1 Petro 1
1 Petro, nsung'ua ghwa Yesu kilisite, kulyumue vabaghulivua, kuvasalulua, mu Pontoon joni, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 kuhuma muvwelevua vwa Nguluve, Nhata, kuvalasivua nu Mhepo Mwimike, mulwa kumwoghopa u Yesu kiliste, na kuvalasivua vwimila idanda jaake. Uvumofu vuve numue, nu lutengano lwinu lwongelele.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 U Nguluve uNhaata ghwa Mutwa ghwitu Yesu kilisite aghinuaghe. Mulusungu ulwake uluvaha, alyatuholile vupia vwimila kukunsusia u Yesu kilisite kuhuma muva vufue,
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 kuuti twupile silo uNguluve alyalaghile kukuvapeela avanhu vaake avaviikile isio kukyanya kuno nasivola, nambe kunangika, nambe kusakala.
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,
5 Unguluve mungufu sake, ikuvalola vunofu vwimila ulwitiko lwinu kuvupoki vuno alig'hanisie kukuvahufia unsiki ughwa vusililo.
who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Muhovokaghe vwimila uluo, napanolino munoghile kusukunala vwimila ingelo sino silipapinga.
In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order
7 Uluo, ulwakuva ulwitiko lwinulwinu luve mungelo, ulwitiko luno lunoghile kukila isahabu, jino jinangika mu mwoto ghuno ghughela ulwitiko lwinu, ulu luhumile kuuti ulwitiko lwinu luuve ulunyakupaala, ulunyakughinia, muvwoghopua mukighono ikya kugomoka u Yesu kilite.
that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 Umwene namumbwene, looli mumughanile. Namukumwagha lino, poope vwimila vwamwene muli nu lukeelo luno nalujoveka kulukelo luno lumemilue nu lughinio.
whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Vwimila ulwitiko lwinu lino mukwupila jumue, uvupoki vwa mojo ghinu.
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Avavili vakalolesyagha fijo na vakaposelesia vakagule vule ilikuvapoka
Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated,
11 Ulwakuva uMhepo kilisite juno alyale mun'kate muveene, ilipumuka napambele iiva nu vuvaha. Valonda kuuti vakagule unsiki muki uMhepo wa kilisite juno alimun'kate muvanave alyale ijova keke navene. Ulu lulyahumile unsiki ghono alyale ikuvavula kuuti imumuko sa Kilisite nuvwimila vuno ngalivumbingilile.
searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show:
12 Akavahufia avaviili kuuti imbombo jave ijakuvila najilyale vwimila aveene, loolilooli jilyale vwimila umue - imola isio musipulike kuhuma kuvaanhu vano vipulisia imola inofu mungufu isa Mhepo Mwimike Juno alyasung'hilu kuhuma kukyanya, imola isio avanyamola vinoghelua kukusikagula.
to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.
13 Mu uluo muling'aniaghe kuluhala lwinhu. Muvesaghe nu lujisio mumasaghe ghinu. Mukangasiaghe na kuhuvila fijo ulusungu luno mulipelua ikighono kinno iligomoka.
Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Ndavule avaana avakundi, mulekaghe kulongosivua nuvunoghelua vwinu vuno mulyale navwo ye mukyale kukunkagula unguluve.
As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:
15 Looli, muvisaghe vimike mumikalile agha vwumi vwinu vwoni, ndavule juno avakemelile vule mwimike.
but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;
16 Ulwakuva lilembilue, “Muvesaghe vimike, ulwakuva une nilimwimike.”
because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.
17 Kange ndave mukuntambula “Nhata” juno ikuvahigha avanhu vooni mumaghendele ghave, mujisiaghe nakuvingilila muvwumi vwinu vwoni
And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,
18 Mugagwile vule muvangilue kuhuma mumaghendele ghiinu ghano naghanoghile ghano mulyupile kuvakuulu viinu, nalyavavangile ni finu fino finangike ndavule indalama nambe isahabu.
knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,
19 Looli muvangilue ni danda inalamu ija Yesu kilisite, ndavule ija ng'holo ija litekelo, isila vulema nambe lideha.
but by the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spotless:
20 Ukilisite alyasalulilue kuhuma m'bukuuku ye jikyale kupelua iisi, neke mumasiki agha aghavusililo, amuhofisie vwimila umue.
foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you,
21 Mukumwitika uNguluve vwimila umwene, juno u Nguluve alyansusisie kuhuma kuvafue nakumpeela uvuvaha kuuti mumwitikaghe na kukumuhuvila u Nguluve.
who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God.
22 Muvalisie amoojo ghiinu vwimila kukunda uvwakyang'aani, nakukuvaghana avajinu kisila vukedusi, lino muvaghanaghe nu mwoojo ghwoni.
Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:
23 Muholilue vupia, nakwekuti kuholua kim'bili ghuno ghufua ulwene muholilue kuuva nu vwumi uvusila kusila, mungufu isalisio lya Nguluve ilyafighono fyoni. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides. (aiōn g165)
24 Ulwakuva “Amavili ghooni ghalindavule ilisoli, utogo lwake lwoni lulindavule ililuva lya lisoli. ilisoli linyala, ililuva lijoghotoka nakusanguka,
Therefore all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass is withered, and the flower fell off;
