1 Peter 5
1 Therefore I, being a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, also a communicant of the glory which is about to be revealed, exhort the elders who are among you:
Vatariri vari pakati penyu ndinovakurudzira, vandiri mutariri pamwe navo nechapupu chematambudziko aKristu, nemugovani wekubwinya kuchazoratidzwa.
2 shepherdize the flock of God which is among you, not coercively, but willingly, for the sake of God; not for filthy lucre, but cheerfully.
Fudzai boka raMwari riri pakati penyu, muchitaridzira, kwete nekurovererwa asi nekuda, kwete nekuda kwekukarira fuma yakaipa, asi nechido,
3 Not as domineering over the heritages, but having become examples of the flock:
kana kuva semadzishe pane vamakagoverwa, asi muri mifananidzo yeboka.
4 and chief Shepherd having appeared, you shall receive a crown of glory which will never fade away.
Zvino Mufudzi mukuru paachaonekwa muchagamuchira korona yekubwinya isingabvuruvari.
5 Likewise, you younger men, submit to the elders: and all put on humility toward one another; because God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
Saizvozvo, vadiki, zviisei pasi pevakuru, uye mese muzviise pasi umwe kune mumwe, mupfekedzwe nekuzvininipisa, nokuti Mwari anopikisa vanozvikudza, asi anopa nyasha vanozvininipisa.
6 Therefore humble yourselves beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up in due time:
Naizvozvo zvininipisei pasi peruoko rwune simba rwaMwari, kuti akukudzei panguva yakafanira,
7 having cast all your care upon him; because there is a care to him concerning you.
muchikandira pamusoro pake kufunganya kwenyu kwese, nokuti iye ane hanya nemwi.
8 Be sober, watch. The devil is walking round like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour:
Svinurai, rindai, nokuti mupikisi wenyu dhiabhorosi, seshumba inoomba anofamba-famba achitsvaka waangapedza;
9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.
mumupikise makasimba parutendo, muchiziva kuti matambudziko iwawo anozadziswa kuhama dzenyu dziri panyika.
10 But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Asi Mwari wenyasha dzese, iye wakatidanira mukubwinya kwake kusingaperi muna Kristu Jesu, kana tatambudzika chinguvana, iye anokupedzeredzai nekukutsigisai, nekukupai simba, nekukuteyai. (aiōnios g166)
Kwaari ngakuve kubwinya nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.
NaSirivhano hama yakatendeka kwamuri, pakufunga kwangu, ndanyora nepadiki, ndichikurudzira nekupupura kuti idzi ndidzo nyasha dzechokwadi dzaMwari, dzamumire madziri.
13 The elect sister who is in Babylon, and my son Mark, salute you.
Kereke iri muBhabhironi yakasarudzwa pamwe nemwi inokukwazisai, naMariko mwanakomana wangu.
14 Salute one another with a holy kiss. Peace be unto you all who are in Christ.
Kwazisanai nekutsvoda kwerudo. Rugare kwamuri mese muri muna Kristu Jesu. Ameni.
