1 Peter 4
1 Since Christ suffered physically, you must prepare yourselves with the same attitude he had—for those who suffer physically have turned away from sin.
Naizvozvo, sezvo Kristu akatambudzika mumuviri wake, nemiwo muzvishongedze nomurangariro iwoyo, nokuti uyo akatambudzika mumuviri wake akarega chivi.
2 You will not live the rest of your lives following human desires, but doing what God wants.
Nokuda kwaizvozvo, haagari upenyu hwake hwose hwapanyika pakuchiva kwavanhu kwakaipa, asi mukuda kwaMwari.
3 In the past you've spent enough time following the ways of the world: immorality, sexual indulgence, drunken orgies, partying, binge drinking, and revolting idol-worship.
Nokuti nguva yakapfuura yakaringana kare yamakapedza muchiita kuda kwavahedheni yamairarama muutere, kuchiva, kudhakwa, kutamba kwakaipa, kuraradza nokunamata zvifananidzo zvinonyangadza.
4 People think it's strange that you don't join them anymore in this wild and excessive lifestyle, so they curse at you. But they will have to explain what they've done to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Vanofunga kuti zvinoshamisa kuti imi hamuchapindi pamwe chete navo mukurarama kwokusazvidzora kwavo kuzhinji, uye vanokutukai kwazvo.
5 That's why the good news was shared with those who've already died—
Asi vachazvidavirira kuna iye akazvigadzirira kutonga vapenyu navakafa.
6 so that although they were rightly judged as far as being sinful human beings is concerned, they could live in the spirit as far as God is concerned.
Nokuti nokuda kwaizvozvi vhangeri rakaparidzwa kunyange nokuna vakafa, kuitira kuti vagotongwa nomutoo wavanhu nokuda kwenyama, asi vagorarama nomutoo waMwari nokuda kwomweya.
7 Everything is coming to an end! So think clearly and stay alert when you pray.
Kuguma kwezvinhu zvose kwava pedyo. Naizvozvo ndangariro dzenyu ngadzichene uye muzvidzore kuti mugogona kunyengetera.
8 Most of all, you should love one another very deeply, for love covers many of the wrong things people do.
Pamusoro paizvozvo zvose dananai norudo rukuru, nokuti rudo runofukidza zvivi zvizhinji.
9 Show hospitality to each another, and don't complain.
Muitirane rudo kuno mumwe nomumwe wenyu musinganyunyuti.
10 Whatever gift you've been given, share it with others among you, as people who wisely demonstrate God's grace in all its different forms.
Mumwe nomumwe ngaashandise chipo chaanacho kuti ashandire vamwe, akatendeka muutariri hwenyasha dzaMwari mukuwanda kwadzo.
11 Anyone who speaks should do so as though God is speaking through them. Anyone who wants to help others should do so through the strength that God gives, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. May glory and power be his forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kana munhu achitaura, ngaadaro somunhu anotaura mashoko chaiwo aMwari. Kana munhu achishumira, ngaazviite nesimba raanopiwa naMwari, kuitira kuti muzvinhu zvose Mwari arumbidzwe kubudikidza naJesu Kristu. Iye ngaave nokubwinya nesimba nokusingaperi-peri. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 My friends, don't be alarmed at the “ordeals of fire” you're having, as if these were unexpected.
Vadikani, musashamiswa nokurwadza kwokutambudzika nemiedzo, sokunge chinhu chisingazivikanwi chaitika kwamuri.
13 Be happy to the extent that you share in Christ's suffering, because when he appears in his glory, you will be incredibly happy!
Asi farai kuti munogovana naKristu mumatambudziko, kuitira kuti mufare kwazvo pakuonekwa kwokubwinya kwake.
14 If you are cursed in Christ's name, you're blessed, for God's glorious spirit rests on you.
Kana muchitukwa nokuda kwezita raKristu, makaropafadzwa, nokuti mweya wokubwinya nowaMwari unogara pamuri.
15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or as a gossip—
Ngakurege kuva nomumwe wenyu achatambudzika, nemhaka yokuti imhondi, kana mbavha, kana kuti anoita zvimwe zvakaipa zvemhando ipi zvayo, kana kusarega zvavamwe.
16 but if it's as a Christian, then you don't need to be ashamed. Instead praise God that you're called by that name!
Kunyange zvakadaro, kana muchitambudzika somuKristu, musanyadziswa, asi rumbidzai Mwari nokuti mune zita iroro.
17 For the time of judgment has come—and it begins with the house of God. If it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's good news?
Nokuti inguva yokuti kutonga kutange mumba maMwari; uye kana kuchitanga nesu, zvichazoveiko kuna vaya vasingateereri vhangeri raMwari?
18 “If it's hard for those who live right to be saved, what will happen to sinners, those who oppose God?”
Uye, “Kana zvichiremera akarurama kuti aponeswe, ko, asingazivi Mwari nomutadzi vachazovei?”
19 So then those who suffer according to the will of God, the trustworthy Creator, should make sure they are doing good.
Saka zvino, vaya vanotambudzika nokuda kwaMwari vanofanira kuzviisa kuMusiki wavo akatendeka uye vagoramba vachiita zvakanaka.
