1 Peter 1
1 Piela, mvuala wu Yesu Klisto, mfidisidi nkanda kuidi bobo Nzambi kasobula ayi banzingila mu zitsi banzenza, batembakana mu bizunga bi Ponti, Ngalatiya, Kapadosi, Azi ayi Bitini.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Nzambi Tata wulusobula tona thama boso bubela lukanu luandi lolo kakubika ayi beno lukitulu batu banlongo mu lusadusu lu Pheve andi mu diambu di tumukina Yesu Klisto ayi vedoso mu menga mandi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama biba yeno mu buwombo.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Bika Nzambi kakemboso, niandi Dise di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto wutuvana luzingu lumona mu kiadi kiandi bu kafulukisa Yesu Klisto mu bafua, mu kutuvana diana diodi di moyo.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Bila wutukubikila kiuka kioki kilendi fua ko; kilendi biva ko; kilendi vembudila ko, kioki kilundulu ku diyilu mu diambu dieno.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Beno lunkebolongo mu lulendo lu Nzambi mu nzila yi minu mu diambu di phulusu yoyi yikubimini mu monokoso mu thangu yi tsuka.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Diawu diodi dilembo kulumonisa khini, ka diambu ko buabu lufueti monoso diaka kiadi, mu ndambu thangu mu diambu di zithotolo zi phila mu phila
In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 muingi minu kieno bu kimeni toto bumboti kikituka diambu di luzitu, di nkembo ayi di nzitusu mu lumbu kiela kuiza Yesu Klisto, bila minu kienokilutidi luvalu ayi nolo yoyo yeti biva ayi yoyi beti tota ku mbazu.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise, and honor, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Yesu, mutu wowo kalumueni ko vayi lueti kunzola. Ka diambu ko beno lumueni ko vayi lueti kunwilukila ayi diawu luididi mu khini yi nkemboayi yika yilendi sudukusu ko.
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory:
9 Bila lutambulanga tsundu yi minu kieno: phulusu yi miela mieno.
Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
10 Mimbikudi, miomi mibikula nlemvo wowo balukubikila miyuvula ayi mifiongunina tsundu yi phulusu beni.
Concerning which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] to you:
11 Mizola zaba thangu mbi voti buevi buela vangimina mambu momo matuba Pheve yi Klisto, Pheve yoyi yiba mu bawu; yisamuna tona thama ziphasi ziela mona Klisto ayi nkembo wowo wela landakana.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Baba monisa ti mambu beni momo baba kamba, masia ba mu diambudiawu ko vayi mu diambu dieno. Buabu balukamba mambu beni kuidi batubobo balusamunina Nsamu Wumboti mu nzila yi lulendo lu Pheve Yinlongo, yoyo yiba ku Diyilu. Ayi zimbasi zimmonanga phuila mu mona mambu beni.
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Diawu, bika luba bakubama mu diela dieno mu diambu di sala ayi lubika ba phulu dia ayi nua; lutula diana dieno mu nlemvo wowo luelatambula mu lumbu Yesu Klisto kela monika.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 Banga bana badi bulemvo, lubika landakana zinzinunu ziozi ziba yenomu thama bu luba batu bakambulu diela.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 Vayi bu didi ti mutu wowo wulutela widi wunlongo, buna bika beno mamveno luba banlongo mu khadulu eno;
But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of deportment.
16 bila masonama ti: Bika luba banlongo bila minu veka ndidi wunlongo!
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 Enati mu lusambulu lueno, lueti tedila Tata mutu wowo wetisambila batu boso buididi mavanga mawu mu kambu ntalu zizi mu batu; buna bika bu lukidi va nza, luzingila mu lukinzu va ntualꞌandi.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
18 Beno luzebi ti lukulu mu nzingulu eno yi buvungisi yoyi bakulu beno balulongisa. Khudulu eno yisia vangimina mu bima bimbolanga ko, mu palata ko voti mu nolo ko
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain course of life [received] by tradition from your fathers;
19 vayi mu menga ma thalu, ma Klisto widi banga muana dimemi wukambulu kieta ayi wukambulu kadi ditona.
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Niandi wusobolo nza yivangama ntoto wuvangama ayi wumonika mu diambu dieno mu zithangu ziazi zi tsuka.
Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,
21 Mu nzilꞌandi lueka wilukila Nzambi yoyi yimfulukisa mu bafuaayi yimvana nkembo mu diambu di minu kieno ayi diana dieno bibanga kaka mu Nzambi.
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Lumana vedoso bu lutumukina mambu ma kiedika mu diambu di luzola mu bukiedika bakhomba zieno. Diawu luzolasananga beno na beno mu ntimawu vedila
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 beno lubutuka mbutuka yimona, bika sia ti mu lulendo lu nkuna weti fuanga vayi mu lulendo lu nkuna wowo ka wufuanga ko; mu mambu ma moyo ma Nzambi, momo madi mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Bila disonama ti: Woso mutu widi banga kiti ki nsitu Nkembo woso wu batu widi banga teka ki zitsola Kiti kieti yuma ayi teka kiandi kieti bua.
For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away:
