1 Petelo 1
1 Petelo, Mitumi wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kua kila nzila nia usambailo, kua iholanigwa, naiakoli ku Ponto ihii, Kugalatia, Kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
2 Kunsoko auhugu wang'wi Tunda. Tata, kua kogigwa nung'waung'welu, kikulyo lang'wa Yesu Kilisto, nuku sansangilwa Isakami akwe, Ukende utule kitalanyu, nupolo wanyu wongeeleke.
According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
3 Itunda Tata wa Mukulu witu Yesu Kilisto akembetwe Mukulu nuaupegwa wakwe nuanakanda, au kupee kutugwa upya, kuugimya nuusali kukiila uuki wang'wa Yesu Kilisto kuhega muashi,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 usali nishaukulimansila, shaukutula nikisoita hangi shaukukepa uikilwe kilunde kunsoko anyu.
Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Kuuhumi wang'wi Tunda mukusungigwa kukiila uhuili nuuguniki uo nunoneigwe kukunukulwa numatungo ampelo.
Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Lumbiili kua ili, atizemulita kinyauwai itungili. Kitalanyu mumageng'wa aya.
Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
7 Iyi ngi kunsoko uhuili wanyu uhume kugeng'wa, uhuili uo nukite insao kukila idhahabu iyo niliimila mumoto nigema uhuili witu. Iyi ipumila kunsoko uhuili witu uhumi kutuga intendo ninza, ukulu nikulyo nila muuki nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto.
That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Shamumuine kunu mumuloilwe, shamumuine itungili kunu muhuie kutalakue hangi mukite ulumbi nukilinkie, nukua ulumbi nuizuig'we nuukulu nuakigulu.
Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
9 Itungili mukusingiilya impelo au huili wanyu, uguniki wa nkolo yanyu.
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Ianyakidagu akuduma, nukukolya uulya nua uguniki uwu, kuukende nauzetula kitalanyu.
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
11 Akaduma kulinga izezewiule uuguniki uu nauziziza. Akaduma hangi kulinga matungo ki ung'waung'welu wang'wa Kilisto nukoli mitalao aukuligitya ntuninienso. Ili ailupumila matungo naizawazeaila ung'wandyo kina uagigwi wang'wa Kilisto nuukulu nuuze mutyata.
Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
12 Ikakunukulwa kuanyakidagu kuza aitumila munkani zizi, hangi singa kunsoko itu, ao mahumo na nkani izi kukiila ao naialetile ulukani lang'wa Kilisto kitalanyu kunzila ang'wa ng'waung'welu nautumilwe kupuma kigulu, inkani izi ingi ataiamalaika akulowa kukunukulwa kitalakwe.
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
13 Kululo tungi ilino niamahala anyu, mutule miapolo mumasigo anyu, mutula nuugimya nuukendo uo nauletilwa kitalanyu imatungo nakukunukuilwa u Yesu Kilisto.
Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
14 Anga iang'enya niakete ikilyo, muleke kutungwa ni nsula izo nai mutyatile imatungo naimukili miagila imahala.
As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
15 Kululo anga naimilangilwe nuyu numuza, nunye, mutule miaza, ni ntendo yanyu yihi muikali.
But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
16 Kunsoko yandikilwe, mutule miaza, kunsoko unene ni muza.
Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
17 Ang'wi mukitanga “Tata” uyu nuilamula itai kuitumi wa kila umuntu, itumile imatungo na muhinzo ako muuza.
And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
18 Mulingile kina singa ai mpia ang'wi dhahabu, maintu nigazika ayo nimugunilwe kupuma muntendo yanyu nia upugu, izo naimimanyisilye kupuma kua tata anyu.
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
19 Kululo mugunilwe nasakami iyi ni kulyo lang'wa Kilisto, anga na nkolo ningila uwilu ni bado.
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
20 Ukilisto aukoli ka nu ng'wandyo wa unkuloigulu aukili, ingi gwa itungili imahiku aya nampelo wakunukulwa kitalanyu.
Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
21 Mumuhuie Itunda kukiila ng'wenso, ni Tunda aumutyatile kupuma kuashi hangi naumupee ukulu kina uhuili wanyu nugimya wanyu utule kung'wi Tunda.
Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Mitumile inkolo yanyu kutula nzelu kua ugombi nua tai iyo, kunsoko au lowi nuakinyandugu nuugoloki, kululo ilowi kungulu kupuma munkolo yanyu.
Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
23 Malelwa kulukangala laka biili, singa kumbeu nigazika, ingi kupuma kumbeu nisinga igazika, kukiila upanga nulukani lang'wi Tunda nulusagiie. (aiōn g165)
Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Kunsoko, imiili ihi anga imatutu nuukulu wakwe anga iua niti tutu. Itutu linyala iua ligwiza.
For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
