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.
Me a meyɛ ɔpanyin no, mitu asafo no mu mpanyimfo fo se, meyɛ Kristo amanehunu no ho dansefo nti nʼanuonyam a wɔbɛda no adi no bɛka me bi. Mitu mo fo se,
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.
monyɛ nguan a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no nguanhwɛfo na monhwɛ wɔn yiye sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ no. Monyɛ adwuma a monhwehwɛ ho akatua biara, na mmom pɛ ara na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ. Adom ne asomdwoe mmunkam mo so.
3 Don't be arrogant, lording it over those who have been put in your care, but be an example to the flock.
Monnhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no so, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛso pa mma nguan no.
4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a glorious crown that will never fade.
Na sɛ Oguanhwɛfo panyin no ba a, wɔbɛma mo anuonyam ahenkyɛw a ɛrempa da.
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.”
Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ mo a moyɛ mmabun no, mobrɛ mo ho ase ma mpanyimfo. Mo nyinaa mfa ahobrɛase nkataanim mmɔ mo asen na monsom mo ho mo ho efisɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Onyankopɔn siw ahantanfo kwan na ɔdom ahobrɛasefo.”
6 Humble yourself before God's powerful hand so that he will lift you up at the appropriate time.
Enti mommrɛ mo ho ase nhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa a tumi wɔ mu no ase, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma mo so wɔ bere a ɛsɛ mu.
7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
Momfa mo dadwen ne mo haw nyinaa nto ne so, efisɛ odwen mo ho.
8 Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Mo ani nna hɔ; monwɛn, efisɛ mo tamfo bonsam no nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔ mu hwehwɛ nea obenya no amene.
9 Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles.
Momfa gyidi nnyina pintinn nsiw no kwan efisɛ munim sɛ mo nuanom agyidifo a wɔwɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa rehu saa amane koro no ara bi.
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)
Na adom nyinaa Nyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa anuonyam mu wɔ Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ munya hu amane kakra ansa a, obesiesie mo pɛ; ɔbɛma mo ase atim; ɔbɛhyɛ mo den; ɔbɛma moanya nnyinaso. (aiōnios g166)
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!
Me nua ogyidini Silwano na ɔboaa me ma mekyerɛw saa krataa tiaa yi. Mepɛ sɛ mehyɛ mo nkuran na midi adanse se eyi yɛ Onyankopɔn adom kann. Munnyina mu dennen.
13 The believers here in “Babylon,” chosen together with you, send their greetings to you, as does Mark, my son.
Asafo a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔ Babilonia no ne me ba Marko kyia mo.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Momfa ɔdɔ atuuyɛ wɔ Kristo mu nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho. Asomdwoe nka mo a mowɔ Kristo mu no nyinaa.
