1 Peter 2
New King James Version
Our Inheritance Through Christ’s Blood
2 Therefore, (A)laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 (B)as newborn babes, desire the pure (C)milk of the word, that you may grow [a]thereby, 3 if indeed you have (D)tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(E)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (F)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(G)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [b]are disobedient,
(H)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(I)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(J)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (K)to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (L)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (M)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Living Before the World
11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts (N)which war against the soul, 12 (O)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, (P)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submission to Government(Q)
13 (R)Therefore submit yourselves to every [c]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 (S)as free, yet not (T)using liberty as a cloak for [d]vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear (U)God. Honor the king.
Submission to Masters(V)
18 (W)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is (X)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For (Y)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For (Z)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [e]us, (AA)leaving [f]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(AB) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (AC)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (AD)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (AE)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (AF)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(AG)by whose [g]stripes you were healed. 25 For (AH)you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned (AI)to the Shepherd and [h]Overseer of your souls.

1 Peetero 2
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Ejjinja Eddamu n’Eggwanga Ettukuvu
2 (A)Kale mukomye buli ngeri yonna ey’ettima, n’obulimba bwonna, n’obukuusa, n’obuggya, n’okwogera ekibi kwonna. 2 (B)Ng’abaana abaakazaalibwa bwe beegomba amata, nammwe mwegombenga amata ag’omwoyo, muganywenga mukule era mulokolebwe, 3 (C)kubanga mwalega ku bulungi bwa Mukama.
4 (D)Mujje gy’ali kubanga ye ly’ejjinja eddamu, abantu lye baasuula nga balowooza nti terigasa, kyokka eryalondebwa Katonda era ery’omugaso omunene ennyo. 5 (E)Mujje gy’ali nga muli ng’amayinja amalamu, muzimbibwemu ennyumba ey’omwoyo. Mulyoke mube bakabona be abaweereza ssaddaaka ey’omwoyo, esiimibwa Katonda mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. 6 (F)Kubanga ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti,
“Laba, nteeka mu Sayuuni,
ejjinja ery’oku nsonda ery’omuwendo omungi eddonde,
oyo eyeesiga Kristo,
taliswazibwa.”
7 (G)Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza. Naye eri abatakkiriza,
“Lye jjinja abazimbi lye baagaana,
lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.”
8 (H)Era
“Lye jjinja abantu lye beekoonako,
lwe lwazi kwe beesittala ne bagwa.”
Beesittala kubanga bajeemera ekigambo kya Katonda, nga bwe ky’ateekebwateekebwa.
9 (I)Naye mwe muli kika kironde, bakabona bw’obwakabaka, eggwanga ettukuvu, abantu ba Katonda bennyini. Mwalondebwa mulyoke mutende ebirungi bya Katonda eyabaggya mu kizikiza n’abayingiza mu butangaavu bwe obutenkanika. 10 (J)Edda temwali ggwanga, naye kaakano muli ggwanga lya Katonda, era mwali temusaasirwa, naye kaakano Katonda abasaasidde.
Abaweereza ba Katonda
11 (K)Abaagalwa, mutegeerere ddala nti ku nsi kuno muli bayise. Kyenva mbeegayirira mwewale okwegomba kw’omubiri, kubanga kulwanagana n’omwoyo. 12 (L)Mukuumenga empisa zammwe ennungi, abo be mubeera nabo abatakkiriza, newaakubadde baboogerako nti ebikolwa byammwe bibi, basobole okulaba ebirungi bye mukola, balyoke bagulumize Katonda ku lunaku lw’alirabikirako.
13 (M)Ku lwa Mukama waffe, mugonderenga buli kiragiro ky’abo abali mu buyinza, oba kabaka alina obufuzi obw’oku ntikko, 14 (N)oba abafuzi abalala b’atuma okubonerezanga abakola ebikolwa ebibi, era n’okusiimanga abo abakola ebikolwa ebirungi. 15 (O)Kubanga Katonda asiima mukolenga ebirungi, mulyoke musirisenga abantu abasirusiru era abatalina kye bamanyi. 16 (P)Mubenga ba ddembe, kyokka nga temulyesigamya ku kukola bitasaana, wabula mulikozese ng’abaweereza ba Katonda. 17 (Q)Mussengamu abantu bonna ekitiibwa, mwagalenga nnyo abooluganda. Mutyenga Katonda. Mussengamu ekitiibwa abafuzi.
Tulabire ku Kristo
18 (R)Abaddu, mugonderenga bakama bammwe, nga mubassaamu ekitiibwa ekijjuvu, si abo bokka abalungi n’abakwatampola naye n’abo abakambwe. 19 (S)Kubanga kya mukisa omuntu bw’abonyaabonyezebwa awatali nsonga, n’agumiikiriza olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala. 20 (T)Kale kitiibwa ki kye mufuna bwe mugumiikiriza mu kubonaabona olw’okukola ekibi? Naye Katonda abasiima bwe mugumiikiriza nga mubonyaabonyezebwa olw’okukola obulungi. 21 (U)Ekyo kye mwayitirwa kubanga ne Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa ku lwammwe, n’abalekera ekyokulabirako kye musaana okugoberera.
22 (V)“Kristo teyakola kibi
wadde okwogera ebyobukuusa.”
23 Bwe yavumibwa, ye teyavuma. Era abaamubonyaabonya teyabeewerera, wabula yeewaayo eri Katonda alamula awatali kusaliriza. 24 (W)Yesu Kristo yennyini yeetikka ebibi byaffe mu mubiri gwe bwe yatufiirira ku musaalaba, naffe tulyoke tufe eri ekibi, tube abalamu eri obutuukirivu. Olw’ebiwundu bye, muwonyezebbwa. 25 Kubanga mwali muwabye ng’endiga, naye kaakano mukomezebbwaawo eri Omusumba era alabirira obulamu bwammwe.
