1 Peter 5
1 [Now I will say this to those among] you who are elders in the congregations: I also am an elder. I am one [of those] who saw Christ when he suffered, and I am also one who will share some of the glory/greatness that Christ has in heaven.
Ma mwe nubo woti more kume min kekume dur. Mor bwanka kwama wo nyomom dotan-nge kritti, take mawi win mor nobo ya fiya duktanka wo abo tiyeu.
2 [I appeal to you elders] to take care of the people who are in your [congregations] [MET] as shepherds [take care of their] flocks of sheep. Do this, not because you must do it, but instead do it willingly, as God desires. Do not be greedy to get a lot [of money for doing it], but instead do it enthusiastically/wholeheartedly.
Kom yilam nob bi yuware kwama wo wari kan-nge kom me, kebo ki bi kwan, ayilam mo cwi kwama ti kom wabtiye, kebo na diker kwenduer fiyaka, a yilam mor cwika.
3 Do not act like domineering [bosses over] the people [MET] whom God has assigned/entrusted to you, but instead be examples to them by the way in which you conduct your lives.
Kom yilare teluwe dor nobo kang kumekeu, na cuwori kom yilam na dangke fiye bi yuwaro wiyeu.
4 [If you do that], when Jesus, who is [like] our chief shepherd [MET], appears, he will give each of you a [glorious/wonderful reward] [MET]. [That reward will be like] the wreaths [that are given to victorious athletes], but your reward will never wither [like wreaths do].
Na liya biyuware cerkangu di mwan yo needuwe duktankako manki ciraka.
5 [Now I will say this to] you young men [and women]: [Just like married men and women are] ([to be subject/to submit themselves]) [to their spouses], you must (be subject/submit yourselves) (to the older men/to the leaders) [of the congregation]. And all of you [believers] should act [MET] humbly toward each other, because this proverb is true: God opposes people who are proud, but he acts kindly toward those who are humble.
Kom bi kalfundo kom nuwa nobo durko gwam kume kom yilam ki lom cumee kom bwanten bwiti. kwama ko nii kunka duwek, cone nob lomkome luma.
6 Therefore, realizing that God has great power [MTY] [to punish proud people], humble yourselves, in order that he may honor you at the time that [he has determined].
Kum daken ki dor kumero kan kwama, can kungken kom wori citokomti.
7 Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
Kom cur cinen dotange kume wori co cerkumenti
8 Always be fully alert, because the devil, who is your enemy, is going/sneaking around, looking for people [to destroy]. [He is] like [SIM] a lion who roars as it prowls around, seeking someone to [kill and] devour.
Kom tiki bati bwekelkele kentangenti tulti na tirome, do nii woti ca wootiyeu, cung cimen.
9 You must resist him by continuing to firmly trust in [Christ and his message], remembering that your fellow believers all over the world are experiencing similar sufferings [that the devil is bringing to them].
Tiki bi kwan bilenker mwer nin, nyomom keb kume mor bilenker wi dor bitine ciki bi ner dotan-nge nenna kume.
10 God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios g166)
Biko kom nuwa dotan-nge be dob, kwama nii luma wo cokkom mor liyar duktanka ce fiye kritti an ne kom bi kwan na mwekom. (aiōnios g166)
Liyar nace diri diri. Dong dong. (aiōn g165)
12 Silas has written this letter [for me as I have] ([dictated it to him/told him what to write]). I consider/know that he is a faithful fellow believer. I have written this short letter to you to encourage you, and I want to assure you that [what I have written] is a true message about the things that God kindly does for [us, things that we do not deserve]. Continue to firmly believe this message.
Ma tiu cilas yii be nii bilenker ma mulang kume nyo bi dob mor kange ce, mayarum komti, ma nungi diker ma mulang bilenker luma kwama wo titi nyo.
13 In [this city that is sometimes referred to as] ‘Babylon’ [MET], the believers [SYN], whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him] just like he chose you, (send you [(pl)] their greetings/say that they are thinking affectionately about you). Mark, who is [MET] [like] a son to me, also ([sends you his greetings/says that he is thinking affectionately about you]).
Na wiye wo babila, woci cokkom wariyeu, yaru komti. kan-nge Marku yarum komti ken.
14 Greet each other with a kiss [on the cheek] to [show that] you love [each other]. [I pray that God will give inner] peace to all of you who have a relationship with Christ.
Kom yarkan bwiti kom ki cwikanka fwor neret na yi wari kan-nge kom gwam kume nii wo mor kritti.
