1 Peter 5
1 As for the older men among you, who bear office in the Church, I, their fellow-Officer, and a witness to the sufferings of the Christ, who shall also share in the glory that is to be revealed —
Nikabhasili bhaseya bhabhaj'hele miongoni mwinu, nene, j'hanij'hele nsaya njabhi na shahidi ghwa malombosi gha Kristu, na ambaj'he vilevile ni mshirika mu bhutukufu bhwabhwibetakudhihirika.
2 I urge you to be true shepherds of the flock of God among you, not because you are compelled, but of your own free will; not from a base love of gain, but with a ready spirit;
Henu nikabhapela muoyo muenga bhasaya, mulichungai likundi lya k'yara lyalij'hele miongoni mwinu. Mulilangai, sio kwandabha mwilondeka, lakini kwa ndabha mwilonda aghu, kul'engana ni k'yara. Mulilangai, sio kwa kugana hela sya soni, lakini kwa kugana.
3 not as lords of your charges, but as examples to your flock.
Msibhombi mabwana juu j'ha bhanu bhabhaj'hele pasi j'ha bhuangalizi bhwinu, lakini mujhiaghe mfuano mu likundi.
4 Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades.
Pale mchungaji m'mbaha paibetakudhihirisibhwa, m'beta kujhipokela litaji lya bhutukufu j'hajhibeli kujhesya bhusamani bhwake.
5 Again, you younger men should show deference to the older. And all of you should put on the badge of humility in mutual service, for ‘God is opposed to the proud, but gives his help to the humble.’
Vilevile, muenga bhasongolo bhadebe, mkitengulilaghe kwa bhabhaha bhinu. Muenga mwe bhoha, uvaeni bhutengulisi ni kuhudumilana j'homu kwa j'homu, kwani k'yara akabhapinga bhenye kiburi, lakini ikabhapela neema bhatengulisi.
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in his good time,
Kwa hyo mkitengulidagha pasi pa mabhokho gha k'yara j'haaj'hele hodari ili abha j'hinulaghe kwa bhwakati bhwake.
7 laying all your anxieties upon him, for he makes you his care.
Mubhekaghe fadhaa syinu panani pake, kwandabha akabhajali.
8 Exercise self-control, be watchful. Your adversary, the Devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about, eager to devour you.
Muj'hiaghe ni busara, muj'hiaghe bhaangalifu. J'hola adui j'hinu ibilisi kama limba j'haiunguruma inyatila, pailonda munu ghwa kundamra.
9 Stand firm against him, strong in your faith; knowing, as you do, that the very sufferings which you are undergoing are being endured to the full by your Brotherhood throughout the world.
Muj'hemayi kinyume kyake. Muj'hiaghe ni ngofu mu imani j'hinu. Mkamanyiayi kuj'ha bhalongobhinu bhajele kumbinguni bhip'hetela malombosi kama aghu.
10 God, from whom all help comes, and who called you, by your union with Christ, into his eternal glory, will, when you have suffered for a little while, himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
Baada j'ha kul'ombosi bhwa kwa muda lukhombi, k'yara ghwa neema j'haankutili mu bhutukufu bhwa milele mugati mwa Kristu, ibetakubhakamilisya, ibetakubhakangamisya ni kubhapela ngofu. (aiōnios g166)
Enzi j'hij'hiaghe kwa muene milele na milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
12 I have been writing to you briefly by the hand of Silas, our true-hearted Brother (for so I regard him), to urge upon you, and to bear my testimony, that in what I have written is to be found the true love of God. On that take your stand.
Nikan'thamini Silwano kama ndongobhangu mwaminifu, na nibhalenibili muenga kwa kifupi kup'hetela kwa muene. Nikabhapela muoyo nanishuhudila kuj'ha kyanikilembili ni neema jha bhukweli j'ha k'yara. Mujhemaghe mugati mwake.
13 Your sister-Church in ‘Babylon’ sends you greeting, and so does Mark, who is as a son to me.
Bhaamini bhabhajhele Babeli, bhabhasilibhu pamonga namu, bhakabhasalimu, ni Marko mwanabhangu, akabhasalimu.
14 Greet one another with the kiss of love.
Muponesianaghe kila mmonga kwa busu lya luganu. Ni amani ijhelayi kwa muenga mwamujhele mugati mwa Kristu.
