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:
Ame ndemukulene munabo, nkute maswi akwamba kubamakulene bamubungano bali pakati penu. Njame kamboni wa mapensho a Klistu, kayi ndapembelelenga kutambula bulemu pamo nendibo ubo bweti bukaboneke.
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;
Maswi akame nakwambeti, kamwembelani cena mbelele sha Lesa nshabikisha mumakasa enu. Shembeleni mwakuyandishisha, nteko kwinsa kumukakatisha sobwe nambi kuyandapo kantu nakambi, nsombi mwakuyanda mobene, mbuli Lesa ncalayandanga.
3 neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Kamutabeti bami palyendibo sobwe, kamubani cilesho caina ku mbelele.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Kayi mwembeshi mukulene akaboneka nimukatambule cilambo ca munshini wabulemu butapu.
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.
Nenjamwe misepela, kamunyumfwilani bamakulene. Kayi mwense bani balibambila kunyamfwana umo ne munendi mwakulicepesha. Ntepasa maswi a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa ukute kubakana beshikulitunta, neye ukute kwinshila nkumbo balicepesha.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
Ecebo cakendi kamulicepeshani pamenso a Lesa wangofu, kwambeti pacindi cakendi akamusumpule.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Mutwikeni byonse bilamushupunga, pakwinga neye nakamusamalile cena.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Kamucetukani, bangamanani. Mupelani wenu Satana lendananga uku ne uku eti nkalamu ilabulumunga, kulangaula ngweshalye.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Kamutingana nendi kamulimwashimpa cena mulushomo, pakwishibeti baklistu banenu pacishi conse capanshi naboyo balanyumfunga byeshikubaba byamushobo umoumo.
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)
Panyuma pa kunyumfwa byeshikubaba kwakacindi kang'ana, Lesa wankumbo shonse, lamukunga kwisakuyabana nendi mubulemu butapu pamo ne Klistu nakamubambe nekumuyuminisha, nekumwikalika mwakutatenkana. (aiōnios g166)
Neye eukute ngofu kwacindi conse. Amen. (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.
Lanyamfwilishi kulemba kalata ifupi iyi, ni Sailasi, mwanse washomeka. Ndayandanga kumulimbikisha nekumupa bukamboni bwakwambeti, uku ekwina moyo kwa Lesa. Cebo ca kwina moyoku, limbikilani.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
Banse benu ku mubungangano wabantu basalwa baku Babulo balamupanga mitende. Neye mwaname Maliko lamupanga mitende.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
Panani mitende yalusuno lwaciklistu. Lumuno lube nenjamwe mwense, mobakendi Klistu.
