Petro 1 5
1 Nye, ame si nye hamemegã, Kristo ƒe fukpekpewo ƒe ɖaseɖila kple ame si hã akpɔ gome le ŋutikɔkɔe si woaɖe afia la me la le edom ɖe hamemegã siwo le mia dome la gbɔ be
The elders which are among you, I beseech which am also an elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe reueiled,
2 mianye Mawu ƒe alẽha si wòtsɔ de miaƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te la ƒe kplɔlawo, mikpɔ wo ta, eye menye abe dɔdeasi ko ene o, ke boŋ kple dzidzɔ kple lɔlɔ̃nu nyui, abe ale si Mawu di tso mia si be miawɔ ene. Menye kple ŋukeklẽ ɖe ga ŋuti o, ke boŋ kple subɔsubɔ ƒe didi nyui,
Feede the flocke of God, which dependeth vpon you, caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde:
3 be miagaɖu tɔ ɖe hame si dzikpɔlawo woɖo mi la dzi o, ke boŋ mianye kpɔɖeŋu na alẽha la.
Not as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke.
4 Ekema ne Alẽkplɔlagã la ado la, miaxɔ ŋutikɔkɔefiakuku si ƒe keklẽ maklo akpɔ gbeɖe o.
And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory.
5 Nenema ke, mi ɖekakpuiwo la, mibɔbɔ mia ɖokuiwo na ame tsitsiwo. Mido ɖokuibɔbɔ abe awu ene na mia ɖokuiwo, ale be miate ŋu asubɔ mia nɔewo, elabena, “Mawu tsia tsitre ɖe dadalawo ŋu, ke evea ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokuiwo la nu.”
Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
6 Eya ta azɔ la, mibɔbɔ mia ɖokuiwo ɖe Mawu ƒe asi sesẽ la te, be ne ɣeyiɣi si wòɖo la de la, wòakɔ mi ɖe dzi.
Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
7 Mitsɔ miaƒe dzimaɖitsitsiwo katã da ɖe eya amea dzi, elabena eléa be na mi.
Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
8 Miɖu mia ɖokuiwo dzi, eye minɔ ŋudzɔ. Miaƒe futɔ, Abosam, le tsatsam abe dzata si le gbe tem, le nu dim ne wòavuvu la ene.
Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure:
9 Minɔ te ɖe enu, minɔ tsitre sesĩe le xɔse la me, elabena mienyae be mia nɔvi siwo le xexea me godoo la le fukpekpe mawo ke me tom.
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are in the world.
10 Amenuveve katã ƒe Mawu la, ame si yɔ mi va eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe mavɔ la gbɔ le Kristo me, le fukpekpe sue aɖe ko megbe la, ŋutɔ aɖo mi te, ado ŋusẽ mi, ali ke mi, eye wòaɖo mia gɔme anyi. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a litle, make you perfite, confirme, strengthen and stablish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and dominion for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Meŋlɔ nu kpui sia ɖo ɖe mi to nɔvi Silvano, ame si mebu nɔvi nuteƒewɔla la ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu me, le ŋusẽ dom mi kple ɖaseɖiɖi be esiae nye Mawu ƒe amenuveve nyateƒetɔ la. Minɔ te sesĩe le eme.
By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, as I suppose, haue I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.
13 Mia nɔvi si nye hame si le Babilonia, si wotia kpe ɖe mia ŋu la do gbe na mi vevie. Nenema ke, vinye Marko hã do gbe na mi nyuie.
The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
14 Mitsɔ lɔlɔ̃ do gbe na mia nɔewo abe Kristotɔ vavãwo ene. Ŋutifafa na mi ame siwo katã le Kristo me.
Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, Amen.
