1 Peter 4
1 Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--
Nkinkaako, akambo kakuti Kkilisito wakachiswa kunyama, amuliyumye lwenu amuyeeyo ukozyenie. Nkambo kufumbwa muntu uchiswa mumubili ulanzene acibi.
2 that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
Impindu yakwe, muntu uloobo, chindi chakwe chingi kunyama, ngatacheendi mumakaanze anyama pe, pesi mumakaanze a Leza.
3 For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
Nkambo chindi chakinda chakakwana chenu kuti kamuchichita kuyanda kwabamasi, mwakali kupona mubumpelenge, mukwemuzya, mubukoolwi, amukuyobukomba mizimu itondwa.
4 At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
Balachibona kachilichigambyo na babona kamutajatilaamwi ambabo mukuya buvuzya michito italuleme, nkinkaako banoya bwamba bubi atala andinywe.
5 But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
Bayolivwilila kulinguwe oyo ulibambilide kuzobeteka bawumi abafwide.
6 For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.
Akambo kanchichechi Makani Mabotu nchakakambawukwa akubafwide, kuchitila kuti, nekuba kabanoli babetekwa kunyama mbuli bantu, balelede kuti kabapona mumuuya munzila iyanda Leza.
7 But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
Magozezyo azintu zyonse aba afwifwi. Nkinkaako amulibatamike amuzezo mubotu, alubo amube amiyeyo mibotu kuchitila kuti kamunokomba.
8 Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
Kwinda zyonse zintu, amusungwalile kuyandana umwi amwenzinyina, nkambo luyando luvumba mulwi wazibi.
9 Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
Amukabotezyanie umwi amwenzinyina katakwe ulila lila pe.
10 Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
Mbuli mbomwakapegwa zipego umwi awumwi, amuzibelesye kukugwasyania anzizyo mbuli babaanzi baluzyalo lwa-Leza muzyimo zisiyenesiyene.
11 If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Na kakuli uwambula, kwambuula kwakwe akube kwamajwi a Leza. Na kakuli ubeleka milimo, abeleke kazizwa kunguzu nzyamupa Leza. Amukachite zyoonse zintu kuchitila kuti munzila zyonse Leza akalumbayizigwe kwinda muli Jesu Kkilisito. Akube kuti kuli Jesu Kkilisito bulemu abwami zibe kulinguwe kwalyoonse alyonse. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.
Nomuyandwa, mutazibwezi mbuli chigambyo amasukusyo ayaaka mbuli mulilo ayo akamuchitikila, mbotatedi nchimwi chintu chigambya chakali kuchitikila ndinywe.
13 On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.
Pepe, anukuti muukuswanana amachise akaswanana a-Kkilisito, amukondwe, kuchitila kuti anywebo mukabotelwe kuchiindi echo bulemu bwakwe bwakuyubununwa.
14 You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.
Na mwakutukilwa nkambo kazina lya-Kkilisito, mulilongezezegwe, nkambo Muuya wabulemu antomwe a Muuya wa-Leza unoli ulokumusunka nywebo.
15 But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.
Pesi kutabi naba omwe wenu uyochiswa nkambo kabujayi, kubba, na simuchita zibi, nanka sindimi zyobile.
16 If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.
Pesi na umwi wachiswa mbuli muzumini, atabi nawusa insoni pe; pesi kuti, ngalumbayizye Leza akambo kazina lyakwe.
17 For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?
Nkambo chaba chindi chakuti lubeta lutalike empuli yakwa Leza. Kuti lwatalika alindiswe, balachitilwa buti abo batazumini kumakani mabotu a Leza?
18 And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
Alubo “na kachili chiyumu kubaluleme kuti bakafutulwe, ino bayoba buti abo batazumini antomwe abasizibi?”
19 Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
Nkenkaako akube kuti abo bachiswa nkambo kaluyando lwa Leza bapekezezye myuya yabo ku Mulengi usyomekede mukuchita zibotu.
