1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro ntume ghwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhahesya bha bhutawanyiko, kwa bhateule, mu ponto j'hioha, Galatia, kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia.
2 chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
Kutokana ni bhufahamu bhwa K'yara, Tata kwa kutakasibhwa ni Roho Mtakatifu, kwa bhutiifu bhwa Yesu Kristu, ni kwa kunyunyusibhwa muasi bhwake. Neema ij'hieghe kwa j'homu, ni amani j'hinu j'hij'honge sikaghe.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
K'yara Tata ghwa Bhwana ghwitu Yesu Kristu abarikibhuaghe. Mubhubhaha bhwa rehema j'hiake, atupelili kuhogoleka kabhale kwa bhujasiri bhwa urithi kup'etela bhufufuo bhwa Yesu Kristu mu bhafu,
4 to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,
kwa bhurithi bhwa bhubeli kuj'hangamila, bhwibeta kuj'halepi nibhuchafu bhwala kup'hangika. Bhuhifadhibhu kumbinguni kwa ndabha j'hinu.
5 whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
Kwa bhuweza bhwa K'yara mwilendibhwa kup'hetela imani kwa bhwokovu ambabho bhuj'hele tayari kufunulibhwa munyakati sya mwisho.
6 Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
Muhobholelai e'le ingawaje henu ni lazima kwa muenga kwipeleka huzuni mu majaribu gha Aina mbalimbali.
7 The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
Ej'he, kwa ndabha imani j'hinu j'hbhwesiaghe kujaribibhwa imani ambaj'ha j'ha thamani kuliko dhahabu, ambaj'ho j'hij'hagha mu muoto ambhabho ta j'hijaribu imani j'hinu. Ej'he j'hitokela ili imani j'hinu j'hibhwesiaghe kuhogola sifa bhutukufu ni heshima mubhufunuo bhwa Yesu. Kristu.
8 Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
Mumbuene dumu muene, lakini mun'ganili. Mukambona lepi henu, lakini mwikiera lwa muene na muhobhwiki muni kwa furaha ambaj'ho 'himemili bhutukufu.
9 while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
Henu mwij'hambelela mwibhene matokeo gha imani j'hinu bhokovu bhwa nafsi syinu.
10 There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
Manabii bhalondili ni kuk'hota kwa makini kuhusu bhwokovu obho, kuhusu neema ambaj'ho ngaj'hij'he j'ha muenga.
11 They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.
Bhalondili kumanya ndo aina gani j'ha bhwokovu ngabhubudili. Bhalondili pia kumanya ni muda gani roho ghwa Kristu j'ha aj'hele mugati mwabhene aj'hele ilongela kiki nabhu. E'j'he j'haj'hele jbiomela wakati ikabhajobhela mapema kuhusu malombosi gha Kristu ni bhutukufu ambabho ngaumfwatili.
12 To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.
J'hafunulibhu kwa manabii kuj'ha bhaj'hele bhakaghatumikila mambo agha na sio kwa ndabha j'ha bhene, bali kwa ndabha j'hinu- masimulizi gha mambo agha kup'hetela bhala bhabhileta injili kwa muenga kwa nj'hela j'ha Roho N'takatifu j'heatumibhu kuh'omela kumbinguni, mambo ambagho hata malaika bhinyonywa kufunulibhwa kuake.
13 Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
Henu mfungai misana ghya akili syinu. Mujhiaghe bhatulivu mu fikra syinu. Muj'hieg`ae ni bhusisya nkamilifu mu neema ambaj'ho j'hibeta kuletibhwa kwa j'homu wakati bhwa kufunuliwa kwa Yesu Kristu.
14 And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,
Kama bhana bhatiifu msifungibhu mwibhene ni tamaa ambasyo mwasifwatili bhwakati mdutili bhufahamu.
15 but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
Lakini kama vile j'haabhakutili kya aj'hele ntakatifu namu, pia muj'hiaghe bhatakatifu mu tabia j'hinu j'hioha maishani.
16 Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy."
Kwa kuj'ha j'hijhandikibhu, '“Mj'hiaghe bhatakatifu, kwa ndabha nene ne ntakatifu”.
17 And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
Na kama mwikuta “tata” j'hola j'hihukumu kwa haki kul'engana ni mbombo j'ha kila munu, kunyenyekela.
18 knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,
Mumanyili kuj'ha j'haj'hedumu, kwa fedha au dhahabu - fenu fyafijhonangika - ambafyo mkombolibhu kuh'omela mu tabia syinu sya bhujinga ambasyo mwamanyili kuh'omela kwa bha tata bhinu.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
Lakini mkombolibhu kwa muasi j'ha litengo lya Kristu, kama j'ha likondoo lyalibelikuj'ha ni hila bhwala bhuifu.
20 He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
Kristu asalibhu kabla j'ha misingi ghya dunia, lakini magono agha gha mwisho, afunulibhu kwa muenga.
21 are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.
Mukankiera k'yara kup'helela muene, ambaj'he ampelili bhutukufu ili kuj'ha imani j'hinu ni bhusisya bhuj'hiaghe kwa k'yara.
22 Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
Mmbombili nafsi syinu kuj'ha kinofu kwa bhutii bhwa bhukweli, kwa dhumuni lya luganu lwa kilongobhi lyalij'hele ni bhunyoofu, Henu mgananai kwa makaghoha kuh'omela mu miteema.
23 For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (aiōn g165)
Mmalili kuhogoleka mara gha bhubhele, si kwa mbeyu j'haj'hiharibika, lakini kuhoma mu mbeyu j'haj'hiyonangeka lepi, kup'helela bhusima bhwa litobhi lya k'yara lyalisiele. (aiōn g165)
24 "All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;
Kwa maana “mibhele ghiogha ndo kama mat'ondo, ni bhutukufu bhwake bhouha ni kama liua lya lit'ondo. Lit'ondo linyauka ni liua libina.
