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
Elders who [are] among you, I exhort, who [am] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,
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,
feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,
3 be miagaɖu tɔ ɖe hame si dzikpɔlawo woɖo mi la dzi o, ke boŋ mianye kpɔɖeŋu na alẽha la.
neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
4 Ekema ne Alẽkplɔlagã la ado la, miaxɔ ŋutikɔkɔefiakuku si ƒe keklẽ maklo akpɔ gbeɖe o.
and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown 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.”
In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;
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.
be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
7 Mitsɔ miaƒe dzimaɖitsitsiwo katã da ɖe eya amea dzi, elabena eléa be na mi.
all your care having cast upon Him, because 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, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
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, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.
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 did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
to Him [is] the glory, and the power — to the ages and the ages! 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, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few [words] I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.
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.
Salute you doth the [assembly] in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.
14 Mitsɔ lɔlɔ̃ do gbe na mia nɔewo abe Kristotɔ vavãwo ene. Ŋutifafa na mi ame siwo katã le Kristo me.
Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
