< 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;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, tondũ Kristũ nĩanyariirirwo mwĩrĩ-inĩ-rĩ, o na inyuĩ kĩĩhotorei mũrĩ na meciiria o ta macio aarĩ namo, tondũ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie kũnyariirwo mwĩrĩ nĩatiganĩte na mehia.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩa ũtigarĩte wa gũtũũra gũkũ thĩ ndarĩtũũraga nĩguo ahingagie merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, no arĩtũũraga nĩguo ekage ũrĩa Ngai endaga.
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:
Tondũ nĩmũtũũrĩte ihinda rĩa kũigana mũgĩkaga maũndũ marĩa andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai mendaga gwĩka, namo nĩ ta mĩtũũrĩre ya ũũra-thoni, na merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, na ũrĩĩu, na gũthiiaga maruga-inĩ ma waganu, o na ciathĩ-inĩ cia kũnyua njoohi, o na mũhooere ũrĩ thaahu wa kũhooya mĩhianano.
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
Nao andũ acio nĩmagegaga mona atĩ mũtiranyiitanĩra nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa marakĩrĩrĩria ũmaramari-inĩ ũcio wao, nao magakĩmũcambagia.
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
Nao no nginya makaaheana ũhoro wa maũndũ mao kũrĩ ũrĩa wĩhaarĩirie gũtuĩra ciira arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũhunjĩrio o na andũ arĩa makuĩte, nĩgeetha ha ũhoro wa mwĩrĩ magaatuĩrwo ciira o ta ũrĩa andũ arĩa angĩ magaatuĩrwo, no ha ũhoro wa roho matũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa Ngai atũũraga.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Ithirĩro rĩa maũndũ mothe nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikaragai mũrĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro, na mũikarage mũterigĩtwo nĩguo mũhotage kũhooya.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Ningĩ gũkĩra maũndũ mothe, ikaragai mwendaine mũno mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, tondũ wendani nĩũhumbagĩra mehia maingĩ.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
Ningĩ mũtuganage mũtekũnuguna.
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.
O mũndũ nĩ ahũthĩre kĩheo o gĩothe kĩrĩa amũkĩrĩte nĩguo atungatagĩre andũ arĩa angĩ, arĩ ta mũramati mwĩhokeku wa wega wa Ngai wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ.
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)
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo akĩaria-rĩ, nĩarie taarĩ mũndũ ũkũheana ciugo cia Ngai. Nake mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo agĩtungata-rĩ, nĩatungate na hinya ũrĩa ũheanagwo nĩ Ngai, nĩgeetha Ngai agoocagwo maũndũ-inĩ mothe thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ. Nake nĩwe ũgũtũũra arĩ na riiri na hinya nginya tene na tene. 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:
Arata akwa nyenda mũno, mũtikagegio nĩ magerio marĩa mũranyariirwo namo, taarĩ ũndũ mũgeni ũrekĩka thĩinĩ wanyu.
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.
No kenagai nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũgwatanĩire thĩinĩ wa kũnyariirĩka gwa Kristũ, nĩgeetha mũkaiyũrĩrĩrwo nĩ gĩkeno hĩndĩ ĩrĩa riiri wake ũkaaguũranĩrio.
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.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũngĩrumwo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Kristũ, nĩ ũndũ Roho ũrĩa ũrĩ na riiri, o we Roho wa Ngai, arĩ igũrũ rĩanyu.
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.
Mũndũ wanyu ndakananyariirwo ta mũũragani, kana mũici, kana mũgeri ngero ĩngĩ o yothe, o na kana ta mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtoonyagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ ma andũ angĩ.
16 Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩnyariirwo tondũ wa gũtuĩka Mũkristiano-rĩ, ndakanaconoke, no nĩagooce Ngai tondũ nĩaheetwo rĩĩtwa rĩu.
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?
Nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu ciira wambĩrĩrie gũtuĩrwo andũ a nyũmba ya Ngai; na angĩkorwo ũkwambĩrĩria na ithuĩ-rĩ, gũgaagĩtuĩka atĩa harĩ arĩa mataathĩkagĩra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Na rĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu kũhonoka-rĩ, naguo ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai na ũrĩa mwĩhia ũgaakĩhaana atĩa?”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, andũ arĩa manyariirĩkaga kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai endete, nĩmaheane mĩoyo yao kũrĩ Mũũmbi wao ũrĩa wa kwĩhokeka, na mathiĩ na mbere gwĩkaga maũndũ mega.
