1 Petro 2
1 Kulwejo mubhute ku mbali obhunyake bhwona, obhujigi-jigi, olulimi, lifuwa na inyaika mbibhi.
Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 Lwa bhana abhalela omuligila amata ganu gali ge kisi age chinyamwoyo, koleleki ati mutule okukula mu Mwel,
as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 alabha mwalojishe ati Latabhugenyi ni wa bhwana.
if indeed 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.
Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, 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 living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through 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.”
Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 Kwibhyo echibhalo ni chemwe kwimwe emwe bhanu omwikilisha. Mbe nawe, “Libhui linu lyalemelwe na bhombaki, linu nilyo lyabhee ebhui ekulu Lya kukona”-
For you who believe therefore is the honour, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 ne, ebhui elyo kwikujula no olutale lyo kwikujula.” Bhenene abhekujula, bhanu abhagulema omusango, ku gulya gunu one bhaliga bhasolelwe kwijo.
and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offence.” For they 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 race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
10 Emwe okwamba mwaliga mutali bhanu, Mbe nawe woli emwe muli bhanu bha Nyamuanga. Emwe mutalamiye chigongo, mbe nawe woli mwalamiye echigongo.
In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who 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.
Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to 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 good behaviour amongst the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Nuwolobhele bhuli bhutungi bhwo mwanamunu ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, akabha ali mukama kuti mukulu,
Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether 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 sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Kulwo kubha ni kwenda kwa Nyamuanga, ati kulwo kukola ebhye kisi omujibhisha jinyaika ja abhanu bhamumu bhanu bhali bhafila.
For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should 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.
Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Nimubholobhele abhanu bhona. Nimubhendega abhasu. Nimumubhayega Nyamuanga. Nimumwolobhelega omukama.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour 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 in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
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 it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience towards God.
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 sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 Ku linu mubhilikiywe, ku nsonga Kristo one anyasibhwe ingulu yeswe, abhasigiye echijejekanyo ingulu yemwe okulubha ebhigele bhyaye.
For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 Omwene atakolele chibhibhi, nolwo bhutabhonekene bhujigi-jigi bhwona bhwona ku munwa gwaye.
who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit 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 cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who 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.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
25 Bhona bhanu mwaliga nimuyege-yenga lwa inyabhalega inu yabhulile, mbe nawe wolyanu mwasubhile ku mulefi na mulindilie we Mioyo jemwe.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
