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,
Petro, intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, ku bhagenyi bhanu abha mu bhunyalambuke, ku bhasolwa, mu Ponto yona, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, na mu Bhisinia,
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.
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, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through 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 and into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and fadeless, which has been kept in heaven for you
kulwo kulya omwandu kunu kutali kwa kusimagila. kutakubhawo na bhujabhi nolwo kukeyelelwe. Kubhikilwe mu lwile ingulu yemwe.
5 who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.
Kwo bhutulo bhwa Nyamuanga okulibhata okulubhana ne likilisha lyo Mwelulo gunu guliwo bhwangu okusululwa mu mwanya gwo bhutelo.
6 Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
Nimukondelwe mu linu, nolwo kutyo woli ni bhusi-bhusi kwemwe okwiyungwa obhusulumbaye mu malegejo ga bhuli nyami ku gandi na gandi.
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.
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 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,
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 as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Woli emwe abhene omulamila ganu mwakolele mu likilisha lyemwe, omwelulo gwe mitima jemwe.
10 Concerning this salvation the Prophets who prophesied regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.
Abhalagi bhaigile no kubhusilisha kwo kwitegelesha okulubhana no Mwelulo gunu, okulubhana ne chiongo chinu chakabhee chemwe.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,
Lwa bhana bhatoto abholobhe, mwasiga kubhoywa abhene kwa jinamba jinu mwalubhile mu mwanya gunu mwaliga mutangasha bhumenyi.
15 but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo unu abhabhilikiye aliga Mwelu, emwe one, mubhega bhelu mu ntungwa jemwe jona mu bhulame.
16 as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy.
Kulwo kubha jandikilwe ati, “Nimubhega bhelu, ku nsonga anye nili Mwelu.”
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.
Alabha mukabhilikila “Lata” Unu kalamula kwe chimali okulubhana ne milimu ja bhuli munu, kumisha omwanya gwo lugendo lwawo mu kwikeya.
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;
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 precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.
Mbe nawe mweluywe mu nsagama ye chibhalo eya Kristo, lwa inyabhalega inu italiko esolo nolwo kakojole.
20 He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.
Kristo asolelwe jinfuka je chalo jichali kutebhwawo, mbe nawe woli ku nsiku jinu eja kubhutelo, asuluywe kwemwe.
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.
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 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.
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 For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God. (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 grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,
Kulwo kubha “emibhili jona ni kuti mabhibhi, na likusho lyaye lyona ni kuti bhwaso bhwe ebhabhi. Libhabhi eliotoka no bhwaso obhusilisha,
