1 Peter 4
1 If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins,
Ya mere, ebe ọ bụ na Kraịst hụrụ ahụhụ nʼanụ ahụ, unu onwe unu kwesiri inwe ụdị obi ahụ o nwere. Nʼihi na onye tara ahụhụ nʼanụ ahụ akwụsịla ime mmehie.
2 that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.
Nʼihi nke a, onye dị otu ahụ anaghị ebi ndụ fọdụrụ ya nʼụwa nʼihi agụụ ọjọọ nke ọchịchọ mmadụ, kama ọ na-ebi ya nʼihi imezu ọchịchọ Chineke.
3 For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.
Nʼoge gara aga unu tufuru ọtụtụ oge ime ihe ndị ahụ na-atọ ndị mba ọzọ ụtọ. Ndụ unu jupụtara nʼagụụ ịkwa iko, na agụụ ime ihe ọjọọ, na ịṅụbiga mmanya oke, na ịkpọ oriri, na ikpere arụsị niile, bụ ihe jọgburu onwe ya na njọ.
4 And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness;
Ma ndụ unu na-ebi ugbu a na-eju ha anya ebe ọ bụ na unu anaghị esokwa ha ebi ndụ ọjọọ ndị ahụ ọzọ, nʼihi nke a ha na-ekwutọkwa unu.
5 who must give account to God, who is to judge the living and the dead.
Ma ha ga-eji ọnụ ha kwupụta ihe ha mere nʼihu onye ahụ ga-ekpe ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ ikpe.
6 For on this account the announcement is made also to the dead, that they may be judged as persons in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji kwusaa oziọma ọ bụladị nye ndị ahụ nwụrụ anwụ bụ ndị e kperela ikpe mgbe ha dị ndụ, dịka e si ekpe mmadụ niile ikpe, ka ha site na nke a bie ndụ dị ka Chineke si chọọ site na mmụọ ahụ.
7 But the end of all things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer.
Ọgwụgwụ ihe niile adịla nso. Bụrụnụ ndị nwere akọnuche zuruoke, ndị anya doro, ka unu nwee ike na-ekpekwa ekpere.
8 And above all things, have fervent love one towards another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
Nke kachasị nke, na-ahụrịtanụ onwe unu nʼanya nke ukwuu nʼihi na ịhụnanya na-ekpuchi ọtụtụ mmehie.
9 And be ye compassionate to strangers, without murmuring.
Jirinụ obiọma na-elerịta ibe unu ọbịa na-enweghị ntamu ọbụla.
10 And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu dịka ndị ozi natara onyinye amara nke Chineke, jirinụ onyinye ọbụla unu natara na-ejeritara onwe unu ozi.
11 Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Onye na-ekwu okwu ya kwuo ya dị ka ọ bụ nnọọ okwu Chineke ka ọ na-ekwu. Onye na-eje ozi ya jee ya site nʼike ahụ Chineke na-enye. Nʼime ihe niile ka otuto dịrị Chineke site na Jisọs Kraịst. Ọ bụ ya ka otuto niile na ike niile dịrị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation.
Ụmụnna m, ka ọ hapụ iju unu anya mgbe ọnwụnwa dị iche iche na-abịara unu nʼihi na ihe dị otu a abụghị ihe ọhụrụ nʼebe unu nọ.
13 But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.
Kama ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼihi na unu so Kraịst na-eketa oke nʼahụhụ ya, ka e sikwa otu a mee ka obi unu jupụta nʼọṅụ, unu ga-etikwa mkpu ọṅụ mgbe a ga-eme ka ebube ya pụta ìhè.
14 And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you.
Ọ bụrụ na a na-ekwutọ unu nʼihi aha Kraịst, unu bụ ndị a gọziri agọzi. Nke a na-ezipụta na mmụọ nke ebube ahụ bụ mmụọ Chineke na-ebi nʼime unu.
15 Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer.
Ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu ghara ịta ahụhụ nʼihi na o gburu mmadụ maọbụ dị ka onye ohi, maọbụ dị ka onye na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ dị ka onye na-anara mmadụ ihe nʼaka ike.
16 But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this name.
Ma ihere ekwesighị ime unu mgbe unu na-ata ahụhụ dị ka ndị Kraịst. Kama nyenụ Chineke otuto na unu bụ ndị a na-akpọ aha ahụ.
17 For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
Nʼihi na oge eruola, mgbe a ga-amalite ikpe nʼezinaụlọ Chineke. Ọ bụrụ na a ga-ebu ụzọ kpee anyị ikpe, gịnị ga-abụkwanụ ọnọdụ ndị ahụ na-ekwenyeghị nʼoziọma Chineke?
18 And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!
Ma, “Ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dị ike ịzọpụta onye ezi omume, oleekwanụ olileanya dịrị onye na-amaghị Chineke na onye mmehie?”
19 Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the pleasure of God, commend their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
Ya mere, ndị na-ata ahụhụ dị ka nzube Chineke si dị, nyefeenụ onwe unu nʼaka onye okike, onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ma nọgidenụ na-eme ezi ihe.
