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 chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in 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.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to 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, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 hwi puano lyesagalimaliha sebhubhabhe ni ntavu sebhubhatapushe. Tibhishilevea mwanya nu Nguluvi.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Hu ngovu zya Unguluvi tidimwa ashilile mlwitiho ulwilohele wewuliho wigulilwe hunsiku zya humpelela.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Mushanje hwili poshe ihwanziwa huyumvwe insibho hwajelo zyontizila.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
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 proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
8 Semhunola lakini mungine. Semhunola isalizi lakini mhwitiha hwa mwene aje usungwo wewumemile utumtumu.
whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
9 Eshi muposhela mwinimwi imbombo zyilwitiho lwinyu, ulokole uwa mhati.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Akuwa bhahanzile abhuzye hai aje ulokole ubhu uwiwene handi winyu.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come 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.
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
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.
To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things 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.
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14 Ndeshe abhana bhebhahwiha msahapinywe mwimimwi nu pafu we mwalondole lula le mwali se mwali semwaminye.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Lelo ndeshe shabhakwizizye shahali ngolosu namwi mubhe bhagolosu injendo zyinyu.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behaviour,
16 Ishi lisimbilwe aje mubhe bhagolosu hunongwa yani indi ngolosu.
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Nke mwankwizya “uDaada” yalonga hwi lyoli alingane ni mbombo zya muntu wowonti jendaga na masala ushulo na huyisye.
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
18 Mumunye aje saga yali huhela - ivintu vyevinanjiha vyebinanjiha vye mulokoshe afume hu njendo zyinyu izyilema zyemwahamanyie afume hwaso bhinyu.
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 Lelo mlokoshe huidanda lyinshishi ya Kilisiti ndeshe lyingole inyiza yesili namadenaje.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
20 Lelo uYesu ahali afume huwando wi insi lelo insiku izi izyahumpelela agubulilwe humwinyu.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
21 Mumwitishe Ungulubhi ashilile nuva mwene, yu Ngulubhi anzyusizye afume hubhafwe ye ahampiye utuntumu aje ulitiho lwitu lubhe dandamazu hwa Nguluvhi.
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so 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 you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
23 Mupapilwe ulwa bhili siga humbeyu yinanjicha imbeya yasihanjiha ashilile huwumi wizwi lya Nguluvhi lyelisagiye. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Huje amabili gonti galije masole nu tuntumu wakwe wonti ndeshe iua lyitundu itundu lyesalihwuma nagwe.
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
