1 OPetro 1
1 Untumwa u Peteri wa Yesu Kiristi, abhajenu bhaulugabhanyo, hwa asalulwa abha Ponto yonti, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia, ni Bithinia,
PETER, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, to the elect and sojourners, who are dispersed in Pontus and in Galatia, and in Cappadocia, and in Asia, and in 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.
to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you.
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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,
4 hwi puano lyesagalimaliha sebhubhabhe ni ntavu sebhubhatapushe. Tibhishilevea mwanya nu Nguluvi.
and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;
5 Hu ngovu zya Unguluvi tidimwa ashilile mlwitiho ulwilohele wewuliho wigulilwe hunsiku zya humpelela.
while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;
6 Mushanje hwili poshe ihwanziwa huyumvwe insibho hwajelo zyontizila.
wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;
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.
so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:
8 Semhunola lakini mungine. Semhunola isalizi lakini mhwitiha hwa mwene aje usungwo wewumemile utumtumu.
whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,
9 Eshi muposhela mwinimwi imbombo zyilwitiho lwinyu, ulokole uwa mhati.
that ye may receive the recompense of your faith, the life of your souls;
10 Akuwa bhahanzile abhuzye hai aje ulokole ubhu uwiwene handi winyu.
that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to 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.
And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.
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.
And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also 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 minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
14 Ndeshe abhana bhebhahwiha msahapinywe mwimimwi nu pafu we mwalondole lula le mwali se mwali semwaminye.
as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge.
15 Lelo ndeshe shabhakwizizye shahali ngolosu namwi mubhe bhagolosu injendo zyinyu.
But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you.
16 Ishi lisimbilwe aje mubhe bhagolosu hunongwa yani indi ngolosu.
Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy.
17 Nke mwankwizya “uDaada” yalonga hwi lyoli alingane ni mbombo zya muntu wowonti jendaga na masala ushulo na huyisye.
And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear;
18 Mumunye aje saga yali huhela - ivintu vyevinanjiha vyebinanjiha vye mulokoshe afume hu njendo zyinyu izyilema zyemwahamanyie afume hwaso bhinyu.
since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;
19 Lelo mlokoshe huidanda lyinshishi ya Kilisiti ndeshe lyingole inyiza yesili namadenaje.
but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:
20 Lelo uYesu ahali afume huwando wi insi lelo insiku izi izyahumpelela agubulilwe humwinyu.
who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;
21 Mumwitishe Ungulubhi ashilile nuva mwene, yu Ngulubhi anzyusizye afume hubhafwe ye ahampiye utuntumu aje ulitiho lwitu lubhe dandamazu hwa Nguluvhi.
who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; 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.
while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;
23 Mupapilwe ulwa bhili siga humbeyu yinanjicha imbeya yasihanjiha ashilile huwumi wizwi lya Nguluvhi lyelisagiye. (aiōn g165)
like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Huje amabili gonti galije masole nu tuntumu wakwe wonti ndeshe iua lyitundu itundu lyesalihwuma nagwe.
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away;
