1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen sojourners of the dispersion of 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 according to [the] foreknowledge of God the Father, by [the] sanctification of the Spirit, to [the] obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to 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 [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of 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 incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens,
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 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed 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 in which you are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in various trials,
Jalo itumeleng ka boammaaruri! Go na le boitumelo jo bogolo kwa pele, le fa go tsamaya go sa itumedise ka lobakanyana fano.
7 so that the proof of your faith—much more precious than gold that is perishing, and being approved through fire—may be found to [result in] praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus 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 whom, having not seen, you love, in whom, now believing [although] not seeing, you are glad with unspeakable joy and have been filled with glory,
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 receiving the outcome of the faith—salvation of your souls;
Mme tuelo ya lona ya go mo ikanya e tlaa nna poloko ya mewa ya lona.
10 concerning which salvation [the] prophets sought out and searched out, who prophesied concerning the grace toward 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 in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,
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 to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who proclaimed good news to you), by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, to which things messengers desire to look into intently.
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 For this reason, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly on the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Jaanong lo ka lebelela ka tlhoafalo le tlhalefo ya tshiamo ya Modimo fa Keresete Jesu a bowa.
14 as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in 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 according as He who called you [is] holy, you also, become holy in all behavior,
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 has been written: “Become holy, because I am holy”;
Ene ka boene o rile, “Lo tshwanetse go nna Boitshepo, gonne ke Boitshepo.”
17 and if you call on the Father, who is judging without favoritism according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn in fear,
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 having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,
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 precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ’s—
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 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and revealed in the last times because of you,
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 who through Him believe in God who raised [Him] out of the dead, and gave glory to Him, so that your faith and hope may be 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 Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another earnestly out of a pure heart,
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 begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age; (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 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; the grass withered, and the flower of it fell 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;
