1 Petro 2
1 Henu, mubhekai palubhafu bhuovu bhuoha, bhusiobhi, bhunafiki, bhuifu ni kashfa.
Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
2 Kama bhana bhadebe, mnyonyuaghe maziwa manofu gha kiroho, ili kuj'ha mubhwesiaghe kuk'hola mugati mwu bhokovu,
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 Kama mmbonjili kuj'ha Bwana ndo mwema.
If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Muhidai kwa muene j'haaj'hele liganga hai lyalitema ambalyo libelekelibhu ni bhanu, lakini e'lu lisalibhu ni k'yara ni lya thamani kwa muene.
To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Muenga pia ndo kama maganga ghaghaj'hele hai ghaghijengibhwa panani kuj'ha nyumba j'ha kiroho, ili kuj'ha bhukuhani ambabho bhwih'omesya dhabihu sya kiroho syasiyetek'helibhwa kwa k'yara kup'hetela Yesu Kristu.
You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Lyandiku lijobha naha, Mlangai nibhekhili mu sayuni liganga lya palubhafu, kuu na lyalisalibhu ni lya thamani. J'hej'hioha j'haikiera kwa muene ibetadumu kubhona soni”.
Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Henu litengo lyinu kwa muenga j'ha mwikiera. Lakini, “liganga lyalilelibhu ni bhajenzi, E'le lij'hele liganga lik'holo lya palubhafu”-
To you therefore which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 ni, “liganga lya kwikungufula ni mwamba bhwa kwikungufula”. Bhene bhikwikungufula, bhabhakalibela lilobhi, kwa lela ambalyo pia bhasalibhu,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.
9 Lakini muenga ndo lukholo lwalusalibhu, bhukuhani bhwa kifalme, taifa takatifu, bhanu bha miliki j'ha k'yara, ili kwamba mubhwesiagha kutangasya matendo gha ajabu nu j'hola j'ha abhakatili mu ngisi kuhida kwa muenga mu nuru j'hiake j'ha ajabu.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Muenga kwanza mwaj'helepi bhanu, lakini henu mwenga ndo bhanu bha k'yara. Muenga mwaj'hembelili lepi rehema, Lakini henu mj'hambelili rehema.
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Bhapendwa, nibhakhutili kama bhahesya ni bhazururaji kwij'hima kuh'oma mu tamaa sibhibhi sya sambi ambasyo sikhomana vita ni roho syinu.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Mwilondeka kuj'ha ni tabia j'hinofu kati j'ha mataifa, ili kuj'ha kama bhibeta kujobha kama mmbombili maovu, bhibeta kusilola mbombo syinu sinofu ni kunsifu k'yara mu ligono lya kuhida kwa muene.
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Mukieragha kila mamlaka gha mwanadamu kwa ndabha j'ha Bwana, ikaj'hiaghe mfalme kama m'mbaha,
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 ikaj'hiaghe bhatawala bhabhatumibhu kubhaadhibu bhabhomba mabhibhi ni kubhasifu bhala bhabhibhomba manofu.
Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 Kwa kuj'ha ndo mapenzi gha k'yara, kuj'ha kwa kubhomba manofu mwigudamisya malongesi gha kipuuzi gha bhanu bhapumbafu.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 Kama bhanu huru, msiutumili bhuhuru bhwinu kama kifuniku kwa maovu bali muj'hiaghe kama bhatumishi bha k'yara.
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Mubhaheshimu muaghe bhanu bhoha. Mubhaganai bhalongobhinu. Muntilayi k'yara. Munheshimuaghe mfalme.
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Bhatumwa mutiayi bha bwana bhinu, kwa lutengo luoha, siyo tu bwana bhabhaj'hele bhanofu ni bhapole, lakini pia ni bhaovu.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.
19 Kwa kuj'ha ni sifa kama j'hia ghbeta kuvumilila maumivu bhwakati ghwiteseka pasipo haki kwa ndabha j'ha dhamiri j'hiake kwa K'yara.
For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 Ndo faida gani j'ha ij'hele kama mwidumu kubhomba sambi kisha muj'hendelalaghe kutobhibhwa? Lakini kama mmbombili manofu na ndipo mwilolombosibhwa kwa kuhukumibhwa, Ej'he ndo sifa j'hinofu kwa K'yara.
For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Kwa e'le mwakutibhu, kwa ndabha Kristu pia atesibhu kwa ndabha j'hinu kukonga gha ak'hatili.
For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Muene abhombi lepi dhambi bhwala bhwabhonekana lepi bhudanganyifu bhobhuoha bhola kwa muene.
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Wakati muene ilighibhwa, aghomwisilepi malighu, bhoatesibhu, abhatisisye lepi bali akih'omisi muene kwa j'haihukumu kwa haki.
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
24 Muene ap'henelili dhambi syitu mu m'bele bhwake mu lib'ehe, ili tusibhwi ni ni sehemu kabhele mu dhambi, ni kuj'ha tutamaghe kwa ndabha j'ha haki. Kwa kutobhibhwa kwa muene muenga muponili.
Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 Mwebhoha mwa mutangeghe kama n'gosi j'heaj'haghili, lakini henu muk'herebhwiki kwa mchungaji na mlinzi ghwa roho syinu.
For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
