who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Mmuhovoge pa ili ndayive lino mwikhi pulika lususuvalo, mungelo inchilipapingi.
You should be overjoyed about this, even if just now, briefly, of necessity, you have been distressed by a variety of trials,
7 Ulwakuva ulwidiko lwinyo lugeliwe, ulwidiko ulwa mana, saluhwanine ni sahabu iyuyiyaga mwu mwoto, umwu lwigele ulwidiko ulwenyo. Iyi yihumile pa lwidiko lwinyo luhole uluginio, iyu yiholile uvu valanche nu ludwado mmbovonekele vwa Yesu uKlisite.
so that the demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
8 Samumbwene umwene ulwakhuva mkumwidika umwene nuluhekelo ulutava luncho veka uluhekelo uludenchiwe vuvalanche.

obtaining for yourselves the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Anyamalago valiko londa nu kwivuncha nu luhala vunonu vwa vupoki uvu, uwa luhungu lukale lwiva lwinyo.
Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently,
11 Valikonda ukhulumanya uvupoki uvulindikhekhi uvuyakave vukwi ncha kange valikolonda kulumanya unsikhi guliku ugwu mepo va Klisite uvi ali gati mumbwene alikhunchuka khekhi na vene. Iyi yilikuhumile unsukhi upwu ali kutala ukuvavula inogwa ya luvavo lwa Klisite nu vuvalanche uvwu vukhuvakongaga.
investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them.
12 Lulikhunekela mwu vanyamalago ukhuta valaku nchivombela imbombo inchi soyi vile ya vene vavo. Lino ulwakhuva yenyo amambo aga ukugendela kuvala avigiga ilivangeli kulwumwe kwu njila ya mepo umbalanche uvya suhiwe kuhumo kukyanya, aga navavasuhwa vinogwa uluvonekela kwu lwene.
It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.
13 Pwu lino mkhunge ifivina ifya luhala lwinyo mve mwiyumilinchage mumasage genyo. Muve na maka agalutilile munduyo ulukwincho kulyumwe unsiki gwa kudinduliwe khwa Yesu Klisite.
Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14 Nda vene avagolofu mlekhe ukhukungiwa muvene nu vunogwe uvulikukonga upwu mwale vuvule amesage.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Nu mwe uvya vilangile vu mbalanche nayumwe muve nchage vavalanche mu ndogendo lwoni ulwa figono fyoni.
but just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your way of life,
16 Ulwa khuva lisimbiwe, “muvenchage vavalanche ulwakuva une nilimbalanche.”
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Ingave mwikhilanga u “'Dada” ula uvi ihiga uvwa yihweli ukhukongana ni mbombo incha munu nu munu guvumbele unsikhi gwa ndugendo lwakho ndi lisima.
Also, since you invoke as Father the One who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourn here in fear,
18 Mlumanyile ukhuta sayale hela apange isahabu, ifinu ifinangike ifyo mupokhiwe ukuhuma khu nyiho nchenyo incha vupe liva incho mwa minyile ukhuhuma kuva dada vinyo.
knowing that it was not with perishable things (silver or gold) that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down by your forefathers,
19 Ulwakuva mupokiwe mnkisa gwa vudwanchiwa ugwa Klisite, nduvu yivile ing'osi iyi luvuvule ingofyo ni elideha.
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a faultless and pure lamb;
20 UKlisite ahalilwe khatale vulu sikhuli ulwuto ifi fya kuvumalilo, ivonesyage kuliumwe.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 Mkhumwidikha uNguluve ukugendela mwumwene, uvi uyu uNguluve anchusinche khuhuma khuvufwe akhapa uvuvalanche ulwidiko lwinyo na maka gavinchage mwa Nguluve.
who through Him are believing into God, who raised Him out from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are into God.
22 Mmekile inumbula nchenyo ukhuva nonu nu ludwado vwa yila ilweli, kulugano lwa kikolo ulugolwikhe, pwu lino mgananage na maka ukhuma munumbula.
Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart,
23 Lino mholiwe ulwavili saku mbeyu iyuyinangikha, yihuma khu mbeyu iyu sayinangika, ukhugendela mbwumi ni limenyu lya Nguluve ilisigile. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Ulwa khuva imivili gyoni gilinda mani, nuvuvalanche vywa mwene woni vulindi lyani. Ilyani likwuma ni livuva ligwa,
For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man's glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord's word endures forever.”
