1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
Pita, mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito, kubenzu bamwaikilide kumanyika, ibasalidwe, koonse ku Pontasi, Galantiya, Kkapadosiya, Eziya, aku Bbitiniya.
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
Eechi chilimumabambe amumakanze a Leza Taata, mukwinda mumubeleko usalazigwa a Muuya, kuti mumutelele alubo mukwinda mukusansailwa bulowa bwa Jesu Kkilisito. Iluzyalo ngalube alindinywe, alubo lumuuno ngaluyungizizigwe kulindinywe.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Akube kuti Leza wisi wa-Mwami Jesu Kkilisito alumbayizigwe! Muluzyalo lwakwe lupati, wakatupa kuzyalwa kupya iswebo bulabulangizi bwabuponi kwinda mububuke bwa Jesu Kkilisito kuzwa kubafu.
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
Eechi nchalukkono lutakabule kumana pe, lutakabule akabbata, alubo talukonzyi pe kuyokulumpana abunini. Lulibambidwe kujulu kalulinda nduwe.
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
Iwebo ulikwabilidwe munguzu zya-Leza kwinda mukusyoma kwalufutuko olo lwimvwilidi kuyoyubununwa mukugola kwechindi.
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
Ulikondedwe atala acheechi, nekuba kwalino kulelede kuti mube akuusa kukusunkwa kwiingi.
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Echi chilabawo kuti kukabonwe lusyomo lwanu, olu lwindide ngolida mbotu ikulumpala, nekuba yakawumpwa mumulilo. Echi chilachitika kuti lusyomo lwanu lukajanike kalulempindu ilentembawuzyo, abulemu, achilemeko ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
Tamuna kumubona pe, pesi mulamuyanda. Tamumuboni pe kwalino, pesi mulasyoma mulinguwe akukondwa alukondo lutambiiki luzwide bulemu.
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Kwalino muyolitambwida lwenu mpindu yalusyomo lwanu, lufutuko lwa muuya yenu.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
Ataala alufutuko olu, basinsiimi abo bakasinsima atala aluzyalo olo lwakali kuyanda kuza alindinywe, bakayandula chabusungu kabayanda kuziba,
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
Kabayandula kuziba kuti muntunzi nakuti chinoli chiindiinzi echo muuya wa Kkilisito nchiwakalikwamba mulimbabo awo mpakabambilide kuti katana kwabwa kuyoba machise a Kkilisito abulemu buyotobela.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
Chakayubununwa kulimbabo kuti tebakali kulibelekela lwabo beni pe, pesi anywebo, awo mpobakali kwamba atala azintu ezyo zyakambwa kulindinywe ababo bamukambawukila mulumbe wamakani mabotu kulindinywe kwinda ku-Muuya Uusalala wakatumwa kuzwa kujulu-kachili chintu baangelo nchibakali kulakamizya {kupeekezya}.
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Nkikaako amulyaange muzibuno zyanu zyakuyeeya kwenu. Amube babotu. Amubike bulangizi bwenu chakumaninina kuluzyalo olo luyoyetwa kulindinywe ayoyubununwa Jesu Kkilisito.
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
Mbuli bana bateelela, mutakabwedululi kukuyandisya kwenu nkumwakali kuponena chiindi nimwakachili mukutaziba.
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
Nkambo kakuti oyo iwakamwiita ulasalala, inywebo, kulelede, kuti musalale mubube bwanu boonse.
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
Nkambo mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Amusalale, nkambo Ambebo ndasalala.”
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
Na kamumwita kuti “Taata” oyo ubeteka chakutalanga chiimo chamuntu alubo umwi mbuli milimo yakwe, amwende lwendo olu muchindi chanu chakumuyowa.
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
Mulizi kuti techakachitwa ansiliva ikulumpala na ingolida ezyo nzimwakali kununulwa ezyo kukwenda kwenu kwabuyo nkomwakiiya kuliba mawuso.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
Anukuti, nywebo mwakanunulwa abulowa bubotu bwa Kkilisito, oyo wakali m buli mwana wambelele utakwe kampenda nikaba kabbata.
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
Kkilisito wakalizibinkenwe kakutana kuba kulengwa kwenyika, pesi kwalino wakazoyubununwa kulindinywe muzyiindi zyamamanino.
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kwinda mulinguwe muzumine kuli Leza, oyo wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu akumupa bulemu, kuli lusyomo lwanu abulangizi bwenu bube kuli Leza.
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
Mwakachita myuya kuti ibote mukwinda mukutelela kukasimpe. Echi chakaba obo kukumwetela luyando lwababunyina; amukayandane umwi awumwi kazizwa mumoyo. Amwi malembe mapati abensiku bachiGiliki abalika obu, Mwakasalazya myoyo yanu kukutelela kukasimpe kwinda kumuya.
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Mwakazyalwa bupya, kutali kuzwa kumbuto ikulumpala pe, pesi kuzwa kumbuto itakulumpali, kwinda mujwi lya-Leza litakasyale kalipona (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
Nkambo kakuti, “Nyama yoonse ilimbuli bwizu, abulemu bwayo bonse bulimbuli malubaluba abwizu bwamusokwe. Ibwizu ngabwayuma, awalo malubaluba nganyana awidaansi,
