1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered on our behalf in flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mentality (for the one who has ‘suffered in flesh’ has been made to cease from sin)
Naki, nitu wa Yesu Aye tiya nimi kpa u nma ni yi, kakpa mbi ni imren ni nkoh ndindima. U ndji wa-atiya ni kpa yi ana he ni lla-tre na.
2 so as not to live your remaining time in flesh for human lusts any longer, but for the will of God.
Nitu ki, indji ki, ni-mbru son ma nimi kpa yi, ana la tie ndu soh suron ba ndji ngana, u ani tie son suron Irji.
3 Because the time that has passed is plenty for you to have performed the will of the pagans—having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, carousings and disgusting idolatries—
Inton babrah a kle ye wa ki soh si tie kpi wa ndji bi wa bana toh Irji na ba wa ba tie - tishishi, yo suron, iso-kpie, iso hi, meme ro ni hu-mba ntankpah me.
4 in regard to which they are disagreeably surprised at your not running with them into the same flood of debauchery, reviling you;
Ni mre-mba, ba ya ndi a kpe sá ma to bina huba ni tie memme ro'a, u ba kma si tre memme nitu mbi.
5 they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead
Ko nha ni bla kpie biwa ba tie ni ndji wa'a soh si gben doh du vu bi lla-tre, biwa ba qu ni biwa ba rihen qu.
6 (which is precisely why dead ones were once evangelized, that they should be judged as men in flesh, to be sure, but that they should live according to God in spirit).
Nitu ki ba hla tre Irji ni biwa ba qu ngame, ni tu wa ba bla tre bawu ni wa ba hei ni vri na ndi, ama ba sun ni Ruhu Irji ni ndu ma.
7 The end of all things has approached; therefore be serious and self-controlled in your praying.
Ko nge si tie hwihre u kle ye. Vu suron ni sunti, ni mmre me nitu bre Irji.
8 Above all things your love for one another should be constant, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Ko shishi ni ko nge, bika son kpa mbi, toh bi son kpa-mbi ani ka memme wa njo tie.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Vu kpa-mbi nji mgbamgba me ndi na tre memme na.
10 As each has received a gift, minister it to one another as good administrators of God's varied grace.
wa ko nha mbi kpa nenne ma, tie ndu ni wu ndi zo kpa-mbi. Tie ndu Irji ni njanji ni koma biyi wa a no yi.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as utterances of God. If anyone serves, let it be as from strength as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion throughout the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Toh ri mbi tre, dun tie na a ndji wa asi tie tre Irji. To njo si tie ndu, dun tie-u rji ni mgbemgblen wa Irji nji ye. Tie ba naki, dun Irji kpa gbire san ni nde Yesu Kristi. Dun nde Yesu Kristi kpa dokaka ni iko rji ni zizan hra-bada. Ami. (aiōn g165)
12 Dear ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you as a test, as though something strange was happening to you,
Mmri vayi, na ya ndi a kpe sá ma na wa ba tsra yi ni llu, na kpe sá mba si tie yi.
13 but to the extent that you share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that at the revelation of His glory you also may rejoice a great deal more.
Ko tö bi tie yá babran nitu nde Kristi, kpa-u ngiri, u naki bi la kpa ngiri niwa ba byu dokaka ma.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of the glory and of God has come to rest upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
Tö ba mre yi nitu nde Kristi'a, bi kpa lulu, nitu Ruhu u dokaka ni Ruhu Irji wa-a kakru nimi mbi.
15 Now do not any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in others' affairs;
Na dun njo-mbi dun tie ya na bi wu ndji, ndji-u yibi, ndji u tie memme, ko ndji wa'a ni ri-tre wa-ana uma na.
16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
To njo tie ya na-u Krista, dun na klu shan na; dun tie ndu ni nde ndindi'a nda nzuh nde Irji.
17 Because the time has come for judgment to begin at God's house; now if it starts with us, what will be the end of those who keep disobeying the Gospel of God?
i nton u tie sheriya wa ba guchi tie ni koh Irji. To ba guchi tie ni ta, ahi nge ni he ni biwa bana kpa wõ tre Irji-a na.
18 Also, ‘If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful person appear?’
U, “tö ndji wa ani hu Irji-a ati-u ya dun kpa-u chuwo, u nihe ndji wa ana hu Irji na ni tie?”
19 And so let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
Nitu wayi, biwa ba tie ya nitu Irji ba ka suron mba yo ni tu Irji wa a tie ta dun tie ndindi ni tawu.
