1 Petulo 2
1 Ecebo cakendi tayani byaipa byonse, kubepa, kulibonesha, ne munyono kayi ne minyansho.
Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations;
2 Mbuli mwana lasemwa calinolino ncakute kulilila mukupa wabanyina, nenjamwe kamubanga ne nkunukwa ya mukupa wancinencine wakumushimu, kwambeti umukulishe nekumushikisha kukupuluka.
like newly born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, in order that you may grow thereby unto salvation:
3 Mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti, “Mulatelele nkumbo sha Mwami.”
if you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 Lino kamwisani kuli Mwami, libwe lyabuyumi ndyobalakana bantu, nsombi Lesa walalisala kuba lya mulo wadula.
Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious,
5 Kamwisani mube mabwe abuyumi ngoti asebenseshe Lesa kwibaka ng'anda yakendi, umo mweti musebenselengeti beshimilumbo baswepa balatwalanga milumbo njalayandanga Lesa kupitila muli Yesu Klistu.
and you, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God through Jesus Christ.
6 Pakwinga mu Mabala mwalembweti, “Ndasala libwe lya mulo wadula. Ndalibiki kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda mu Siyoni. Waushoma nteti akanyufwe nsoni.”
Because it runs thus in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and the one believing on him can not be ashamed.
7 Lino kuli omwashoma, nendi ni wamulo wadula. Nomba kuli babula lushomo, maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe beshikwibaka ng'anda ndyobalakana, elyalasanduka kuba libwe lyankokola yang'anda.”
Therefore to you who believe he is precious: but to the unbelievers, the stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner, and the stone of stumbling, and the rock of offence,
8 Kayi maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Lyopeleli e libwe lyeti bakalipuntengaponga bantu, libwe lyacandanshi, lyeti likabawishenga bantu.” Ee balalipuntunga pakwinga balakananga maswi a Lesa, kayi ici ecalikuyandika kulyendibo.
who stumble over the word, disbelieving: unto which they indeed were appointed.
9 Nomba njamwe mukowa wasalwa, beshimilumbo bacami, mushobo waswepa, bantu bakendi Lesa. Walamusala kwambeti mukakambauke ncito sha ngofu sha uyo walamukuweti mufume mumushinshe kuya kwingila mukumunika kwakendi kwakankamanisha.
But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people unto conquest; in order that you may proclaim the virtues of the one having called you out of darkness unto his own marvelous light:
10 Kaindi nkamwalikuba bantu bakendi Lesa, nsombi lino njamwe bakendi. Kaindi nkamwalikwishiba sha Lesa, nomba lino mulatambulu nkumbo shakendi.
who at one time were no people, but now you are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, lint just now having received mercy.
11 Mobanse bame, pakwinga njamwe bensu mucishici, ndamusengenga kamutakonkelanga lunkumbwa lwa mibili lukute kulwana nkondo ne buyumi bwenu bwa kumushimu.
Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers, to abstain from the carnal desire which wars against the soul;
12 Cendo cenu pakati pa bantu ba kunsa cibe caina, kwambeti nambi balamwambangeti mobeshi kwinsa byaipa, nsombi babona ncito shenu shaina, bakakonshe kulemekesha Lesa pabusuba mbweshakese.
having your deportment beautiful among the Gentiles: in order that in whatsoever they calumniate you as evil doers, seeing from your beautiful works, they may glorify God in the day of his visitation.
13 Cebo ca Mwami Lesa, nyumfwilani bamakulene bakute ngofu shabwendeleshi. Mbuli usa Mwami mukulene ukute ngofu shinene shabwendeleshi munyumfwileni, pakwinga ukute bwendeleshi pa bami nabambi bonse,
Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent,
14 na nibendeleshi mbwalasala, naboyo banyumfwileni pakwinga walabatuma kwambeti bapenga cisubulo beshikwinsa byaipa, kayi kulumba abo balenshinga byaina.
or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good;
15 Pakwinga Lesa layandangeti mupwishe kwamba kwabuluya kwa bantu kupitila mu bintu byaina mbyomulenshinga.
because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people:
16 Ee, kamubani basunguluka, nsombi kusunguluka kwenu kakutabanga kwakufwekelela byaipa, nsombi kamwikalani eti basebenshi ba Lesa.
as free, and not as having the freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God.
17 Kamulemekanga bantu bonse. Sunani baklistu banenu. Tinani Lesa, kayi neye mwami mukulene usa mumupe bulemu.
Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king.
18 Amwe basebenshi, nyumfwilani nekupa bulemu abo bamwingisha ncito, nteko kuli baina moyo bonka sobwe, nsombi nekuli balukanda bonse.
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Ni cintu caina ulimbikilowa mubyeshikubaba byabula kumwelela pakwinga Lesa nakamupe colwe.
For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly.
20 Niciyani ncondelela kumulumba na balamumunga cebo ca mulandu ngomwensa? Nsombi na mulimbikilowa cebo cakwinsa byaina, ekwambeti mulenshi cintu casuminishiwa ne Lesa.
For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.
21 Bwikalo bulicisa embwalamukuwila Lesa, ntepasa neye Klistu walanyumfwa byeshikubaba cebo canjamwe, nekumushiyila cilesho kwambeti mukonkelenga myendo yakendi.
For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:
22 Liya kwinsapo bwipishi bulibonse, kayi liya kwambapo byabwepeshi sobwe.
who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth,
23 Mpobalikumutukana liya kubweshela matuka. Mpwalikupenshewa liya kubayoshapo, nsombi byonse walabibika mumakasa a Lesa, momboloshi walulama.
who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously:
24 Klistu walalitwika bwipishi bwetu bonse mumubili wakendi palusanda, kwambeti tuleke kwipisha mubuyumi bwetu, nomba pakukonkela bululami tube bayumi. Mwalasengulwa ne mibata yakendi.
who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.
25 Mwalikubeti mbelele shataika, nomba lino mulabwelele kuli mwembeshi lamwembelenga ne kumulanga cena.
For you have wandered away like sheep; but you have now turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
