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 elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion 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, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: 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 begat us again unto a living hope by 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.
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not 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 unto 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 ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations,
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 proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, might be found unto praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 Nkali nkanabhe kwabhonangayo, mmanganyanji nnakwaakulupalilanga nkali nkakwaabhonanga nnainoyo. Kwa nneyo nnakwiinonyelenga kwa kaje numbe kwangatendeka kutalashiywa,
whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 pabha nnapatanga ntapulo gwa mitima jenunji na shitumbililwe nngulupai jenunji.
receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
10 Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhashinkuloleyanga na kagulila ga gwene ntapulogo, gubhalondolenje ga mboka jipinga kunng'ishilanga mmanganya.
Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto 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 what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should 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 whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Kwa nneyo, bhai, mwishimilikanje na nsheyanje. Nnolelanje nema jinkupinga poshelanga pushibhaishe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Nkundanje ga a Nnungu, nnakaguyanje kutenda yangali ya mmbone imwatendangaga bhukala pumwalinginji mabhelu.
as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] your ignorance:
15 Ikabhe malinga bhayene bhanshemilenje shibhali bha ukonjelo, nnapinjikwanga mmanganje mma ukonjelo.
but like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
16 Pabha ishijandikwa, “Mmanganje mma ukonjelo, pabha nne najwa ukonjelo.”
because it is written, Ye shall 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.
And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in 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 ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner 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 a lamb without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:
20 Bhenebho bhashinkuagulwa na a Nnungu kutandubhila bhukala, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, ikabheje kuyaka ya kumpelo ino gubhalangwilwe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the 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, which 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 ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the 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 begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (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 as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
