1 Peter 5
1 I want to encourage the elders among you. I'm also an elder, a witness to Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that is to come.
Enibhelembeleja abhakaluka bhanu bhalimo mwime, anye, unu nili mukaluka wejabho no mubhambasi wa jinyako ja Kristo, noyo ali musangi mwikusho lya bhunu bhwakabhulisibhwe.
2 Look after God's flock you have been given to care for, watching over it not because you're forced to, but gladly, as God wants you to. Do this willingly, not looking to make a profit from it.
Kulwejo, enibhatamo omwoyo emwe bhakaluka, nimulilebhe liijo lya Nyamuanga linu libhalimo. Nimulilole, atali ati kunsonga kubheile, mbe nawe kunsonga omuligila kutyo, okulubhana na Nyamuanga. Nimulilolele, atali kwo kwenda jimpilya ja jinswalo, mbe nawe kwo kwenda.
3 Don't be arrogant, lording it over those who have been put in your care, but be an example to the flock.
Mwasiga kwikola bhakulu ingulu ya bhanu bhanu bhali emwalo yo bhwangalisi bhwemwe, mbe nawe nimubhe chijejekanyo kwiijo.
4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a glorious crown that will never fade.
Anu Nyamuanga omukulu alibhonekana, mulilamila olutenga lwa likusho lunu lutakubhusha bhugusi bhwacho.
5 Young people, do what the elders tell you. Indeed all of you should serve one another in humility, because “God is against the proud, but favors the humble.”
Nko kutyo, nemwe abhasigaji abhatoto, nimubholobhele abhakulu bhemwe. Emwe bhona, nimubhufwale obhwolobhe no kufulubhendelana emwe abhene kwa bhene, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga kabhalema abhe chigundu, mbe nawe kabhayana echigongo bhanu abholobhe.
6 Humble yourself before God's powerful hand so that he will lift you up at the appropriate time.
Kulwejo mwolobhega emwalo yo kubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kunu kuli kuyali koleleki ati abhenamushe kwo mwanya gwaye.
7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
Nimumuteleko jinyako jemwe ingulu yaye, kulwo kubha kabhegana.
8 Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Mbe nimubhe no bhwenge, nimubhe bhetegelesha. Omusoko wemwe ulya, lishetani, ali lwa Intale inu eibhuta kenu nitebha, niyenda omunu wo kutemula.
9 Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles.
Nimwimelegulu mutasikene nage. Nimubhega na managa mulikilisha lyemwe. Nimumenyega ati abhasu bhanu bhali muchalo bhajibhwene jinyako lwejo.
10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, support you, strengthen you, and give you a solid foundation. (aiōnios g166)
Mbe kukilawo ejo ejo kunyaka kwo mwanya mutoto, Nyamuanga we chigongo chona, unu abhabhilikiye mwikusho lya kajanende mu Kristo, kabhakumisha, kabhakomesha no kubhakumanya amanaga. (aiōnios g166)
Obhuinga bhubhe ku mwene Kajanende na kajanende. Amina (aiōn g165)
12 With the help of Silvanus, whom I consider a trustworthy brother, I send this letter to you. In these few words I've written I want to encourage you and testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in God's grace!
Enimwenda Silwano kuti wasu mwiikanyibhwa, na nibhandikiye emwe mu chifuyi okulabha ku mwene. Enibhatulamo omwoyo na enibhambalila ati chinu jandikilwe ni chigongo che chimali cha Nyamuanga. Nimwimelegulu mu mwene.
13 The believers here in “Babylon,” chosen together with you, send their greetings to you, as does Mark, my son.
Abhekilisha bhanu bhali Bhabheli, bhanu bhasolelwe amwi nemwe, abhabhakesha.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Nimukeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kunyunyana kwe lyenda. No mulembe gubhe kwimwe bhanu muli mu Kristo.
