1 Peter 5
1 I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:
Ni lumba va vakulwana mukati kenu, Ime, neme ni mukulwana. Neme ni mpaki ya masukuluko a Keresite, neme ni zumwi mu nkanya yete ni i wulwe.
2 Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;
Cwale, ni mi kuteka, vakulwana, mu lise nenza muraka we ngu za Ireza zina mukati kenu. Muzi lole, insiñi kevaka lya kuti mu saka vulyo, kono akuli nanwe mu saka, che ntato ya Ireza. Mu zi lole, isiñi cha kusa sepa masheleñi, kono chaku saka.
3 Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Kanji mu chitì sina muvusa hewulu lya vantu vena mu mpabalelo yenu. kono, muve mutala ku mutapi.
4 And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.
Cwale Mulisani Mukulwana cha wumbulwa, mu mu tambule vu simwine vwe nkanya.
5 And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.
Mu nzila iswana, inwe muva hwire, muli voze hansi ku va kulwana vakwame. Mwense vulyo, muli zwatike muvuikokovezo ni ku tusana zumwi cha zumwi. Kakuli Ireza ukanina valikumusa, kono uha chishemo kwa vana vali kokoveza.
6 For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;
Cwalehe mulikokoveze mwikonde lya manza eziho e Ireza iri kuti nawole kumi nyemuna mwinako ikeza.
7 Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.
Muvike impiraelo zenu hali, kakuli u virela kuamana na nwe.
8 Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;
Muve ni muhupulo u chena, mu tondere. Chila chenu, iye diavulusi, uvu undavu ukwete kulira nazimboka, ku gana zumwi weta halole.
9 Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.
Muzimane cho kumulwisa. Muve va kolete mwi ntumero yenu. Mwizi kuti manyando a swana akwete kuhitiwa mu ali kuva lumeri kuninenu mu nkanda.
10 And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing; (aiōnios g166)
Chimwa mana kunyanda kavaka zana, Ireza we chishemo chonse, yava misupi mwikanya ina mwa Keresite, kami kondise, kumi zimika ni kumi koza. (aiōnios g166)
Kwali kuve ni vulena kuya kwi ire ni ire. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it.
Ni zuminina Silvanus sina muzwale yo sepahala, mi chi ni va miñolera chovu fuhi chakwe. Ni mi lumerisa mi nipaka kwenu kuti ziniva miñoleri njo vuniti bwe chishemo che Ireza. Muzimane mwateni.
13 She who is in Babylon, who has a part with you in the purpose of God, sends you her love; and so does my son Mark.
Mukulwakazi wina mwa Vavilona, yo ketetwe hamwina nanwe, umi lumerisa. Hamwina ni Mareka, mwanangu we chikwame, umi lumerisa.
14 Give one another the kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.
Mulumerise zumwi ni zumwi che michuchuno ye rato. Mi inkozo ive kwenu mwense vena mwa Keresite.
