1 Peter 2
1 Therefore laying aside all malice, and all deceit, and hypocrisies,
Ecebo cakendi tayani byaipa byonse, kubepa, kulibonesha, ne munyono kayi ne minyansho.
2 and envies, and all evil-speakings, as new-born babes desire that rational milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby:
Mbuli mwana lasemwa calinolino ncakute kulilila mukupa wabanyina, nenjamwe kamubanga ne nkunukwa ya mukupa wancinencine wakumushimu, kwambeti umukulishe nekumushikisha kukupuluka.
3 for ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious;
Mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Mulatelele nkumbo sha Mwami.”
4 to whom coming as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen of God,
Lino kamwisani kuli Mwami, libwe lyabuyumi ndyobalakana bantu, nsombi Lesa walalisala kuba lya mulo wadula.
5 and precious, ye also are built up as living stones, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Kamwisani mube mabwe abuyumi ngoti asebenseshe Lesa kwibaka ng'anda yakendi, umo mweti musebenselengeti beshimilumbo baswepa balatwalanga milumbo njalayandanga Lesa kupitila muli Yesu Klistu.
6 Whence also it is said in scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, choice and precious: and he that confideth on it shall not be ashamed.
Pakwinga mu Mabala mwalembweti, “Ndasala libwe lya mulo wadula. Ndalibiki kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda mu Siyoni. Waushoma nteti akanyufwe nsoni.”
7 To you therefore who believe it is precious: but to them that are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner,
Lino kuli omwashoma, nendi ni wamulo wadula. Nomba kuli babula lushomo, maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe beshikwibaka ng'anda ndyobalakana, elyalasanduka kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda.”
8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. These stumble at the word through unbelief, unto which also they were appointed.
Kayi maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Lyopeleli e libwe lyeti bakalipuntengaponga bantu, libwe lyacandanshi, lyeti likabawishenga bantu.” Ee balalipuntunga pakwinga balakananga maswi a Lesa, kayi ici ecalikuyandika kulyendibo.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should declare the glories of Him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Nomba njamwe mukowa wasalwa, beshimilumbo bacami, mushobo waswepa, bantu bakendi Lesa. Walamusala kwambeti mukakambauke ncito sha ngofu sha uyo walamukuweti mufume mumushinshe kuya kwingila mukumunika kwakendi kwakankamanisha.
10 who heretofore were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Kaindi nkamwalikuba bantu bakendi Lesa, nsombi lino njamwe bakendi. Kaindi nkamwalikwishiba sha Lesa, nomba lino mulatambulu nkumbo shakendi.
11 Dearly beloved, I exhort you as strangers and sojourners here, to abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul:
Mobanse bame, pakwinga njamwe bensu mucishici, ndamusengenga kamutakonkelanga lunkumbwa lwa mibili lukute kulwana nkondo ne buyumi bwenu bwa kumushimu.
12 having a good conversation among the Gentiles; that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may glorify God in the day of their visitation, on account of the good works which they behold in you.
Cendo cenu pakati pa bantu ba kunsa cibe caina, kwambeti nambi balamwambangeti mobeshi kwinsa byaipa, nsombi babona ncito shenu shaina, bakakonshe kulemekesha Lesa pabusuba mbweshakese.
13 Be subject therefore to every human form of government, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to a king as supreme;
Cebo ca Mwami Lesa, nyumfwilani bamakulene bakute ngofu shabwendeleshi. Mbuli usa Mwami mukulene ukute ngofu shinene shabwendeleshi munyumfwileni, pakwinga ukute bwendeleshi pa bami nabambi bonse,
14 or to governors as persons sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and the praise of them that do well.
na nibendeleshi mbwalasala, naboyo banyumfwileni pakwinga walabatuma kwambeti bapenga cisubulo beshikwinsa byaipa, kayi kulumba abo balenshinga byaina.
15 For so is the will of God, that by your good behaviour ye may silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Pakwinga Lesa layandangeti mupwishe kwamba kwabuluya kwa bantu kupitila mu bintu byaina mbyomulenshinga.
16 as free, and yet not using your liberty as a cloke for wickedness, but as the servants of God.
Ee, kamubani basunguluka, nsombi kusunguluka kwenu kakutabanga kwakufwekelela byaipa, nsombi kamwikalani eti basebenshi ba Lesa.
17 Give due honor to all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Kamulemekanga bantu bonse. Sunani baklistu banenu. Tinani Lesa, kayi neye mwami mukulene usa mumupe bulemu.
18 Ye who are servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and mild, but also to the morose:
Amwe basebenshi, nyumfwilani nekupa bulemu abo bamwingisha ncito, nteko kuli baina moyo bonka sobwe, nsombi nekuli balukanda bonse.
19 for this is an evidence of grace, if any one for conscience towards God endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
Ni cintu caina ulimbikilowa mubyeshikubaba byabula kumwelela pakwinga Lesa nakamupe colwe.
20 For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God.
Niciyani ncondelela kumulumba na balamumunga cebo ca mulandu ngomwensa? Nsombi na mulimbikilowa cebo cakwinsa byaina, ekwambeti mulenshi cintu casuminishiwa ne Lesa.
21 For unto this are ye called; because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps.
Bwikalo bulicisa embwalamukuwila Lesa, ntepasa neye Klistu walanyumfwa byeshikubaba cebo canjamwe, nekumushiyila cilesho kwambeti mukonkelenga myendo yakendi.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Liya kwinsapo bwipishi bulibonse, kayi liya kwambapo byabwepeshi sobwe.
23 who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously.
Mpobalikumutukana liya kubweshela matuka. Mpwalikupenshewa liya kubayoshapo, nsombi byonse walabibika mumakasa a Lesa, momboloshi walulama.
24 Who Himself bare our sins in his own body on the cross, that we being dead to sins, might live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed.
Klistu walalitwika bwipishi bwetu bonse mumubili wakendi palusanda, kwambeti tuleke kwipisha mubuyumi bwetu, nomba pakukonkela bululami tube bayumi. Mwalasengulwa ne mibata yakendi.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now turned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
Mwalikubeti mbelele shataika, nomba lino mulabwelele kuli mwembeshi lamwembelenga ne kumulanga cena.
