1 Petulo 4
1 Nipele pakuŵa Kilisito ŵasawiche mu chiilu, nomwe ŵakwe nlilimbisye nkuganisya iyoyo mpela yatite kuŵa jwelejo, pakuŵa jwelejo jwasawiche mu chiilu, alekangene ni sambi.
Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 Ni mmwe ŵakwe chitandile sambano, mmoŵa genu gagasigele pachilambo pano, kasintama kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, nambo ntame kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu.
so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
3 Pakuŵa katema kakapite ka umi wetu mwakwete katema kakaleu kakupanganya indu yaakupanganya ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Mwatemi mu chigwagwa ni tama syangalumbana ni indimba yakutendekasya soni ni kupopela inyago yaikwachima Akunnungu.
For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.
4 Sambano, ŵele ŵandu ŵangakwamanya Akunnungu akunsimonga ŵanyamwe pakummona ndi ngankukamulangana nawo sooni mu ipanganyo yao ya soni, nipele akuntukananga.
They are amazed at this―that you run not with them into the same excess of debauchery, and they revile you.
5 Nambo ŵele ŵandu chachiliŵalanga achinsyene indu yao paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵakutama chile kwalamula ŵajumi ni ŵawe.
These shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Lyele lili ligongo lyati Ngani Jambone jalalichilwe ilaila kwa ŵawe, kuti alamulikwe mu iilu yao yakuti akusachilwa kuwa nti ŵandu ŵane. Ngani Jambone ji jalalichilwe kwa ŵanyawo kuti mu utame wao wa chimbumu akole umi mpela Akunnungu yatite kuŵa ŵajumi.
For this cause, indeed, even those who have died had the gospel preached to them, that though they might be judged according to the will of men in the flesh, yet they might live according to the will of God in the spirit.
7 Nambo mbesi ja indu yose jiŵandichile. Nkusachilwa mme ni lunda, nlitawale mwachinsyene ni kupopela.
But the end of all things is at hand; be sober-minded, therefore, and watchful, that you may pray.
8 Kwipunda yose nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose, pakuŵa unonyelo ukuunichila sambi syejinji.
But, above all things, have fervent love one for another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
9 Mpochelangane jwine ni jwine pangadandaula.
Be hospitable, one to another, without murmuring.
10 Jwalijose akusachilwa atumichileje ntulilo wakwe wapegwilwe ni Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya ŵane. Naga akutenda yeleyo chaŵe jwakulindilila jwambone jwa ntulilo wauliwose umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu.
As each has received a gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Jwakulalichila jwalijose, akusachilwa kuutyosya utenga wa Akunnungu. Ni jwakutumichila, atumichile malinga ni machili gapegwilwe ni Akunnungu, kuti ajinichilwe Akunnungu mu yose kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito. Ukulu ni ukombole uŵe kwa ŵelewo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)
If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ŵakunonyelwa, nkakusimonga kupotekwa ligongo lya kulinjikwa kwakukulungwa. Kasimmalanga kuti chili chindu chachilendo kukwenu.
Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial that has come on you to try you, as if some strange thing had happened to you.
13 Nambo nsengwanje pakuŵa nkusyoŵekana mmasausyo gao Kilisito, kuti nkombole kusengwa kwakupunda katema pachiunukulikwe ukulu wao.
But, inasmuch as you are partakers of the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that, at the revelation of his glory, you may also be exceedingly joyful.
14 Nkwete upile iŵaga ŵandu chantukane kwa ligongo lya Kilisito, chelechi chikulosya kuti Mbumu jwa ukulu, yani Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, akutama nomwe.
If you are reproached on account of Christ, happy are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. On their part he is reviled, but on your part he is glorified:
15 Akapagwa jwalijose mwenumwe jwakuŵajilwa kusauka ligongo ndi jwakuulaga pane jwawii pane jwakutenda yangalumbana ni jwakulijinjisya mmasengo ga ŵane.
for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Nambo iŵaga nkusauka ligongo ndi jwakunkuya Kilisito, ikantenda soni, nambo mwakusye Akunnungu pakuŵa mmwe ndi jwakwe Kilisito.
But if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this account.
17 Pakuŵa katema ka ulamusi kaiche, ni ulamusi wo ukutanda kwa ŵandu wakwe Akunnungu asyene. Ni kulamulikwa ko iŵaga kukutanda kukwetu uwe, mbesi jakwe chijiŵe uli kwa ŵandu ŵangakujitichisya Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu.
For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
18 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Iŵaga ili yakulimba kwa mundu jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kukulupuswa, chiŵe uli kwa jwangakwalamba Akunnungu ni jwali ni sambi?”
And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear?
19 Nipele, ŵele ŵakusauka ligongo lya kusaka kwao Akunnungu, akusachilwa aliŵiche achinsyene mmakono mwa Akunnungu jwaali Jwakugumba jwao jwakukulupilichika, ni kwendelechela kupanganya yambone.
Wherefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God, by doing good, commit their souls to him as to a faithful Creator.
