1 Petili 1
1 Nne a Petili, ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya nng'agulwenje na Atati a Nnungu, bhajeninji nshilambolyo mmutushilenje ku nkoa gwa ku Ponto na ku nkoa gwa ku Galatia na ku Kapadokia na ku Ashia na ku Bhishinia.
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 Atati a Nnungu bhashinkutumbilila kunng'agulanga mmanganya kuumila bhukalago na mwashinkutakaywanga nagwe Mbumu, kupinga mwaakundanje a Yeshu Kilishitu na nkonjeleywanje na minyai jabho. Ngunakunnjujilanga nnjeshewanje mboka na ulele.
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 Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu Atati bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu! Kwa shiya shabho shikulungwa bhashikututenda tupate gumi gwa ambi kwa kwaayuya a Yeshu Kilishitu kukopoka bhakaweje. Bhatupele ngulupai ya kweli,
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 kwa nneyo tunalindilila ulishi gubhaabhishilenje a Nnungu bhandunji bhabho. A Nnungu bhashikummishilanga gwene ulishigo kunnungu na kweneko ukabhola, ukaangabhanika na wala ukajumula.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Yeneyo shiibhe yenunji mmanganya kwa ngulupai nnatamangana muulinda gwa mashili ga a Nnungu mpaka muupatanje ntapulo upinga langulwa kumpelo gwa yaka.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Nng'angalalanje kwa genego, ikabheje kwa malanga gashoko ga nnaino gano, nkaangalala ukoto kwa ligongo lya mboteko ya malinjilo gamagwinji,
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 malinjilo nkupinga nkong'ondelanje ngulupai yenunji. Shaabhu nkali jiangabhanikayo jinalingwa pa moto, na malinga ngulupai jenunji jili ja mana kupunda shaabhu, jinapinjikwa jilingwe jimanyishe gwa mmbone gwakwe. Penepo shinnumbililwanje na kuywa na ishimika lyubha lishibhabhoneshe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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 Nkali nkanabhe kwabhonangayo, mmanganyanji nnakwaakulupalilanga nkali nkakwaabhonanga nnainoyo. Kwa nneyo nnakwiinonyelenga kwa kaje numbe kwangatendeka kutalashiywa,
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 pabha nnapatanga ntapulo gwa mitima jenunji na shitumbililwe nngulupai jenunji.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhashinkuloleyanga na kagulila ga gwene ntapulogo, gubhalondolenje ga mboka jipinga kunng'ishilanga mmanganya.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 Gubhalinjilenje kuloleya malanga na miongwe gugapinga koposhela genego. Yani malanga galugwile Mbumu jwa a Kilishitu aliji nkati jabhonji, alilondola ga mboteko ipinga kwaapata a Kilishitu na ukonjelo upinga kagula gapitaga genego.
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 A Nnungu bhashikwaunukulilanga bhamumanyanje kuti pubhabheleketangaga gene gumpilikenenje mmanganya kukopoka kwa ashintume. Bhene bhannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atumilwe kukopoka kunnungu. Lyene liengolyo likaliji kwa ligongo lyabhonji ashaayene, ikabhe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganya. Genego nkali ashimalaika bha a Nnungu bhatendaga pinganga bhagabhonanje.
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 Kwa nneyo, bhai, mwishimilikanje na nsheyanje. Nnolelanje nema jinkupinga poshelanga pushibhaishe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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 Nkundanje ga a Nnungu, nnakaguyanje kutenda yangali ya mmbone imwatendangaga bhukala pumwalinginji mabhelu.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 Ikabhe malinga bhayene bhanshemilenje shibhali bha ukonjelo, nnapinjikwanga mmanganje mma ukonjelo.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 Pabha ishijandikwa, “Mmanganje mma ukonjelo, pabha nne najwa ukonjelo.”
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Na ibhaga a Nnungu bhunkwashemanga Atati, bhai mmumanyanje kuti bhenebho bhanaukumula bhandu bhowe kwa itendi yabhonji, gwangali kuagulanya. Kwa nneyo ntamangane kwa lipamba lya kwaajogopa a Nnungu kwa mobha genunjiga tama mbuti bhajeninji pa shilambolyo pano.
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 Na mmanganya mmumanyinji kuti nshigombolwanga kukopoka ku gwangali gwa mmbone gwenunji gumwauposhelenje kukopoka kwa ashainabhenunji. Numbe mmangagombolwanga kwa indu iangabhanika, ela na shaabhu,
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 ikabhe kwa minyai ja mmbone ja a Kilishitu, bhaaliji malinga mwana ngondolo jwa mmbone na jwangali ilebho.
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 Bhenebho bhashinkuagulwa na a Nnungu kutandubhila bhukala, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, ikabheje kuyaka ya kumpelo ino gubhalangwilwe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 Kwa ligongo lya bhenebho, nnakwakulupalilanga a Nnungu bhaayushiye bhenebho bhakaweje nikwaapa ukonjelo. Kwa nneyo ngulupai yenunji ibhe kwa a Nnungu.
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 Pabha nnaino, nshikundanga majiganyo ga kweli ga a Yeshu Kilishitu, mmanganya mwiikonjeleyenje mmitima jenunji na kwaapinganga bhandu ajenunji gwangali ya kwilambilila, bhai, mpingananje mpaka mmitima.
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 Pabha nshibhelekwanga gwabhili, nngabha kwa mmbeju yawa, ikabhe kwa mmbeju yangawa, kwa lilobhe lya a Nnungu likwete gumi, litama pitipiti. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Na malinga Majandiko shigakuti bheleketa. “Bhandunji bhowe malinga manyai, na ukonjelo gwakwe gowe na malinga lilubha lya manyai. Manyai ganajumula na malubha ganapakatika.
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
