1 Peter 5
1 So I exhort the Elders among you--I who am their fellow Elder and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed.
Vatariri vari pakati penyu ndinovakurudzira, vandiri mutariri pamwe navo nechapupu chematambudziko aKristu, nemugovani wekubwinya kuchazoratidzwa.
2 Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;
Fudzai boka raMwari riri pakati penyu, muchitaridzira, kwete nekurovererwa asi nekuda, kwete nekuda kwekukarira fuma yakaipa, asi nechido,
3 not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.
kana kuva semadzishe pane vamakagoverwa, asi muri mifananidzo yeboka.
4 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.
Zvino Mufudzi mukuru paachaonekwa muchagamuchira korona yekubwinya isingabvuruvari.
5 In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Saizvozvo, vadiki, zviisei pasi pevakuru, uye mese muzviise pasi umwe kune mumwe, mupfekedzwe nekuzvininipisa, nokuti Mwari anopikisa vanozvikudza, asi anopa nyasha vanozvininipisa.
6 Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.
Naizvozvo zvininipisei pasi peruoko rwune simba rwaMwari, kuti akukudzei panguva yakafanira,
7 Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.
muchikandira pamusoro pake kufunganya kwenyu kwese, nokuti iye ane hanya nemwi.
8 Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour.
Svinurai, rindai, nokuti mupikisi wenyu dhiabhorosi, seshumba inoomba anofamba-famba achitsvaka waangapedza;
9 Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences.
mumupikise makasimba parutendo, muchiziva kuti matambudziko iwawo anozadziswa kuhama dzenyu dziri panyika.
10 And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong. (aiōnios g166)
Asi Mwari wenyasha dzese, iye wakatidanira mukubwinya kwake kusingaperi muna Kristu Jesu, kana tatambudzika chinguvana, iye anokupedzeredzai nekukutsigisai, nekukupai simba, nekukuteyai. (aiōnios g166)
Kwaari ngakuve kubwinya nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother--for such I regard him--in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.
NaSirivhano hama yakatendeka kwamuri, pakufunga kwangu, ndanyora nepadiki, ndichikurudzira nekupupura kuti idzi ndidzo nyasha dzechokwadi dzaMwari, dzamumire madziri.
13 The Church in Babylon, chosen like yourselves by God, sends greetings, and so does Mark my son.
Kereke iri muBhabhironi yakasarudzwa pamwe nemwi inokukwazisai, naMariko mwanakomana wangu.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.
Kwazisanai nekutsvoda kwerudo. Rugare kwamuri mese muri muna Kristu Jesu. Ameni.
