1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, tondũ Kristũ nĩanyariirirwo mwĩrĩ-inĩ-rĩ, o na inyuĩ kĩĩhotorei mũrĩ na meciiria o ta macio aarĩ namo, tondũ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie kũnyariirwo mwĩrĩ nĩatiganĩte na mehia.
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, mũtũũrĩre wake ũrĩa ũtigarĩte wa gũtũũra gũkũ thĩ ndarĩtũũraga nĩguo ahingagie merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, no arĩtũũraga nĩguo ekage ũrĩa Ngai endaga.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Tondũ nĩmũtũũrĩte ihinda rĩa kũigana mũgĩkaga maũndũ marĩa andũ arĩa matetĩkĩtie Ngai mendaga gwĩka, namo nĩ ta mĩtũũrĩre ya ũũra-thoni, na merirĩria mooru ma mwĩrĩ, na ũrĩĩu, na gũthiiaga maruga-inĩ ma waganu, o na ciathĩ-inĩ cia kũnyua njoohi, o na mũhooere ũrĩ thaahu wa kũhooya mĩhianano.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
Nao andũ acio nĩmagegaga mona atĩ mũtiranyiitanĩra nao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa marakĩrĩrĩria ũmaramari-inĩ ũcio wao, nao magakĩmũcambagia.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Nao no nginya makaaheana ũhoro wa maũndũ mao kũrĩ ũrĩa wĩhaarĩirie gũtuĩra ciira arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte.
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
Nĩgũkorwo gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmi kĩrĩa gĩatũmire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũhunjĩrio o na andũ arĩa makuĩte, nĩgeetha ha ũhoro wa mwĩrĩ magaatuĩrwo ciira o ta ũrĩa andũ arĩa angĩ magaatuĩrwo, no ha ũhoro wa roho matũũre muoyo o ta ũrĩa Ngai atũũraga.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Ithirĩro rĩa maũndũ mothe nĩrĩkuhĩrĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikaragai mũrĩ na ũũgĩ wa ngoro, na mũikarage mũterigĩtwo nĩguo mũhotage kũhooya.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love amongst yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Ningĩ gũkĩra maũndũ mothe, ikaragai mwendaine mũno mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, tondũ wendani nĩũhumbagĩra mehia maingĩ.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Ningĩ mũtuganage mũtekũnuguna.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
O mũndũ nĩ ahũthĩre kĩheo o gĩothe kĩrĩa amũkĩrĩte nĩguo atungatagĩre andũ arĩa angĩ, arĩ ta mũramati mwĩhokeku wa wega wa Ngai wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo akĩaria-rĩ, nĩarie taarĩ mũndũ ũkũheana ciugo cia Ngai. Nake mũndũ o wothe angĩkorwo agĩtungata-rĩ, nĩatungate na hinya ũrĩa ũheanagwo nĩ Ngai, nĩgeetha Ngai agoocagwo maũndũ-inĩ mothe thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ. Nake nĩwe ũgũtũũra arĩ na riiri na hinya nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Arata akwa nyenda mũno, mũtikagegio nĩ magerio marĩa mũranyariirwo namo, taarĩ ũndũ mũgeni ũrekĩka thĩinĩ wanyu.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
No kenagai nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũgwatanĩire thĩinĩ wa kũnyariirĩka gwa Kristũ, nĩgeetha mũkaiyũrĩrĩrwo nĩ gĩkeno hĩndĩ ĩrĩa riiri wake ũkaaguũranĩrio.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ inyuĩ mũngĩrumwo nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Kristũ, nĩ ũndũ Roho ũrĩa ũrĩ na riiri, o we Roho wa Ngai, arĩ igũrũ rĩanyu.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
Mũndũ wanyu ndakananyariirwo ta mũũragani, kana mũici, kana mũgeri ngero ĩngĩ o yothe, o na kana ta mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtoonyagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ ma andũ angĩ.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩnyariirwo tondũ wa gũtuĩka Mũkristiano-rĩ, ndakanaconoke, no nĩagooce Ngai tondũ nĩaheetwo rĩĩtwa rĩu.
17 For the time has come for judgement to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
Nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩ ikinyu ciira wambĩrĩrie gũtuĩrwo andũ a nyũmba ya Ngai; na angĩkorwo ũkwambĩrĩria na ithuĩ-rĩ, gũgaagĩtuĩka atĩa harĩ arĩa mataathĩkagĩra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Ngai?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Na rĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu kũhonoka-rĩ, naguo ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai na ũrĩa mwĩhia ũgaakĩhaana atĩa?”
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, andũ arĩa manyariirĩkaga kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai endete, nĩmaheane mĩoyo yao kũrĩ Mũũmbi wao ũrĩa wa kwĩhokeka, na mathiĩ na mbere gwĩkaga maũndũ mega.
