1 Peteru 2
1 Su muleki ukondola woseri na upayira na ufyangu na weya na kila ntambu zya kutakulirana madoda.
Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speaking;
2 Gambira wana wanonu ntambu yawafira maweri, mfiruwa kuwera na mata ga maweri geni ga shirohu, su kwa aga mpati kukula muulopoziya wenu.
as newborn babes, earnestly desire the unadulterated milk of the word, that you may grow by it.
3 Vinu mwenga muvimana kuwera Mtuwa ndo muheri.
Because, indeed, you have tasted that the Lord is good;
4 Su mumgenderi Mtuwa, libuwi lya ukomu lyalilemitwi na wantu, kumbiti kulongolu kwa Mlungu ndo libuwi lyalisyagulitwi na lya mana nentu.
to whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious;
5 Na mwenga vulaa, gambira mabuwi yagawera makomu, munyawiwa muweri numba ya shirohu kweni aku hamtenderi ntambu mtambika gwa shirohu pakalaviya tambiku zya shirohu zyazijimirwa na Mlungu kupitira Yesu Kristu.
you, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual temple, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, most acceptable to God, through Jesus Christ.
6 Toziya Mumalembu Mananagala galembitwi, “Guloli, nankutula libuwi aku Sayuni, libuwi lya lyanjiru lya mupembi lyalisyagulitwi na lya mana nentu, na muntu yoseri yakamjimira yomberi hapeni kasoniziwi.”
Wherefore, it is contained in the scripture, "Behold I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: whoever trusts in it, shall not be ashamed."
7 Kwa mwenga yamujimira, libuwi ali lyana mana nentu. Kumbiti kwa walii yawajimira ndiri, Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa numba, liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana kuliku goseri,”
To you, then, who trust, it is precious; but to unbelieving-- a stone which the builders rejected, which has become the head of the corner--
8 kayi galonga, “Libuwi ali ndo wantu hawalikwali, litalawu haliwatendi womberi waguwi.” Womberi walikwala toziya wajimira ndiri ujumbi wa Mlungu, na hangu ndo ntambu yawapangiwitwi kwanjira kwanja.
a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. Those who stumble at the word, are disobedient unbelievers, to which, therefore, they were appointed:
9 Kumbiti mwenga ndo lukolu lwalusyagulwa na utambika wa shifalumi na shipinga sha wantu wananagala na wantu wakuwi Mlungu, yamushemitwi kubwera matendu makulu gakulikangasha ga Mlungu, yakawashemiti kulawa muluwindu na kuwayingiziya muulangala wakuwi wa kulikangasha.
but you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people; that you should declare the perfections of him who has called you from darkness into his marvelous light:
10 Shipindi shimu, mwenga muwera ndiri wantu wa Mlungu, kumbiti vinu mwenga muwera wantu wakuwi, shipindi shimu muwoneritwi ndiri lusungu na Mlungu, kumbiti vinu muwonerwa lusungu.
who formerly were not a people, but now are a people of God; who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Waganja wangu, nuwahiga nentu mwenga gambira wahenga na yawapita pasipanu! Muleki matamata zidoda zyazisingana na rohu zyenu.
Beloved, I beseech you, as sojourners and travelers, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
12 Mfiruwa kuwera na mgenderanu guherepa nentu pakati pa wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu su ata pawawatakulira mtenda madoda wawezi kugamana matendu genu maheri, su wamkwisi Mlungu lishaka lya kwiza kuwatoza wantu.
Have your behavior comely, among the Gentiles, that, whereas, they speak against you, as evil doers, having beheld your good works, they may glorify God, in the day of visitation.
13 Su muwajimiri walongoziya woseri wa wantu toziya ya Mtuwa, ujimira kwa mfalumi yakaweriti mkolamlima mkulu,
Be subject, therefore, to every human establishment for the Lord's sake; whether to the king, as supreme;
14 ama ujimira kwa walongoziya wa mikowa, weni yawasyagulitwi nayomberi kuwatoza yawatenda madoda na kuwazyuma yawatenda gaherepa.
or to governor, as those sent by him for the punishment, indeed, of evil doers; but for the praise of them who do good.
15 Toziya Mlungu kankufira mwenga kwa matendu genu maheri gamtenda, muwanyamaliziyi wantu wazigizigi yawahera mahala.
For so is the will of God, that, by doing good, you put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Mulikali gambira wantu walekeru, kumbiti namuwutendera ulekeru wenu kuwufifa ukondola, kumbiti mulikali gambira wantumintumi wa Mlungu.
Live as freemen, yet do not use your freedom as a covering of wickedness; but as the servants of God.
17 Muwapanani ligoya wantu woseri. Muwafiri walongu wenu waumini na mmupanani ligoya Mlungu. Mmupanani ligoya mfalumi.
Treat all men with respect: love the brotherhood: fear God: honor the king.
18 Mwenga wantumintumi wa ukaya, muwajimiri watuwa wenu kwa ligoya lyoseri, yawawera waheri na yawawera wapoli, muwajimiri ata walii yawakalaziya.
Let household servants be subject to their masters, with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 Toziya handa muhepelera kutama kwa ntabiku yamfiruwa ndiri toziya muvimana handa Mlungu kafira hangu, su Mlungu hakawatuli weri.
For this is acceptable, if any one, from conscience of God, sustain sorrows, suffering unjustly.
20 Hamupati shishi pamuhepelera makomangu gamfiruwa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenda? Kumbiti handa pamuhepelera ntabiku ata paiweri mtenda maheri, Mlungu hakafiriziwi na mwenga.
But what praise is due, if, when you commit faults and are buffeted, you bear it patiently? Yet if, when you do well, and suffer, you bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Aga ndo gamshemiritwi, Kristu mweni katabikiti toziya ya mwenga, na kawalekerani mfanu, su mtendi ntambu yakatenditi mweni.
Besides, to this you were called; for even Christ suffered for us, leaving us a pattern, that you should follow his footsteps;
22 Yomberi katenditi ndiri vidoda, ama katakuliti ndiri upayira woseri.
who did not sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
23 Pawamwigiliti yomberi kawankula ndiri kwa kwigila, pakapatiti ntabiku yomberi kalaviyiti ndiri vitiriziwu, su kagatuliti matumbiru gakuwi kwa Mlungu, mtoza gwa teratera.
who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously--
24 Yomberi mweni kavipapiti vidoda vyetu munshimba mwakuwi pakapingikitwi palupingika, su tuleki kutenda vidoda na kulikala makaliru gagamfiriziya Mlungu, na kwa vironda vyakuwi mwenga mponiziwitwi.
who himself bore away our sins in his own body, on the tree; that we, being freed from sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes you are healed.
25 Mwenga muweriti gambira wakondolu yawaweriti wagamira, kumbiti vinu mumuwuyira Mlolera na yakawulolera ukomu wenu.
For you were as sheep going astray, but are now returned to the Shepherd, and Overseer of your souls.
