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 chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in 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, 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 U Nguluve uNhaata ghwa Mutwa ghwitu Yesu kilisite aghinuaghe. Mulusungu ulwake uluvaha, alyatuholile vupia vwimila kukunsusia u Yesu kilisite kuhuma muva vufue,
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 kuuti twupile silo uNguluve alyalaghile kukuvapeela avanhu vaake avaviikile isio kukyanya kuno nasivola, nambe kunangika, nambe kusakala.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Unguluve mungufu sake, ikuvalola vunofu vwimila ulwitiko lwinu kuvupoki vuno alig'hanisie kukuvahufia unsiki ughwa vusililo.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Muhovokaghe vwimila uluo, napanolino munoghile kusukunala vwimila ingelo sino silipapinga.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
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 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 Umwene namumbwene, looli mumughanile. Namukumwagha lino, poope vwimila vwamwene muli nu lukeelo luno nalujoveka kulukelo luno lumemilue nu lughinio.
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 Vwimila ulwitiko lwinu lino mukwupila jumue, uvupoki vwa mojo ghinu.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Avavili vakalolesyagha fijo na vakaposelesia vakagule vule ilikuvapoka
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
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 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 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 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 Mu uluo muling'aniaghe kuluhala lwinhu. Muvesaghe nu lujisio mumasaghe ghinu. Mukangasiaghe na kuhuvila fijo ulusungu luno mulipelua ikighono kinno iligomoka.
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 Ndavule avaana avakundi, mulekaghe kulongosivua nuvunoghelua vwinu vuno mulyale navwo ye mukyale kukunkagula unguluve.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Looli, muvisaghe vimike mumikalile agha vwumi vwinu vwoni, ndavule juno avakemelile vule mwimike.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behaviour,
16 Ulwakuva lilembilue, “Muvesaghe vimike, ulwakuva une nilimwimike.”
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Kange ndave mukuntambula “Nhata” juno ikuvahigha avanhu vooni mumaghendele ghave, mujisiaghe nakuvingilila muvwumi vwinu vwoni
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 Mugagwile vule muvangilue kuhuma mumaghendele ghiinu ghano naghanoghile ghano mulyupile kuvakuulu viinu, nalyavavangile ni finu fino finangike ndavule indalama nambe isahabu.
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 Looli muvangilue ni danda inalamu ija Yesu kilisite, ndavule ija ng'holo ija litekelo, isila vulema nambe lideha.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
20 Ukilisite alyasalulilue kuhuma m'bukuuku ye jikyale kupelua iisi, neke mumasiki agha aghavusililo, amuhofisie vwimila umue.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
21 Mukumwitika uNguluve vwimila umwene, juno u Nguluve alyansusisie kuhuma kuvafue nakumpeela uvuvaha kuuti mumwitikaghe na kukumuhuvila u Nguluve.
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 Muvalisie amoojo ghiinu vwimila kukunda uvwakyang'aani, nakukuvaghana avajinu kisila vukedusi, lino muvaghanaghe nu mwoojo ghwoni.
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 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 born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Ulwakuva “Amavili ghooni ghalindavule ilisoli, utogo lwake lwoni lulindavule ililuva lya lisoli. ilisoli linyala, ililuva lijoghotoka nakusanguka,
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;
