1 Petro 2
1 Kulwejo mubhute ku mbali obhunyake bhwona, obhujigi-jigi, olulimi, lifuwa na inyaika mbibhi.
Therefore, cease ye from all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisy, and envy, and backbiting.
2 Lwa bhana abhalela omuligila amata ganu gali ge kisi age chinyamwoyo, koleleki ati mutule okukula mu Mwel,
And be like infant children; and crave the word, as being the pure spiritual milk by which ye are nourished up to life;
3 alabha mwalojishe ati Latabhugenyi ni wa bhwana.
if ye have tasted and seen that the Lord is good:
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 ye have come, because he is a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God elect 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.
And ye also, as living stones, are builded and become spiritual temples, and holy priests, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices, acceptable before God, through Jesus the Messiah.
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.”
For it is said in the scripture, Behold, in Zion I lay a chosen and precious stone, for the head of the corner; and whoever believeth in him, will not be ashamed.
7 Kwibhyo echibhalo ni chemwe kwimwe emwe bhanu omwikilisha. Mbe nawe, “Libhui linu lyalemelwe na bhombaki, linu nilyo lyabhee ebhui ekulu Lya kukona”-
On you therefore who believe, is this honor conferred: but to them who believe not,
8 ne, ebhui elyo kwikujula no olutale lyo kwikujula.” Bhenene abhekujula, bhanu abhagulema omusango, ku gulya gunu one bhaliga bhasolelwe kwijo.
he is a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence. And they stumble at it, because they believe not the word: whereto 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 ye are an elect race, officiating as priests of the kingdom; a holy people, a redeemed congregation; that ye should proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness to his precious light:
10 Emwe okwamba mwaliga mutali bhanu, Mbe nawe woli emwe muli bhanu bha Nyamuanga. Emwe mutalamiye chigongo, mbe nawe woli mwalamiye echigongo.
who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you.
11 Abhendwa, nibhabhilikiye kuti bhagenyi na bhanu bhanu abhayega-yengala no kwiima kwemwe okwa inamba mbibhi eye chibhibhi, jinu ejilwanana ne Mioyo jemwe.
My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they 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.
And let your behavior be decorous before all men; so that they who utter evil speeches against you, may see your good actions, and may praise God in the day of trial.
13 Nuwolobhele bhuli bhutungi bhwo mwanamunu ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, akabha ali mukama kuti mukulu,
And be ye submissive to all the sons of men, for God's sake; to kings, on account of their authority;
14 akabha bhali bhatungi bhanu bhatumilwe okuja okubhanyasha bhanu abhakola amabhibhi no kubhakuya bhanu abhakola ejo bhwima.
and to judges, because they are sent by him for the punishment of offenders, 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 pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God:
16 Kuti bhanu bhanu bhasulumuywe, mwasiga kukolela obhusulumuywe bhwemwe kuti chinu cho kubhisamo amabhibhi, nawe mubhe kuti bhakosi bha Nyamuanga.
as free men, yet not like men who make their freedom a cloak for their wickedness, but as the servants of God.
17 Nimubholobhele abhanu bhona. Nimubhendega abhasu. Nimumubhayega Nyamuanga. Nimumwolobhelega omukama.
Honor all men; love your brethren; fear God; and honor kings.
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.
And those among you who are servants, be subject to your masters, with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh and morose.
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 there is favor before God for them who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure sorrows that come upon them 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.
But they who endure afflictions on account of their offences, what praise have they? But if, when ye do well, they vex you, and ye endure it; then great is your praise with God.
21 Ku linu mubhilikiywe, ku nsonga Kristo one anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, abhasigiye echijejekanyo ingulu yemwe okulubha ebhigele bhyaye.
For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps.
22 Omwene atakolele chibhibhi, nolwo bhutabhonekene bhujigi-jigi bhwona bhwona ku munwa gwaye.
He 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.
When he was reviled, be reviled not; and he suffered and threatened not, but committed his cause to the Judge of righteousness.
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.
And he took away all our sins, and, in his body, lifted them to the cross; that we, when dead to sin, might live by his righteousness: for by his wounds, ye are healed.
25 Bhona bhanu mwaliga nimuyege-yenga lwa inyabhalega inu yabhulile, mbe nawe wolyanu mwasubhile ku mulefi na mulindilie we Mioyo jemwe.
For ye, once went astray, like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Curator of your souls.
