1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
Njame Petulo, musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu. Ndalembenga iyi kalata kuli njamwe mwasalwa ne Lesa mulekalangeti bensu mubimpansha byaku Ponto, ne ku Galatiya, neku Kapadokiya, neku Asiya kayi neku Bituniya.
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.
Kwelana ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Bata kwesula kufuminowa kumatatikilo mwalasalwa kayi mwalaswepeshewa ne Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti mube beshikunyumfwila Yesu Klistu, mwalasukwa ne milopa yakendi. Lesa amunyumfwile nkumbo ne kumupa lumuno lwesula.
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,
Tulumbe Lesa Baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Pakwinga mukufula kwa nkumbo shakendi, walatupa buyumi bwa linolino pakumupundusha Yesu Klistu kubafu. Neco tukute lushomo lwayuma nta,
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
lwakwambeti nitukatambule colwe cabintu byaina Lesa mbyabambila bantu bakendi kwilu, uko nkweshi bikabule kubola, nambi kwipishiwa, nambi kushimangana.
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
Ibi bintu nibyenu, kupitila mulushomo, byabambwa cena mungofu sha Lesa kwambeti mukatambule lupulusho ulo lulipepi kuboneka pacindi camapwililisho.
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
Ibi kabimukondweleshani nambi pacino cindi mucane mapensho ne kwelekeshewa kwapusanapusana.
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:
Ibi ni bishikubonesheti lushomo lwenu ni lwancinencine. Nambi golide ukute konongeka ukute kwengeka nemulilo, nalo lushomo lwenu ulo lwapita golide, lwela kwelekeshewa kwambeti lucanike kuba lwancinencine. Mwenseco nimukatambule kulumbwa, ne bulemu pabusuba mbweshakayubuluke Yesu Klistu.
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;
Nambi ntamuna mumubonapo, nsombi mumusuni. Nambi pacindi cino nkamulamubononga mwamushoma, kayi mwakondwa citambiki.
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Pakwinseco mulatambulunga cilambo ca lushomo, uku ekwambeti lupulusho lwenu.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
Bashinshimi balambapo sha cilambo calupulusho ndweshimukatambule, balo balalangaula mwabuya lupulusho ulu, Lesa ndwetamupe.
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:
Mushimu wa Klistu walikuba mulyendibo walikwambila limo sha byeshikubaba Klistu mbyeshakanyumfwe, kayi ne bulemu mbweshakabe nabo panyuma pakendi. Bashinshimi balikuyanda kwishiba cindi kayi ne moti bikenshikilenga.
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.
Lesa walabayubulwila kwambeti ncito njobalikwinsa nkayalikuba yakuyanda bene, nsombi balikwinshilamwe, mpobalikwamba bintu ibyo mbyemulanyumfunga kuli batumwa bakendi balakambaukunga Mulumbe Waina kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa walafuma kwilu. Ibi ebintu nabo bangelo mbyebalikuyanda kwishiba.
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,
Eco cakendi myoyo yenu ibe yalibambila. Kamubani babangamana. Bikani lushomo lwenu lonse pa colwe nceshi mukapewe Yesu Klistu akayubuluka.
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
Nyumfwilani Lesa, kamutaleka buyumi bwenu kubumbwa nelunkumbwa ndomwalikukute kamutana mwishiba Klistu.
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
Mbuli Lesa ncali waswepa uyo walamukuwa, nenjamwe kamubani baswepa mumikalilo yenu yonse.
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
Mabala alambangeti, “Kamubani baswepa myoyo mbuli Ame ncendaswepa moyo.”
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.
Lesa liya lusalululo. Ukute kombolosha uliyense kwelana ne micito yakendi. Mwambangeti, Ta pakupaila, mupeni bulemu cindi conse ncomulicili panshi pano.
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
Mucishi cena ncalasebenshesha pakumulubula ku mikalilo yaipa njemwalatambula kufumina ku bamashali benu. Liya kumulubula ne mali asa akute konongeka, silifa nambi golide sobwe.
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
Walamulubula ne milopa ya Klistu yamulo wadula, uyo walalibengeti M wanambelele wabula cibala nambi bulema.
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
Lesa walamusalilalimo cishi capanshi citana cilengwa, nomba lamuyubululu mumasuba ano akupwililisha cebo canjamwe.
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.
Kupitila mulyendiye, mulashomonga Lesa walamupundusha kubafu, nekumupa bulemu. Neco lushomo ne kupembelela kwenu bili pali Lesa.
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
Mulaswepeshe myoyo yenu pakunyumfwa cancinencine, kwambeti munyumfwanenga ne baklistu banenu. Ecebo cakendi mwela kusunana nemoyo wonse.
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Pakwinga mulenshi kusemwa tubili, buyumi bwakendi nkabulafumunga mu mbuto ya mushali ukute kufwa sobwe, nsombi mu mbuto itafu, iyo mbuto ni maswi a Lesa, maswi abuyumi eshakabule kupwa. (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.
Mbuli Mabala a Lesa, alambangeti, “Bantu bonse balyeti mila, bulemu bwabo bulyeti maluba amucisuwa. Mila ikute kuyuma, nawo maluba akute kunyana.
