1 Peteru 1
1 Neni Peteru, ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu, nankuwalembera mwenga wantu yawasyagulitwi na Mlungu Tati, wantu yampalanganyikiti na kulikala gambira watugira isi aku Pontu na Galatiya na Kapadokiya na Asiya na Bituniya.
Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers who are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia,
2 Mlungu Tati kawasyaguliti mwenga kulawirana na ntambu yakafira mweni, na mpungwa kwa Rohu, mpati kumjimira Yesu Kristu na kumishirwa kwa mwazi gwakuwi. Manemu na ponga gavuwa gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, ---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
3 Tumkwisi Mlungu na Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu! Kwa lusungu lwakuwi likulu katupanana twenga ukomu wa syayi kwa kumzyukisiya Yesu Kristu. Katupanana litumbiru lyanakaka,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 su twankulolera uhala wa matekeleru ga Mlungu, matekeleru yagawola ndiri na yagahera uhakata na galii yaganyala ndiri. Mlungu kawatulira kumpindi matekeleru aga.
to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Na mwenga mlolerwa weri na makakala ga Mlungu kwa njira ya njimiru toziya ya ulopoziya yauwera kala kugubutulwa mumashaka ga upeleru.
who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Munemeleri mushitwatira ashi, paiwera vinu kwa shipindi shididini hamfiruwi kuhinginiki toziya ya majeru ga ntambu yingiyingi yamtabika.
In which ye rejoice, tho' now for a little while, if need be, ye are grieved through various trials.
7 Majeru aga lengu lyakuwi ndo kulanguziya nakaka njimiru yenu, yaiwera na mana nentu kuliku zahabu yeni tembera ata payiwora ijerisiwa kwa motu. Toziya ayi mwenga hampati uzyumi na ligoya na ukwisa, lishaka lilii Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be revealed:
8 Mwenga mwankumfira yomberi tembera mumwoniti ndiri, na mumjimira tembera mumwona ndiri vinu. Su munemelera kwa ukwisa yawutakulika ndiri,
whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,
9 toziya mwankuwanka ulopoziya wa rohu zyenu, wawuwera lengu lya njimiru yenu.
even the salvation of your souls:
10 Wambuyi wa Mlungu yawatungiti kuusu manemu geni hagaweri ga nakaka kwa mwenga, wasakuliti na kukosiya kosiya kuusu ulopoziya awu,
concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it:
11 womberi wafiriti kushimana shipindi na ntambu yashiwera, shipindi pakatakuliti Rohu gwa Kristu yakaweriti mngati mwawu, pakatunga kuusu ntabika hayimpati Kristu na ukwisa yawuwiza.
searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them:
12 Mlungu kawagubuturiti wambuyi wakuwi kuwera ujumbi ulii yawaubweriti, walibweleriti ndiri weni kumbiti wawabweleriti mwenga Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakatumitwi kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, lihengu ali liwera ndiri na mota yawu weni kumbiti kwajili ya mwenga. Ata wantumintumi wa kumpindi mewafiri kuvimana vitwatira avi.
to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Su muweri kala nakamu na kulikala masu. Mlituli litumbiru lyenu lyoseri mumanemu galii hampananwi shipindi Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and stedfastly hope for the grace to be conferred upon you at the appearing of Jesus Christ;
14 Gambira wana wa Mlungu yawajimira, namujimira nakamu kufata kayi matamata zidoda zyamuweriti nazu pamuwumaniti ndiri unakaka wa Mlungu.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 Kumbiti yomberi yakawashemiti ndo mnanagala, su mwenga muweri wananagala muvyoseri vyamutenda.
but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,
16 Toziya Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Muweri wananagala toziya neni ndo mnanagala.”
Be ye holy, for I am holy.
17 Pamumkanda Mlungu, mwenga mumshema Tati. Su muvimani kuwera yomberi kamtoza kila yumu kulawirana na matendu gakuwi pota kubagula, mwendereyi kumjimira Mlungu pamulikala gambira wahenga pasipanu.
And if ye call upon the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Toziya muvimana kuwera mwenga mlopoziwitwi mumgenderanu gwenu yagufaa ndiri yagumuwankiti kulawa kwa wazewi wenu. Kumbiti mlopoziwiti ndiri kwa vintu vyaviharabika, kwa mpiya ama zahabu,
knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain conversation learned by tradition from your fathers, not with corruptible things, as silver and gold;
19 kumbiti kwa mwazi gwa mana nentu gwa Kristu, yakaweriti gambira mwana kondolu yakahera shilema ama lidowa.
but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Yomberi kasyagulitwi na Mlungu pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu, kumbiti kagubutulitwi mumashaka aga ga upeleru toziya ya mwenga.
who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,
21 Kwa njira yakuwi mwenga mwankumjimira Mlungu yakamzyukisiyiti na kumpanana ukwisa, su njimiru yenu na litumbiru lyenu viwera kwa Mlungu.
who through Him trust in God that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be fixed in God.
22 Vinu mwenga mulipunga maweni kwa kuujimira unakaka, su mwenga muwafira nakaka wayenu pota na ufyangu, su mulifiri nakamu kwa moyu gwoseri.
Having therefore purified your souls by obedience to the truth, through the Spirit, to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Toziya mpananitwi ukomu wa syayi, ulii yawulawiti ndiri mumbeyu yayiharabika, kumbiti kulawa mumbeyu yayiharabika ndiri kwa njira ya ujumbi wa Mlungu yawuwera ukomu na wa mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Kila muntu kalifana na mahamba, na ukwisa wakuwi woseri ulifana na uluwa wa mahamba. Mahamba ganyala, na uluwa utuluka.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass: the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away;
