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,

Esiane sɛ Kristo hunuu amane ne honam mu enti, monsɔ saa adwene korɔ no ara mu mfa nhyɛ mo ho den. Ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ wahunu amane wɔ honam mu no ne bɔne nni biribiara yɛ.

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.

Ɛfiri seesei rekɔ no, mo nna a aka wɔ asase so ha no, ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔdi mo abrabɔ so na ɛnyɛ onipa akɔnnɔ.

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.

Moasɛe mmerɛ bebree de ayɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ abosonsomfoɔ na wɔyɛ. Motenaa ase wɔ ahohwie, akɔnnɔbɔne, nsãborɔ, agobɔne, adidimeeɛ ne abosonsom a ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ mu.

4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

Seesei ɛyɛ wɔn nwanwa sɛ mo ne wɔn mmɔ mu mmu ahuhubra no bio, ɛno enti, wɔyeyɛ mo.

5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Nanso, wɔbɛbu wɔn ho nkonta akyerɛ Onyankopɔn a wasiesie ne ho bu ateasefoɔ ne awufoɔ atɛn no.

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.

Saa enti na wɔkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ awufoɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a sɛ wɔgyina wɔn asetena yi mu nneyɛeɛ so bu wɔn atɛn a wɔn honhom ne Onyankopɔn bɛtena.

7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Biribiara awieeɛ abɛn. Ɛsɛ sɛ mohyɛ mo ho so na mowɛn na moatumi abɔ mpaeɛ.

8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Yei akyi no, monnodɔ mo ho yie ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdɔ bunkam bɔne nyinaa so.

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

Monnye mo ho ahɔhoɔ wɔ mo afie mu a huhuhuhu biara nni akyire.

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.

Honhom mu adom a obiara anya no, ɔnnyina so mfa nsom afoforɔ.

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)

Sɛ obi reka asɛm a, ɔnka Onyankopɔn asɛm. Obiara a ɔsom no, ɔmfa ahoɔden a Onyankopɔn de ama no no nsom sɛdeɛ biribiara mu, wɔbɛfa Yesu Kristo so akamfo Onyankopɔn a animuonyam ne tumi wɔ no daadaa no. Amen. (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.

Anuanom, mommma amanehunu a morehunu no nnyɛ mo nwanwa te sɛ deɛ montee so asɛm da.

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.

Na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ mo ne Kristo rehunu amane sɛdeɛ mo ani bɛgye daa da a ɔbɛda nʼanimuonyam adi no.

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.

Nhyira nka mo sɛ moyɛ Kristo akyidifoɔ enti wɔya mo. Yei kyerɛ sɛ animuonyam honhom a ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom no wɔ mo so.

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.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mu biara hunu amane sɛ owudifoɔ anaa owifoɔ anaa odwotwafoɔ anaa ɔsɛmpɛfoɔ,

16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

Na sɛ mohunu amane wɔ mo Kristosom ho a, mommma mo ani nnwu, na mmom, monna Onyankopɔn ase sɛ moyɛ Kristo dea.

17 For the time has come for judgment 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?

Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu atɛn, na Onyankopɔn no ara nkurɔfoɔ na wɔbɛdi kane abu wɔn atɛn. Na sɛ ɛfiri yɛn so kane a, ɛbɛwie Asɛmpa no asoɔdenfoɔ no sɛn?

18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”

Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔbɛgye onipa pa nkwa; na wɔn a wɔnnye asɛm no nni ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no deɛ, ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛba wɔn so?”

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.

Ne saa enti, wɔn a wɔhunu amane sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho ma Ɔbɔadeɛ no na wɔkɔ so yɛ papa.
