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 ɔpanin no, metu asafo no mu mpanimfoɔ fo sɛ, meyɛ Kristo amanehunu no ho adanseɛ enti nʼanimuonyam a ɛbɛba no bɛka me. Metu mo fo sɛ,
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 nnwan a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no nnwanhwɛfoɔ na monhwɛ wɔn yie sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ no. Monyɛ adwuma a monhwehwɛ ho akatua biara, na mmom, pɛ ara na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ.
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 nhwɛsoɔ pa mma nnwan no.
4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a glorious crown that will never fade.
Na sɛ Odwanhwɛfoɔ panin no ba a, wɔbɛma mo animuonyam ahenkyɛ a ɛho nsɛe 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 mmabunu, mobrɛ mo ho ase ma mpanimfoɔ. Mo nyinaa mfa ahobrɛaseɛ nkatanimu mmɔ mo asene na monsom mo ho mo ho ɛfiri sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Onyankopɔn si ahantanfoɔ ɛkwan na ɔdom ahobrɛasefoɔ.”
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 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma mo so wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
Momfa mo dadwene ne mo haw nyinaa nto ne so ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwene 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 ɛfiri sɛ, mo ɔtamfoɔ bonsam no nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔm hwehwɛ deɛ ɔbɛnya no amene.
9 Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles.
Momfa gyidie nnyina pintinn nsi no ɛkwan ɛfiri sɛ, monim sɛ mo nuanom agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa rehunu saa amane korɔ 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 Onyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa animuonyam no mu Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ monya hunu amane kakra ansa a, ɔbɛsiesie mo pɛ; ɔbɛma mo ase atim; ɔbɛhyɛ mo den; ɔbɛma mo anya nnyinasoɔ. (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 maa metwerɛɛ saa krataa tiawa yi. Mepɛ sɛ mehyɛ mo nkuran na medi adanseɛ sɛ, yei yɛ Onyankopɔn adom kann. Monnyina 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 kyea 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 nkyeakyea mo ho mo ho. Asomdwoeɛ nka mo a mowɔ Kristo mu no nyinaa.
