1 Peter 5
1 The elders that are among you I exhort, who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed; feed the flock of God that is among you,
Vatariri vari pakati penyu ndinovakurudzira, vandiri mutariri pamwe navo nechapupu chematambudziko aKristu, nemugovani wekubwinya kuchazoratidzwa.
2 taking the episcopal charge of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with a ready mind:
Fudzai boka raMwari riri pakati penyu, muchitaridzira, kwete nekurovererwa asi nekuda, kwete nekuda kwekukarira fuma yakaipa, asi nechido,
3 nor as lording it over the people, but being examples to the flock.
kana kuva semadzishe pane vamakagoverwa, asi muri mifananidzo yeboka.
4 And when the sovereign Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an unfading crown of glory.
Zvino Mufudzi mukuru paachaonekwa muchagamuchira korona yekubwinya isingabvuruvari.
5 Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder; and all of you behaving with due submission one to another, be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.
Saizvozvo, vadiki, zviisei pasi pevakuru, uye mese muzviise pasi umwe kune mumwe, mupfekedzwe nekuzvininipisa, nokuti Mwari anopikisa vanozvikudza, asi anopa nyasha vanozvininipisa.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
Naizvozvo zvininipisei pasi peruoko rwune simba rwaMwari, kuti akukudzei panguva yakafanira,
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.
muchikandira pamusoro pake kufunganya kwenyu kwese, nokuti iye ane hanya nemwi.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Svinurai, rindai, nokuti mupikisi wenyu dhiabhorosi, seshumba inoomba anofamba-famba achitsvaka waangapedza;
9 whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are endured by your brethren in the world.
mumupikise makasimba parutendo, muchiziva kuti matambudziko iwawo anozadziswa kuhama dzenyu dziri panyika.
10 But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
Asi Mwari wenyasha dzese, iye wakatidanira mukubwinya kwake kusingaperi muna Kristu Jesu, kana tatambudzika chinguvana, iye anokupedzeredzai nekukutsigisai, nekukupai simba, nekukuteyai. (aiōnios g166)
Kwaari ngakuve kubwinya nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Thus I have written briefly by Silvanus, a faithful brother to you (as I judge) exhorting and testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
NaSirivhano hama yakatendeka kwamuri, pakufunga kwangu, ndanyora nepadiki, ndichikurudzira nekupupura kuti idzi ndidzo nyasha dzechokwadi dzaMwari, dzamumire madziri.
13 The church in Babylon, chosen together with you saluteth you, and so doth Marcus my son.
Kereke iri muBhabhironi yakasarudzwa pamwe nemwi inokukwazisai, naMariko mwanakomana wangu.
14 Salute one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Kwazisanai nekutsvoda kwerudo. Rugare kwamuri mese muri muna Kristu Jesu. Ameni.
