< 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.
Kulwejo, kulwo kubha Kristo anyakile mu mubhili, mbe nimufwale ebhigwato kwo Mwoyo gupta gulya. Omwene anyakile mu mubhili amalile okusigana ne bhibhibhi. Omunu unu atakulamulwa lindi okulama mu namba yo mubhili, nawe mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga, kwo bhulame bhwaye bhunu bhatasigile.
2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
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.
Kulwo kubha omwanya gunu gwatulilewo gweile okukola emisango ja bhanu bha Maanga bhanu abhenda okukola obhumuke, kubha na Mwoyo mubhibhi, obhutamiji, inamba, obhulengelesi bhwe chipagani no kulamiya ebhisusano ebhyo kufululusha.
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.
Abheganilisha ati ni bhilugulo ungwa nimwichunda okukola emisango ejo amwi nabho, kwibhyo abhaika amanyamuke ingulu yemwe.
5 But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Abhasosha okubhala kumwene unu ali bhwangu okulamula bhanu bhali bhaaanga na bhafuye.
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.
Kunsonga inu omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwasimuywe ku bhene bhanu bhaliga bhafuye, nolwo ati bhanu bhamalile okulamulwa mu mibhili jebhwe nolwo abhana munu, koleleki bhatule okulama okulubhana na Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.
7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
Kubhutelo bhwe misango jona obhuja. kulwejo, mubhe no bhumenyi bhunu bhukamlikile, na mubhe na Mwoyo gwekisi ingulu ya lisabhwa lyemwe.
8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Chichali kumala emisango jona, mbe nimukomelega mu kwenda ku bhuli umwi, kulwo kubha okwenda kutakuyenja kusululwa bhibhibhi ebhya bhandi.
9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
Nimweleshega obhufula ku bhuli umwi kwitonganila uli.
10 As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
Lwa kutyo bhuli umwi wemwe agabhiywe ebhiyanwa, nimufulubhendanilega kuti bhanu bhanu bhemeleleguyu kisi lwe bhiyanwa ebhindi bhinu ebhisosibhwa kutye-la na Nyamuanga.
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 )
Bhuli munu akaika, na jibhega kuti ni melesho ga Nyamuanga, no munu akafulubhenda, na jibhega kuti ni bhutulo bhunu ayanilwe na Nyamuanga, koleleki ati bhuli musango Nyamuanga abhega nakusibhwa okulabha ku Yesu Kristo. Likusho no bhuinga bhibhega ku mwene kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (aiōn )
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
Abhendwa, mwasiga lubhala ingulu yo kusakwa kunu okuja okubhasaka owe chinu chigenyi, nolwo kutyo chiliwo chinu chigenyi chinu chaliga nichibhonekana kwemwe.
13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo omugendelela okubhala obhumanyile bhwa jinyako ja Kristo, nimukondelwe, koleleki ati mukondelwe one no kusandabha mu bhusuluko bhwa likusho lyaye.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Nolwo kutyo omufumwa ingulu ya lisina Lya Kristo, muna libhando, ku nsonga ya Mwoyo wa likusho na Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga enyanjile kwimwe.
15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
Mbe nawe asiga kubhawo wona wona owl kunyasibhwa kuti Mwoyo, mwifi, unu kakola amabhibhi, amwi unu kafulubhenda ne misango ja bhandi.
16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
Mbe nawe alabha omunu kanyasibhwa lwa Kristo, asiga kulola nswalo, nawe amukushe Nyamuanga mwisina elyo.
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?
Kulwo kubha omwanya gwakingile ku ndamu okwambila mu nyumba ya Nyamuanga. Alabha ikambila kweswe, mbe ejibha atiki ku bhalya bhanu bhatakugwolobhela omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga?
18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Mbe alabha, “Omulengelesi kakisibhwa okulabha ku makomee, ejibha atiki ku munu unu atali mulengelesi no we bhibhibhi?
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Kulwejo bhona bhanu abhanyaka okulubhana no kwenda kwa Nyamuanga nibhatule emitima jebhwe ku mumogi omwiikanyibhwa koleleki bhabhe nibhakola eje kisi.
