1 Peter 5
1 Therefore I exhort the elders amongst you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Nenda kwa sili apinda bababile miongoni mwinu, nenga nanibile nampinda nyabe na shaidi mateso ya Kristo na ambaye vile vile ni mshirki katika utukufu unapatikana.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is amongst you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Kwa njo, nipeya mwoyo mwenga mwaipindo mulikote likundi lya Nn”ungu lyakibile miongoni mwinu, mulilolange, sio kwa sababy muyeubilikwa lakini kwa sababu mupalitenjo, tokana na Nn”ungu mulotange sio kwa penda mbanje ya oni, lakini ka penda.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Kwane mwipange mwamabwana kunaniya bundu bababile payi ya lola kwinu, lakini mube mfano wa likundi.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Palu mchungaji mpindo paluwa tanganikwa mwapokya mataji go utukufu yaobali uthamani wake.
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.”
Namwenga, mwa vijana mwasend, munyenyekeyanga kwa apindo binu. Mwenga mwabori muwale unyenyekevu nopeyana mwenga kwa mwenga, kwani Nn”ungu akumbwa benge yuwa, lakini apeya neema anyenyekevu.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Kwa njo munyenyekeyange paiya makoga Nn”ungu gagabile hodari ili akakatuye kwa muda wake.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Mumiki fadhaa yinu panani yake, kwa sababu andakuntanga.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Mube na busara, mube mwamuaminika. Yulu adui yinu, ibilisi kati imba ywa kumbwa nduli kaegelya, kampala mundu wa kunuma.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Muyime nchungu yake, mube na makakala katika imani yinu, mutangite panga alongo binu bababile ulimwenguni bapitya mateso kati go.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Messiah Yeshua, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Baada ya kuteseka kwa muda nkulu, Nn”ungu wa neema yoti, ywabakemite katika utukufu wa milele nkati ya Kristo, ankamilisha, amwimariisha na kumpeya ngupu. (aiōnios g166)
Enzi ibe kwake milele na milele. Amina. (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.
Namthamini silwano kati nn”ongo mwaminifu, na nimwandikile mwenga kaw kifupi pitya kwake. Nipeyanga mwoyo wa nendashudia ponga chanikiandike ni neemo ya kweli kwa Nn”ungu. Muyimange nkati yake.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Mwabili mwamubile Babelu baba Sauli kwe na mwenga, banda kunsalimia, na Marko mwanawangu andankusalimia.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Messiah Yeshua. Amen.
Musalimianane kwa kila jumo kwa busu la upendo. Na Amani ibe kwinu mwamubile nkati ya Kristo.
