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.
Uzinu wuza ananu anyimo ashime tize tu dungara, mi sa inzi u henu ushi unanu, unu bezi uzitu uvana Asere, mi unu kem u kalum uni antimo ani nonzo sa abezi.
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.
Barki anime izinu dungara ushi ananu, hira nigo na Asere sa nizi nan sitarsi in we, azo ini kara ba barki sa inyara wuza ani me, barki u wuza Asere, tarsa ni we, azo unu kem imumu gbardang, barki uhen iriba.
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.
Kati icukuno anu ahira anu sa wa atari tishime, cukuno ni imumu manza ahira anigome.
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].
Uganiya sa adi bezi ugomo utarsa ina nu, udi kabi ni ere ni tigomo nani nonzo ni mazu.
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.
Ane ani, shi inyani kunna ni tize ta nanu, vat ushi itirzizi mu iriba in kadure, iwuzi ni nonzo na cece, barki Asere ada kunna me urunta unu heze unice ba barki ma wuza ana kadure imumu iriri.
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].
7 Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
Nyani me vat mu riba mu me, barki ma tarsa in shi.
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.
Wunani shew, icukuno unu rusa, unu iriba ibit nan shi, bibeu bur kasi udaru ukise anija ma zinu kese, unyara ude sa madi ri.
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].
Wuza ni ere nan me, i wuzi nikara anyimo akadure kashi me, irusa aroni ishina ishi me sa wa ra anyo unee uzinu tarza ini rer nigino me kasi shime.
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)
Umara uzito ushi me uganiya cin, Asere unu imumu iriri izatu mara, desa ma titi shi uhana kura ameme anyimo avana Asere, madi maza shi, ma nuki shi, ma kuri ma nyizi shi tize. (aiōnios g166)
Ninonzo ni cukuno ahira ameme uhana umara unee, icukuno anime. (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 hem in Sila uhenu ukadure mani, makuri ma nyettike shini cin atari tumeme. Izunu gwara ushi in kuri ibuki shi unu guna imumu me sa ma nyettike iriri ya Asere ini ikadure nukina ni anyimo a ini.
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]).
Me uneh me sa mara ubabila azauka me na haru, ma iso shi nan Markus vana um, ma iso shi.
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.
Isizo ni ace unu gindiro uhem. Imumu utoto iriba ahira ashi vat ushi sa ira anyimo avana Asere.
