1 Peter 1
1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers who are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia,
Njame Petulo, musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu. Ndalembenga iyi kalata kuli njamwe mwasalwa ne Lesa mulekalangeti bensu mubimpansha byaku Ponto, ne ku Galatiya, neku Kapadokiya, neku Asiya kayi neku Bituniya.
2 Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, ---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
Kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Bata kwesula kufuminowa kumatatikilo mwalasalwa kayi mwalaswepeshewa ne Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti mube beshikunyumfwila Yesu Klistu, mwalasukwa ne milopa yakendi. Lesa amunyumfwile nkumbo ne kumupa lumuno lwesula.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Tulumbe Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Pakwinga mukufula kwa nkumbo shakendi, walatupa buyumi bwa linolino pakumupundusha Yesu Klistu kubafu. Neco tukute lushomo lwayuma nta,
4 to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
lwakwambeti nitukatambule colwe cabintu byaina Lesa mbyabambila bantu bakendi kwilu, uko nkweshi bikabule kubola, nambi kwipishiwa, nambi kushimangana.
5 who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Ibi bintu nibyenu, kupitila mulushomo, byabambwa cena mungofu sha Lesa kwambeti mukatambule lupulusho ulo lulipepi kuboneka pacindi camapwililisho.
6 In which ye rejoice, tho' now for a little while, if need be, ye are grieved through various trials.
Ibi kabimukondweleshani nambi pacino cindi mucane mapensho ne kwelekeshewa kwapusanapusana.
7 That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be revealed:
Ibi ni bishikubonesheti lushomo lwenu ni lwancinencine. Nambi golide ukute konongeka ukute kwengeka nemulilo, nalo lushomo lwenu ulo lwapita golide, lwela kwelekeshewa kwambeti lucanike kuba lwancinencine. Mwenseco nimukatambule kulumbwa, ne bulemu pabusuba mbweshakayubuluke Yesu Klistu.
8 whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,
Nambi ntamuna mumubonapo, nsombi mumusuni. Nambi pacindi cino nkamulamubononga mwamushoma, kayi mwakondwa citambiki.
9 even the salvation of your souls:
Pakwinseco mulatambulunga cilambo ca lushomo, uku ekwambeti lupulusho lwenu.
10 concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it:
Bashinshimi balambapo sha cilambo calupulusho ndweshimukatambule, balo balalangaula mwabuya lupulusho ulu, Lesa ndwetamupe.
11 searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them:
Mushimu wa Klistu walikuba mulyendibo walikwambila limo sha byeshikubaba Klistu mbyeshakanyumfwe, kayi ne bulemu mbweshakabe nabo panyuma pakendi. Bashinshimi balikuyanda kwishiba cindi kayi ne moti bikenshikilenga.
12 to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Lesa walabayubulwila kwambeti ncito njobalikwinsa nkayalikuba yakuyanda bene, nsombi balikwinshilamwe, mpobalikwamba bintu ibyo mbyemulanyumfunga kuli batumwa bakendi balakambaukunga Mulumbe Waina kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa walafuma kwilu. Ibi ebintu nabo bangelo mbyebalikuyanda kwishiba.
13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and stedfastly hope for the grace to be conferred upon you at the appearing of Jesus Christ;
Eco cakendi myoyo yenu ibe yalibambila. Kamubani babangamana. Bikani lushomo lwenu lonse pa colwe nceshi mukapewe Yesu Klistu akayubuluka.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Nyumfwilani Lesa, kamutaleka buyumi bwenu kubumbwa nelunkumbwa ndomwalikukute kamutana mwishiba Klistu.
15 but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,
Mbuli Lesa ncali waswepa uyo walamukuwa, nenjamwe kamubani baswepa mumikalilo yenu yonse.
16 Be ye holy, for I am holy.
Mabala alambangeti, “Kamubani baswepa myoyo mbuli Ame ncendaswepa moyo.”
17 And if ye call upon the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Lesa liya lusalululo. Ukute kombolosha uliyense kwelana ne micito yakendi. Mwambangeti, Ta pakupaila, mupeni bulemu cindi conse ncomulicili panshi pano.
18 knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain conversation learned by tradition from your fathers, not with corruptible things, as silver and gold;
Mucishi cena ncalasebenshesha pakumulubula ku mikalilo yaipa njemwalatambula kufumina ku bamashali benu. Liya kumulubula ne mali asa akute konongeka, silifa nambi golide sobwe.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Walamulubula ne milopa ya Klistu yamulo wadula, uyo walalibengeti M wanambelele wabula cibala nambi bulema.
20 who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,
Lesa walamusalilalimo cishi capanshi citana cilengwa, nomba lamuyubululu mumasuba ano akupwililisha cebo canjamwe.
21 who through Him trust in God that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be fixed in God.
Kupitila mulyendiye, mulashomonga Lesa walamupundusha kubafu, nekumupa bulemu. Neco lushomo ne kupembelela kwenu bili pali Lesa.
22 Having therefore purified your souls by obedience to the truth, through the Spirit, to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Mulaswepeshe myoyo yenu pakunyumfwa cancinencine, kwambeti munyumfwanenga ne baklistu banenu. Ecebo cakendi mwela kusunana nemoyo wonse.
23 being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga mulenshi kusemwa tubili, buyumi bwakendi nkabulafumunga mu mbuto ya mushali ukute kufwa sobwe, nsombi mu mbuto itafu, iyo mbuto ni maswi a Lesa, maswi abuyumi eshakabule kupwa. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass: the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away;
Mbuli Mabala a Lesa, alambangeti, “Bantu bonse balyeti mila, bulemu bwabo bulyeti maluba amucisuwa. Mila ikute kuyuma, nawo maluba akute kunyana.
