< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro, intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, ku bhagenyi bhanu abha mu bhunyalambuke, ku bhasolwa, mu Ponto yona, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, na mu Bhisinia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
okulubhana no bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga, Lata, kwo kwesibhwa na Mwoyo Mwelu, kwo bhwolobhe bhwa Yesu Kristo, na kulwo kwitililwa insagama yaye. Echigongo chibhe kwimwe, no mulembe gwemwe gwiyongeshe.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Nyamuanga Lata wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo mbe esishwe libhando. Mu bhukulu bhwe chigongo chaye, achiyanile okwibhulwa kuyaya kwo bhubhasi bhwo kulyo mwandu okulabha mu bhusuluko bha Yesu Kristo okusoka mu bhafuye,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
kulwo kulya omwandu kunu kutali kwa kusimagila. kutakubhawo na bhujabhi nolwo kukeyelelwe. Kubhikilwe mu lwile ingulu yemwe.
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Kwo bhutulo bhwa Nyamuanga okulibhata okulubhana ne likilisha lyo Mwelulo gunu guliwo bhwangu okusululwa mu mwanya gwo bhutelo.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
Nimukondelwe mu linu, nolwo kutyo woli ni bhusi-bhusi kwemwe okwiyungwa obhusulumbaye mu malegejo ga bhuli nyami ku gandi na gandi.
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Jinu ni kwa insonga ati elikilisha lyemwe lisakwe, elikilisha linu lili lyo bhugusi bhulambu kukila ijaabhu, inu eibhula mu mumulilo gunu koleleki lisakwe elikilisha lyemwe. Jinu ejibhonekana koleleki elikilisha lyemwe libhone okwibhula obhumenyi, likusho, echibhalo mu kuswelulwa kwa Yesu Kristo.
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Muchaliga kumulola omwene, mbe nawe omumwenda. Mutakumulola woli, nawe omwikilisha mu mwene na muli no kukondelwa kunu kutakutula kwaikwa kwo bhukonde bhunu bhwijuywe likusho.
9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
Woli emwe abhene omulamila ganu mwakolele mu likilisha lyemwe, omwelulo gwe mitima jemwe.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you:
Abhalagi bhaigile no kubhusilisha kwo kwitegelesha okulubhana no Mwelulo gunu, okulubhana ne chiongo chinu chakabhee chemwe.
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.
Bhaigile nibhenda okumenya omwelulo ogwo kutyo guli nigwa nyami-ki ugwa gukachijako. Bhaigile one okwenda okumenya ati ni mwanya-ki gunu Mwoyo wa Kristo unu ali munda yebhwe aliga naika-ki nabho. Jinu jaliga nijibhonekana mu mwanya gunu elabhaga obhabhwila okulubhana na jinyako ja Kristo na likusho linu lyakamulubhile.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Ejo jasuluywe ku bhalagi ati bhaliga nibhabhakolela emisango jinu, nawe atali ingulu yebhwe abhene, nawe ingulu yemwe-inyaika ye misango jinu okulabha ku bhalya bhanu abhachiletela omusango gwo bhwana kwemwe ku njila ya Mwoyo Mwelu unu atumilwe okusoka mu lwile, emisango jinu nolwo bhamalaika one abhaligila kwo kuswelulilwa kwaye.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Kulwejo mwibhoyega ebhibhunu bhyo bhwenge bhwemwe. Nimubhega bhanu bhanu bhatuliye mu menganilisho gemwe. Nimubhega no bhubhasi bhwo kwiikanyimbwa mu chigongo chinu echiletwa kwemwe mu mwanya gwo kuswelulilwa kwa Yesu Kristo.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Lwa bhana bhatoto abholobhe, mwasiga kubhoywa abhene kwa jinamba jinu mwalubhile mu mwanya gunu mwaliga mutangasha bhumenyi.
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo unu abhabhilikiye aliga Mwelu, emwe one, mubhega bhelu mu ntungwa jemwe jona mu bhulame.
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Kulwo kubha jandikilwe ati, “Nimubhega bhelu, ku nsonga anye nili Mwelu.”
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
Alabha mukabhilikila “Lata” Unu kalamula kwe chimali okulubhana ne milimu ja bhuli munu, kumisha omwanya gwo lugendo lwawo mu kwikeya.
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
Mumenyele ati jaliga jitali ja feja amwi jaabhu- ebhinu bhinu ebhinyamuka-ebhinu bhinu emwe mweluywe okusoka mu ntungwa jemwe ejo bhumumu bhunu mweigiye okusoka ku bhalata bhemwe.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Mbe nawe mweluywe mu nsagama ye chibhalo eya Kristo, lwa inyabhalega inu italiko esolo nolwo kakojole.
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Kristo asolelwe jinfuka je chalo jichali kutebhwawo, mbe nawe woli ku nsiku jinu eja kubhutelo, asuluywe kwemwe.
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.
Mu mwikilisishe Nyamuanga okulabha ku mwene, unu Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mu bhafuye na unu amuyaye likusho koleleki ati elikilisha lyemwe no bhubhasi bhubhe ku Nyamuanga.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Mujikolele emitima jemwe kubha ja kisi kwo bholobhe bhwe chimali chilya, kulwa insonga ye lyenda lya bhasu linu lili no bhwikeya, kwibhyo mwendanega kwo kwikomesha kunu okusoka mu Mioyo.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Emwe mwamalile okwibhulwa lwa kabhili, atali ku njuma unu ejinyamuka, mbe nawe okusoka ku njuma jinu jitakunyamuka, okulabha ku bhuanga no musango gwa Nyamuanga gunu gwasagile. (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 thereof falleth away:
Kulwo kubha “emibhili jona ni kuti mabhibhi, na likusho lyaye lyona ni kuti bhwaso bhwe ebhabhi. Libhabhi eliotoka no bhwaso obhusilisha,
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (aiōn g165)
mbe nawe omusango gwa Latabhugenyi ogusigala kutyo kajanende.” Gunu ni musango gunu gwalasibhwe kuti musango gwo bhwana kwemwe. (aiōn g165)
