1 Peteru 1
1 Neni Peteru, ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu, nankuwalembera mwenga wantu yawasyagulitwi na Mlungu Tati, wantu yampalanganyikiti na kulikala gambira watugira isi aku Pontu na Galatiya na Kapadokiya na Asiya na Bituniya.
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,
2 Mlungu Tati kawasyaguliti mwenga kulawirana na ntambu yakafira mweni, na mpungwa kwa Rohu, mpati kumjimira Yesu Kristu na kumishirwa kwa mwazi gwakuwi. Manemu na ponga gavuwa gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
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.
3 Tumkwisi Mlungu na Tati gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu! Kwa lusungu lwakuwi likulu katupanana twenga ukomu wa syayi kwa kumzyukisiya Yesu Kristu. Katupanana litumbiru lyanakaka,
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,
4 su twankulolera uhala wa matekeleru ga Mlungu, matekeleru yagawola ndiri na yagahera uhakata na galii yaganyala ndiri. Mlungu kawatulira kumpindi matekeleru aga.
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Na mwenga mlolerwa weri na makakala ga Mlungu kwa njira ya njimiru toziya ya ulopoziya yauwera kala kugubutulwa mumashaka ga upeleru.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Munemeleri mushitwatira ashi, paiwera vinu kwa shipindi shididini hamfiruwi kuhinginiki toziya ya majeru ga ntambu yingiyingi yamtabika.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
7 Majeru aga lengu lyakuwi ndo kulanguziya nakaka njimiru yenu, yaiwera na mana nentu kuliku zahabu yeni tembera ata payiwora ijerisiwa kwa motu. Toziya ayi mwenga hampati uzyumi na ligoya na ukwisa, lishaka lilii Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
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 honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
8 Mwenga mwankumfira yomberi tembera mumwoniti ndiri, na mumjimira tembera mumwona ndiri vinu. Su munemelera kwa ukwisa yawutakulika ndiri,
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,
9 toziya mwankuwanka ulopoziya wa rohu zyenu, wawuwera lengu lya njimiru yenu.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Wambuyi wa Mlungu yawatungiti kuusu manemu geni hagaweri ga nakaka kwa mwenga, wasakuliti na kukosiya kosiya kuusu ulopoziya awu,
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 womberi wafiriti kushimana shipindi na ntambu yashiwera, shipindi pakatakuliti Rohu gwa Kristu yakaweriti mngati mwawu, pakatunga kuusu ntabika hayimpati Kristu na ukwisa yawuwiza.
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.
12 Mlungu kawagubuturiti wambuyi wakuwi kuwera ujumbi ulii yawaubweriti, walibweleriti ndiri weni kumbiti wawabweleriti mwenga Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa makakala ga Rohu Mnanagala yakatumitwi kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, lihengu ali liwera ndiri na mota yawu weni kumbiti kwajili ya mwenga. Ata wantumintumi wa kumpindi mewafiri kuvimana vitwatira avi.
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.
13 Su muweri kala nakamu na kulikala masu. Mlituli litumbiru lyenu lyoseri mumanemu galii hampananwi shipindi Yesu Kristu pakagubutulwa.
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—
14 Gambira wana wa Mlungu yawajimira, namujimira nakamu kufata kayi matamata zidoda zyamuweriti nazu pamuwumaniti ndiri unakaka wa Mlungu.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Kumbiti yomberi yakawashemiti ndo mnanagala, su mwenga muweri wananagala muvyoseri vyamutenda.
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behaviour,
16 Toziya Malembu Mananagala galembwa, “Muweri wananagala toziya neni ndo mnanagala.”
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Pamumkanda Mlungu, mwenga mumshema Tati. Su muvimani kuwera yomberi kamtoza kila yumu kulawirana na matendu gakuwi pota kubagula, mwendereyi kumjimira Mlungu pamulikala gambira wahenga pasipanu.
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,
18 Toziya muvimana kuwera mwenga mlopoziwitwi mumgenderanu gwenu yagufaa ndiri yagumuwankiti kulawa kwa wazewi wenu. Kumbiti mlopoziwiti ndiri kwa vintu vyaviharabika, kwa mpiya ama zahabu,
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 kumbiti kwa mwazi gwa mana nentu gwa Kristu, yakaweriti gambira mwana kondolu yakahera shilema ama lidowa.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
20 Yomberi kasyagulitwi na Mlungu pamberi pa kunyawa pasipanu, kumbiti kagubutulitwi mumashaka aga ga upeleru toziya ya mwenga.
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
21 Kwa njira yakuwi mwenga mwankumjimira Mlungu yakamzyukisiyiti na kumpanana ukwisa, su njimiru yenu na litumbiru lyenu viwera kwa Mlungu.
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.
22 Vinu mwenga mulipunga maweni kwa kuujimira unakaka, su mwenga muwafira nakaka wayenu pota na ufyangu, su mulifiri nakamu kwa moyu gwoseri.
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,
23 Toziya mpananitwi ukomu wa syayi, ulii yawulawiti ndiri mumbeyu yayiharabika, kumbiti kulawa mumbeyu yayiharabika ndiri kwa njira ya ujumbi wa Mlungu yawuwera ukomu na wa mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Kila muntu kalifana na mahamba, na ukwisa wakuwi woseri ulifana na uluwa wa mahamba. Mahamba ganyala, na uluwa utuluka.
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;
