1 Peter 1
1 To the People of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro mtume wa Yesu Kristo, na ageni ba baganike baba saulikwe katika Ponto yoti, Garatia, Kapadokia, Asia na Bithinia.
2 and who were chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the consecration of the Spirit, to learn obedience, and to be purified by the sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ, from Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ. May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure.
Buka nitangite Ninungu, Baba, kwo takaswa na Roho mtakatifu, kwa kumwubiliya Yesu Kristo, na kwo jitililikwa myai yake. Neema ibe kwinu na amani yinu iyongekeye.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, in his great mercy, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Nnungu tati wa Bwana witu Yesu Kristo na angali. Katika ukulo wa Rehema yake atetupapa wayambi na ujasili wa urithi pitya kwo yuke Yesu Kristo pitya muwafu.
4 given us the new Life of undying hope, that promises an inheritance, imperishable, stainless, unfading, which has been reserved for you in Heaven —
Kwa urithi wa wangalilumya, wangalibana na usapu wa Pungwa, Utibikilwa kwa Nnungu ajili yinu.
5 for you who, through faith, are being guarded by the power of God, awaiting a Salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last days.
Kwa uwezo wa Nnungu tundalindilikwa Pitya imani kwa wokovu ambao ubile tayali kwa umukulwa katika masoba ya mwisho.
6 At the thought of this you are full of exultation, though (if it has been necessary) you have suffered for the moment somewhat from various trials;
Mupulaike katika lino, mubagane sayeno lazima kwinu bona uzuni katika kumpaya kwa aina mbalembale.
7 that the genuineness of your faith — a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire — may win praise and glory and honour at the Appearing of Jesus Christ.
Yino ni kwasababu imani yinu iyongekeye kumpayanga, imani yoni ya thamani kuliko Dhahabu ambayo indaoba katika mwoto ambao iipakia imani yino. Yino tokea imani yino ipate beleka sifa, utukufu, na heshima katika kumumu kwa Yesu Kristo.
8 Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words,
Munamonali ywembe lakini mumpendile, munamonali sayino lakini muamini katika ywembe na mupulaike kweli kweli kwa pula ambayo ipatike utukufu.
9 as you receive the reward of your faith in the Salvation of your souls!
Sayino mwendapokya mwabene matokeo ga imani yino, wokovu wanafsi yinu.
10 It was this Salvation that the Prophets, who spoke long ago of the blessing intended for you, sought, and strove to comprehend;
Manabii butepala na lokia kwa umakini usu wkovu wuno, nusu Neema ambayo yinu.
11 as they strove to discern what that time could be, to which the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when foretelling the sufferings that would befall Christ, and the glories that would follow.
Bupalite tanga ndila yaku ya wokovu wo isa. Bapalite kae pala tanga muda gani Roho ya Kristo ywa bile nkati yabe abile kalongela nabo namani, yino yabile kaipitya wakati Pabile kaba bakiya mapema husu mateso ga Yesu Kristo na utukufu waupeleke kunkingama.
12 And it was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were acting as Ministers of the truths which have now been told to you, by those who, with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, have brought you the Good News — truths into which even angels long to look.
Baumukulilwe manabii kwamba babile kamatumukia mamba aga na twenga kwa ajiri yabe bena, ila kwa ajili yinu, simulya kwa mambo aga pitya kwa balu babaleta injili ya Roho mtakatifu ywa tumilwe buka Mbinguni, mambo ambayo hata Malaika bapendi umukulwa kwabe.
13 Therefore concentrate your minds, with the strictest self-control, and fix your hopes on the blessing that is coming for you at the Appearing of Jesus Christ.
Kwa njo mutabe iuno yino, kwa malango ginu. Mutame liki katika wasakwinu. Mube na ujasiri woubelikwa kwa neema ya Yaisa kwinu wakati wa wamwau mukulikwa kwa Yesu Kristo.
14 Be like obedient children; do not let your lives be shaped by the passions which once swayed you in the days of your ignorance,
Kati bana babayuwa, kwane mwitabe mwabone na tamaa mwatikwikingama wakati pamwabile ntupu tanga.
15 but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your Call.
Kwanjo kati mwankemite mwabile mtakatifu, na mwenga mube mwatakatifukatika tabia yinu yote maishani.
16 For Scripture says — ‘You shall be holy, because I am holy.’
kwa njo batiandika “Mube mwatakatifu kwa sababu ata nenga nantakatifu”.
17 And since you call upon him as ‘Father,’ who judges every one impartially by what he has done, let reverence be the spirit of your lives during the time of your stay upon earth.
Na mwana mwakwe matate yulu ywa ukumu kwa haki alinga na kasi ya kila mundu, tutumi muda wa mwanja witu katika unyenyekevu.
18 For you know that it was not by perishable things, such as silver and gold, that you were Ransomed from the aimless way of living which was handed down to you from your ancestors,
Mutangite kwa njo yabile kwa ela, wa dhahabu -li kwa ilebe yai nyamaruka ambayo ititukombwa Buka mutabi ya itu ya kijinga ambayo yatuyi ganilwe na “ttati” bitu.
19 but by precious blood, as it were of a lamb, unblemished and spotless, the Blood of Christ.
Kwa njo muti kombolekwa kwa miyai ya ishima ya Kristo, na kati Ngondolo ywa bile na kila li dowa.
20 Destined for this before the beginning of the world, he has been revealed in these last days for your sakes,
Kristo ate saulikwa kabia ya msingi wa lunia, kwanjo sayeno machuba ga mwiso, muteumukulwa kwinu.
21 who, through him, are faithful to God who raised him from the dead and gave him honour, so that your faith and hope are now in God.
Mumwubilya Nn”ungu pitya ywembe atikumpeya utukufu ili kwamba Imani yinu na ujasiri ube katika Nn”ungu.
22 Now that, by your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine brotherly affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;
Muipangite nafsi kwipanga sodi kwa yikita kwinu kweli, kwa dhumuni pendo la kiulongo lyalibile na unyofu, kwa njo mupendane kwa bidii buka pa mwoyo winu.
23 since your new Life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the Message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
Mubelekwile mora inebile, sio kwa mbeyu yaiaribike, lakini buka kwa mbegu yange aribikea, pitya ukoti na neno lya Nn”ungu lyalijingile. (aiōn g165)
24 For — ‘All earthly life is but as grass, and all its splendour as the flower of grass. The grass fades, its flower falls,
Kwa njo yega yoti ni makapi, na utukufu wake woti katimaluba na makapi, makapi yuma na maluba tumbuka.
