1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
Une che Petulo, nduna ju Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵansagulikwe ni Akunnungu, ni ŵampwilingene ni ŵankutama nti achalendo ku Ponto ni ku Galatia ni ku Kapadokia ni ku Asia ni ku Bisinia.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Akunnungu Atati ŵansagwile ŵanyamwe malinga ni iŵasachile ni kuntenda mme ŵaswejekwe kwa litala lya Mbumu, kuti nkombole kunjitichisya Che Yesu Kilisito ni kujosekwa ni miasi jao. Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele chachijinji.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;
Twalape Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito! Kwa chanasa chao chachikulungwa ŵatuŵeleche sooni kwa kunsyusya Che Yesu. Atupele chilolelo cha umi,
4 and into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and fadeless, which has been kept in heaven for you
nipele tukulolela kupochela indu yambone yejinji, yati Akunnungu ŵaŵichile ŵandu ŵao kwinani kwangaikuwola atamuno kujonasika atamuno kusisina.
5 who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.
Chiuŵe wenu ŵanyamwe ŵankugosekwa ni machili ga Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi, kwa ukulupusyo wauli chile kuunukukwa pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
6 Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
Msengwanje nkati yeleyo, namuno sambano, kwa katema kakajipi, chinsachilwe kulaga kwa ligongo lya malinjilo gamajinji.
7 These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Kulinjikwa kwenu ko kuli kwa liŵamba lya kuchipima chikulupi chenu iŵaga chili cha usyene. Pakuŵa namose sahabu jili chindu cha konasika, jikulinjikwa ni mooto. Iyoyo peyo chikulupi chenu chachili cha ndalama kupunda sahabu chichilinjikwe kuti chimanyiche iŵaga chili chisyene. Ni kwa ligongo lyo chimpochele lumbili ni ukulu ni luchimbichimbi katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachakopochele.
8 Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Ŵanyamwe nkwanonyela ŵelewo namuno nganimwawone ni nkwakulupilila namuno ngankwawona kwa sambano. Nipele nkusengwa nnope kwa lukondwa lwekulu lwangalukuŵechetekwa,
9 as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
pakuŵa mkupochela mbote ja kukulupilila kwenu, jelejo jili chiwombosyo chenu.
10 Concerning this salvation the Prophets who prophesied regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.
Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵasosilesosile ni ŵalolitelolite yankati ukulupusyo wo, ŵanyawo ŵasagamukwile yankati ntuuka wati Akunnungu chachimpa ŵanyamwe.
11 They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
Ŵasosile kumanyilila chiiŵe katema chi ni chiŵeuli. Chindu chachiŵechetekwe ni Mbumu jwa Kilisito ŵaali nkati mwao, juŵalongolele kusala nkati masauko gachigaasimane Kilisito ni ukulu uchiukopochele pakumala yeleyo.
12 It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.
Akunnungu ŵaunukulile ŵakulondola kuti utenga uŵajenesye ula nganiwagamba ŵele achinsyene, nambo wangambaga ŵanyamwe. Ni sambano utenga wo ulalichikwe kukwenu ni ŵele ŵaŵanlalichile ŵanyamwe Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juŵatumikwe kutyochela kwinani. Indu yo, namuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani akulajila kwimanya.
13 So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Kwa ligongo lyo, mmeje chile ni kuchesya. Mmichanje chilolelo chenu chose mu umbone wa Akunnungu uchimpegwe katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachaunukulikwe.
14 Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,
Mmeje mpela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵakujitichisya, nkatama kwa kujikuya misese jenu jangalumbana jimwaliji najo katema pamwaliji ngankuumanyilila usyene wa Akunnungu.
15 but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,
Nambo mpela jwele jwammilasile yatite kuŵa jwanswela, nomwe ŵakwe mme ŵaswela mu lwendo lwenu lose.
16 as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mme ŵaswela, pakuŵa none ndili jwanswela.”
17 And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
Pankwakolanga Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nkwaŵilanga Atati. Nipele, mmanyililanje kuti ŵelewo akunlamula jwalijose malinga ni aila yaitesile pangali lusagu. Kwayele njendelechele kutama yambone pa katema kakasigalile pachilambo pano nkwachimbichisya Akunnungu kwannope.
18 For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;
Pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe ŵammombwelwe mu wende wenu wangalimate, umwapochele kutyochela kwa achachekulu ŵenu. Nambo nganammombola kwa indu yakuwola, pane kwa maganga ga mbiya pane sahabu.
19 but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.
Nambo mwakulupwiswe kwa miasi ja ndalama jajikulungwa ja Kilisito. Jwali mpela mwanangondolo jwangali chilema namose lidoa.
20 He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.
Ŵelewo ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo, ŵaunukulikwe mmoŵa ga mbesi gano kwa ligongo lyetu.
21 Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.
Kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito, nkwakulupilila Akunnungu juŵansyusisye ni kwapa ukulu, ni mwa yeleyo chikulupi ni chilolelo chenu ili kwa Akunnungu.
22 Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.
Pakuŵa sambano, kwa kuujitichisya usyene, ŵanyamwe nswejeswe mbumu syenu ni kwanonyela achinjenu pangali ulamba. Nipele nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose.
23 For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God. (aiōn g165)
Pakuŵa mpagwile kaaŵili ngaŵa kwa mundu jwakuwa nambo kwa mundu jwangakuwa, lisyene lili Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyalili lyalijumi, ni lyalikulama moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
24 For, All flesh is grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Ŵandu wose ali mpela masamba, ni ukulu wao wose uli mpela uluŵa wa masamba. Masamba gakuumula ni uluŵa ukupatuka.
