1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
Nipele pakuŵa Kilisito ŵasawiche mu chiilu, nomwe ŵakwe nlilimbisye nkuganisya iyoyo mpela yatite kuŵa jwelejo, pakuŵa jwelejo jwasawiche mu chiilu, alekangene ni sambi.
2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
Ni mmwe ŵakwe chitandile sambano, mmoŵa genu gagasigele pachilambo pano, kasintama kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, nambo ntame kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu.
3 For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
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.
4 Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
Sambano, ŵele ŵandu ŵangakwamanya Akunnungu akunsimonga ŵanyamwe pakummona ndi ngankukamulangana nawo sooni mu ipanganyo yao ya soni, nipele akuntukananga.
5 But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Nambo ŵele ŵandu chachiliŵalanga achinsyene indu yao paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵakutama chile kwalamula ŵajumi ni ŵawe.
6 That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
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.
7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
Nambo mbesi ja indu yose jiŵandichile. Nkusachilwa mme ni lunda, nlitawale mwachinsyene ni kupopela.
8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Kwipunda yose nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose, pakuŵa unonyelo ukuunichila sambi syejinji.
9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
Mpochelangane jwine ni jwine pangadandaula.
10 As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
Jwalijose akusachilwa atumichileje ntulilo wakwe wapegwilwe ni Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya ŵane. Naga akutenda yeleyo chaŵe jwakulindilila jwambone jwa ntulilo wauliwose umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu.
11 If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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)
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
Ŵakunonyelwa, nkakusimonga kupotekwa ligongo lya kulinjikwa kwakukulungwa. Kasimmalanga kuti chili chindu chachilendo kukwenu.
13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
Nambo nsengwanje pakuŵa nkusyoŵekana mmasausyo gao Kilisito, kuti nkombole kusengwa kwakupunda katema pachiunukulikwe ukulu wao.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Nkwete upile iŵaga ŵandu chantukane kwa ligongo lya Kilisito, chelechi chikulosya kuti Mbumu jwa ukulu, yani Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, akutama nomwe.
15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
Akapagwa jwalijose mwenumwe jwakuŵajilwa kusauka ligongo ndi jwakuulaga pane jwawii pane jwakutenda yangalumbana ni jwakulijinjisya mmasengo ga ŵane.
16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
Nambo iŵaga nkusauka ligongo ndi jwakunkuya Kilisito, ikantenda soni, nambo mwakusye Akunnungu pakuŵa mmwe ndi jwakwe Kilisito.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
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.
18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
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?”
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Nipele, ŵele ŵakusauka ligongo lya kusaka kwao Akunnungu, akusachilwa aliŵiche achinsyene mmakono mwa Akunnungu jwaali Jwakugumba jwao jwakukulupilichika, ni kwendelechela kupanganya yambone.
