1 OPetro 2
1 Ishi bhishi gushenje ubhibhi wonti, akhopele, amaliwo uwivu nu uzemele.
Therefore put away all malice, all deceit, insincerity, jealousy, and slander of every sort.
2 Hansi abhana abhela, sungwaji izibha ilinza lya humoyo, ili muwezye akule mhati yilokole,
Like new-born babes long for the pure spiritual milk to make you grow up into salvation;
3 hansi shalenjele aje Ugosi mwinza.
since you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Inzaji hukwakwe wali liwe liwomi lilikhala na likhanilwe na bhantu, lelo lisaluliwe no Ngolobhe na hwamwene shoma.
Come to him then, that living Stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious.
5 Amwe mlihansi amawe gagali momi gaga zengwa mmwanya abhe nyumba yishimoyo, ili abhe udimi ufinjile ambalo lufumya insayilo zyetehwelwe no Ngolobhe ashilile hisa Yesu UKilisti.
And yourselves like living stones be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God, through Christ Jesus.
6 Iizi liyanga liga, “Enya, embeshele pa Sayuni iwe lya pashenje, ekolo na lisalulilwe na shoma. Wowonti wayeteshe hwa mwene saganilola insoni.
For, as Scripture says. Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him shall never be put to shame.
7 Esho inshinshi yenyu humwenyu amwe mumweteshe.” Lelo, “iwe lilikhanilwe na bhabhazenga, eli lifanyishe liwe lingovu lya honshenje”-
For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone of the corner,
8 na, “Iwe lya bomele napakhome pa bomelele. “Abhene bhabomela bhahuli khana iizu, whalila lyabhasaluliwe analyo.
and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble over it because they are disobeying God’s word, and to this they were also appointed.
9 Amwe mlishigholo shishisalulililwe udimi weshemwene, taifa liafinjilwe, bhantu bha tabhale no Ngolobhe, ili mwezye ahenezye imbombo na mayele gola wabhakwizizye afume muhisi ahenze uhuzela whimayele.
But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light -
10 Amwe humwanzo sagamwali bhantu, eshi isalezi amwe mlibhantu bha Ngolobhe. Amwe sagamwaposhelee wene, eshi isalezi mposheyele wene, eshi isalezi mposheyele wene.
you who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; who were once without mercy, but now you have found mercy.
11 Bhaganwe imbakwizizye hansi abhajenu na bhazyongole hujime afume mntamanizyo imbovu zimbibhi ambazyo zikhanana ologo numoyo gwenyu.
I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.
12 Muhanziwa mabhe ni injendo inyinza pahata papagani, hata kabhayanga aje muwombile imbombo imbibhi, bhanza mwawenye imbombo zyenyu inyinza na hunteme Ungulobhe hwisiku lyayenza.
Let your manner of life before the Gentiles be honest; so that, although they are now slandering you as evil-doers, they may, by beholding your noble conduct, come to glorify God, in the day of visitation.
13 Eteha kila indajizyo zya lajizwa umwanadamu kwajili ya Gosi, nkeshe ugonsi yumwene,
Submit yourselves, for the Lord’s sake, to every human authority; whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,
14 nkesho bhabhatabhalabhatumwilwe hubhaazbu bhawomba aminza. Afyatane aje lugano lwa Ngulobhe.
or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the encouragement of well-doers.
15 Eshi awombe aminza mpomezwa injayo yiwalangani yibhantu bhinjele nazimo.
For it is the will of God that by well-doing you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.
16 Nkesho abhantu bhalibhaushe, mungajeafanye uwaushe wenyu hansi igubishilo humbibhi, Nafu mubhe bhawombibhi bha Ngulobhe.
Live like free men; and yet do not make your freedom a cloak for misconduct, but be the slaves of God.
17 Tihaje hubhantu wonti. Bhasongwaji aholo. Tetemehaji hwa Ngulobhe hihaga hwa mwene.
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Reverence God. Honor the Emperor.
18 Antumwa, eshimuji agosi abhenyu huheshima zyonti, saga bhagosi abhinza na apomakati, hata abhibhi.
Household slaves, submit yourselves to your masters in all reverence; not only to the kind and gentle, but also to the unreasonable.
19 Kwa sababu intemo yoyonti abhamanyanaje nu vwalale lwayemba pasaga pali utabhalwe ihatiya iyakwe Ungulobhe.
For it is an acceptable thing to God, if from a sense of duty to him, a man endures a wrong, even suffering unjustly.
20 Huli ifaida yenu yeleho hya mwanadamu awombe imbibhi na hwendelele ahwazibiwu? Eshi nkamwawomba aminza ndoo mwenze apate amalabha whalongwe ene ntemo inyinza wha Ngulobhe.
For what credit is it if, when you are struck for a fault, you take it patiently? But if when you are doing well and suffer for it, you always take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Wheli mwakizwilwe whisabu UKilisti ayembele kwajili iyenyu abhalesheye ifananisyo kwa ajili yenyu afwate amana gakwe.
For this is your calling; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his footsteps;
22 Umwene sagawombile imbibhi, saga waloleshe ugobezi wowonti mwilomu lyakwe.
He committed no sin, Neither was guile found in his mouth.
23 Umwene lwaligwaga, sagawezezezye indigo, lwayembaga, sagahogo fezye ajifumizizye mwene, hwa mwene.
He was reviled, and reviled not back. When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly.
24 Yuyo mwene awosezye imbibhi zyetu mbele gwakwe mwikwi, ili tisahabhe sehemu tenayimbibhi na tisahabhe sehemu tenayimbibhina iwhanziwa tihkalaje kwajili yihaki ahgomwe hwakwe amwe mponile.
He bore our sins in his own body upon the tree, in order that we might become dead to sins, and be alive unto righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
25 Wonti mwalelo atanjetanje hansi ingole yitejile, ishi isalezi muwelile wha mputi na umlinzi wiroho zyenyu.
For you were straying like lost sheep, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
