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 chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
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, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to 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 caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 usali nishaukulimansila, shaukutula nikisoita hangi shaukukepa uikilwe kilunde kunsoko anyu.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, 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 guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Lumbiili kua ili, atizemulita kinyauwai itungili. Kitalanyu mumageng'wa aya.
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
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 genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed—
8 Shamumuine kunu mumuloilwe, shamumuine itungili kunu muhuie kutalakue hangi mukite ulumbi nukilinkie, nukua ulumbi nuizuig'we nuukulu nuakigulu.
whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory—
9 Itungili mukusingiilya impelo au huili wanyu, uguniki wa nkolo yanyu.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ianyakidagu akuduma, nukukolya uulya nua uguniki uwu, kuukende nauzetula kitalanyu.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to 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 for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
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 them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Kululo tungi ilino niamahala anyu, mutule miapolo mumasigo anyu, mutula nuugimya nuukendo uo nauletilwa kitalanyu imatungo nakukunukuilwa u Yesu Kilisto.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 Anga iang'enya niakete ikilyo, muleke kutungwa ni nsula izo nai mutyatile imatungo naimukili miagila imahala.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 Kululo anga naimilangilwe nuyu numuza, nunye, mutule miaza, ni ntendo yanyu yihi muikali.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 Kunsoko yandikilwe, mutule miaza, kunsoko unene ni muza.
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Ang'wi mukitanga “Tata” uyu nuilamula itai kuitumi wa kila umuntu, itumile imatungo na muhinzo ako muuza.
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:
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 redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 Kululo mugunilwe nasakami iyi ni kulyo lang'wa Kilisto, anga na nkolo ningila uwilu ni bado.
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 Ukilisto aukoli ka nu ng'wandyo wa unkuloigulu aukili, ingi gwa itungili imahiku aya nampelo wakunukulwa kitalanyu.
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
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 believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so 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.
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:
23 Malelwa kulukangala laka biili, singa kumbeu nigazika, ingi kupuma kumbeu nisinga igazika, kukiila upanga nulukani lang'wi Tunda nulusagiie. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Kunsoko, imiili ihi anga imatutu nuukulu wakwe anga iua niti tutu. Itutu linyala iua ligwiza.
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
