1 Peter 5
1 I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Ine ndikupempha akulu a mpingo amene ali pakati panu, monga inenso mkulu mnzawo, mboni ya zowawa za Khristu ndiponso amene ndidzalandira nawo ulemerero umene uti udzaonetsedwe.
2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Wetani gulu la Mulungu limene lili mʼmanja mwanu, muziliyangʼanira. Muzichita osati mowumirizidwa, koma mwakufuna kwanu, monga momwe Mulungu akufunira kuti mutero. Musachite chifukwa chadyera la ndalama, koma ndi mtima ofuna kutumikira.
3 neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Musakhale ngati mafumu pa amene mukuwayangʼanira, koma mukhale chitsanzo kwa gululo.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Ndipo Mʼbusa wamkulu akadzaonekera, mudzalandira chipewa cha ulemerero chosafota.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Momwemonso, inu anyamata gonjerani amene ndi akulu. Inu nonse mukhale odzichepetsa kuti mutumikirane, chifukwa, “Mulungu amatsutsana nawo odzikuza, koma amapereka chisomo kwa odzichepetsa.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
Choncho, mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthawi yake adzakukwezeni.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Tayani pa Iye nkhawa zanu zonse chifukwa ndiye amakusamalani.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Khalani odziretsa ndi atcheru. Mdani wanu mdierekezi amayendayenda monga mkango wobangula kufunafuna wina kuti amumeze.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Mukaneni iye, ndipo mukhazikike mʼchikhulupiriro, chifukwa mukudziwa kuti abale anzanu pa dziko lonse lapansi nawonso akumva zowawa zomwezi.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Messiah, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
Ndipo Mulungu wachisomo chonse, amene anakuyitanani ku ulemerero wake wamuyaya mwa Khristu, mutamva zowawa pa kanthawi, adzakukonzaninso ndi kukulimbitsani pa maziko olimba. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa Iye kukhale mphamvu mpaka muyaya, Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
Mothandizidwa ndi Sila, amene ndi mʼbale wokhulupirika, ndakulemberani mwachidule kukulimbikitsani ndi kuchita umboni kuti ichi ndi chisomo choona cha Mulungu.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
Imani mwamphamvu mʼchisomochi. Mlongo wanu amene ali ku Babuloni, wosankhidwa pamodzi nanu akupereka moni, nayenso Marko, mwana wanga, akupereka moni.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
Mupatsane moni ndi mpsopsono wachikondi. Mtendere ukhale ndi inu nonse amene muli mwa Khristu.
