< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petelo, Mitumi wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kua kila nzila nia usambailo, kua iholanigwa, naiakoli ku Ponto ihii, Kugalatia, Kapadokia, Asia ni Bithinia.
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
Kunsoko auhugu wang'wi Tunda. Tata, kua kogigwa nung'waung'welu, kikulyo lang'wa Yesu Kilisto, nuku sansangilwa Isakami akwe, Ukende utule kitalanyu, nupolo wanyu wongeeleke.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Itunda Tata wa Mukulu witu Yesu Kilisto akembetwe Mukulu nuaupegwa wakwe nuanakanda, au kupee kutugwa upya, kuugimya nuusali kukiila uuki wang'wa Yesu Kilisto kuhega muashi,
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
usali nishaukulimansila, shaukutula nikisoita hangi shaukukepa uikilwe kilunde kunsoko anyu.
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Kuuhumi wang'wi Tunda mukusungigwa kukiila uhuili nuuguniki uo nunoneigwe kukunukulwa numatungo ampelo.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
Lumbiili kua ili, atizemulita kinyauwai itungili. Kitalanyu mumageng'wa aya.
7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Iyi ngi kunsoko uhuili wanyu uhume kugeng'wa, uhuili uo nukite insao kukila idhahabu iyo niliimila mumoto nigema uhuili witu. Iyi ipumila kunsoko uhuili witu uhumi kutuga intendo ninza, ukulu nikulyo nila muuki nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto.
8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
Shamumuine kunu mumuloilwe, shamumuine itungili kunu muhuie kutalakue hangi mukite ulumbi nukilinkie, nukua ulumbi nuizuig'we nuukulu nuakigulu.
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Itungili mukusingiilya impelo au huili wanyu, uguniki wa nkolo yanyu.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Ianyakidagu akuduma, nukukolya uulya nua uguniki uwu, kuukende nauzetula kitalanyu.
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
Akaduma kulinga izezewiule uuguniki uu nauziziza. Akaduma hangi kulinga matungo ki ung'waung'welu wang'wa Kilisto nukoli mitalao aukuligitya ntuninienso. Ili ailupumila matungo naizawazeaila ung'wandyo kina uagigwi wang'wa Kilisto nuukulu nuuze mutyata.
12 To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Ikakunukulwa kuanyakidagu kuza aitumila munkani zizi, hangi singa kunsoko itu, ao mahumo na nkani izi kukiila ao naialetile ulukani lang'wa Kilisto kitalanyu kunzila ang'wa ng'waung'welu nautumilwe kupuma kigulu, inkani izi ingi ataiamalaika akulowa kukunukulwa kitalakwe.
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Kululo tungi ilino niamahala anyu, mutule miapolo mumasigo anyu, mutula nuugimya nuukendo uo nauletilwa kitalanyu imatungo nakukunukuilwa u Yesu Kilisto.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
Anga iang'enya niakete ikilyo, muleke kutungwa ni nsula izo nai mutyatile imatungo naimukili miagila imahala.
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
Kululo anga naimilangilwe nuyu numuza, nunye, mutule miaza, ni ntendo yanyu yihi muikali.
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Kunsoko yandikilwe, mutule miaza, kunsoko unene ni muza.
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
Ang'wi mukitanga “Tata” uyu nuilamula itai kuitumi wa kila umuntu, itumile imatungo na muhinzo ako muuza.
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Mulingile kina singa ai mpia ang'wi dhahabu, maintu nigazika ayo nimugunilwe kupuma muntendo yanyu nia upugu, izo naimimanyisilye kupuma kua tata anyu.
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
Kululo mugunilwe nasakami iyi ni kulyo lang'wa Kilisto, anga na nkolo ningila uwilu ni bado.
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
Ukilisto aukoli ka nu ng'wandyo wa unkuloigulu aukili, ingi gwa itungili imahiku aya nampelo wakunukulwa kitalanyu.
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Mumuhuie Itunda kukiila ng'wenso, ni Tunda aumutyatile kupuma kuashi hangi naumupee ukulu kina uhuili wanyu nugimya wanyu utule kung'wi Tunda.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
Mitumile inkolo yanyu kutula nzelu kua ugombi nua tai iyo, kunsoko au lowi nuakinyandugu nuugoloki, kululo ilowi kungulu kupuma munkolo yanyu.
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Malelwa kulukangala laka biili, singa kumbeu nigazika, ingi kupuma kumbeu nisinga igazika, kukiila upanga nulukani lang'wi Tunda nulusagiie. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
Kunsoko, imiili ihi anga imatutu nuukulu wakwe anga iua niti tutu. Itutu linyala iua ligwiza.
25 but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you. (aiōn g165)
Kululo ulukani la mukulu lisiga ikalinakali ulu ailukani nailutanantigwe kitalanyu. (aiōn g165)
