1 Peter 5
1 And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you:
Noolwekyo mbulirira abakadde abali mu mmwe nze mukadde munnammwe, omujulirwa w’okubonaabona kwa Kristo, era agabanira awamu ekitiibwa ekigenda okubikkulirwa.
2 Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart;
Mulundenga ekisibo kya Katonda ekiri mu mmwe, mukiriisenga nga mukirabirira n’okwagala so si na kwemulugunya, nga mukolerera amagoba ag’obukuusa wabula olw’okujjumbira Katonda.
3 not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them:
Be mukulembera temubakambuwaliranga wabula mubakulemberenga nga mubalaga ekyokulabirako ekirungi.
4 that when the chief shepherd shall be revealed, ye may receive from him a crown of glory that fadeth not.
Era Omusumba Omukulu bw’alikomawo, muliweebwa engule ey’ekitiibwa ekitaliggwaawo.
5 And ye juniors submit yourselves to your seniors; and clothe yourselves, stringently, with lowliness of mind one towards another; because God resisteth them who exalt themselves, and giveth grace to the humble.
Mmwe abavubuka, mugonderenga abakulu. Muweerezeganenga mwekka na mwekka n’obuwombeefu kubanga “Katonda akyawa ab’amalala naye abawombeefu abawa omukisa.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the powerful hand of God: and it will exalt you in due time.
Noolwekyo mwewombeeke wansi w’omukono gwa Katonda ogw’amaanyi, naye alibagulumiza ng’obudde butuuse.
7 And cast all your solicitude upon God; for he careth for you.
Mumutwalirenga byonna bye mweraliikirira kubanga abalumirwa era afaayo ku buli ekibatuukako.
8 Be sober and guarded, because Satan your adversary, like a lion, roareth, and goeth about, and seeketh whom he may devour.
Mutunulenga, mwekuume omulabe wammwe Setaani, atambulatambula ng’empologoma enjala gy’eruma egenda ng’ewuluguma ng’enoonya gw’eneerya.
9 Therefore resist him, being steadfast in the faith: and know ye, that the same sufferings befall your brethren that are in the world.
Mumwaŋŋange ng’abalumbye, nga mwesiga Mukama, era mujjukire nti ebibonoobono ebiri ng’ebyo bituuka ne ku bakkiriza abalala mu nsi yonna.
10 Now it is the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jesus the Messiah, that hath given us, while we sustain these light afflictions, to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established by him for ever: (aiōnios g166)
Bwe mulibonaabonera akaseera, Katonda waffe atukwatirwa ekisa ng’ayita mu Kristo, alibawa ekitiibwa kye ekitaliggwaawo. Alibakomyawo, alibazzaamu amaanyi, alibawanirira era alibanyweza. (aiōnios g166)
Ekitiibwa n’amaanyi bibeerenga gy’ali emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
12 These as I account them few things, I have written to you by Sylvanus, a faithful brother. And I would persuade, and would testify, that this is the true grace of God, this in which ye stand.
Ebbaluwa eno nzija kugikwasa Sirwano, gwe mmanyi nga waaluganda mwesigwa ddala, agibaleetere. Nsuubira nga mbazizzaamu amaanyi mu bbaluwa eno, era nga mbalaze engeri Katonda gy’agabamu ekisa kye ekingi. Ebyo bye mbategeezezza bibayambe okunywerera mu kwagala kwe.
13 The elect church which is in Babylon, saluteth you; also Mark, my son.
Balonde bannammwe mu kkanisa y’e Babulooni, babalamusizza. Ne mutabani wange Makko naye abalamusizza.
14 Salute ye one another with a holy kiss. Peace be with you all, who are in the Messiah. Amen.
Mulamusagane n’okwagala okw’Ekikristaayo. Emirembe gibeerenga mu mmwe mwenna abali mu Kristo.
