1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Ecebo cakendi tayani byaipa byonse, kubepa, kulibonesha, ne munyono kayi ne minyansho.
2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
Mbuli mwana lasemwa calinolino ncakute kulilila mukupa wabanyina, nenjamwe kamubanga ne nkunukwa ya mukupa wancinencine wakumushimu, kwambeti umukulishe nekumushikisha kukupuluka.
3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
Mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Mulatelele nkumbo sha Mwami.”
4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
Lino kamwisani kuli Mwami, libwe lyabuyumi ndyobalakana bantu, nsombi Lesa walalisala kuba lya mulo wadula.
5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Kamwisani mube mabwe abuyumi ngoti asebenseshe Lesa kwibaka ng'anda yakendi, umo mweti musebenselengeti beshimilumbo baswepa balatwalanga milumbo njalayandanga Lesa kupitila muli Yesu Klistu.
6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Pakwinga mu Mabala mwalembweti, “Ndasala libwe lya mulo wadula. Ndalibiki kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda mu Siyoni. Waushoma nteti akanyufwe nsoni.”
7 For you therefore which believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
Lino kuli omwashoma, nendi ni wamulo wadula. Nomba kuli babula lushomo, maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe beshikwibaka ng'anda ndyobalakana, elyalasanduka kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda.”
8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Kayi maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Lyopeleli e libwe lyeti bakalipuntengaponga bantu, libwe lyacandanshi, lyeti likabawishenga bantu.” Ee balalipuntunga pakwinga balakananga maswi a Lesa, kayi ici ecalikuyandika kulyendibo.
9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that ye may shew forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Nomba njamwe mukowa wasalwa, beshimilumbo bacami, mushobo waswepa, bantu bakendi Lesa. Walamusala kwambeti mukakambauke ncito sha ngofu sha uyo walamukuweti mufume mumushinshe kuya kwingila mukumunika kwakendi kwakankamanisha.
10 which in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Kaindi nkamwalikuba bantu bakendi Lesa, nsombi lino njamwe bakendi. Kaindi nkamwalikwishiba sha Lesa, nomba lino mulatambulu nkumbo shakendi.
11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Mobanse bame, pakwinga njamwe bensu mucishici, ndamusengenga kamutakonkelanga lunkumbwa lwa mibili lukute kulwana nkondo ne buyumi bwenu bwa kumushimu.
12 having your behaviour seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Cendo cenu pakati pa bantu ba kunsa cibe caina, kwambeti nambi balamwambangeti mobeshi kwinsa byaipa, nsombi babona ncito shenu shaina, bakakonshe kulemekesha Lesa pabusuba mbweshakese.
13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Cebo ca Mwami Lesa, nyumfwilani bamakulene bakute ngofu shabwendeleshi. Mbuli usa Mwami mukulene ukute ngofu shinene shabwendeleshi munyumfwileni, pakwinga ukute bwendeleshi pa bami nabambi bonse,
14 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
na nibendeleshi mbwalasala, naboyo banyumfwileni pakwinga walabatuma kwambeti bapenga cisubulo beshikwinsa byaipa, kayi kulumba abo balenshinga byaina.
15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Pakwinga Lesa layandangeti mupwishe kwamba kwabuluya kwa bantu kupitila mu bintu byaina mbyomulenshinga.
16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloke of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
Ee, kamubani basunguluka, nsombi kusunguluka kwenu kakutabanga kwakufwekelela byaipa, nsombi kamwikalani eti basebenshi ba Lesa.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Kamulemekanga bantu bonse. Sunani baklistu banenu. Tinani Lesa, kayi neye mwami mukulene usa mumupe bulemu.
18 Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Amwe basebenshi, nyumfwilani nekupa bulemu abo bamwingisha ncito, nteko kuli baina moyo bonka sobwe, nsombi nekuli balukanda bonse.
19 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
Ni cintu caina ulimbikilowa mubyeshikubaba byabula kumwelela pakwinga Lesa nakamupe colwe.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Niciyani ncondelela kumulumba na balamumunga cebo ca mulandu ngomwensa? Nsombi na mulimbikilowa cebo cakwinsa byaina, ekwambeti mulenshi cintu casuminishiwa ne Lesa.
21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Bwikalo bulicisa embwalamukuwila Lesa, ntepasa neye Klistu walanyumfwa byeshikubaba cebo canjamwe, nekumushiyila cilesho kwambeti mukonkelenga myendo yakendi.
22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Liya kwinsapo bwipishi bulibonse, kayi liya kwambapo byabwepeshi sobwe.
23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
Mpobalikumutukana liya kubweshela matuka. Mpwalikupenshewa liya kubayoshapo, nsombi byonse walabibika mumakasa a Lesa, momboloshi walulama.
24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
Klistu walalitwika bwipishi bwetu bonse mumubili wakendi palusanda, kwambeti tuleke kwipisha mubuyumi bwetu, nomba pakukonkela bululami tube bayumi. Mwalasengulwa ne mibata yakendi.
25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Mwalikubeti mbelele shataika, nomba lino mulabwelele kuli mwembeshi lamwembelenga ne kumulanga cena.
