1 Peteru 2
1 Su muleki ukondola woseri na upayira na ufyangu na weya na kila ntambu zya kutakulirana madoda.
Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,
2 Gambira wana wanonu ntambu yawafira maweri, mfiruwa kuwera na mata ga maweri geni ga shirohu, su kwa aga mpati kukula muulopoziya wenu.
as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,
3 Vinu mwenga muvimana kuwera Mtuwa ndo muheri.
if so be ye did taste that the Lord [is] gracious,
4 Su mumgenderi Mtuwa, libuwi lya ukomu lyalilemitwi na wantu, kumbiti kulongolu kwa Mlungu ndo libuwi lyalisyagulitwi na lya mana nentu.
to whom coming — a living stone — by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, 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.
and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices 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, also, it is contained in the Writing: 'Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;'
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 are believing [is] the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a 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.
and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence — who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, — to which also they were set;
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.
and ye [are] a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous 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 [were] once not a people, and [are] now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.
11 Waganja wangu, nuwahiga nentu mwenga gambira wahenga na yawapita pasipanu! Muleki matamata zidoda zyazisingana na rohu zyenu.
Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that 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.
having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.
13 Su muwajimiri walongoziya woseri wa wantu toziya ya Mtuwa, ujimira kwa mfalumi yakaweriti mkolamlima mkulu,
Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
14 ama ujimira kwa walongoziya wa mikowa, weni yawasyagulitwi nayomberi kuwatoza yawatenda madoda na kuwazyuma yawatenda gaherepa.
whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;
15 Toziya Mlungu kankufira mwenga kwa matendu genu maheri gamtenda, muwanyamaliziyi wantu wazigizigi yawahera mahala.
because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;
16 Mulikali gambira wantu walekeru, kumbiti namuwutendera ulekeru wenu kuwufifa ukondola, kumbiti mulikali gambira wantumintumi wa Mlungu.
as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;
17 Muwapanani ligoya wantu woseri. Muwafiri walongu wenu waumini na mmupanani ligoya Mlungu. Mmupanani ligoya mfalumi.
to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.
18 Mwenga wantumintumi wa ukaya, muwajimiri watuwa wenu kwa ligoya lyoseri, yawawera waheri na yawawera wapoli, muwajimiri ata walii yawakalaziya.
The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;
19 Toziya handa muhepelera kutama kwa ntabiku yamfiruwa ndiri toziya muvimana handa Mlungu kafira hangu, su Mlungu hakawatuli weri.
for this [is] gracious, if because of conscience toward God any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously;
20 Hamupati shishi pamuhepelera makomangu gamfiruwa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenda? Kumbiti handa pamuhepelera ntabiku ata paiweri mtenda maheri, Mlungu hakafiriziwi na mwenga.
for what renown [is it], if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure [it]? but if, doing good and suffering [for it], ye do endure, this [is] gracious with God,
21 Aga ndo gamshemiritwi, Kristu mweni katabikiti toziya ya mwenga, na kawalekerani mfanu, su mtendi ntambu yakatenditi mweni.
for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,
22 Yomberi katenditi ndiri vidoda, ama katakuliti ndiri upayira woseri.
who did not commit sin, nor 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 being reviled — was not reviling again, suffering — was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging 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 our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,
25 Mwenga muweriti gambira wakondolu yawaweriti wagamira, kumbiti vinu mumuwuyira Mlolera na yakawulolera ukomu wenu.
for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
