1 Peter 5
1 THE presbyters among you I exhort, who am a co-presbyter and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed:
Ni lumba va vakulwana mukati kenu, Ime, neme ni mukulwana. Neme ni mpaki ya masukuluko a Keresite, neme ni zumwi mu nkanya yete ni i wulwe.
2 feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind;
Cwale, ni mi kuteka, vakulwana, mu lise nenza muraka we ngu za Ireza zina mukati kenu. Muzi lole, insiñi kevaka lya kuti mu saka vulyo, kono akuli nanwe mu saka, che ntato ya Ireza. Mu zi lole, isiñi cha kusa sepa masheleñi, kono chaku saka.
3 not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock.
Kanji mu chitì sina muvusa hewulu lya vantu vena mu mpabalelo yenu. kono, muve mutala ku mutapi.
4 And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.
Cwale Mulisani Mukulwana cha wumbulwa, mu mu tambule vu simwine vwe nkanya.
5 In like manner, ye who are younger persons, be in subjection to your elders: but all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed from head to foot with humility: for God sets himself in opposition to the proud, but he giveth grace to the lowly.
Mu nzila iswana, inwe muva hwire, muli voze hansi ku va kulwana vakwame. Mwense vulyo, muli zwatike muvuikokovezo ni ku tusana zumwi cha zumwi. Kakuli Ireza ukanina valikumusa, kono uha chishemo kwa vana vali kokoveza.
6 Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season:
Cwalehe mulikokoveze mwikonde lya manza eziho e Ireza iri kuti nawole kumi nyemuna mwinako ikeza.
7 casting all your anxiety upon him; for he careth for you.
Muvike impiraelo zenu hali, kakuli u virela kuamana na nwe.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:
Muve ni muhupulo u chena, mu tondere. Chila chenu, iye diavulusi, uvu undavu ukwete kulira nazimboka, ku gana zumwi weta halole.
9 against whom stand fast, firm in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are fully endured by the brotherhood which is in the world.
Muzimane cho kumulwisa. Muve va kolete mwi ntumero yenu. Mwizi kuti manyando a swana akwete kuhitiwa mu ali kuva lumeri kuninenu mu nkanda.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Chimwa mana kunyanda kavaka zana, Ireza we chishemo chonse, yava misupi mwikanya ina mwa Keresite, kami kondise, kumi zimika ni kumi koza. (aiōnios g166)
Kwali kuve ni vulena kuya kwi ire ni ire. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I think, I have written to you a few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye are standing fast.
Ni zuminina Silvanus sina muzwale yo sepahala, mi chi ni va miñolera chovu fuhi chakwe. Ni mi lumerisa mi nipaka kwenu kuti ziniva miñoleri njo vuniti bwe chishemo che Ireza. Muzimane mwateni.
13 She who is co-elect at Babylon, saluteth you, and my son Mark.
Mukulwakazi wina mwa Vavilona, yo ketetwe hamwina nanwe, umi lumerisa. Hamwina ni Mareka, mwanangu we chikwame, umi lumerisa.
14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Mulumerise zumwi ni zumwi che michuchuno ye rato. Mi inkozo ive kwenu mwense vena mwa Keresite.
