1 Peter 4
1 FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
Nkinkaako, akambo kakuti Kkilisito wakachiswa kunyama, amuliyumye lwenu amuyeeyo ukozyenie. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uchiswa mumubili ulanzene acibi.
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
Impindu yakwe, muntu uloobo, chindi chakwe chingi kunyama, ngatacheendi mumakaanze anyama pe, pesi mumakaanze a Leza.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
Nkambo chindi chakinda chakakwana chenu kuti kamuchichita kuyanda kwabamasi, mwakali kupona mubumpelenge, mukwemuzya, mubukoolwi, amukuyobukomba mizimu itondwa.
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
Balachibona kachilichigambyo na babona kamutajatilaamwi ambabo mukuya buvuzya michito italuleme, nkinkaako banoya bwamba bubi atala andinywe.
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
Bayolivwilila kulinguwe oyo ulibambilide kuzobeteka bawumi abafwide.
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
Akambo kanchichechi Makani Mabotu nchakakambawukwa akubafwide, kuchitila kuti, nekuba kabanoli babetekwa kunyama mbuli bantu, balelede kuti kabapona mumuuya munzila iyanda Leza.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Magozezyo azintu zyonse aba afwifwi. Nkinkaako amulibatamike amuzezo mubotu, alubo amube amiyeyo mibotu kuchitila kuti kamunokomba.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Kwinda zyonse zintu, amusungwalile kuyandana umwi amwenzinyina, nkambo luyando luvumba mulwi wazibi.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
Amukabotezyanie umwi amwenzinyina katakwe ulila lila pe.
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Mbuli mbomwakapegwa zipego umwi awumwi, amuzibelesye kukugwasyania anzizyo mbuli babaanzi baluzyalo lwa-Leza muzyimo zisiyenesiyene.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Na kakuli uwambula, kwambuula kwakwe akube kwamajwi a Leza. Na kakuli ubeleka milimo, abeleke kazizwa kunguzu nzyamupa Leza. Amukachite zyoonse zintu kuchitila kuti munzila zyonse Leza akalumbayizigwe kwinda muli Jesu Kkilisito. Akube kuti kuli Jesu Kkilisito bulemu abwami zibe kulinguwe kwalyoonse alyonse. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
Nomuyandwa, mutazibwezi mbuli chigambyo amasukusyo ayaaka mbuli mulilo ayo akamuchitikila, mbotatedi nchimwi chintu chigambya chakali kuchitikila ndinywe.
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Pepe, anukuti muukuswanana amachise akaswanana a-Kkilisito, amukondwe, kuchitila kuti anywebo mukabotelwe kuchiindi echo bulemu bwakwe bwakuyubununwa.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Na mwakutukilwa nkambo kazina lya-Kkilisito, mulilongezezegwe, nkambo Muuya wabulemu antomwe a Muuya wa-Leza unoli ulokumusunka nywebo.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
Pesi kutabi naba omwe wenu uyochiswa nkambo kabujayi, kubba, na simuchita zibi, nanka sindimi zyobile.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Pesi na umwi wachiswa mbuli muzumini, atabi nawusa insoni pe; pesi kuti, ngalumbayizye Leza akambo kazina lyakwe.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Nkambo chaba chindi chakuti lubeta lutalike empuli yakwa Leza. Kuti lwatalika alindiswe, balachitilwa buti abo batazumini kumakani mabotu a Leza?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Alubo “na kachili chiyumu kubaluleme kuti bakafutulwe, ino bayoba buti abo batazumini antomwe abasizibi?”
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Nkenkaako akube kuti abo bachiswa nkambo kaluyando lwa Leza bapekezezye myuya yabo ku Mulengi usyomekede mukuchita zibotu.
