1 Peter 5
1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Nene namgogo chilongosi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, ndi mwenigawene namwene mang'ahiso ga Kilisitu na nene yati nivya muukulu waki weugubukuliwa. Nikuvayupa neju nyenye vagogo vayangu,
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
mvya vadimaji wa msambi wa vandu vempewili na Chapanga, mliyangalila bwina, lepi ngati chemwigana nyenye nambu cheigana Chapanga. Muhenga lihengu lepi kwa mnogo wa kupata mashonga nambu muhenga kwa mtima winu woha.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Mkoto kuvalongosa kwa makakala vala vempewili kuuyangalila, nambu muvya luhumu lwa bwina kwa msambi wenuwo.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Na lukumbi Mdimaji Mkulu peibwela kavili, nyenye yati mpokela njingwa ya ukulu yangayagisa ubwina waki.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Mewawa na nyenye vasongolo muvayidakila vagogo vinu. Na mwavoha nyenye mganikiwa kuvya vangolongondi muhotola kutangatilana, muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Chapanga akuvabela vevimeka nambu akuvalangisa ubwina waki vangameka”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Hinu ndi, ngolongondi winu uvya pahi ya mumawoko ga Chapanga mweavi na uhotola, muni avayinula lukumbi lweluganikiwa.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Mumlekela mwene mambu geging'aha mitima yinu, muni mwene akuvayangalila.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Mjiyangalila, na mvya mihu! Muni likoko winu Setani, itindila tindila ngati lihimba lelibuluma kumlonda mundu limmila.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Mumbela mwenuyo, myima cha kukangamala mu sadika, ndava mumanyili vakilisitu vayinu pamulima woha ving'aika ngati chemwing'aika nyenye.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Nambu mwakamala kung'ahika lukumbi luhupi, Chapanga mweavili na ubwina mugoha, mweavakemeli muyingila mu ukulu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa, na akuvapela makakala na kuvakita mkangamala kuyima mumkingisa weusindimili. (aiōnios g166)
Kwaki kuvya uhotola magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
Nivayandikili balua yeniyi yidebe kwa kutangatiliwa na Siliwano, mwenimuweni ngati mlongo wangu na msadikika. Nigana kuvasindimalisa mtima na kujova kuvya lijambu lenili chakaka ubwina wa Chapanga. Myima chakukangamala mu ubwina wenuwo.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Vamsadika vayinu vevavili ku Babeli vevahaguliwi na Chapanga pamonga na nyenye vakuvajambusa. Mewawa Maluko mweavi ngati mwana vangu akuvajambusa.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Mjambusanayi muuganu waki Kilisitu. Mutama kwa uteke mwavoha nyenye mwemuvi mugati ya Kilisitu.
