1 Petorosi 1
1 Petorosi, mwapositola wa Jesu Kirisite, kuva yedi ve nako, vava kwetwa, mukati kose ka Potiasi, Magalatia, Cappadocia, Asia, ni Bathiania.
PETER, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, to the elect and sojourners, who are dispersed in Pontus and in Galatia, and in Cappadocia, and in Asia, and in Bithynia,
2 Cho kutenda kezivo yokuvusu ye Ireenza Ishetu. Ivali cho kuchenisa ni Luhuwo lo kuzumina ni kwi tilela malaha a Jesu Krisite. Linu chisemo chive ni we, ni kozo yako iyekeze.
to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you.
3 Ke Ireenza ni Esi wa Jesu Krisite a fulyolwe. Muvukando bwe chishemo chakwe, cha tuha ku zwala cihya ke sepo yo kuyola. Ichi chiyolo chi keza kezila yo kuvuka kwa Jesu Krisite kuva fwile.
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,
4 Kono ichi ciyolo chisa maani, kese chive ni vuvi, kete ni chi mane. chivi kilwe inwe kwiwulu.
and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;
5 Mu silelezitwe cha maata a Ireenza che tumero, cho kuhazwa kulivelelwe kuvoneka kumani mani enako.
while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;
6 Mi usangite kuamana nezi, ni kuvavulyo kuswanela kuti nova lizuwi vuvi mu bukabo vushutana shutana.
wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;
7 Uko kulika itumelo yenu, mi kwina vutokwa ahulu kuhita gaunda isinyeha, ni hailikwa mumulilo. Izi zitendehala kuti itumelo iwanike mwi tumbo, ikanya, ni kute kuku bonahaza Jesus Christe.
so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:
8 Kena muvamuvoni, kono mumusaka. Kamumu voni hanu, kono muzumina kwali ni mutavite ni tavo isawambiwa, inkanya ye tavo.
whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,
9 Kono hanu mutambula kwenu bulyo mupuzo we tumelo yenu, kuhazwa kwo luhuwo lwenu.
that ye may receive the recompense of your faith, the life of your souls;
10 Vafolofita vava sakisisi ni kwiza ahulu kuamana zo kuhazwa, kuamaana ni chisemo chese chibe cenu.
that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to you.
11 Chiva sakisisa kwi ziva uzo ni lili ni Luhuwo lwa Krisite haluvali kuwamba kuvali. Inzi ziva pangahali ziva wambirwa havusu kuamaana ni kunyadiswa kwa Christe zitu ze kanya kuzwa aho.
And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.
12 Zive zinveki kuva vopolofita kuti hati vavali kulitusa avo vene, kono enwe. Ichi chi vavali kutenda kuamaana ni zitu zi muva wambilwi kamukwa wo Luhuwo Lujolola, uvatumwa kuzwa kwi wulu. Izi zitu nanga magiloyi alakazwa kuvoniswa.
And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.
13 Cwale mutende muzezo yenu hande. Musiye kukolwa. Muvike isepo yose muchisemo chileta kwi ziveka kwa Jesu Krisite.
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
14 Ha tuli tuvana ve chilila, musiye ku swana itakazo nezina zimuvali kwichilile ni musezi niti.
as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge.
15 Kono iye avamisupi u jolola, inwe, nanwe, mujolole mumaikuto enu wonse.
But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you.
16 Kakuli kuñoletwe, “Mu jolole, kakuli ime ni jolola.”
Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy.
17 Mi hamusupa “Ishetu” iye yenke uyatula zwimwi ni ku sena isovozi kuamana ni mutendo wo mutu, muhinde inako mumusipili ni sabo.
And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear;
18 Mwizi kuti hati kavali ke silivera ni gauda efwa iva muhanzi kuvu holo ye mimitedo imuva lituti kuve ishenu.
since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;
19 Hakuli vulyo, u va hazwa ni malaha avutokwa a Krisite, avali kuswana ni imbelele isena chivata.
but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:
20 Krisite ava saliwa pili ni misumo ye kanda, kono hanu chali zivahalisa kwenu mwinako ya manimani.
who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;
21 Chakwe muzumina kwe Ireenza, ava muvusi kuvafu mi kuvamwi chavaha ikanya kuti itumero yavo ni sepo ive kwe Ireenza.
who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; that your faith and hope might be in God,
22 Muvatendi luhuwo lwenu kujolola choku zumina kwi niti. Ichi chivalikutenda mulelo wo vulikani mwi rato, cwale mulisake ahulu mwi kulo.
while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;
23 Linu mu vanzalwa chihya, isini ketanga ivola, kono che tanga isavoli, muvuhalo ni lizwi lye Ireenza likalilila. (aiōn g165)
like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Ke “nyama yonse iswana sina lyani, ni ikanya yateni yonse iswana nipalisa ya lyani. Lyani lizuma, ni palisa ziwila hasi,
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away;
