1 Petulo 5
1 Une jwanchekulu chilongola jumo mwa ŵanyamwe achachekulu ilongola achinjangu ni jwa umboni junagaweni masauko ga Kilisito ni juchilumbikane nawo mu aula ukulu wauchiunukulikwe, ngunchondelela
Therefore I, being a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, also a communicant of the glory which is about to be revealed, exhort the elders who are among you:
2 nchinganje mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu umpegwile, ngaŵa kwa kunkanganichisya, nambo kwakusaka kwenu mwachinsyene mpela yakuti kusaka Akunnungu. Kasintumichila kwa misese jakukola mbiya, nambo kwa kulityosya kwa ntima wenu wose.
shepherdize the flock of God which is among you, not coercively, but willingly, for the sake of God; not for filthy lucre, but cheerfully.
3 Kasimwalongosya kwa machili aŵala ŵandu ŵampegwile kwagosa, nambo ŵanyamwe mwachinsyene mme chitagu chambone kwa ŵandu wo.
Not as domineering over the heritages, but having become examples of the flock:
4 Ni Jwakuchinga Jwankulu pachaiche sooni, ŵanyamwe chimpochele chindu mpela singwa ja ukulu jangajikusisina.
and chief Shepherd having appeared, you shall receive a crown of glory which will never fade away.
5 Iyoyopeyo ŵanyamwe achachanda nkusachilwa mwajitichisye achakulungwa. Ŵanyamwe wose nkusachilwa kulitulusya nkombole kutumichilana, pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Akunnungu akwakanila ŵakulinamanila, nambo akwalosya umbone wao aŵala ŵakulitulusya.”
Likewise, you younger men, submit to the elders: and all put on humility toward one another; because God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
6 Nipele nliŵiche paasi pa nkono wa Akunnungu wauli ni machili, kuti antende mme jwankulu kwa katema kakwe.
Therefore humble yourselves beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up in due time:
7 Mwaŵichile indu yaikunsausya mmitima jenu, pakuŵa ŵelewo akungosanga ŵanyamwe.
having cast all your care upon him; because there is a care to him concerning you.
8 Nlilolechesye ni nchesyanje! Pakuŵa jwammagongo jwenu Jwaulamba, akusyungulasyungula mpela lisimba lyalikutongola lichinsosaga mundu jwakummila.
Be sober, watch. The devil is walking round like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour:
9 Ni ŵanyamwe munkanile jwelejo, mkulimbichila mchikulupi, nchimanyililaga kuti ŵakukulupilila achinjenu wose pachilambo pose akusimanwa ni masauko ganti iyoyo.
whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.
10 Nambo mwamalaga kulagaswa kwa katema kakajipi, Akunnungu ŵaali ŵambone mu wose ŵaŵammilasile njinjile mu ukulu wao wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Ŵelewo asyene chantende ŵamalilwe ni kuntaga machili ni kuntenda njime mwakulimbila mu nsingi wakulimba. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him is the power unto the age of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Nannembele chikalata chachijipi chi kwa ukamusi u che Siluwano, nnongo jungummanyilila ni kunkulupilila. Ngusaka kunlimbisya ntima ni kunsalila kuti chindu chi uli umbone wa usyene wa Akunnungu. Ntameje nkulimbila mu umbone wo.
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.
13 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wauli ku chilambo cha Babeli, akunkomasya. Iyoyopeyo che Maliko jwali nti mwanangu jwa usyene nombejo akunkomasya.
The elect sister who is in Babylon, and my son Mark, salute you.
14 Nkomasyane kwa unonyelo wa Kilisito. Ngunsachila chitendewele ŵanyamwe ŵanli ŵandu ŵakwe Kilisito.
Salute one another with a holy kiss. Peace be unto you all who are in Christ.
