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,
Kuzwa ho, kakuli Keresite ava sukuluki ahulu mu nyama, mu wondese mwense cha munahano u swana. Mukuti iye yense yava sukuluki mu nyama ava zwi ku chivi.
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.
Nihakuva vulyo, muntu wina vulyo, cha yonse inako yakwe mu nyama, kasi hali mu ntakazo ya vuntu, kono che ntato ye Ireza.
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.
Che nako ilikene ha ihita ku chita chi va va ku saka kuchita va machava- vushyahi, intakazo, vuñyavi, minyaka ye fasi, minyaka ya hansi, ni mitendo mivi ya maswaniso.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
Va tere vukavo kuti hamu sa vechilili navo mou muunda wa ku lyangana, mi vawamba vuvi ku amana nenwe.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Kava hewe mulandu ko zo yo litukiseze atula va hala ni va fwile.
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.
Cho u mulelo Ivangeri ivali ku kutuzwa hape ku va fwile, njikuti, nanga vava va atulwa mwi nyama sina ko vuntu, ni va hale sina Ireza mu luhuho.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Ma maninizo ezi zintu chi a kezite hafuhi. Cwale muve mu talifa mu muhupulo, muve ni munahanelo ujolola che vaka lye ntapero.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
He wulu lyazintu zonse, muve ni rato ikando ku zumwi ni zumwi, mukuti irato li yala zingi zivi.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Mu litambule vamwi ku vamwi cha kusa tongoka.
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.
Sina umwi no umwi wenu ava tambuli impo, mu i sebelise cha ku tendera umwi ku umwi. Mu chite izi sina cha vahikana va sepahala za Ireza mu mpo zingi za mahala.
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)
Haiva umwi u wamba, mu siye ive ku ziho izo Ireza zaha. Mu cite izi zintu kuti mu nzila zonse Ireza a lumbiwe cha Jesu Keresite. Mi kuve inkanya ya Jesu Keresite ni maata ya kuya ku ile. 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.
Vasakahala, kanji mu hindi cho ku seziba ku likiwa mu mulilo uwo uva citahali kwenu, sina zintu zimu sezi zi va chitahali kwenu.
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.
Cwalehe, nikuva vulyo cha kuya ke nzibo mu kwi ziba masukukluko a Keresite, mu nyakalale, nji kuti hape ni muka nyakalale mi mu tabele kwiza kwe nkanya yakwe.
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.
Haiva mu tukolwa che zina lya Keresite, mu fuyoletwe, kakuli Luhuho lwe nkanya ni Luhuho lwa Ireza lwina henu.
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.
Kono ku vuleke kwenu nanga yenke yete a sukululwe sina mwihayi, musa, mu tendi wa civi, kamba musinyi.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
Kono haiva zumwi u sukululwa cha kuva mulumeri, kanji a swabi; kono, mumu leke a lumbe Ireza chelyo izina.
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?
Kakuli chi nako ye nkatulo ku tanga cha ve nzubo ya Ireza. Cwale chi yi tanga chetu, mu kuve vule kuzwa kwavo vasa kuteki ivangeri ya Ireza?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Ni kuti haiba “muntu yo jolola ka hazwe cha ku kakatiza, mu kuve vuti kuva nyefula ni ku va eza livi?
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.
Cwale mu siye avo va sukuluka ke vaka lya ku saka kwe Ireza va vike inhuho zabo mu vusepahali vwa muvumbi mu ku tenda sinte.
