1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners of the dispersion, the chosen ones, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
Petro, mupostori waJesu Kristu, kuvasanangurwa vaMwari, vatorwa munyika, vakapararira muPondasi yose, neGaratia, neKapadhokia, Ezhia neBhitinia,
2 This is according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, set apart by the Spirit for obedience and for the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace be to you, and may your peace increase.
vakasarudzwa maererano nokuziva zviri mberi kunoita Mwari Baba, kubudikidza nebasa roMweya rokuvaita vatsvene, kuti vateerere kuna Jesu Kristu nokusaswa neropa rake: Nyasha norugare ngazviwande kwamuri.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Mwari, Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, ngaarumbidzwe! Nengoni dzake huru, akatibereka patsva akatipinza mutariro mhenyu nokumuka kwaJesu Kristu kubva kuvakafa,
4 This is for an inheritance that will not perish, will not become stained, and will not fade away. It is reserved in heaven for you.
akatiisa munhaka isingagoni kuparara, isingaori kana kusvava, yamakachengeterwa kudenga,
5 You are protected by God's power through faith, for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last times.
imi munodzivirirwa nesimba raMwari nokutenda kusvikira ruponeso rwauya rwakagadzirirwa kuti ruratidzwe munguva dzokupedzisira.
6 You are very glad about this, even though it is now necessary for you to feel sadness in many different troubles.
Mune izvi munofara zvikuru kunyange zvino, kana zvichifanira, muchitambudzika kwechinguva chiduku nenzira dzose dzemiedzo.
7 This is for the proving of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire. This happens so that your faith will be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revealing of Jesus Christ.
Izvi zvakauya kuitira kuti kutenda kwenyu, kunokosha kupfuura goridhe, rinoparara kunyange zvaro rakanatswa nomoto, kuwanikwe kwakakwana uye kuve kunorumbidzwa, kunobwinya uye kunokudzwa pakuratidzwa kwaJesu Kristu.
8 You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now, but you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.
Kunyange musina kumuona, munomuda; kunyange zvazvo musingamuoni zvino, munotenda kwaari uye muzere nomufaro usingagoni kurondedzerwa,
9 You are now receiving for yourselves the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
nokuti muri kugamuchira chinovavarirwa nokutenda kwenyu, irwo ruponeso rwemweya yenyu.
10 The prophets searched and inquired carefully about this salvation, about the grace that would be yours.
Nezvoruponeso urwu, vaprofita vakataura nezvenyasha dzaizouya kwamuri, vakanzvera zvikuru uye vakabvunza zvikuru,
11 They searched to know about whom and when the Spirit of Christ in them was speaking to them. This was happening as he was telling them in advance about the sufferings of Christ and the glorious things after that.
vachiedza kunzvera kuti vaone nguva nezvinhu zvairatidzwa noMweya wakanga uri mukati mavo pawakaprofita nezvokutambudzika kwaKristu, uye nezvokubwinya kwaizotevera.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told to you by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.
Zvakaratidzwa kwavari kuti vakanga vasingazvishumiri ivo, asi imi, pavakataura nezvezvinhu zvakataurwa kwamuri zvino naavo vakaparidza vhangeri kwamuri noMweya Mutsvene wakatumwa uchibva kudenga. Kunyange vatumwa vanoshuva kuona zvinhu izvozvi.
13 So gird up the loins of your mind. Be sober. Put your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Naizvozvo, pfungwa dzenyu ngadzigadzirire kushanda, muzvidzore; muise, zvizere, tariro yenyu panyasha dzamuchapiwa pakuonekwa kwaJesu Kristu.
14 As obedient children, do not conform yourselves to the desires that you followed when you were ignorant.
Savana vanoteerera, musaenzaniswa nezvido zvakaipa zvamaiva nazvo pamairarama mukusaziva.
15 But as the one who called you is holy, you, too, be holy in your whole behavior.
Asi saiye akakudanai mutsvene, ivai vatsvene pane zvose zvamunoita;
16 For it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Ivai vatsvene, nokuti ini ndiri mutsvene.”
17 So if you call “Father” the one who judges impartially and according to each person's work, go through the time of your journey in reverence.
Sezvo muchidana kuna Baba vanotonga basa romunhu mumwe nomumwe vasingatsauri, mugare upenyu hwenyu pano savatorwa muchitya.
18 You know that it was not with perishable silver or gold that you have been redeemed from the foolish behavior that you learned from your fathers.
Nokuti munoziva kuti hamuna kudzikinurwa nezvinhu zvinoora, zvakadai sesirivha kana goridhe, kubva paupenyu hwenyu husina maturo, hwamakagamuchira kubva kumadzitateguru enyu,
19 Instead, you have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, who was like a lamb without blemish or spot.
asi neropa rinokosha raKristu, iro gwayana risina charingapomerwa uye risina kuremara.
20 Christ was chosen before the foundation of the world, but now he has been revealed to you in these last times.
Akasanangurwa kare nyika isati yavapo, asi akaratidzwa kwamuri mumazuva ano okupedzisira nokuda kwenyu.
21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
Kubudikidza naye munotenda kuna Mwari, akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa uye akamukudza, kuti kutenda kwenyu netariro yenyu zvive muna Mwari.
22 You made your souls pure by obedience to the truth. This was for the purpose of sincere brotherly love; so love one another earnestly from the heart.
Zvino zvamakanatsa mwoyo yenyu nokuteerera chokwadi kuitira kuti mude hama muzvokwadi, munofanira kudanana zvikuru, zvichibva pamwoyo.
23 You have been born again, not from perishable seed, but from imperishable seed, through the living and remaining word of God. (aiōn g165)
Nokuti makaberekwa patsva, kwete nembeu inoora, asi isingaori, neshoko raMwari benyu uye rinogara nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the wild flower of the grass. The grass dries up, and the flower falls off,
Nokuti, “Vanhu vose vakaita souswa, uye kuyevedza kwavo kwakaita samaruva ouswa; uswa hunosvava uye maruva anowira pasi,
