1 Peter 1
1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ To [the] elect sojourners of [the] Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro, mupostori waJesu Kristu, kuvasanangurwa vaMwari, vatorwa munyika, vakapararira muPondasi yose, neGaratia, neKapadhokia, Ezhia neBhitinia,
2 according to [the] foreknowledge of God [the] Father by [the] sanctification of [the] Spirit unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace would be multiplied.
vakasarudzwa maererano nokuziva zviri mberi kunoita Mwari Baba, kubudikidza nebasa roMweya rokuvaita vatsvene, kuti vateerere kuna Jesu Kristu nokusaswa neropa rake: Nyasha norugare ngazviwande kwamuri.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, the [One] according to the great of Him mercy having begotten again us to a hope living through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ out from [the] dead,
Mwari, Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, ngaarumbidzwe! Nengoni dzake huru, akatibereka patsva akatipinza mutariro mhenyu nokumuka kwaJesu Kristu kubva kuvakafa,
4 to an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading reserved in [the] heavens for (you *NK(O)*)
akatiisa munhaka isingagoni kuparara, isingaori kana kusvava, yamakachengeterwa kudenga,
5 who by [the] power of God [are] being guarded through faith for [the] salvation ready to be revealed in [the] time last;
imi munodzivirirwa nesimba raMwari nokutenda kusvikira ruponeso rwauya rwakagadzirirwa kuti ruratidzwe munguva dzokupedzisira.
6 in which you greatly rejoice for a little while at present, if being necessary it is, (having been put to grief *NK(o)*) by various trials
Mune izvi munofara zvikuru kunyange zvino, kana zvichifanira, muchitambudzika kwechinguva chiduku nenzira dzose dzemiedzo.
7 so that the proven genuineness of your faith (more precious *N(k)O*) than gold which is perishing through fire though being refined it may be discovered towards praise and (towards *o*) glory and honor in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ;
Izvi zvakauya kuitira kuti kutenda kwenyu, kunokosha kupfuura goridhe, rinoparara kunyange zvaro rakanatswa nomoto, kuwanikwe kwakakwana uye kuve kunorumbidzwa, kunobwinya uye kunokudzwa pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu.
8 whom not (having seen *N(k)O*) you love, on whom now [though] not seeing believing now (you yourself rejoice *NK(o)*) with joy inexpressible and glory-filled,
Kunyange musina kumuona, munomuda; kunyange zvazvo musingamuoni zvino, munotenda kwaari uye muzere nomufaro usingagoni kurondedzerwa,
9 receiving the outcome of the faith of you, [the] salvation of [your] souls;
nokuti muri kugamuchira chinovavarirwa nokutenda kwenyu, irwo ruponeso rwemweya yenyu.
10 Concerning this salvation sought out and searched out diligently [the] prophets of the toward you grace having prophesied,
Nezvoruponeso urwu, vaprofita vakataura nezvenyasha dzaizouya kwamuri, vakanzvera zvikuru uye vakabvunza zvikuru,
11 inquiring into what or what manner of time was signifying the in them Spirit of Christ testifying beforehand unto Christ's sufferings and the after these glories;
vachiedza kunzvera kuti vaone nguva nezvinhu zvairatidzwa noMweya wakanga uri mukati mavo pawakaprofita nezvokutambudzika kwaKristu, uye nezvokubwinya kwaizotevera.
12 to whom it was revealed that not themselves (you *N(K)O*) however they were serving in those things which now have been proclaimed to you through those having evangelised you by [the] Spirit Holy having been sent from heaven, into which desire angels to look.
Zvakaratidzwa kwavari kuti vakanga vasingazvishumiri ivo, asi imi, pavakataura nezvezvinhu zvakataurwa kwamuri zvino naavo vakaparidza vhangeri kwamuri noMweya Mutsvene wakatumwa uchibva kudenga. Kunyange vatumwa vanoshuva kuona zvinhu izvozvi.
13 Therefore having girded up the loins of the mind of you, being sober-minded, fully do set [your] hope upon which is being brought to you grace in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ.
Naizvozvo, pfungwa dzenyu ngadzigadzirire kushanda, muzvidzore; muise, zvizere, tariro yenyu panyasha dzamuchapiwa pakuonekwa kwaJesu Kristu.
14 as children of obedience not fashioning yourselves to the former in the ignorance of you desires,
Savana vanoteerera, musaenzaniswa nezvido zvakaipa zvamaiva nazvo pamairarama mukusaziva.
15 But as the [One] having called you [is] holy also yourselves holy in all [your] conduct do be,
Asi saiye akakudanai mutsvene, ivai vatsvene pane zvose zvamunoita;
16 because it has been written: (that *no*) Holy (you will be, *N(k)(o)*) because I myself holy (am. *NK*)
nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Ivai vatsvene, nokuti ini ndiri mutsvene.”
17 And if [as] Father you call on the [One] impartially judging according to the of each work, in fear during the of the sojourn of you time do conduct yourselves;
Sezvo muchidana kuna Baba vanotonga basa romunhu mumwe nomumwe vasingatsauri, mugare upenyu hwenyu pano savatorwa muchitya.
18 knowing that not by perishable things — by silver or by gold — you were redeemed from the futile of you manner of life handed down from [your] fathers,
Nokuti munoziva kuti hamuna kudzikinurwa nezvinhu zvinoora, zvakadai sesirivha kana goridhe, kubva paupenyu hwenyu husina maturo, hwamakagamuchira kubva kumadzitateguru enyu,
19 but by [the] precious blood as of a lamb without blemish and without spot of Christ,
asi neropa rinokosha raKristu, iro gwayana risina charingapomerwa uye risina kuremara.
20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation [the] world, having been revealed however in ([this] last *N(k)O*) of the times for the sake of you
Akasanangurwa kare nyika isati yavapo, asi akaratidzwa kwamuri mumazuva ano okupedzisira nokuda kwenyu.
21 who through Him (believing *N(k)O*) in God, the [one] having raised up Him out from [the] dead and glory Him having given, so as for the faith of you and hope to be in God.
Kubudikidza naye munotenda kuna Mwari, akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa uye akamukudza, kuti kutenda kwenyu netariro yenyu zvive muna Mwari.
22 The souls of you having purified by obedience to the truth (through spirit *K*) unto brotherly love sincere out of purity of heart one another do love fervently;
Zvino zvamakanatsa mwoyo yenyu nokuteerera chokwadi kuitira kuti mude hama muzvokwadi, munofanira kudanana zvikuru, zvichibva pamwoyo.
23 born again not of seed perishable but of imperishable through [the] word living of God and abiding (into the age; *K*) (aiōn g165)
Nokuti makaberekwa patsva, kwete nembeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari benyu uye rinogara nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
24 because All flesh [is] like grass, and all [the] glory (of it *N(K)O*) like [the] flower of grass; Withers the grass, and the flower (of him *K*) falls away;
Nokuti, “Vanhu vose vakaita souswa, uye kuyevedza kwavo kwakaita samaruva ouswa; uswa hunosvava uye maruva anowira pasi,
