1 Petro 1
1 Petro ntume ghwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhahesya bha bhutawanyiko, kwa bhateule, mu ponto j'hioha, Galatia, kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia.
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Kutokana ni bhufahamu bhwa K'yara, Tata kwa kutakasibhwa ni Roho Mtakatifu, kwa bhutiifu bhwa Yesu Kristu, ni kwa kunyunyusibhwa muasi bhwake. Neema ij'hieghe kwa j'homu, ni amani j'hinu j'hij'honge sikaghe.
Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.
3 K'yara Tata ghwa Bhwana ghwitu Yesu Kristu abarikibhuaghe. Mubhubhaha bhwa rehema j'hiake, atupelili kuhogoleka kabhale kwa bhujasiri bhwa urithi kup'etela bhufufuo bhwa Yesu Kristu mu bhafu,
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 kwa bhurithi bhwa bhubeli kuj'hangamila, bhwibeta kuj'halepi nibhuchafu bhwala kup'hangika. Bhuhifadhibhu kumbinguni kwa ndabha j'hinu.
And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,
5 Kwa bhuweza bhwa K'yara mwilendibhwa kup'hetela imani kwa bhwokovu ambabho bhuj'hele tayari kufunulibhwa munyakati sya mwisho.
Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.
6 Muhobholelai e'le ingawaje henu ni lazima kwa muenga kwipeleka huzuni mu majaribu gha Aina mbalimbali.
You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,
7 Ej'he, kwa ndabha imani j'hinu j'hbhwesiaghe kujaribibhwa imani ambaj'ha j'ha thamani kuliko dhahabu, ambaj'ho j'hij'hagha mu muoto ambhabho ta j'hijaribu imani j'hinu. Ej'he j'hitokela ili imani j'hinu j'hibhwesiaghe kuhogola sifa bhutukufu ni heshima mubhufunuo bhwa Yesu. Kristu.
So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 Mumbuene dumu muene, lakini mun'ganili. Mukambona lepi henu, lakini mwikiera lwa muene na muhobhwiki muni kwa furaha ambaj'ho 'himemili bhutukufu.
To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:
9 Henu mwij'hambelela mwibhene matokeo gha imani j'hinu bhokovu bhwa nafsi syinu.
For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Manabii bhalondili ni kuk'hota kwa makini kuhusu bhwokovu obho, kuhusu neema ambaj'ho ngaj'hij'he j'ha muenga.
For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;
11 Bhalondili kumanya ndo aina gani j'ha bhwokovu ngabhubudili. Bhalondili pia kumanya ni muda gani roho ghwa Kristu j'ha aj'hele mugati mwabhene aj'hele ilongela kiki nabhu. E'j'he j'haj'hele jbiomela wakati ikabhajobhela mapema kuhusu malombosi gha Kristu ni bhutukufu ambabho ngaumfwatili.
Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.
12 J'hafunulibhu kwa manabii kuj'ha bhaj'hele bhakaghatumikila mambo agha na sio kwa ndabha j'ha bhene, bali kwa ndabha j'hinu- masimulizi gha mambo agha kup'hetela bhala bhabhileta injili kwa muenga kwa nj'hela j'ha Roho N'takatifu j'heatumibhu kuh'omela kumbinguni, mambo ambagho hata malaika bhinyonywa kufunulibhwa kuake.
And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.
13 Henu mfungai misana ghya akili syinu. Mujhiaghe bhatulivu mu fikra syinu. Muj'hieg`ae ni bhusisya nkamilifu mu neema ambaj'ho j'hibeta kuletibhwa kwa j'homu wakati bhwa kufunuliwa kwa Yesu Kristu.
So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Kama bhana bhatiifu msifungibhu mwibhene ni tamaa ambasyo mwasifwatili bhwakati mdutili bhufahamu.
Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:
15 Lakini kama vile j'haabhakutili kya aj'hele ntakatifu namu, pia muj'hiaghe bhatakatifu mu tabia j'hinu j'hioha maishani.
But be holy in every detail of your lives, as he, whose servants you are, is holy;
16 Kwa kuj'ha j'hijhandikibhu, '“Mj'hiaghe bhatakatifu, kwa ndabha nene ne ntakatifu”.
Because it has been said in the Writings, You are to be holy, for I am holy.
17 Na kama mwikuta “tata” j'hola j'hihukumu kwa haki kul'engana ni mbombo j'ha kila munu, kunyenyekela.
And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:
18 Mumanyili kuj'ha j'haj'hedumu, kwa fedha au dhahabu - fenu fyafijhonangika - ambafyo mkombolibhu kuh'omela mu tabia syinu sya bhujinga ambasyo mwamanyili kuh'omela kwa bha tata bhinu.
Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,
19 Lakini mkombolibhu kwa muasi j'ha litengo lya Kristu, kama j'ha likondoo lyalibelikuj'ha ni hila bhwala bhuifu.
But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:
20 Kristu asalibhu kabla j'ha misingi ghya dunia, lakini magono agha gha mwisho, afunulibhu kwa muenga.
Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,
21 Mukankiera k'yara kup'helela muene, ambaj'he ampelili bhutukufu ili kuj'ha imani j'hinu ni bhusisya bhuj'hiaghe kwa k'yara.
Who through him have faith in God who took him up again from the dead into glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Mmbombili nafsi syinu kuj'ha kinofu kwa bhutii bhwa bhukweli, kwa dhumuni lya luganu lwa kilongobhi lyalij'hele ni bhunyoofu, Henu mgananai kwa makaghoha kuh'omela mu miteema.
And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:
23 Mmalili kuhogoleka mara gha bhubhele, si kwa mbeyu j'haj'hiharibika, lakini kuhoma mu mbeyu j'haj'hiyonangeka lepi, kup'helela bhusima bhwa litobhi lya k'yara lyalisiele. (aiōn g165)
Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God. (aiōn g165)
24 Kwa maana “mibhele ghiogha ndo kama mat'ondo, ni bhutukufu bhwake bhouha ni kama liua lya lit'ondo. Lit'ondo linyauka ni liua libina.
For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:
