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,
Abadala abaphakathi kwenu ngiyabakhuthaza engingomdala kanye labo lomfakazi wenhlupheko zikaKristu, lomhlanganyeli wenkazimulo ezakwembulwa:
2 feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
Yelusani umhlambi kaNkulunkulu ophakathi kwenu, liwubonise kungabi ngokubanjwa ngamandla, kodwa ngesihle; njalo kungabi ngenxa yenzuzo elihlazo, kodwa ngokuvuma,
3 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
futhi lingabi njengababusi kulabo elabelwa bona, kodwa libe yizibonelo zomhlambi.
4 and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
Kuzakuthi lapho uMelusi omkhulu esebonakele lizakwemukela umqhele wobukhosi ongabuniyo.
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;
Ngokunjalo, batsha, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwabadala; njalo lonke zehliseni omunye komunye, zembathiseni ukuthobeka; ngoba uNkulunkulu umelana labazigqajayo, kodwa abathobekileyo uyabapha umusa.
6 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
Ngakho zehliseleni ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esilamandla, ukuze aliphakamise ngesikhathi esifaneleyo,
7 having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
liphosela phezu kwakhe inkathazo zenu zonke, ngoba yena uyalikhathalela.
8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
Qondani, lilinde, ngoba isitha senu, udiyabhola, siyabhoda njengesilwane esibhongayo sidinga esingamginya;
9 whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.
limelane laye liqinile ekholweni, lisazi ukuthi zona lezonhlupho zapheleliswa kubazalwane benu abasemhlabeni.
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)
Kodwa uNkulunkulu womusa wonke, owasibizela ebukhosini bakhe obuphakade kuKristu Jesu, sesihlupheke okwesikhatshana, sengathi yena angaliphelelisa, aliqinise, alinike amandla, alisekele. (aiōnios g166)
Kakube kuye inkazimulo lamandla kuze kube nini lanini. 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.
NgoSilivanu ongumzalwane othembekileyo kini, ngokubona kwami, ngibhale ngokufitshane, ngikhuthaza njalo ngifakaza ukuthi lo ngumusa oqotho kaNkulunkulu, elimi kuwo.
13 She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
Ibandla eliseBhabhiloni elikhethiweyo kanye lani liyalibingelela, loMarko indodana yami.
14 Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
Bingelelanani ngokwanga kothando. Ukuthula kakube kini lonke elikuKristu Jesu. Ameni.
