1 Peter 5
1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Ni lumba va vakulwana mukati kenu, Ime, neme ni mukulwana. Neme ni mpaki ya masukuluko a Keresite, neme ni zumwi mu nkanya yete ni i wulwe.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Cwale, ni mi kuteka, vakulwana, mu lise nenza muraka we ngu za Ireza zina mukati kenu. Muzi lole, insiñi kevaka lya kuti mu saka vulyo, kono akuli nanwe mu saka, che ntato ya Ireza. Mu zi lole, isiñi cha kusa sepa masheleñi, kono chaku saka.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Kanji mu chitì sina muvusa hewulu lya vantu vena mu mpabalelo yenu. kono, muve mutala ku mutapi.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Cwale Mulisani Mukulwana cha wumbulwa, mu mu tambule vu simwine vwe nkanya.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Mu nzila iswana, inwe muva hwire, muli voze hansi ku va kulwana vakwame. Mwense vulyo, muli zwatike muvuikokovezo ni ku tusana zumwi cha zumwi. Kakuli Ireza ukanina valikumusa, kono uha chishemo kwa vana vali kokoveza.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Cwalehe mulikokoveze mwikonde lya manza eziho e Ireza iri kuti nawole kumi nyemuna mwinako ikeza.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Muvike impiraelo zenu hali, kakuli u virela kuamana na nwe.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Muve ni muhupulo u chena, mu tondere. Chila chenu, iye diavulusi, uvu undavu ukwete kulira nazimboka, ku gana zumwi weta halole.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Muzimane cho kumulwisa. Muve va kolete mwi ntumero yenu. Mwizi kuti manyando a swana akwete kuhitiwa mu ali kuva lumeri kuninenu mu nkanda.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Chimwa mana kunyanda kavaka zana, Ireza we chishemo chonse, yava misupi mwikanya ina mwa Keresite, kami kondise, kumi zimika ni kumi koza. (aiōnios g166)
Kwali kuve ni vulena kuya kwi ire ni ire. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
Ni zuminina Silvanus sina muzwale yo sepahala, mi chi ni va miñolera chovu fuhi chakwe. Ni mi lumerisa mi nipaka kwenu kuti ziniva miñoleri njo vuniti bwe chishemo che Ireza. Muzimane mwateni.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Mukulwakazi wina mwa Vavilona, yo ketetwe hamwina nanwe, umi lumerisa. Hamwina ni Mareka, mwanangu we chikwame, umi lumerisa.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Mulumerise zumwi ni zumwi che michuchuno ye rato. Mi inkozo ive kwenu mwense vena mwa Keresite.
