungirira? Asi kana muchiita zvakanaka uye muchitambudzika muchitsungirira, izvi inyasha kuna Mwari.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Nokuti makadanirwa izvi, nokuti Kristuwo wakatambudzikira isu, akasiira isu muenzaniso, kuti mutevere makwara ake;
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
iye asina kuita chivi, nekunyengera hakuna kuwanikwa mumuromo make;
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
iye wakati achituka haana kutukawo; achitambudzika haana kutyityidzira; asi wakazvikumikidza kune anotonga zvakarurama;
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
iye amene wakatakura zvivi zvedu pamuviri wake pamuti, kuti tafa kuzvivi tiraramire kururama; iye wamakaporeswa nemavanga ake.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Nokuti makange makaita semakwai akarasika; asi ikozvino madzokera kuMufudzi neMutariri wemweya yenyu.
