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.
Eya ta esi Kristo kpe fu le eƒe ŋutilã me ta la, miawo hã mitsɔ nɔnɔme ma ke bla miaƒe aliwo dzii, elabena ame si kpe fu le eƒe ŋutilã me la, klã ɖa tso nu vɔ̃ gbɔ,
2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
Le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me le anyigba dzi la, menɔ agbe le ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzrowo nu o, ke boŋ ɖe Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu.
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.
Tsã la, miegblẽ ɣeyiɣi geɖe le nu siwo trɔ̃subɔlawo wɔna la me, esiwo nye ahiãwɔwɔ, nudzodzro vɔ̃wo, ahatsunono, nuɖuɖu vivivo, aglotutu vɔ̃wo kple trɔ̃subɔsubɔ ŋunyɔtɔ.
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.
Ewɔ moya na wo be miedo ɖi ɖe ŋunyɔnu ƒe tɔɖɔɖɔ sia me kpli wo o, eya ta woli kɔ dzu ɖe mia dzi gleglegle.
5 But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Ke hã la, ele na wo be woana akɔnta ame si le klalo be yeadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu agbagbeawo kple kukuawo.
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.
Susu sia ta wogblɔ nyanyui la na ame siwo ku va yi xoxo la hã, ale be togbɔ be le woƒe agbenɔnɔ le anyigba dzi me woto ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ si me amegbetɔ ɖe sia ɖe tona hã la, woate ŋu ava Mawu ƒe agbe la gbɔ le gbɔgbɔ me.
7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
Nuwo katã ƒe nuwuwu ɖo vɔ, eya ta minɔ mo xexi, eye miɖu mia ɖokui dzi, ale be miate ŋu ado gbe ɖa.
8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Ƒo nuwo katã ta la, milɔ̃ mia nɔewo vevie, elabena lɔlɔ̃ tsyɔa nu vɔ̃ ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ dzi.
9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
Mixɔ mia nɔewo ɖe miaƒe aƒewo me liʋĩliʋĩlilĩmanɔmee.
10 As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
Mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔmenunana asubɔ ame bubuwoe; abe subɔvi nyuiwo ene la, mima Mawu ƒe amenuveve la anukwaretɔe le mɔ vovovowo nu.
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)
Ne ame aɖe le nu ƒom la, neƒoe abe Mawu gbɔ nyawo tso ene. Ne ame aɖe le subɔsubɔm la, newɔe kple ŋusẽ si Mawu nae la katã, ale be le nuwo katã me la, woakafu Mawu to Yesu Kristo dzi. Eya tɔe nye ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (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.
Nɔvi veviwo, migana fuwɔame ƒe dodokpɔ si me tom miele la nawɔ nuku na mi abe nane si medzɔ kpɔ o lae le mia dzi vam ene o.
13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
Ke mikpɔ dzidzɔ be mienye fukpekpe siwo me Kristo to la ƒe gomekpɔlawo, ale be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nagbã go ne wòɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Ne wodzu mi le Kristo ƒe ŋkɔ ta la, woayra mi, elabena ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ si nye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la le mia dzi.
15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
Ne miekpe fu la, migakpee abe hlɔ̃dola, fiafitɔ alo nu tovo wɔla aɖe loo, alo ame si dea nu ame bubuwo ƒe nya me la ene o.
16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
Gake ne mia dometɔ aɖe akpe fu, elabena enye kristotɔ la, ŋu megakpee o, ke boŋ neda akpe na Mawu be woyɔ ŋkɔ sia ɖe eŋu.
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?
Elabena ɣeyiɣi de be ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ nadze egɔme tso Mawu ƒe ƒomea me; ke ne edze gɔme tso mía dzi la, ekema aleke woahanɔ na ame siwo meɖo to Mawu ƒe nyanyui la o?
18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Eye, “Nenye be bebli hafi ame dzɔdzɔe nakpɔ ɖeɖe la, ekema aleke wòanɔ na mawumavɔ̃lawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo?”
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Eya ta ame siwo kpea fu le Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu la netsɔ wo ɖokuiwo de asi na wo Wɔla nuteƒetɔwɔla la, eye woayi nu nyui wɔwɔ dzi.
