1 Petro 2
1 Kulwejo mubhute ku mbali obhunyake bhwona, obhujigi-jigi, olulimi, lifuwa na inyaika mbibhi.
Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
2 Lwa bhana abhalela omuligila amata ganu gali ge kisi age chinyamwoyo, koleleki ati mutule okukula mu Mwel,
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
3 alabha mwalojishe ati Latabhugenyi ni wa bhwana.
If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Nimuje ku mwene unu ali ebhui eyanga linu lilamile linu lyalemelwe na bhanu, mbe nawe elyo lyasolelwe na Nyamuanga na ni lya bhugusi bhulabhu mu mwene.
To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Emwe one muli lwa mabhui ganu gali maanga ganu agombwakwa ingulu kubha nyumba je chinyamwoyo, koleleki ati obhugabhisi obhwelu bhunu obhusosha echogo che chinyamwoyo chinu echikilisibhwa na Nyamuanga okulabha ku Yesu Kristo.
You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Amaandiko agaika kutya, “Lola, niteyeko ku Sayuni Libhui elya kukona, ingulu na linu lyasolelwe elyo bhugusi bhunene. wona wona unu kekilisha mu mwene atakwaika.”
Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
7 Kwibhyo echibhalo ni chemwe kwimwe emwe bhanu omwikilisha. Mbe nawe, “Libhui linu lyalemelwe na bhombaki, linu nilyo lyabhee ebhui ekulu Lya kukona”-
To you therefore which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 ne, ebhui elyo kwikujula no olutale lyo kwikujula.” Bhenene abhekujula, bhanu abhagulema omusango, ku gulya gunu one bhaliga bhasolelwe kwijo.
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.
9 Mbe nawe emwe ni luganda lunu kwaliga lusolelwe, obhugabhisi bhwe chikayo, liyanga elyelu, abhanu bho bhutunge bhwa Nyamuanga, koleleki ati mutule okulasha ebhikolwa bhye bhilugusho ebhya uliya unu abhabhilikiye okusoka mu chisute no kuja mu bhwelu bhwaye obhwo kulugusha.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
10 Emwe okwamba mwaliga mutali bhanu, Mbe nawe woli emwe muli bhanu bha Nyamuanga. Emwe mutalamiye chigongo, mbe nawe woli mwalamiye echigongo.
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Abhendwa, nibhabhilikiye kuti bhagenyi na bhanu bhanu abhayega-yengala no kwiima kwemwe okwa inamba mbibhi eye chibhibhi, jinu ejilwanana ne Mioyo jemwe.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Kubheile mubhe na ntungwa je kisi mu maanga, koleleki ati, alabha bhakabhaika kuti ati mukolele misango mibhibhi, mbe bhakajilola emilimu jemwe jili jekisi no kumukuya Nyamuanga mu nsiku jo kuja kwaye.
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Nuwolobhele bhuli bhutungi bhwo mwanamunu ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, akabha ali mukama kuti mukulu,
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 akabha bhali bhatungi bhanu bhatumilwe okuja okubhanyasha bhanu abhakola amabhibhi no kubhakuya bhanu abhakola ejo bhwima.
Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 Kulwo kubha ni kwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ati kulwo kukola ebhye kisi omujibhisha jinyaika ja abhanu bhamumu bhanu bhali bhafila.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 Kuti bhanu bhanu bhasulumuywe, mwasiga kukolela obhusulumuywe bhwemwe kuti chinu cho kubhisamo amabhibhi, nawe mubhe kuti bhakosi bha Nyamuanga.
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Nimubholobhele abhanu bhona. Nimubhendega abhasu. Nimumubhayega Nyamuanga. Nimumwolobhelega omukama.
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Emwe abhagaya, nimubholobhelega bheso-bhugenyi bhemwe kwe bhibhalo bhyona, atali-la ati bheso-bhugenyi bhanu bhali bhekisi na bhololo, mbe nawe one bhanu bhali bhabhibhi.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.
19 Kulwo kubha ni chibhalo kuti wona wona akegumilisha ku bhwasibhwa mu mwanya gunu kanyaka kenuchitaliwo chimali ku nsonga yo mutima gwaye ku Nyamuanga.
For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 Ni mabhona-ki ganu galiwo mukabha nimugendelelala okukola ebhibhibhi okumala mugendelele okusimagisibhwa? Mbe nawe mukakola ebhye kisi ka niwo munyake kwo oulamula, chinu ni chibhalo che kisi mu Nyamuanga.
For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 Ku linu mubhilikiywe, ku nsonga Kristo one anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, abhasigiye echijejekanyo ingulu yemwe okulubha ebhigele bhyaye.
For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
22 Omwene atakolele chibhibhi, nolwo bhutabhonekene bhujigi-jigi bhwona bhwona ku munwa gwaye.
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Mu mwanya gunu mwenene afumilwe, atabhasubhisishe bhifumo, ejile anyaka, atakangilwe nawe esosishe mwenene ewaye omwene kalamula kwe chimali.
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
24 Mwenene omwene etwikile ebhibhibhi bhyeswe ku mubhili gwaye kwiti, koleleki ati chasiga kubha ne ebhala lindi mu chibhibhi, na ati chilame ingulu yo bhulengelesi. Kwo kubhumwa kwaye emwe NIMWIULILA.
Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
25 Bhona bhanu mwaliga nimuyege-yenga lwa inyabhalega inu yabhulile, mbe nawe wolyanu mwasubhile ku mulefi na mulindilie we Mioyo jemwe.
For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
