< 1 Peter 2 >

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Su muleki ukondola woseri na upayira na ufyangu na weya na kila ntambu zya kutakulirana madoda.
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Gambira wana wanonu ntambu yawafira maweri, mfiruwa kuwera na mata ga maweri geni ga shirohu, su kwa aga mpati kukula muulopoziya wenu.
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
Vinu mwenga muvimana kuwera Mtuwa ndo muheri.
4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
Su mumgenderi Mtuwa, libuwi lya ukomu lyalilemitwi na wantu, kumbiti kulongolu kwa Mlungu ndo libuwi lyalisyagulitwi na lya mana nentu.
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Na mwenga vulaa, gambira mabuwi yagawera makomu, munyawiwa muweri numba ya shirohu kweni aku hamtenderi ntambu mtambika gwa shirohu pakalaviya tambiku zya shirohu zyazijimirwa na Mlungu kupitira Yesu Kristu.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Toziya Mumalembu Mananagala galembitwi, “Guloli, nankutula libuwi aku Sayuni, libuwi lya lyanjiru lya mupembi lyalisyagulitwi na lya mana nentu, na muntu yoseri yakamjimira yomberi hapeni kasoniziwi.”
7 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Kwa mwenga yamujimira, libuwi ali lyana mana nentu. Kumbiti kwa walii yawajimira ndiri, Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa numba, liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana kuliku goseri,”
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
kayi galonga, “Libuwi ali ndo wantu hawalikwali, litalawu haliwatendi womberi waguwi.” Womberi walikwala toziya wajimira ndiri ujumbi wa Mlungu, na hangu ndo ntambu yawapangiwitwi kwanjira kwanja.
9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Kumbiti mwenga ndo lukolu lwalusyagulwa na utambika wa shifalumi na shipinga sha wantu wananagala na wantu wakuwi Mlungu, yamushemitwi kubwera matendu makulu gakulikangasha ga Mlungu, yakawashemiti kulawa muluwindu na kuwayingiziya muulangala wakuwi wa kulikangasha.
10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Shipindi shimu, mwenga muwera ndiri wantu wa Mlungu, kumbiti vinu mwenga muwera wantu wakuwi, shipindi shimu muwoneritwi ndiri lusungu na Mlungu, kumbiti vinu muwonerwa lusungu.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Waganja wangu, nuwahiga nentu mwenga gambira wahenga na yawapita pasipanu! Muleki matamata zidoda zyazisingana na rohu zyenu.
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Mfiruwa kuwera na mgenderanu guherepa nentu pakati pa wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu su ata pawawatakulira mtenda madoda wawezi kugamana matendu genu maheri, su wamkwisi Mlungu lishaka lya kwiza kuwatoza wantu.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Su muwajimiri walongoziya woseri wa wantu toziya ya Mtuwa, ujimira kwa mfalumi yakaweriti mkolamlima mkulu,
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
ama ujimira kwa walongoziya wa mikowa, weni yawasyagulitwi nayomberi kuwatoza yawatenda madoda na kuwazyuma yawatenda gaherepa.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Toziya Mlungu kankufira mwenga kwa matendu genu maheri gamtenda, muwanyamaliziyi wantu wazigizigi yawahera mahala.
16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Mulikali gambira wantu walekeru, kumbiti namuwutendera ulekeru wenu kuwufifa ukondola, kumbiti mulikali gambira wantumintumi wa Mlungu.
17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Muwapanani ligoya wantu woseri. Muwafiri walongu wenu waumini na mmupanani ligoya Mlungu. Mmupanani ligoya mfalumi.
18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Mwenga wantumintumi wa ukaya, muwajimiri watuwa wenu kwa ligoya lyoseri, yawawera waheri na yawawera wapoli, muwajimiri ata walii yawakalaziya.
19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
Toziya handa muhepelera kutama kwa ntabiku yamfiruwa ndiri toziya muvimana handa Mlungu kafira hangu, su Mlungu hakawatuli weri.
20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.
Hamupati shishi pamuhepelera makomangu gamfiruwa toziya ya vidoda vyamtenda? Kumbiti handa pamuhepelera ntabiku ata paiweri mtenda maheri, Mlungu hakafiriziwi na mwenga.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Aga ndo gamshemiritwi, Kristu mweni katabikiti toziya ya mwenga, na kawalekerani mfanu, su mtendi ntambu yakatenditi mweni.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Yomberi katenditi ndiri vidoda, ama katakuliti ndiri upayira woseri.
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
Pawamwigiliti yomberi kawankula ndiri kwa kwigila, pakapatiti ntabiku yomberi kalaviyiti ndiri vitiriziwu, su kagatuliti matumbiru gakuwi kwa Mlungu, mtoza gwa teratera.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Yomberi mweni kavipapiti vidoda vyetu munshimba mwakuwi pakapingikitwi palupingika, su tuleki kutenda vidoda na kulikala makaliru gagamfiriziya Mlungu, na kwa vironda vyakuwi mwenga mponiziwitwi.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Mwenga muweriti gambira wakondolu yawaweriti wagamira, kumbiti vinu mumuwuyira Mlolera na yakawulolera ukomu wenu.
