1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, unto the chosen pilgrims of the dispersion, throughout 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 [Chosen] according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, Favour unto 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, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among 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 Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you
Kono ichi ciyolo chisa maani, kese chive ni vuvi, kete ni chi mane. chivi kilwe inwe kwiwulu.
5 who, in God’s power, are being guarded through faith unto salvation—ready to be revealed in the last ripe time:
Mu silelezitwe cha maata a Ireenza che tumero, cho kuhazwa kulivelelwe kuvoneka kumani mani enako.
6 Wherein ye exult, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold temptations,
Mi usangite kuamana nezi, ni kuvavulyo kuswanela kuti nova lizuwi vuvi mu bukabo vushutana shutana.
7 In order that the proving of your faith—much more precious than of gold that perisheth even though, by means of fire, it is proved—may be found unto praise and glory and honour in the revealing 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 seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,
Kena muvamuvoni, kono mumusaka. Kamumu voni hanu, kono muzumina kwali ni mutavite ni tavo isawambiwa, inkanya ye tavo.
9 Being about to bear away the end of your faith—a salvation of souls:
Kono hanu mutambula kwenu bulyo mupuzo we tumelo yenu, kuhazwa kwo luhuwo lwenu.
10 Concerning which salvation, prophets—who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy—sought out and searched out,
Vafolofita vava sakisisi ni kwiza ahulu kuamana zo kuhazwa, kuamaana ni chisemo chese chibe cenu.
11 Searching into what particular, or what manner, of season the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when witnessing beforehand as to—The sufferings, for Christ, and the glories, after these, —
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 Unto whom it was revealed—that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.
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 Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, keeping sober, perseveringly direct your hope unto the favour, being borne along to you, in the revealing of Jesus Christ:
Cwale mutende muzezo yenu hande. Musiye kukolwa. Muvike isepo yose muchisemo chileta kwi ziveka kwa Jesu Krisite.
14 As obedient persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings in your ignorance:
Ha tuli tuvana ve chilila, musiye ku swana itakazo nezina zimuvali kwichilile ni musezi niti.
15 But, according as he that hath called you is holy, do, ye yourselves, also become, holy in all manner of behaviour, —
Kono iye avamisupi u jolola, inwe, nanwe, mujolole mumaikuto enu wonse.
16 Inasmuch as it is written—Holy shall ye be, because, I, am holy.
Kakuli kuñoletwe, “Mu jolole, kakuli ime ni jolola.”
17 And, if, as Father, ye are invoking him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to each man’s work, with reverence, for the time of your sojourning, behave ye;
Mi hamusupa “Ishetu” iye yenke uyatula zwimwi ni ku sena isovozi kuamana ni mutendo wo mutu, muhinde inako mumusipili ni sabo.
18 Knowing that, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down,
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, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One, —
Hakuli vulyo, u va hazwa ni malaha avutokwa a Krisite, avali kuswana ni imbelele isena chivata.
20 Foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but made manifest at a last stage of the times, for the sake of you
Krisite ava saliwa pili ni misumo ye kanda, kono hanu chali zivahalisa kwenu mwinako ya manimani.
21 who, through him, are faithful towards God, —Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards God:
Chakwe muzumina kwe Ireenza, ava muvusi kuvafu mi kuvamwi chavaha ikanya kuti itumero yavo ni sepo ive kwe Ireenza.
22 Having purified, your souls, by the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly;
Muvatendi luhuwo lwenu kujolola choku zumina kwi niti. Ichi chivalikutenda mulelo wo vulikani mwi rato, cwale mulisake ahulu mwi kulo.
23 Having been regenerated—Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible—through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God; (aiōn g165)
Linu mu vanzalwa chihya, isini ketanga ivola, kono che tanga isavoli, muvuhalo ni lizwi lye Ireenza likalilila. (aiōn g165)
24 Inasmuch as—All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, —The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,
Ke “nyama yonse iswana sina lyani, ni ikanya yateni yonse iswana nipalisa ya lyani. Lyani lizuma, ni palisa ziwila hasi,
