1 Peter 5
1 As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
Nikabhasili bhaseya bhabhaj'hele miongoni mwinu, nene, j'hanij'hele nsaya njabhi na shahidi ghwa malombosi gha Kristu, na ambaj'he vilevile ni mshirika mu bhutukufu bhwabhwibetakudhihirika.
2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
Henu nikabhapela muoyo muenga bhasaya, mulichungai likundi lya k'yara lyalij'hele miongoni mwinu. Mulilangai, sio kwandabha mwilondeka, lakini kwa ndabha mwilonda aghu, kul'engana ni k'yara. Mulilangai, sio kwa kugana hela sya soni, lakini kwa kugana.
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
Msibhombi mabwana juu j'ha bhanu bhabhaj'hele pasi j'ha bhuangalizi bhwinu, lakini mujhiaghe mfuano mu likundi.
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Pale mchungaji m'mbaha paibetakudhihirisibhwa, m'beta kujhipokela litaji lya bhutukufu j'hajhibeli kujhesya bhusamani bhwake.
5 Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Vilevile, muenga bhasongolo bhadebe, mkitengulilaghe kwa bhabhaha bhinu. Muenga mwe bhoha, uvaeni bhutengulisi ni kuhudumilana j'homu kwa j'homu, kwani k'yara akabhapinga bhenye kiburi, lakini ikabhapela neema bhatengulisi.
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
Kwa hyo mkitengulidagha pasi pa mabhokho gha k'yara j'haaj'hele hodari ili abha j'hinulaghe kwa bhwakati bhwake.
7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Mubhekaghe fadhaa syinu panani pake, kwandabha akabhajali.
8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Muj'hiaghe ni busara, muj'hiaghe bhaangalifu. J'hola adui j'hinu ibilisi kama limba j'haiunguruma inyatila, pailonda munu ghwa kundamra.
9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
Muj'hemayi kinyume kyake. Muj'hiaghe ni ngofu mu imani j'hinu. Mkamanyiayi kuj'ha bhalongobhinu bhajele kumbinguni bhip'hetela malombosi kama aghu.
10 And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
Baada j'ha kul'ombosi bhwa kwa muda lukhombi, k'yara ghwa neema j'haankutili mu bhutukufu bhwa milele mugati mwa Kristu, ibetakubhakamilisya, ibetakubhakangamisya ni kubhapela ngofu. (aiōnios g166)
Enzi j'hij'hiaghe kwa muene milele na milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
Nikan'thamini Silwano kama ndongobhangu mwaminifu, na nibhalenibili muenga kwa kifupi kup'hetela kwa muene. Nikabhapela muoyo nanishuhudila kuj'ha kyanikilembili ni neema jha bhukweli j'ha k'yara. Mujhemaghe mugati mwake.
13 The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
Bhaamini bhabhajhele Babeli, bhabhasilibhu pamonga namu, bhakabhasalimu, ni Marko mwanabhangu, akabhasalimu.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Muponesianaghe kila mmonga kwa busu lya luganu. Ni amani ijhelayi kwa muenga mwamujhele mugati mwa Kristu.
