2:22	Amadoda akwa-Israyeli, yizwa lamazwi: UJesu waseNazaretha uyindoda eqiniswe nguNkulunkulu phakathi kwenu ngezimangaliso nezimangaliso nezibonakaliso uNkulunkulu azenza ngaye phakathi kwenu., njengoba nawe wazi.
2:23	Le ndoda, ngaphansi kwesu eliwujuqu kanye nokwazi kusengaphambili kukaNkulunkulu, wanikelwa ngezandla zabangalungile, ehluphekile, futhi abulawe.
2:24	Futhi lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo wephule usizi lwaseSihogweni, ngoba impela kwakungenakwenzeka ukuthi abanjwe yikho.
2:25	Ngoba uDavida wakhuluma ngaye: ‘Ngayibona iNkosi njalo emehlweni ami, ngoba ungakwesokunene sami, ukuze nginganyakaziswa.
2:26	Ngenxa yalokhu, inhliziyo yami ijabule, nolimi lwami luyethaba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nenyama yami iyophumula ngethemba.
2:27	Ngoba ngeke uwulahle umphefumulo wami esihogweni, futhi ngeke uvumele oNgcwele wakho abone ukonakala.
2:28	Ungazisile izindlela zokuphila. Uzongigcwalisa ngokuphelele ngenjabulo ngokuba khona kwakho.’
2:29	Bafowethu abahloniphekile, ngivumeleni ngikhulume kini ngokukhululekile ngokhokho uDavide: ngoba wadlula emhlabeni, wembelwa, lengcwaba lakhe likithi, kuze kube namuhla.
2:30	Ngakho-ke, wayengumprofethi, ngoba wayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayefungile kuye ngesithelo sokhalo lwakhe, ngaLowo oyohlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
2:31	Ukubona lokhu kusengaphambili, wayekhuluma ngovuko lukaKristu. Ngoba akashiywanga emuva eSihogweni, nenyama yakhe ayikubonanga ukubola.
2:32	UJesu lo, UNkulunkulu wavuka futhi, lalokhu thina sonke singofakazi balokho.
2:33	Ngakho-ke, ephakanyiselwe ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, futhi sesamukele kuBaba isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, wathela lokhu, njengoba manje ubona futhi uzwa.

First Letter of Peter 1: 17-21

1:17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.

1:18 For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,

1:19 but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,

1:20 foreknown, ngokuqinisekile, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.

1:21 Ngaye, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
