1 Peter 1
1 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,
Petorosi, mwapositola wa Jesu Kirisite, kuva yedi ve nako, vava kwetwa, mukati kose ka Potiasi, Magalatia, Cappadocia, Asia, ni Bathiania.
2 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.
Cho kutenda kezivo yokuvusu ye Ireenza Ishetu. Ivali cho kuchenisa ni Luhuwo lo kuzumina ni kwi tilela malaha a Jesu Krisite. Linu chisemo chive ni we, ni kozo yako iyekeze.
3 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,
Ke Ireenza ni Esi wa Jesu Krisite a fulyolwe. Muvukando bwe chishemo chakwe, cha tuha ku zwala cihya ke sepo yo kuyola. Ichi chiyolo chi keza kezila yo kuvuka kwa Jesu Krisite kuva fwile.
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
Kono ichi ciyolo chisa maani, kese chive ni vuvi, kete ni chi mane. chivi kilwe inwe kwiwulu.
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Mu silelezitwe cha maata a Ireenza che tumero, cho kuhazwa kulivelelwe kuvoneka kumani mani enako.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
Mi usangite kuamana nezi, ni kuvavulyo kuswanela kuti nova lizuwi vuvi mu bukabo vushutana shutana.
7 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 honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Uko kulika itumelo yenu, mi kwina vutokwa ahulu kuhita gaunda isinyeha, ni hailikwa mumulilo. Izi zitendehala kuti itumelo iwanike mwi tumbo, ikanya, ni kute kuku bonahaza Jesus Christe.
8 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,
Kena muvamuvoni, kono mumusaka. Kamumu voni hanu, kono muzumina kwali ni mutavite ni tavo isawambiwa, inkanya ye tavo.
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Kono hanu mutambula kwenu bulyo mupuzo we tumelo yenu, kuhazwa kwo luhuwo lwenu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Vafolofita vava sakisisi ni kwiza ahulu kuamana zo kuhazwa, kuamaana ni chisemo chese chibe cenu.
11 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.
Chiva sakisisa kwi ziva uzo ni lili ni Luhuwo lwa Krisite haluvali kuwamba kuvali. Inzi ziva pangahali ziva wambirwa havusu kuamaana ni kunyadiswa kwa Christe zitu ze kanya kuzwa aho.
12 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.
Zive zinveki kuva vopolofita kuti hati vavali kulitusa avo vene, kono enwe. Ichi chi vavali kutenda kuamaana ni zitu zi muva wambilwi kamukwa wo Luhuwo Lujolola, uvatumwa kuzwa kwi wulu. Izi zitu nanga magiloyi alakazwa kuvoniswa.
13 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—
Cwale mutende muzezo yenu hande. Musiye kukolwa. Muvike isepo yose muchisemo chileta kwi ziveka kwa Jesu Krisite.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
Ha tuli tuvana ve chilila, musiye ku swana itakazo nezina zimuvali kwichilile ni musezi niti.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
Kono iye avamisupi u jolola, inwe, nanwe, mujolole mumaikuto enu wonse.
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Kakuli kuñoletwe, “Mu jolole, kakuli ime ni jolola.”
17 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,
Mi hamusupa “Ishetu” iye yenke uyatula zwimwi ni ku sena isovozi kuamana ni mutendo wo mutu, muhinde inako mumusipili ni sabo.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Mwizi kuti hati kavali ke silivera ni gauda efwa iva muhanzi kuvu holo ye mimitedo imuva lituti kuve ishenu.
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
Hakuli vulyo, u va hazwa ni malaha avutokwa a Krisite, avali kuswana ni imbelele isena chivata.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
Krisite ava saliwa pili ni misumo ye kanda, kono hanu chali zivahalisa kwenu mwinako ya manimani.
21 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.
Chakwe muzumina kwe Ireenza, ava muvusi kuvafu mi kuvamwi chavaha ikanya kuti itumero yavo ni sepo ive kwe Ireenza.
22 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,
Muvatendi luhuwo lwenu kujolola choku zumina kwi niti. Ichi chivalikutenda mulelo wo vulikani mwi rato, cwale mulisake ahulu mwi kulo.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Linu mu vanzalwa chihya, isini ketanga ivola, kono che tanga isavoli, muvuhalo ni lizwi lye Ireenza likalilila. (aiōn g165)
24 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;
Ke “nyama yonse iswana sina lyani, ni ikanya yateni yonse iswana nipalisa ya lyani. Lyani lizuma, ni palisa ziwila hasi,
