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 has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

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 no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to 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 the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and 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 they think it strange that all of you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

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

Who shall give account (logos) to him that is ready to judge the quick and the 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 for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (pneuma)

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

But the end of all things is at hand: be all of you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

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

And above all things have fervent love (agape) among yourselves: for love (agape) shall cover the multitude of sins.

9 Mixɔ mia nɔewo ɖe miaƒe aƒewo me liʋĩliʋĩlilĩmanɔmee.

Use hospitality 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.

As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold 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 speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. 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.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto 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 rejoice, inasmuch as all of you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, all of you may be glad also with exceeding joy.

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 all of you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are all of you; for the spirit (pneuma) of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he 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 murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's 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.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

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 has come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that 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 be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

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 the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
