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.

Esiane sɛ Kristo hunuu amane ne honam mu enti, monsɔ saa adwene korɔ no ara mu mfa nhyɛ mo ho den. Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ wahunu amane wɔ honam mu no ne bɔne nni biribiara yɛ.

2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.

Ɛfiri seesei rekɔ no, mo nna a aka wɔ asase so ha no, ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔdi mo abrabɔ so na ɛnyɛ onipa akɔnnɔ.

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.

Moasɛe mmerɛ bebree de ayɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ abosonsomfoɔ na wɔyɛ. Motenaa ase wɔ ahohwie, akɔnnɔbɔne, nsãborɔ, agobɔne, adidimeeɛ ne abosonsom a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ mu.

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.

Seesei ɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa sɛ mo ne wɔn mmɔ mu mmu ahuhubra no bio, ɛno enti, wɔyeyɛ mo.

5 But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Nanso, wɔbɛbu wɔn ho nkonta akyerɛ Onyankopɔn a wasiesie ne ho bu ateasefoɔ ne awufoɔ atɛn no.

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.

Saa enti na wɔkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ awufoɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ wɔgyina wɔn asetena yi mu nneyɛeɛ so bu wɔn atɛn a wɔn honhom ne Onyankopɔn bɛtena.

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

Biribiara awieeɛ abɛn. Ɛsɛ sɛ mohyɛ mo ho so na mowɛn na moatumi abɔ mpaeɛ.

8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Yei akyi no, monnodɔ mo ho yie ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdɔ bunkam bɔne nyinaa so.

9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

Monnye mo ho ahɔhoɔ wɔ mo afie mu a huhuhuhu biara nni akyire.

10 As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.

Honhom mu adom a obiara anya no, ɔnnyina so mfa nsom afoforɔ.

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)

Sɛ obi reka asɛm a, ɔnka Onyankopɔn asɛm. Obiara a ɔsom no, ɔmfa ahoɔden a Onyankopɔn de ama no no nsom sɛdeɛ biribiara mu, wɔbɛfa Yesu Kristo so akamfo Onyankopɔn a animuonyam ne tumi wɔ no daadaa no. 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.

Anuanom, mommma amanehunu a morehunu no nnyɛ mo nwanwa te sɛ deɛ montee so asɛm da.

13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

Na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ mo ne Kristo rehunu amane sɛdeɛ mo ani bɛgye daa da a ɔbɛda nʼanimuonyam adi no.

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

Nhyira nka mo sɛ moyɛ Kristo akyidifoɔ enti wɔya mo. Yei kyerɛ sɛ animuonyam honhom a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom no wɔ mo so.

15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mu biara hunu amane sɛ owudifoɔ anaa owifoɔ anaa odwotwafoɔ anaa ɔsɛmpɛfoɔ,

16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.

Na sɛ mohunu amane wɔ mo Kristosom ho a, mommma mo ani nnwu, na mmom, monna Onyankopɔn ase sɛ moyɛ Kristo dea.

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?

Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu atɛn, na Onyankopɔn no ara nkurɔfoɔ na wɔbɛdi kane abu wɔn atɛn. Na sɛ ɛfiri yɛn so kane a, ɛbɛwie Asɛmpa no asoɔdenfoɔ no sɛn?

18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔbɛgye onipa pa nkwa; na wɔn a wɔnnye asɛm no nni ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no deɛ, ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛba wɔn so?”

19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

Ne saa enti, wɔn a wɔhunu amane sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho ma Ɔbɔadeɛ no na wɔkɔ so yɛ papa.
