1 Peter 1
| 1:1 | Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, |
| 1:2 | in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you. |
| 1:3 | Atukuzwe Mungu na Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, ambaye kwa rehema zake nyingi alituzaa upya katika tumaini lenye uzima, kwa kufufuka kwake Yesu Kristo kutoka kwa wafu: |
| 1:4 | tupate urithi usioharibika, usiotiwa unajisi, usionyauka, ambayo ni akiba kwa ajili yenu mbinguni. |
| 1:5 | Kwa uwezo wa Mungu, mnalindwa kwa imani hata mpate wokovu ulio tayari kufunuliwa wakati wa mwisho. |
| 1:6 | Katika hili, unapaswa kufurahi, kama sasa, kwa muda mfupi, ni lazima kuhuzunishwa na majaribu mbalimbali, |
| 1:7 | ili imani yenu ijaribiwe, ambayo ni ya thamani zaidi kuliko dhahabu iliyojaribiwa kwa moto, inaweza kupatikana katika sifa na utukufu na heshima katika ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo. |
| 1:8 | Maana ingawa hamjamwona, unampenda. Ndani yake pia, ingawa humuoni, sasa unaamini. Na katika kuamini, utafurahi kwa furaha isiyoelezeka na tukufu, |
| 1:9 | kurudi kwa lengo la imani yako, wokovu wa roho. |
| 1:10 | Kuhusu wokovu huu, manabii waliuliza na kuchunguza kwa bidii, wale waliotabiri juu ya neema ya wakati ujao ndani yenu, |
| 1:11 | wakiuliza ni aina gani ya hali iliyoonyeshwa kwao na Roho wa Kristo, wakati wa kutabiri yale mateso yaliyo ndani ya Kristo, pamoja na utukufu unaofuata. |
| 1:12 | Kwao, ilifunuliwa kwamba walikuwa wakihudumu, si kwa ajili yao wenyewe, bali kwa ajili yenu yale mliyohubiriwa sasa na wale waliowahubiria Injili, kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye aliteremshwa kutoka mbinguni kwa Yule ambaye Malaika wanataka kumtazama. |
| 1:13 | Kwa sababu hii, jifunge kiuno cha akili yako, kuwa na kiasi, na kuitumainia kwa utimilifu ile neema iliyotolewa kwenu katika ufunuo wa Yesu Kristo. |
| 1:14 | Iweni kama wana wa utii, kutofuata matamanio ya ujinga wako wa kwanza, |
| 1:15 | bali sawasawa na yeye aliyewaita: Mtakatifu. Na katika kila tabia, wewe mwenyewe lazima uwe mtakatifu, |
| 1:16 | kwa maana imeandikwa: “Mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa maana mimi ni Mtakatifu.” |
| 1:17 | Na ikiwa unamwita Baba yeye ambaye, bila kuonyesha upendeleo kwa watu, huhukumu kulingana na kazi ya kila mtu, basi tenda kwa hofu wakati wa kukaa kwako hapa. |
| 1:18 | Maana mnajua kwamba mlikombolewa si kwa dhahabu au fedha iharibikayo, mkaacha tabia zenu zisizofaa kwa kuyafuata mapokeo ya baba zenu., |
| 1:19 | bali ilikuwa kwa damu ya thamani ya Kristo, mwana-kondoo safi na asiye na unajisi, |
| 1:20 | inayojulikana, hakika, kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu, na kudhihirishwa nyakati hizi za mwisho kwa ajili yenu. |
| 1:21 | Kupitia yeye, umekuwa mwaminifu kwa Mungu, ambaye alimfufua kutoka kwa wafu na kumpa utukufu, ili imani na tumaini lenu liwe kwa Mungu. |
| 1:22 | Basi ziadhibuni nafsi zenu kwa ut'iifu wa sadaka, katika upendo wa kindugu, na pendaneni kwa moyo mwepesi, kwa makini. |
| 1:23 | Kwa maana umezaliwa mara ya pili, si kutoka kwa mbegu iharibikayo, bali kutokana na kile kisichoharibika, kutoka kwa Neno la Mungu, kuishi na kubaki milele. |
| 1:24 | Kwa maana wote wenye mwili ni kama majani na utukufu wake wote ni kama ua la majani. Nyasi hunyauka na ua lake huanguka. |
| 1:25 | Lakini Neno la Bwana hudumu hata milele. Na hili ndilo Neno ambalo limehubiriwa kwako. |
1 Peter 2
| 2:1 | Kwa hiyo, set aside all malice and all deceitfulness, as well as falseness and envy and every detraction. |
| 2:2 | Kama watoto wachanga waliozaliwa, tamanini maziwa ya akili bila hila, ili kwa hili mpate kuongezeka hata mpate wokovu, |
| 2:3 | ikiwa ni kweli kwamba umeonja ya kwamba Bwana ni mtamu. |
| 2:4 | Na kumsogelea kana kwamba ni jiwe lililo hai, kukataliwa na wanaume, hakika, bali ni wateule na wanaoheshimiwa na Mungu, |
| 2:5 | ninyi pia iweni kama mawe yaliyo hai, kujengwa juu yake, nyumba ya kiroho, ukuhani mtakatifu, ili kutoa dhabihu za kiroho, kibali cha Mungu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo. |
| 2:6 | Kwa sababu hii, Maandiko yanadai: “Tazama, Ninaweka katika Sayuni jiwe kuu la pembeni, mteule, ya thamani. Na atakayemuamini hatafedheheka.” |
| 2:7 | Kwa hiyo, kwenu ninyi mlioamini, yeye ni heshima. Lakini kwa wale wasioamini, jiwe ambalo waashi wamelikataa, sawa imefanywa kwenye kichwa cha kona, |
| 2:8 | na jiwe la machukizo, na mwamba wa kashfa, kwa wale wanaochukizwa na Neno; wala hawaamini, ingawa nazo zimejengwa juu yake. |
| 2:9 | Lakini ninyi ni kizazi mteule, ukuhani wa kifalme, taifa takatifu, watu waliopatikana, ili mpate kuzitangaza fadhili zake yeye aliyewaita mtoke gizani mkaingie katika nuru yake ya ajabu. |
| 2:10 | Ingawa zamani hamkuwa watu, lakini sasa ninyi ni watu wa Mungu. Ingawa hukupata rehema, lakini sasa mmepata rehema. |
| 2:11 | Mpendwa zaidi, nakuomba, kama wageni na wageni wapya, kujiepusha na tamaa za kimwili, ambayo ni vita dhidi ya roho. |
| 2:12 | Mwenendo wenu kati ya watu wa mataifa kwa wema, Kwahivyo, wanapokusingizia kama nyinyi ni watenda maovu, wanaweza, kwa matendo mema yanayoonekana ndani yako, mtukuzeni Mungu siku ya kujiliwa. |
| 2:13 | Kwa hiyo, be subject to every human creature because of God, whether it is to the king as preeminent, |
| 2:14 | or to leaders as having been sent from him for vindication over evildoers, it is truly for the praise of what is good. |
| 2:15 | For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may bring about the silence of imprudent and ignorant men, |
| 2:16 | in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God. |
| 2:17 | Honor everyone. Love brotherhood. Mche Mungu. Honor the king. |
| 2:18 | Watumishi, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and meek, but also to the unruly. |
| 2:19 | For this is grace: lini, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice. |
| 2:20 | Kwa utukufu gani huko, ukitenda dhambi kisha ukapata kipigo? Lakini ukifanya vyema na kuteseka kwa subira, hii ni neema kwa Mungu. |
| 2:21 | Kwa maana mmeitwa kufanya hivyo kwa sababu Kristo naye aliteseka kwa ajili yetu, kukuachia mfano, ili ufuate nyayo zake. |
| 2:22 | Hakutenda dhambi, wala udanganyifu haukuonekana kinywani mwake. |
| 2:23 | Na iliponenwa ubaya, hakusema mabaya. Alipoteseka, hakutisha. Kisha akajisalimisha kwa yule aliyemhukumu isivyo haki. |
| 2:24 | Yeye mwenyewe alibeba dhambi zetu katika mwili wake juu ya mti, ili sisi, akiwa ameifia dhambi, angeishi kwa haki. Kwa majeraha yake, umeponywa. |
| 2:25 | Kwa maana mlikuwa kama kondoo wanaotangatanga. Lakini sasa mmerudishwa kwa Mchungaji na Askofu wa roho zenu. |
1 Peter 3
| 3:1 | Vile vile pia, wives should be subject to their husbands, Kwahivyo, even if some do not believe the Word, they may benefit without the Word, through the behavior of these wives, |
| 3:2 | as they consider with fear your chaste behavior. |
| 3:3 | Kwa ajili yako, there should be no unnecessary adornment of the hair, or surrounding with gold, or the wearing of ornate clothing. |
| 3:4 | Badala yake, you should be a hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, rich in the sight of God. |
| 3:5 | Kwa njia hii, in past times also, holy women adorned themselves, hoping in God, being subject to their own husbands. |
| 3:6 | For so Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her daughters, well-behaved and unafraid of any disturbance. |
| 3:7 | Vile vile, you husbands should live with them in accord with knowledge, bestowing honor on the female as the weaker vessel and as co-heirs of the life of grace, so that your prayers may not be hindered. |
| 3:8 | Na hatimaye, may you all be of one mind: compassionate, loving brotherhood, merciful, meek, humble, |
| 3:9 | not repaying evil with evil, nor slander with slander, lakini, kinyume chake, repaying with blessings. For to this you have been called, so that you may possess the inheritance of a blessing. |
| 3:10 | For whoever wants to love life and to see good days should restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, so that they utter no deceit. |
| 3:11 | Let him turn away from evil, na kufanya mema. Let him seek peace, na kuifuata. |
| 3:12 | For the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, na masikio yake ni kwa maombi yao, but the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil. |
| 3:13 | And who is it who can harm you, if you are zealous in what is good? |
| 3:14 | Na bado, even when you suffer something for the sake of justice, you are blessed. Hivyo basi, do not be afraid with their fear, wala msifadhaike. |
| 3:15 | Bali mtakaseni Kristo Bwana mioyoni mwenu, kuwa tayari daima kutoa maelezo kwa wote wanaokuuliza sababu ya tumaini hilo lililo ndani yako. |
| 3:16 | Lakini fanya hivyo kwa upole na hofu, kuwa na dhamiri njema, Kwahivyo, katika jambo lolote wawezalo kuwasingizia, watafedheheka, kwa kuwa wanashutumu kwa uongo mwenendo wenu mwema katika Kristo. |
| 3:17 | Maana ni afadhali kuteseka kwa kutenda mema, ikiwa ni mapenzi ya Mungu, kuliko kutenda maovu. |
| 3:18 | Kwa maana Kristo naye alikufa mara moja kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu, Mwenye Haki kwa niaba ya madhalimu, ili atutoe kwa Mungu, akiwa amefariki, hakika, katika mwili, bali kwa kuhuishwa na Roho. |
| 3:19 | And in the Spirit, he preached to those who were in prison, going to those souls |
| 3:20 | who had been unbelieving in past times, while they waited for the patience of God, as in the days of Noah, when the ark was being built. In that ark, wachache, hiyo ni, eight souls, were saved by water. |
| 3:21 | And now you also are saved, in a similar manner, by baptism, not by the testimony of sordid flesh, but by the examination of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. |
| 3:22 | He is at the right hand of God, devouring death, so that we may be made heirs to eternal life. And since he has journeyed to heaven, the Angels and powers and virtues are subject to him. |
1 Peter 4
| 4:1 | Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin, |
| 4:2 | so that now he may live, for the remainder of his time in the flesh, not by the desires of men, bali kwa mapenzi ya Mungu. |
| 4:3 | For the time that has passed is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, those who have walked in luxuries, lusts, intoxication, feasting, drinking, and the illicit worship of idols. |
| 4:4 | Kuhusu hili, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, kukufuru. |
| 4:5 | But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead. |
| 4:6 | Kwa sababu ya hii, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, hakika, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit. |
| 4:7 | Lakini mwisho wa kila kitu unakaribia. Na hivyo, kuwa na busara, na muwe macho katika maombi yenu. |
| 4:8 | Lakini, kabla ya mambo yote, kuweni na upendo wa kila mara ninyi kwa ninyi. Kwa maana upendo husitiri wingi wa dhambi. |
| 4:9 | Onyesheni ukarimu ninyi kwa ninyi bila kulalamika. |
| 4:10 | Kama vile kila mmoja wenu alivyopokea neema, kuhudumiana vivyo hivyo, kama mawakili wema wa neema mbalimbali za Mungu. |
| 4:11 | Mtu anapozungumza, inapaswa kuwa kama maneno ya Mungu. Mtu anapohudumu, inapaswa kuwa kutoka kwa wema ambao Mungu hutoa, ili katika mambo yote Mungu atukuzwe kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo. Kwake ni utukufu na ukuu hata milele na milele. Amina. |
| 4:12 | Mpendwa zaidi, usichague kukaa katika shauku ambayo ni jaribu kwako, kana kwamba kitu kipya kinaweza kutokea kwako. |
| 4:13 | Lakini badala yake, tushirikiane katika Mateso ya Kristo, na ufurahie hilo, utukufu wake utakapofunuliwa, wewe pia unaweza kushangilia kwa furaha. |
| 4:14 | If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you will be blessed, because that which is of the honor, glory, and power of God, and that which is of his Spirit, rests upon you. |
| 4:15 | But let none of you suffer for being a murderer, or a thief, au mchongezi, or one who covets what belongs to another. |
| 4:16 | But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, he should not be ashamed. Badala yake, he should glorify God in that name. |
| 4:17 | For it is time that judgment begin at the house of God. And if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who do not believe the Gospel of God? |
| 4:18 | And if the just man will scarcely be saved, where will the impious and the sinner appear? |
| 4:19 | Kwa hiyo, pia, let those who suffer according to the will of God commend their souls by good deeds to the faithful Creator. |
1 Peter 5
| 5:1 | Kwa hiyo, Nawasihi wazee walio miongoni mwenu, kama mmoja ambaye pia ni mzee na shahidi wa Mateso ya Kristo, ambaye pia anashiriki utukufu ule utakaofunuliwa wakati ujao: |
| 5:2 | lisheni kundi la Mungu lililo kati yenu, kutoa kwa ajili yake, si kama hitaji, lakini kwa hiari, sawasawa na Mungu, na si kwa ajili ya faida iliyochafuliwa, lakini kwa uhuru, |
| 5:3 | si ili kutawala kwa njia ya serikali ya makasisi, bali ili kuumbwa kuwa kundi kutoka moyoni. |
| 5:4 | Na wakati Kiongozi wa wachungaji atakuwa ametokea, utajiwekea taji ya utukufu isiyokauka. |
| 5:5 | Vile vile, vijana, kuwa chini ya wazee. Na kupenyeza unyenyekevu wote miongoni mwao, maana Mungu huwapinga wajivunao, bali huwapa wanyenyekevu neema. |
| 5:6 | Na hivyo, kunyenyekewa chini ya mkono wa Mungu wenye nguvu, ili awakweze wakati wa kujiliwa. |
| 5:7 | Mtupeni fadhaa zenu zote, kwa maana yeye anakutunza. |
| 5:8 | Kuwa na kiasi na macho. Kwa adui yako, shetani, ni kama simba angurumaye, akizungukazunguka na kutafuta wale apate kuwala. |
| 5:9 | Mpingeni kwa kuwa imara katika imani, mkifahamu kwamba tamaa hizohizo huwapata ndugu zenu katika ulimwengu. |
| 5:10 | Lakini Mungu wa neema yote, aliyetuita kuingia katika utukufu wake wa milele katika Kristo Yesu, atakuwa mkamilifu mwenyewe, thibitisha, na kutuimarisha, baada ya muda mfupi wa mateso. |
| 5:11 | Utukufu na ukuu una yeye milele na milele. Amina. |
| 5:12 | Nimeandika kwa ufupi, kupitia Sylvanus, ambaye ninamwona kuwa ndugu mwaminifu kwako, kuomba na kushuhudia kwamba hii ndiyo neema ya kweli ya Mungu, ambayo ndani yake umeanzishwa. |
| 5:13 | Kanisa lililoko Babeli, wateule pamoja nanyi, anakusalimu, kama vile mwanangu, Weka alama. |
| 5:14 | Salimianeni kwa busu takatifu. Neema na iwe kwenu nyote mlio katika Kristo Yesu. Amina. |
