1 Petro 5
1 Ne jodongo man e dieru akwayou kaka jaduongʼ wadu mane janeno kaka Kristo sandore, kendo kaka achiel kuom joma biro yudo duongʼ mabiro fwenyore achien:
And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you:
2 Beduru jokwath mag kweth Nyasaye moseketo e lwetu mondo uriti. Ritgiuru kaka jorit, ok nikech ngʼato ochunou, to nikech chunyu ohero, kaka Nyasaye dwaro ni utim. Kik ubed jokwath mondo uyudie ohala, to timuru kamano nikech uhero.
Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart;
3 Kik utimru ruodhi ewi joma oketi e lwetu mondo uriti, to bedne giuru ranyisi maber.
not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them:
4 To ka Jakwath Maduongʼ obiro to unuyud osimbo mar duongʼ ma ok kethre ma nosik karieny nyaka chiengʼ.
that when the chief shepherd shall be revealed, ye may receive from him a crown of glory that fadeth not.
5 Un jomatindo bende chiwuru luor ni jomadongo. Rwakreuru gi muolo e kindu ngʼato gi ngʼato, nikech Muma wacho niya, “Nyasaye osin gi josunga to ochiwo ngʼwono ne joma muol.”
And ye juniors submit yourselves to your seniors; and clothe yourselves, stringently, with lowliness of mind one towards another; because God resisteth them who exalt themselves, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Emomiyo beduru joma obolore e bwo bad Nyasaye man-gi teko eka enotingʼu malo e kinde mowinjore.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the powerful hand of God: and it will exalt you in due time.
7 Keturu parruok duto ma un-go kuome nikech oparou.
And cast all your solicitude upon God; for he careth for you.
8 Beduru motangʼ ka ungʼeyo ni jasiku, ma en Satan, bayo kuonde duto mana ka sibuor maruto, komanyo ngʼama dongam.
Be sober and guarded, because Satan your adversary, like a lion, roareth, and goeth about, and seeketh whom he may devour.
9 Chungʼuru motegno kuom yie ma un-go kendo tameuru, nikech ungʼeyo ni joweteu moyie e piny ngima bende neno chandruok machal gi ma uneno.
Therefore resist him, being steadfast in the faith: and know ye, that the same sufferings befall your brethren that are in the world.
10 Ka useneno chandruok kuom kinde moromo, Nyasach ngʼwono duto, mane oluongou e duongʼne mochwere kuom Kristo Yesu, nomi ubed maler chuth, kogurou udoko motegno e mise ma ok yiengni. (aiōnios g166)
Now it is the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jesus the Messiah, that hath given us, while we sustain these light afflictions, to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established by him for ever: (aiōnios g166)
to whom be glory, and power, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Andikonu baruwa machwokni ka Sila, ma akwano kaka owadwa madier kuom Kristo, konya. Ajiwou kendo atimo neno ni ma e kaka ngʼwono madier mar Nyasaye chalo, omiyo chunguru motegno kuom ngʼwonono.
These as I account them few things, I have written to you by Sylvanus, a faithful brother. And I would persuade, and would testify, that this is the true grace of God, this in which ye stand.
13 Kanyakla mar jo-Kristo man Babulon, ma Nyasaye oyiero kaachiel kodu, okowonu mos. Wuoda Mariko bende omosou.
The elect church which is in Babylon, saluteth you; also Mark, my son.
14 Mosreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato gi yogruok mar hera. Kwe mondo obed kodu un duto ma un kuom Kristo.
Salute ye one another with a holy kiss. Peace be with you all, who are in the Messiah. Amen.
