1 Peter 5
1 Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to 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 that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
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 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
Kanji mu chitì sina muvusa hewulu lya vantu vena mu mpabalelo yenu. kono, muve mutala ku mutapi.
4 and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
Cwale Mulisani Mukulwana cha wumbulwa, mu mu tambule vu simwine vwe nkanya.
5 In like manner, you young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble;
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 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
Cwalehe mulikokoveze mwikonde lya manza eziho e Ireza iri kuti nawole kumi nyemuna mwinako ikeza.
7 having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
Muvike impiraelo zenu hali, kakuli u virela kuamana na nwe.
8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
Muve ni muhupulo u chena, mu tondere. Chila chenu, iye diavulusi, uvu undavu ukwete kulira nazimboka, ku gana zumwi weta halole.
9 whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished 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 And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, 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 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.
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 in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
Mukulwakazi wina mwa Vavilona, yo ketetwe hamwina nanwe, umi lumerisa. Hamwina ni Mareka, mwanangu we chikwame, umi lumerisa.
14 Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
Mulumerise zumwi ni zumwi che michuchuno ye rato. Mi inkozo ive kwenu mwense vena mwa Keresite.
