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
I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
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,
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 be miagaɖu tɔ ɖe hame si dzikpɔlawo woɖo mi la dzi o, ke boŋ mianye kpɔɖeŋu na alẽha la.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Ekema ne Alẽkplɔlagã la ado la, miaxɔ ŋutikɔkɔefiakuku si ƒe keklẽ maklo akpɔ gbeɖe o.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
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, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives 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 yourselves therefore under the mighty 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.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares 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 self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
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.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
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, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the power forever. 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.
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. Stand firm in it.
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.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Mitsɔ lɔlɔ̃ do gbe na mia nɔewo abe Kristotɔ vavãwo ene. Ŋutifafa na mi ame siwo katã le Kristo me.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
