1 Petro 4
1 Emomiyo kaka Kristo noneno sand e ringruok, un bende nyaka umanru gi paro machal gi mare, nikech ngʼat maneno sand e ringre koro oseloyo richo.
If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins,
2 Kuom mano, un koro ok udak e ngima maru mar pinyni mondo uchop gombo maricho mag dhano, to udak mar timo dwaro Nyasaye.
that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.
3 Nikech ne un gi kinde malach mokadho, nutimo gik ma jopiny ohero timo kaka: dwanyruok, gombo, mer, tugo e thum, math mar anjawo kod lamo nyiseche manono.
For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.
4 To tinde ka ok uriwru gi joma kamago e oowruok mar ngima monjawni, to giwuoro kendo giyanyou.
And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness;
5 Giko to nyaka ni ginihul wach man kuomgi giwegi ni Jal moikore mar ngʼado bura ni joma ngima gi joma otho.
who must give account to God, who is to judge the living and the dead.
6 Mano emomiyo ne oyal Injili nyaka ni joma koro osetho, mondo eka obi ongʼadnegi bura, kaka nongʼad ni ji duto manie ringruok, to chunygi mondo obed mangima kaluwore gi dwaro Nyasaye.
For on this account the announcement is made also to the dead, that they may be judged as persons in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
7 Giko gik moko duto chiegni. Emomiyo beduru gi paro maler kendo ritreuru mondo ulam.
But the end of all things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer.
8 To moloyo mago duto, herreuru gihera matut ngʼato gi ngʼato, nikech hera umo richo mangʼeny.
And above all things, have fervent love one towards another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Rwakuru joweteu ma ok ungʼur.
And be ye compassionate to strangers, without murmuring.
10 Ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo oti kod mich moro amora mosemiye mondo okonygo jomoko. Ka utiyo gi kinda kaka jorit mag ngʼwono mopogore opogore ma Nyasaye omiyo kuom konyo ji.
And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Ka ngʼato en jaland wach, to wach molando Obed mana mar Nyasaye kende. Ka ngʼato tiyo ni ji, to onego otim kamano gi teko ma Nyasaye chiwo, mondo kuom gik moko duto ji opak Nyasaye kuom Yesu Kristo. Duongʼ gi teko mondo obed mare mochwere manyaka chiengʼ. Amin. (aiōn g165)
Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Osiepena mahero, kik uluor ka uyudo sand mawangʼou ka mach kuparo ni gimoro magalagala ema timorenu.
My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation.
13 To beduru mamor nikech uriworu kod Kristo e sandne, mondo unudok moil chuth chiengʼ ma duongʼne nofwenyre.
But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.
14 Ka iyanyou nikech nying Kristo to kwanreuru kaka joma ogwedhi, nikech Roho mar duongʼ kendo mar Nyasaye ni kuomu.
And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you.
15 Ka ngʼato kuomu neno sand to kik bed nikech ojanek kata ojakuo, kata en ja-mahundu, kata ojaketre e weche ji.
Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer.
16 To ka uyudo sand nikech un jo-Kristo to kik wiyi kuodi, to gone Nyasaye erokamano nikech iluongou gi nyingno.
But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this name.
17 Nikech ndalo koro osechopo mingʼadoe bura ni jood Nyasaye. To ka wan ema ochakore kodwa kamano to uparo ni joma ok luw Injili mar Nyasaye to biro neno malit machal nadi?
For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
18 Nikech Muma wacho niya, “Ka en gima tek mondo owar joma timbegi beyo, koro joma kia Nyasaye gi joricho to nobed machalo nadi?”
And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!
19 Kuom mano joma neno sand kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasaye onego ochiw chunygi e lwet Jachwech ma ja-adiera kendo onego gidhi nyime gi timo timbe mabeyo.
Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the pleasure of God, commend their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
