1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Une che Petulo, nduna ju Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵansagulikwe ni Akunnungu, ni ŵampwilingene ni ŵankutama nti achalendo ku Ponto ni ku Galatia ni ku Kapadokia ni ku Asia ni ku Bisinia.
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
Akunnungu Atati ŵansagwile ŵanyamwe malinga ni iŵasachile ni kuntenda mme ŵaswejekwe kwa litala lya Mbumu, kuti nkombole kunjitichisya Che Yesu Kilisito ni kujosekwa ni miasi jao. Ngunsachila umbone wa Akunnungu ni chitendewele chachijinji.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Twalape Akunnungu, Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito! Kwa chanasa chao chachikulungwa ŵatuŵeleche sooni kwa kunsyusya Che Yesu. Atupele chilolelo cha umi,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
nipele tukulolela kupochela indu yambone yejinji, yati Akunnungu ŵaŵichile ŵandu ŵao kwinani kwangaikuwola atamuno kujonasika atamuno kusisina.
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Chiuŵe wenu ŵanyamwe ŵankugosekwa ni machili ga Akunnungu kwa litala lya chikulupi, kwa ukulupusyo wauli chile kuunukukwa pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
6 In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
Msengwanje nkati yeleyo, namuno sambano, kwa katema kakajipi, chinsachilwe kulaga kwa ligongo lya malinjilo gamajinji.
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise, and honor, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Kulinjikwa kwenu ko kuli kwa liŵamba lya kuchipima chikulupi chenu iŵaga chili cha usyene. Pakuŵa namose sahabu jili chindu cha konasika, jikulinjikwa ni mooto. Iyoyo peyo chikulupi chenu chachili cha ndalama kupunda sahabu chichilinjikwe kuti chimanyiche iŵaga chili chisyene. Ni kwa ligongo lyo chimpochele lumbili ni ukulu ni luchimbichimbi katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachakopochele.
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory:
Ŵanyamwe nkwanonyela ŵelewo namuno nganimwawone ni nkwakulupilila namuno ngankwawona kwa sambano. Nipele nkusengwa nnope kwa lukondwa lwekulu lwangalukuŵechetekwa,
9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
pakuŵa mkupochela mbote ja kukulupilila kwenu, jelejo jili chiwombosyo chenu.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] to you:
Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵasosilesosile ni ŵalolitelolite yankati ukulupusyo wo, ŵanyawo ŵasagamukwile yankati ntuuka wati Akunnungu chachimpa ŵanyamwe.
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
Ŵasosile kumanyilila chiiŵe katema chi ni chiŵeuli. Chindu chachiŵechetekwe ni Mbumu jwa Kilisito ŵaali nkati mwao, juŵalongolele kusala nkati masauko gachigaasimane Kilisito ni ukulu uchiukopochele pakumala yeleyo.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Akunnungu ŵaunukulile ŵakulondola kuti utenga uŵajenesye ula nganiwagamba ŵele achinsyene, nambo wangambaga ŵanyamwe. Ni sambano utenga wo ulalichikwe kukwenu ni ŵele ŵaŵanlalichile ŵanyamwe Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juŵatumikwe kutyochela kwinani. Indu yo, namuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani akulajila kwimanya.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Kwa ligongo lyo, mmeje chile ni kuchesya. Mmichanje chilolelo chenu chose mu umbone wa Akunnungu uchimpegwe katema Che Yesu Kilisito pachaunukulikwe.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Mmeje mpela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ŵakujitichisya, nkatama kwa kujikuya misese jenu jangalumbana jimwaliji najo katema pamwaliji ngankuumanyilila usyene wa Akunnungu.
15 But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of deportment.
Nambo mpela jwele jwammilasile yatite kuŵa jwanswela, nomwe ŵakwe mme ŵaswela mu lwendo lwenu lose.
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Mme ŵaswela, pakuŵa none ndili jwanswela.”
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
Pankwakolanga Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nkwaŵilanga Atati. Nipele, mmanyililanje kuti ŵelewo akunlamula jwalijose malinga ni aila yaitesile pangali lusagu. Kwayele njendelechele kutama yambone pa katema kakasigalile pachilambo pano nkwachimbichisya Akunnungu kwannope.
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain course of life [received] by tradition from your fathers;
Pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe ŵammombwelwe mu wende wenu wangalimate, umwapochele kutyochela kwa achachekulu ŵenu. Nambo nganammombola kwa indu yakuwola, pane kwa maganga ga mbiya pane sahabu.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Nambo mwakulupwiswe kwa miasi ja ndalama jajikulungwa ja Kilisito. Jwali mpela mwanangondolo jwangali chilema namose lidoa.
20 Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,
Ŵelewo ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo, ŵaunukulikwe mmoŵa ga mbesi gano kwa ligongo lyetu.
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito, nkwakulupilila Akunnungu juŵansyusisye ni kwapa ukulu, ni mwa yeleyo chikulupi ni chilolelo chenu ili kwa Akunnungu.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Pakuŵa sambano, kwa kuujitichisya usyene, ŵanyamwe nswejeswe mbumu syenu ni kwanonyela achinjenu pangali ulamba. Nipele nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Pakuŵa mpagwile kaaŵili ngaŵa kwa mundu jwakuwa nambo kwa mundu jwangakuwa, lisyene lili Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyalili lyalijumi, ni lyalikulama moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away:
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Ŵandu wose ali mpela masamba, ni ukulu wao wose uli mpela uluŵa wa masamba. Masamba gakuumula ni uluŵa ukupatuka.
