1 Petro 1
1 Petro, nsung'ua ghwa Yesu kilisite, kulyumue vabaghulivua, kuvasalulua, mu Pontoon joni, Galatia, Kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia,
PETER, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, to the elect and sojourners, who are dispersed in Pontus and in Galatia, and in Cappadocia, and in Asia, and in 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.
to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you.
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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,
4 kuuti twupile silo uNguluve alyalaghile kukuvapeela avanhu vaake avaviikile isio kukyanya kuno nasivola, nambe kunangika, nambe kusakala.
and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;
5 Unguluve mungufu sake, ikuvalola vunofu vwimila ulwitiko lwinu kuvupoki vuno alig'hanisie kukuvahufia unsiki ughwa vusililo.
while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;
6 Muhovokaghe vwimila uluo, napanolino munoghile kusukunala vwimila ingelo sino silipapinga.
wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;
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.
so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:
8 Umwene namumbwene, looli mumughanile. Namukumwagha lino, poope vwimila vwamwene muli nu lukeelo luno nalujoveka kulukelo luno lumemilue nu lughinio.
whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,
9 Vwimila ulwitiko lwinu lino mukwupila jumue, uvupoki vwa mojo ghinu.
that ye may receive the recompense of your faith, the life of your souls;
10 Avavili vakalolesyagha fijo na vakaposelesia vakagule vule ilikuvapoka
that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given 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.
And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.
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.
And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also 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.
Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,
14 Ndavule avaana avakundi, mulekaghe kulongosivua nuvunoghelua vwinu vuno mulyale navwo ye mukyale kukunkagula unguluve.
as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge.
15 Looli, muvisaghe vimike mumikalile agha vwumi vwinu vwoni, ndavule juno avakemelile vule mwimike.
But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you.
16 Ulwakuva lilembilue, “Muvesaghe vimike, ulwakuva une nilimwimike.”
Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy.
17 Kange ndave mukuntambula “Nhata” juno ikuvahigha avanhu vooni mumaghendele ghave, mujisiaghe nakuvingilila muvwumi vwinu vwoni
And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear;
18 Mugagwile vule muvangilue kuhuma mumaghendele ghiinu ghano naghanoghile ghano mulyupile kuvakuulu viinu, nalyavavangile ni finu fino finangike ndavule indalama nambe isahabu.
since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;
19 Looli muvangilue ni danda inalamu ija Yesu kilisite, ndavule ija ng'holo ija litekelo, isila vulema nambe lideha.
but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:
20 Ukilisite alyasalulilue kuhuma m'bukuuku ye jikyale kupelua iisi, neke mumasiki agha aghavusililo, amuhofisie vwimila umue.
who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;
21 Mukumwitika uNguluve vwimila umwene, juno u Nguluve alyansusisie kuhuma kuvafue nakumpeela uvuvaha kuuti mumwitikaghe na kukumuhuvila u Nguluve.
who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; 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.
while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;
23 Muholilue vupia, nakwekuti kuholua kim'bili ghuno ghufua ulwene muholilue kuuva nu vwumi uvusila kusila, mungufu isalisio lya Nguluve ilyafighono fyoni. (aiōn g165)
like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 Ulwakuva “Amavili ghooni ghalindavule ilisoli, utogo lwake lwoni lulindavule ililuva lya lisoli. ilisoli linyala, ililuva lijoghotoka nakusanguka,
Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away;
