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 mi bi ninkon wa me mi ninkon, wa ba chume ni shishi kpa-ya Yesu Kiristi, ni hla ndindima u bachi dun ba toh.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Zizan tie ndu vren u krju ntma ni kpa nyemme, ana ni gbigbina, ana ni kpa-sɦăn na.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Na ban tu me ndi wu ninkon ni shishi indi wa u ya'ba na, se “u” ka tsroba inkoh tie ndindi u ntma.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Ninkon u krju ntma ni ta bwu shishi niwu, u fe pri-nzeh u tuntur.
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.”
A naki biyi mri-nzeh wawu, ka tu nbi grji ni bi ninkon nitoh tu-nbi ni nfutu, na kpa ri-mbi tsri na. Irji na nyimme ni-ndi wa ni nzutu na.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Njitu-mbi grji dun Irji zoh yi.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Ka wawu sisri meh don ni-Wu, Wawu yi ni kata.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Mmla yah, mmla zren, meme-a ni-zren ni kagon ni wa-indi wa a ni ta'n na-ichen u'yon.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Ka'me niwũ. Kri mgbamgba ni yo-sron. U toh indi bi hu Irji ni mgumgblu ba si shaya naaki me.
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)
Ni-gon iya wa uti ni'nton tsaame. Irji (Bachi) u ko'nge, iwa a yo, a ye ni sisren u tuntur ni Yesu Kiristi, ani nu mgbemgble na mlawu ti. (aiōnios g166)
Ni shullu mba ni memme ndu son chu ma. Anaki. (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.
I'me mi kpa-nyime ni Silvanus a vayi u yer-yer, mi hla ni yiwu tsa-me ni wawuyi.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Mi hla yiwu gbigbi kpe wa mi hla a njanji tre Irji mi kri nitu ma. Iwah u Babilon wa bi kpa indu ni ntoh ṛiři asi chi yi. Ivren mu Markus ngame asi chi yi.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Chi kpambi ni kurju uu (kiss) isohn. Si dun he ni yi ni den Yesu.
