1 OPetro 1
1 Untumwa u Peteri wa Yesu Kiristi, abhajenu bhaulugabhanyo, hwa asalulwa abha Ponto yonti, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, ni Bithinia,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 afumilane mu umanye wa Ngolobhe, u Dada, hwa zehufye nu umpepo umfinjile hwa hwogope hwa Yesu Kilisti hwa hwitilizye idanda lyakwe. Weeneibhe lumwinyu nu tenganu winyu wonjele.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Ungulubhi uDada Ugosi witu Yesu Kilisti asa wi yiwaje. Hugosi wi nkumbu yakwe ahatipela apapwe winza hwa udandamazu wi mpyano izya zyushe hwa Yesu Kilisti afume hubhafwe,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 hwi puano lyesagalimaliha sebhubhabhe ni ntavu sebhubhatapushe. Tibhishilevea mwanya nu Nguluvi.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Hu ngovu zya Unguluvi tidimwa ashilile mlwitiho ulwilohele wewuliho wigulilwe hunsiku zya humpelela.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Mushanje hwili poshe ihwanziwa huyumvwe insibho hwajelo zyontizila.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 Izi huhuje ulwitiho lwinyu lujelwa ulwitiho lwe gosi ashile impiya zyezitaga mumwoto, winjelo zyilwitiho lwetu injelo zifumila huje ulwitiho lubhe nu mpopo uwinza ni nshinshi muzyusyo wa Yesu Kilisiti.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Semhunola lakini mungine. Semhunola isalizi lakini mhwitiha hwa mwene aje usungwo wewumemile utumtumu.
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Eshi muposhela mwinimwi imbombo zyilwitiho lwinyu, ulokole uwa mhati.
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Akuwa bhahanzile abhuzye hai aje ulokole ubhu uwiwene handi winyu.
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Bhahanzile amanye ajeulokole bhuliwe handi winzile. Nantele bhanzile amanye huje ahabhalilizyo bhuli umpepo Kilisti yali mhati yabho ayanjile henu nabho ili lyafumie lula lwe abhabhuzyaga nzila aje amayimba ga Kilisti nu tuntumwe wunginza.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Yakunkwilwe hwa kuwa aje bhabhombelaga imbombo izi natwi hwabhibho twali namwi injango zyi imbombi izi ashilile bhala bhebhahwanza ni zwi humwinya hwidala ilya mpepo umfinjile ya tumwilwe afume humwanya imbombo zye antumi bhayigana agubulilwe hwakwe.
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Ishi mpinye unsana winjele zyinyu mubhemyee munsibho zyinyu mubhe ni khone ugolosu mu wene wewahayiyinza humwinyulwe ayigubulwa uYesu Kilisti.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Ndeshe abhana bhebhahwiha msahapinywe mwimimwi nu pafu we mwalondole lula le mwali se mwali semwaminye.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 Lelo ndeshe shabhakwizizye shahali ngolosu namwi mubhe bhagolosu injendo zyinyu.
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Ishi lisimbilwe aje mubhe bhagolosu hunongwa yani indi ngolosu.
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 Nke mwankwizya “uDaada” yalonga hwi lyoli alingane ni mbombo zya muntu wowonti jendaga na masala ushulo na huyisye.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Mumunye aje saga yali huhela - ivintu vyevinanjiha vyebinanjiha vye mulokoshe afume hu njendo zyinyu izyilema zyemwahamanyie afume hwaso bhinyu.
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 Lelo mlokoshe huidanda lyinshishi ya Kilisiti ndeshe lyingole inyiza yesili namadenaje.
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Lelo uYesu ahali afume huwando wi insi lelo insiku izi izyahumpelela agubulilwe humwinyu.
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Mumwitishe Ungulubhi ashilile nuva mwene, yu Ngulubhi anzyusizye afume hubhafwe ye ahampiye utuntumu aje ulitiho lwitu lubhe dandamazu hwa Nguluvhi.
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Mubhombile mmyoyo ginyu abhe mazelu ahwitishile ilyoli hwa huje ulugano lwa holo nu golosu muganane hani afume mmoyo.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Mupapilwe ulwa bhili siga humbeyu yinanjicha imbeya yasihanjiha ashilile huwumi wizwi lya Nguluvhi lyelisagiye. (aiōn g165)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Huje amabili gonti galije masole nu tuntumu wakwe wonti ndeshe iua lyitundu itundu lyesalihwuma nagwe.
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:
