1 Pita 5
1 Ni mi bi ninkon wa me mi ninkon, wa ba chume ni shishi kpa-ya Yesu Kiristi, ni hla ndindima u bachi dun ba toh.
Elders who [are] among you, I exhort, who [am] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,
2 Zizan tie ndu vren u krju ntma ni kpa nyemme, ana ni gbigbina, ana ni kpa-sɦăn na.
feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,
3 Na ban tu me ndi wu ninkon ni shishi indi wa u ya'ba na, se “u” ka tsroba inkoh tie ndindi u ntma.
neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
4 Ninkon u krju ntma ni ta bwu shishi niwu, u fe pri-nzeh u tuntur.
and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 A naki biyi mri-nzeh wawu, ka tu nbi grji ni bi ninkon nitoh tu-nbi ni nfutu, na kpa ri-mbi tsri na. Irji na nyimme ni-ndi wa ni nzutu na.
In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;
6 Njitu-mbi grji dun Irji zoh yi.
be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
7 Ka wawu sisri meh don ni-Wu, Wawu yi ni kata.
all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.
8 Mmla yah, mmla zren, meme-a ni-zren ni kagon ni wa-indi wa a ni ta'n na-ichen u'yon.
Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
9 Ka'me niwũ. Kri mgbamgba ni yo-sron. U toh indi bi hu Irji ni mgumgblu ba si shaya naaki me.
whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.
10 Ni-gon iya wa uti ni'nton tsaame. Irji (Bachi) u ko'nge, iwa a yo, a ye ni sisren u tuntur ni Yesu Kiristi, ani nu mgbemgble na mlawu ti. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
to Him [is] the glory, and the power — to the ages and the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 I'me mi kpa-nyime ni Silvanus a vayi u yer-yer, mi hla ni yiwu tsa-me ni wawuyi.
Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few [words] I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.
13 Mi hla yiwu gbigbi kpe wa mi hla a njanji tre Irji mi kri nitu ma. Iwah u Babilon wa bi kpa indu ni ntoh ṛiři asi chi yi. Ivren mu Markus ngame asi chi yi.
Salute you doth the [assembly] in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.
14 Chi kpambi ni kurju uu (kiss) isohn. Si dun he ni yi ni den Yesu.
Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
