1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro, muapositori waJesu Kristu, kuvaeni vakasanangurwa vekupararira kwePonto, Garatia, Kapadhokiasi, Asia, neBhitiniasi,
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
maererano nekuziva zviri mberi kwaMwari Baba, mukuita vatsvene kweMweya, pakuteerera nekusasa kweropa raJesu Kristu: Nyasha nerugare ngazviwanzwe kwamuri.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Wakaropafadzwa Mwari naBaba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, iye zvichienderana nekuwanda kwetsitsi dzake wakatiberekazve patariro inorarama kubudikidza nekumuka kwaJesu Kristu kubva kuvakafa,
4 unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
panhaka isingaori neisina kusvibiswa uye isingabvuruvari, yakachengeterwa imwi kumatenga,
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
imwi munochengetwa nesimba raMwari kubudikidza nerutendo kuruponeso rwakagadzirirwa kuzarurwa panguva yekupedzisira.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations,
Yamunofara mairi zvikuru, kunyange ikozvino kwechinguvana, kana zvichifanira, muri pakushungurudzwa mumiedzo yakasiyana-siyana,
7 that the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, might be found unto praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
kuti kuedzwa kwerutendo rwenyu kunokosha zvikuru kupfuura kwegoridhe rinoparara, kunyange ichiidzwa nemoto, kuwanikwe mukurumbidzwa nerukudzo nekubwinya pakuonekwa kwaJesu Kristu;
8 whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
iye musina kumuona munomuda; iye ikozvino musingamuoni asi munotenda kwaari, munofara nemufaro usingatauriki uye unorumbidzwa,
9 receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
muchigamuchira mugumo werutendo rwenyu, ruponeso rwemweya yenyu.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto you:
Nezveruponeso urwu vaporofita vakabvunzisisa nekunzvera, ivo vakaporofita zvenyasha dzinouya kwamuri;
11 searching what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
vachinzvera kuti panguva ipi kana yakadini Mweya waKristu akange ari mavari yaakaratidza, paakagara apupura matambudziko maererano naKristu, nekubwinya shure kweizvi.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Kwavari kwakaratidzwa kuti kwete kwavari ivo, asi kwatiri vaishandira zvinhu izvi, zvamunoparidzirwa ikozvino nevakakuparidzirai evhangeri neMweya Mutsvene wakatumwa kubva kudenga, zvinhu izvo vatumwa zvavanoshuva kunyatsoongorora.
13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Naizvozvo masunga zviuno zvemurangariro wenyu, zvidzorei, mutaririre zvakakwana kunyasha dzinouyiswa kwamuri pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu;
14 as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] your ignorance:
sevana vanoteerera, musingazvifananidzi nekuchiva kwakare pakusaziva kwenyu.
15 but like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
Asi sezvo wakakudanai ari mutsvene, nemwiwo ivai vatsvene pamafambiro ese;
16 because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Ivai vatsvene, nokuti ini ndiri mutsvene.
17 And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
Zvino kana muchimuidza Baba, iye pasina rusarura anotonga zvinoenderana nebasa reumwe neumwe, garai panguva yeutorwa hwenyu mukutya;
18 knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;
muchiziva kuti hamuna kudzikunurwa nezvinoora, sirivheri kana goridhe, pamafambiro enyu asina maturo amakagamuchira kumadzibaba enyu;
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:
asi neropa rinokosha raKristu seregwayana risina charinopomerwa uye risina gwapa.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,
Iye zvirokwazvo wakagara azikanwa nyika isati yavambwa, asi wakaratidzwa panguva dzekupedzisira nekuda kwenyu,
21 who through him are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
iye wamunotenda naye kuna Mwari, wakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa, akamupa kubwinya; kuti rutendo rwenyu netariro zvive kuna Mwari.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:
Manatsa mweya yenyu pakuteerera chokwadi kubudikidza neMweya mukuda hama nekusanyengera, dananai zvikuru nemoyo wakachena;
23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (aiōn g165)
maberekwa kutsva kwete zvichibva pambeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari rinorarama nekugara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
Nokuti nyama yese yakaita seuswa, nekubwinya kwese kwemunhu seruva reuswa. Uswa hwunosvava, neruva rahwo rinodonha;
