1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
Nne a Petili, ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya nng'agulwenje na Atati a Nnungu, bhajeninji nshilambolyo mmutushilenje ku nkoa gwa ku Ponto na ku nkoa gwa ku Galatia na ku Kapadokia na ku Ashia na ku Bhishinia.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Atati a Nnungu bhashinkutumbilila kunng'agulanga mmanganya kuumila bhukalago na mwashinkutakaywanga nagwe Mbumu, kupinga mwaakundanje a Yeshu Kilishitu na nkonjeleywanje na minyai jabho. Ngunakunnjujilanga nnjeshewanje mboka na ulele.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu Atati bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu! Kwa shiya shabho shikulungwa bhashikututenda tupate gumi gwa ambi kwa kwaayuya a Yeshu Kilishitu kukopoka bhakaweje. Bhatupele ngulupai ya kweli,
4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
kwa nneyo tunalindilila ulishi gubhaabhishilenje a Nnungu bhandunji bhabho. A Nnungu bhashikummishilanga gwene ulishigo kunnungu na kweneko ukabhola, ukaangabhanika na wala ukajumula.
5 who by the power of God are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Yeneyo shiibhe yenunji mmanganya kwa ngulupai nnatamangana muulinda gwa mashili ga a Nnungu mpaka muupatanje ntapulo upinga langulwa kumpelo gwa yaka.
6 In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials
Nng'angalalanje kwa genego, ikabheje kwa malanga gashoko ga nnaino gano, nkaangalala ukoto kwa ligongo lya mboteko ya malinjilo gamagwinji,
7 so that the proven character of your faith—far more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire—may result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed.
malinjilo nkupinga nkong'ondelanje ngulupai yenunji. Shaabhu nkali jiangabhanikayo jinalingwa pa moto, na malinga ngulupai jenunji jili ja mana kupunda shaabhu, jinapinjikwa jilingwe jimanyishe gwa mmbone gwakwe. Penepo shinnumbililwanje na kuywa na ishimika lyubha lishibhabhoneshe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 Although you once did not know him, you love him; although you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with an unspeakable and glorious joy,
Nkali nkanabhe kwabhonangayo, mmanganyanji nnakwaakulupalilanga nkali nkakwaabhonanga nnainoyo. Kwa nneyo nnakwiinonyelenga kwa kaje numbe kwangatendeka kutalashiywa,
9 because you are receiving the end result of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
pabha nnapatanga ntapulo gwa mitima jenunji na shitumbililwe nngulupai jenunji.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated,
Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhashinkuloleyanga na kagulila ga gwene ntapulogo, gubhalondolenje ga mboka jipinga kunng'ishilanga mmanganya.
11 inquiring about the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
Gubhalinjilenje kuloleya malanga na miongwe gugapinga koposhela genego. Yani malanga galugwile Mbumu jwa a Kilishitu aliji nkati jabhonji, alilondola ga mboteko ipinga kwaapata a Kilishitu na ukonjelo upinga kagula gapitaga genego.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
A Nnungu bhashikwaunukulilanga bhamumanyanje kuti pubhabheleketangaga gene gumpilikenenje mmanganya kukopoka kwa ashintume. Bhene bhannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atumilwe kukopoka kunnungu. Lyene liengolyo likaliji kwa ligongo lyabhonji ashaayene, ikabhe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganya. Genego nkali ashimalaika bha a Nnungu bhatendaga pinganga bhagabhonanje.
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Kwa nneyo, bhai, mwishimilikanje na nsheyanje. Nnolelanje nema jinkupinga poshelanga pushibhaishe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
14 As children of obedience, do not conform yourselves to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
Nkundanje ga a Nnungu, nnakaguyanje kutenda yangali ya mmbone imwatendangaga bhukala pumwalinginji mabhelu.
15 But just as he who called you is holy, you also must be holy in all your conduct,
Ikabhe malinga bhayene bhanshemilenje shibhali bha ukonjelo, nnapinjikwanga mmanganje mma ukonjelo.
16 for it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Mmanganje mma ukonjelo, pabha nne najwa ukonjelo.”
17 If you call on the Father who judges without partiality according to each person's work, pass the time of your sojourn in reverent fear.
Na ibhaga a Nnungu bhunkwashemanga Atati, bhai mmumanyanje kuti bhenebho bhanaukumula bhandu bhowe kwa itendi yabhonji, gwangali kuagulanya. Kwa nneyo ntamangane kwa lipamba lya kwaajogopa a Nnungu kwa mobha genunjiga tama mbuti bhajeninji pa shilambolyo pano.
18 For you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,
Na mmanganya mmumanyinji kuti nshigombolwanga kukopoka ku gwangali gwa mmbone gwenunji gumwauposhelenje kukopoka kwa ashainabhenunji. Numbe mmangagombolwanga kwa indu iangabhanika, ela na shaabhu,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
ikabhe kwa minyai ja mmbone ja a Kilishitu, bhaaliji malinga mwana ngondolo jwa mmbone na jwangali ilebho.
20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Bhenebho bhashinkuagulwa na a Nnungu kutandubhila bhukala, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, ikabheje kuyaka ya kumpelo ino gubhalangwilwe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kwa ligongo lya bhenebho, nnakwakulupalilanga a Nnungu bhaayushiye bhenebho bhakaweje nikwaapa ukonjelo. Kwa nneyo ngulupai yenunji ibhe kwa a Nnungu.
22 Since you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth through the Spirit, resulting in genuine brotherly love, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
Pabha nnaino, nshikundanga majiganyo ga kweli ga a Yeshu Kilishitu, mmanganya mwiikonjeleyenje mmitima jenunji na kwaapinganga bhandu ajenunji gwangali ya kwilambilila, bhai, mpingananje mpaka mmitima.
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God that lives and abides forever. (aiōn g165)
Pabha nshibhelekwanga gwabhili, nngabha kwa mmbeju yawa, ikabhe kwa mmbeju yangawa, kwa lilobhe lya a Nnungu likwete gumi, litama pitipiti. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man is like a flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls,
Na malinga Majandiko shigakuti bheleketa. “Bhandunji bhowe malinga manyai, na ukonjelo gwakwe gowe na malinga lilubha lya manyai. Manyai ganajumula na malubha ganapakatika.
