Petro 1 4

1 Eya ta esi Kristo kpe fu le eƒe ŋutilã me ta la, miawo hã mitsɔ nɔnɔme ma ke bla miaƒe aliwo dzii, elabena ame si kpe fu le eƒe ŋutilã me la, klã ɖa tso nu vɔ̃ gbɔ,

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the flesh, arme your selues likewise with the same minde, which is, that he which hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sinne,

2 Le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me le anyigba dzi la, menɔ agbe le ŋutilã ƒe nudzodzrowo nu o, ke boŋ ɖe Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu.

That he hence forward should liue (as much time as remaineth in the flesh) not after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

3 Tsã la, miegblẽ ɣeyiɣi geɖe le nu siwo trɔ̃subɔlawo wɔna la me, esiwo nye ahiãwɔwɔ, nudzodzro vɔ̃wo, ahatsunono, nuɖuɖu vivivo, aglotutu vɔ̃wo kple trɔ̃subɔsubɔ ŋunyɔtɔ.

For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spet the time past of ye life, after the lust of the Gentiles, walking in wantonnes, lustes, drunkennes, in gluttonie, drinkings, and in abominable idolatries.

4 Ewɔ moya na wo be miedo ɖi ɖe ŋunyɔnu ƒe tɔɖɔɖɔ sia me kpli wo o, eya ta woli kɔ dzu ɖe mia dzi gleglegle.

Wherein it seemeth to them strange, that yee runne not with them vnto the same excesse of riot: therefore speake they euill of you,

5 Ke hã la, ele na wo be woana akɔnta ame si le klalo be yeadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu agbagbeawo kple kukuawo.

Which shall giue accounts to him, that is readie to iudge quicke and dead.

6 Susu sia ta wogblɔ nyanyui la na ame siwo ku va yi xoxo la hã, ale be togbɔ be le woƒe agbenɔnɔ le anyigba dzi me woto ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ si me amegbetɔ ɖe sia ɖe tona hã la, woate ŋu ava Mawu ƒe agbe la gbɔ le gbɔgbɔ me.

For vnto this purpose was the Gospell preached also vnto the dead, that they might bee condemned, according to men in the flesh, but might liue according to God in the spirit.

7 Nuwo katã ƒe nuwuwu ɖo vɔ, eya ta minɔ mo xexi, eye miɖu mia ɖokui dzi, ale be miate ŋu ado gbe ɖa.

Now the ende of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watching in prayer.

8 Ƒo nuwo katã ta la, milɔ̃ mia nɔewo vevie, elabena lɔlɔ̃ tsyɔa nu vɔ̃ ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ dzi.

But aboue all thinges haue feruent loue among you: for loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes.

9 Mixɔ mia nɔewo ɖe miaƒe aƒewo me liʋĩliʋĩlilĩmanɔmee.

Be ye harberous one to another, without grudging.

10 Mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ eƒe gbɔgbɔmenunana asubɔ ame bubuwoe; abe subɔvi nyuiwo ene la, mima Mawu ƒe amenuveve la anukwaretɔe le mɔ vovovowo nu.

Let euery man as hee hath receiued the gift, minister the same one to another, as good disposers of the manifolde grace of God.

11 Ne ame aɖe le nu ƒom la, neƒoe abe Mawu gbɔ nyawo tso ene. Ne ame aɖe le subɔsubɔm la, newɔe kple ŋusẽ si Mawu nae la katã, ale be le nuwo katã me la, woakafu Mawu to Yesu Kristo dzi. Eya tɔe nye ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)

If any man speake, let him speake as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth, that God in al things may be glorified through Iesus Christ, to whome is prayse and dominion for euer, and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Nɔvi veviwo, migana fuwɔame ƒe dodokpɔ si me tom miele la nawɔ nuku na mi abe nane si medzɔ kpɔ o lae le mia dzi vam ene o.

Dearely beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the firie triall, which is among you to proue you, as though some strange thing were come vnto you:

13 Ke mikpɔ dzidzɔ be mienye fukpekpe siwo me Kristo to la ƒe gomekpɔlawo, ale be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nagbã go ne wòɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia.

But reioyce, in asmuch as ye are partakers of Christs suffrings, that when his glory shall appeare, ye may be glad and reioyce.

14 Ne wodzu mi le Kristo ƒe ŋkɔ ta la, woayra mi, elabena ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe Gbɔgbɔ si nye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la le mia dzi.

If yee be railed vpon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: which on their part is euill spoken of: but on your part is glorified.

15 Ne miekpe fu la, migakpee abe hlɔ̃dola, fiafitɔ alo nu tovo wɔla aɖe loo, alo ame si dea nu ame bubuwo ƒe nya me la ene o.

But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euil doer, or as a busibodie in other mens matters.

16 Gake ne mia dometɔ aɖe akpe fu, elabena enye kristotɔ la, ŋu megakpee o, ke boŋ neda akpe na Mawu be woyɔ ŋkɔ sia ɖe eŋu.

But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe.

17 Elabena ɣeyiɣi de be ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ nadze egɔme tso Mawu ƒe ƒomea me; ke ne edze gɔme tso mía dzi la, ekema aleke woahanɔ na ame siwo meɖo to Mawu ƒe nyanyui la o?

For the time is come, that iudgement must beginne at the house of God. If it first beginne at vs, what shall the ende be of them which obey not the Gospel of God?

18 Eye, “Nenye be bebli hafi ame dzɔdzɔe nakpɔ ɖeɖe la, ekema aleke wòanɔ na mawumavɔ̃lawo kple nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo?”

And if the righteous scarcely bee saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?

19 Eya ta ame siwo kpea fu le Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu nu la netsɔ wo ɖokuiwo de asi na wo Wɔla nuteƒetɔwɔla la, eye woayi nu nyui wɔwɔ dzi.

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.
