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,
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, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
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 [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,
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 unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
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 by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a 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 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations,
Jalo itumeleng ka boammaaruri! Go na le boitumelo jo bogolo kwa pele, le fa go tsamaya go sa itumedise ka lobakanyana fano.
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:
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 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:
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 end of your faith, [even] the 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 and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto 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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
Jaanong lo ka lebelela ka tlhoafalo le tlhalefo ya tshiamo ya Modimo fa Keresete Jesu a bowa.
14 as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] 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 like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
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 is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
Ene ka boene o rile, “Lo tshwanetse go nna Boitshepo, gonne ke Boitshepo.”
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:
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 knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;
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 without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:
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 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,
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 are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might 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 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:
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 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (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 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
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;
