1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
Popeza kuti Khristu anamva zowawa mʼthupi lake, mukhale nawonso mtima omwewo, chifukwa iye amene wamva zowawa mʼthupi lake walekana nawo uchimo.
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
Chifukwa cha ichi, iwo sakhalanso moyo wawo akuchita zofuna za matupi awo, koma amachita chifuniro cha Mulungu.
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Pakuti mwataya kale nthawi yambiri mʼmbuyomu pochita zimene anthu osapembedza amachita, moyo wokhumba zonyansa, zilakolako zoyipa kuledzera, zochitika zoyipa za pa phwando, mapokoso ndi kupembedza mafano onyansa.
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
Anthu osapembedza amadabwa pamene simuthamangira nawo kuchita zoyipitsitsazi, nʼchifukwa chake amakuchitani chipongwe.
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Koma adzafotokoza okha mlandu wawo kwa Mulungu amene wakonzeka kuweruza amoyo ndi akufa.
6 For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
Pa chifukwa chimenechi, Uthenga Wabwino unalalikidwa ngakhale kwa iwo amene tsopano ndi akufa, kuti adzaweruzidwe monga anthu ku thupi, koma adzakhale ndi moyo monga mwa Mulungu mu mzimu.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
Chimaliziro cha zinthu zonse chili pafupi. Choncho khalani maso ndi odziletsa kuti muthe kupemphera.
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Koposa zonse muzikondana wina ndi mnzake kwambiri, chifukwa chikondi chimaphimba machimo ambiri.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Muzisamalirana wina ndi mnzake osamanyinyirika.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Aliyense agwiritse ntchito mokhulupirika mphatso iliyonse imene anayilandira potumikira ena ngati adindo ogwiritsa bwino ntchito mphatso za Mulungu za mitundumitundu.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ngati wina ayankhula, ayankhuledi mawu enieni a Mulungu. Ngati wina atumikira, atumikire ndi mphamvu imene Mulungu amapereka, kuti pa zonse Mulungu alemekezedwe mwa Yesu Khristu. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya, Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Abale okondedwa musadabwe ndi mayesero owawa amene mukukumana nawo ngati kuti china chake chachilendo chakuchitikirani.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Koma kondwerani popeza mukumva zowawa pamodzi ndi Khristu, kuti mudzakondwere kwakukulu pamene ulemerero wake udzaonekera.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Ngati akuchitani chipongwe chifukwa cha dzina la Khristu, ndinu odala, ndiye kuti Mzimu waulemerero wa Mulungu uli pa inu.
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
Ngati mumva zowawa, zisakhale chifukwa cha kupha munthu, kapena kuba, kapena kuchita choyipa, kapena kulowerera za anthu ena,
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
koma ngati mumva zowawa chifukwa ndinu Mkhristu, musachite manyazi, koma muyamike Mulungu chifukwa cha dzinalo.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
Pakuti nthawi yafika kuti chiweruzo chiyambe mʼnyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo ngati chiyamba ndi ife nanga podzafika kwa osamvera Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu, chidzakhala chotani?
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
Monga Malemba akuti, “Ngati kuli kovuta kuti olungama apulumuke, nanga munthu wochimwa, wosasamala za Mulungu adzatani?”
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Nʼchifukwa chake, iwo amene akumva zowawa monga mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu, adzipereke okha mʼmanja mwa Mlengi wawo wokhulupirika ndi kumapitiriza kuchita zabwino.
