1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, unto the chosen pilgrims of the dispersion, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, —
Nne a Petili, ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya nng'agulwenje na Atati a Nnungu, bhajeninji nshilambolyo mmutushilenje ku nkoa gwa ku Ponto na ku nkoa gwa ku Galatia na ku Kapadokia na ku Ashia na ku Bhishinia.
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!
Atati a Nnungu bhashinkutumbilila kunng'agulanga mmanganya kuumila bhukalago na mwashinkutakaywanga nagwe Mbumu, kupinga mwaakundanje a Yeshu Kilishitu na nkonjeleywanje na minyai jabho. Ngunakunnjujilanga nnjeshewanje mboka na ulele.
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,
Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu Atati bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu! Kwa shiya shabho shikulungwa bhashikututenda tupate gumi gwa ambi kwa kwaayuya a Yeshu Kilishitu kukopoka bhakaweje. Bhatupele ngulupai ya kweli,
4 Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you
kwa nneyo tunalindilila ulishi gubhaabhishilenje a Nnungu bhandunji bhabho. A Nnungu bhashikummishilanga gwene ulishigo kunnungu na kweneko ukabhola, ukaangabhanika na wala ukajumula.
5 who, in God’s power, are being guarded through faith unto salvation—ready to be revealed in the last ripe time:
Yeneyo shiibhe yenunji mmanganya kwa ngulupai nnatamangana muulinda gwa mashili ga a Nnungu mpaka muupatanje ntapulo upinga langulwa kumpelo gwa yaka.
6 Wherein ye exult, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold temptations,
Nng'angalalanje kwa genego, ikabheje kwa malanga gashoko ga nnaino gano, nkaangalala ukoto kwa ligongo lya mboteko ya malinjilo gamagwinji,
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, —
malinjilo nkupinga nkong'ondelanje ngulupai yenunji. Shaabhu nkali jiangabhanikayo jinalingwa pa moto, na malinga ngulupai jenunji jili ja mana kupunda shaabhu, jinapinjikwa jilingwe jimanyishe gwa mmbone gwakwe. Penepo shinnumbililwanje na kuywa na ishimika lyubha lishibhabhoneshe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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,
Nkali nkanabhe kwabhonangayo, mmanganyanji nnakwaakulupalilanga nkali nkakwaabhonanga nnainoyo. Kwa nneyo nnakwiinonyelenga kwa kaje numbe kwangatendeka kutalashiywa,
9 Being about to bear away the end of your faith—a salvation of souls:
pabha nnapatanga ntapulo gwa mitima jenunji na shitumbililwe nngulupai jenunji.
10 Concerning which salvation, prophets—who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy—sought out and searched out,
Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhashinkuloleyanga na kagulila ga gwene ntapulogo, gubhalondolenje ga mboka jipinga kunng'ishilanga mmanganya.
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, —
Gubhalinjilenje kuloleya malanga na miongwe gugapinga koposhela genego. Yani malanga galugwile Mbumu jwa a Kilishitu aliji nkati jabhonji, alilondola ga mboteko ipinga kwaapata a Kilishitu na ukonjelo upinga kagula gapitaga genego.
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.
A Nnungu bhashikwaunukulilanga bhamumanyanje kuti pubhabheleketangaga gene gumpilikenenje mmanganya kukopoka kwa ashintume. Bhene bhannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atumilwe kukopoka kunnungu. Lyene liengolyo likaliji kwa ligongo lyabhonji ashaayene, ikabhe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganya. Genego nkali ashimalaika bha a Nnungu bhatendaga pinganga bhagabhonanje.
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:
Kwa nneyo, bhai, mwishimilikanje na nsheyanje. Nnolelanje nema jinkupinga poshelanga pushibhaishe a Yeshu Kilishitu.
14 As obedient persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings in your ignorance:
Nkundanje ga a Nnungu, nnakaguyanje kutenda yangali ya mmbone imwatendangaga bhukala pumwalinginji mabhelu.
15 But, according as he that hath called you is holy, do, ye yourselves, also become, holy in all manner of behaviour, —
Ikabhe malinga bhayene bhanshemilenje shibhali bha ukonjelo, nnapinjikwanga mmanganje mma ukonjelo.
16 Inasmuch as it is written—Holy shall ye be, because, I, am holy.
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Mmanganje mma ukonjelo, pabha nne najwa ukonjelo.”
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;
Na ibhaga a Nnungu bhunkwashemanga Atati, bhai mmumanyanje kuti bhenebho bhanaukumula bhandu bhowe kwa itendi yabhonji, gwangali kuagulanya. Kwa nneyo ntamangane kwa lipamba lya kwaajogopa a Nnungu kwa mobha genunjiga tama mbuti bhajeninji pa shilambolyo pano.
18 Knowing that, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down,
Na mmanganya mmumanyinji kuti nshigombolwanga kukopoka ku gwangali gwa mmbone gwenunji gumwauposhelenje kukopoka kwa ashainabhenunji. Numbe mmangagombolwanga kwa indu iangabhanika, ela na shaabhu,
19 But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One, —
ikabhe kwa minyai ja mmbone ja a Kilishitu, bhaaliji malinga mwana ngondolo jwa mmbone na jwangali ilebho.
20 Foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but made manifest at a last stage of the times, for the sake of you
Bhenebho bhashinkuagulwa na a Nnungu kutandubhila bhukala, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, ikabheje kuyaka ya kumpelo ino gubhalangwilwe kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji.
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:
Kwa ligongo lya bhenebho, nnakwakulupalilanga a Nnungu bhaayushiye bhenebho bhakaweje nikwaapa ukonjelo. Kwa nneyo ngulupai yenunji ibhe kwa a Nnungu.
22 Having purified, your souls, by the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly;
Pabha nnaino, nshikundanga majiganyo ga kweli ga a Yeshu Kilishitu, mmanganya mwiikonjeleyenje mmitima jenunji na kwaapinganga bhandu ajenunji gwangali ya kwilambilila, bhai, mpingananje mpaka mmitima.
23 Having been regenerated—Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible—through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God; (aiōn g165)
Pabha nshibhelekwanga gwabhili, nngabha kwa mmbeju yawa, ikabhe kwa mmbeju yangawa, kwa lilobhe lya a Nnungu likwete gumi, litama pitipiti. (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,
Na malinga Majandiko shigakuti bheleketa. “Bhandunji bhowe malinga manyai, na ukonjelo gwakwe gowe na malinga lilubha lya manyai. Manyai ganajumula na malubha ganapakatika.
