Pieli Tikpiali 4
1 Lanwani kelima Kilisiti n den laa fala yeni, yi moko n bogini ki sedi leni laa yantiali, kelima yua n laa fala ogbannandi nni paadi leni ti tuonbiadi.
Since, then, Christ suffered in body, arm yourselves with the same resolve as he; for he who has suffered in body has ceased to sin,
2 Ke wan fidi ki yaa tiendi U Tienu yanbuama, ki da go tiendi o gbannandi bonbuakaala, ki yaa caa hali o miali bianu.
and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 Kelima yi den kpa taa yi miana yema yoginkpialu kuli ki tieni bi handuntieba yanbuama, kelima yi den puuni yi yula mi conconma, yi gbannandi bonbuakabiadila, li dañogaadili ki di ki ñu ke li kandi leni ti cagindi buoli kuli po.
Surely in the past you have spent time enough living as the Gentiles delight to live. For your path has lain among scenes of debauchery, licentiousness, drunkenness, revelry, hard-drinking, and profane idolatry.
4 Laa bonla pakiba hali boncianla yin kaa go kuani yi yama laa joagindi nni, ki baa yegi leni ba lanyaapo bi sugidi yi.
And, because you do not run to the same extremes of profligacy as others, they are astonished, and malign you.
5 Ama bi baa togidi bi tuona kuli yua n bogini ki baa jia ti buudi leni yaaba n fo leni yaaba n kpe kuli nintuali.
But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.
6 Li tie lanyaapo ke bi den waani yaaba n kpe o laabaalihamo, ke ban fidi ki yaa pia U Tienu miali kelima mi fuoma po, baa ke ti buudi den cuoba nani bi nisaaliba kuli yeni.
For that was why the good news was told to the dead also – that, after they have been judged in the body, as people are judged, they might live in the spirit, as God lives.
7 Li bonla kuli juodima nagini, yin baa mi yanfuoma, ki kubi yi yula ki cuo ijaandi.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore exercise self-restraint and be calm, so that you may be able to pray.
8 Hali ke yi daa tieni li ba kuli, yin yaa pia mi buamoanma yinba leni yi yaba siiga. kelima mi buama doagindi yi tagili boncianla.
Above all things, let your love for one another be earnest, for “Love throws a veil over countless sins.”
9 Yin yaa gaani mani yi yaba cangu ki da yenbidi.
Never grudge hospitality to one another.
10 Yi siiga yua kuli n yaa todi olieba leni wan den baa yaa paabu U Tienu kani, yeni yi baa tie yaaba n tuuni U Tienu hanbili po.
Whatever the gift that each has received, use it in the service of others, as good stewards of the varied bounty of God.
11 O nilo yaa maadi lan yaa tie ke o wangi U Tienu maama, nilo ya soani tuonli lan yaa tie leni U Tienu yaa fidu, ke U Tienu n baa ti kpiagidi kelima Jesu Kilisiti yaapo, kelima wani n die ti kpiagidi leni upaciamu nifiima n tu nifiima «Amina» (aiōn g165)
When anyone speaks, they should speak as one who is delivering the oracles of God. When anyone is endeavouring to serve others, they should do so in reliance on the strength which God supplies; so that in everything God may be honoured through Jesus Christ – to whom be ascribed all honour and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 N buakaaba lan da paki yi leni ya falaciamo n ye yi siiga, ki tie nani mi fantama yeni ki baa biigi yi, nani li tie yi po li boncanla yeni.
Dear friends, do not be astonished at the trial of fire that you are passing through, to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 Ama yin yaa mangidi yi pala leni yin taani leni Kilisiti ofala nni, ke okpiagidi ya doagidi ya yogunu yi moko n baa li pamankandi kaali.
No, the more you share the sufferings of the Christ, the more may you rejoice, that, when the time comes for the manifestation of his glory, you may rejoice and exult.
14 Bi ya sugidi yi kelima Kilisiti yeli po yin mangi yi pala kelima ti kpiagidi Fuoma U Tienu Fuoma yua yeni, ye leni yi.
If you are insulted for bearing the name of Christ, count yourselves blessed; because the divine glory and the Spirit of God are resting on you.
15 Ama yi siiga o ba kuli n da la fala kelima o tie nikpalo, sugido, bi biaditoama, bi kelima o kua nitoaba maama nni.
I need hardly say that no one among you must suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or for interfering in matters which do not concern Christians.
16 Ama nilo yaa la fala kelima o tie Jesu yua po, fe n da pia o, ama wan mangi opali leni ban yini o laa yeli.
But, if someone suffers as a Christian, they should not be ashamed of it; they should bring honour to God even though they bear that name.
17 Kelima uyogunu pundi ke ti buudi baa cili leni U Tienu diegu. To, ti buudi ya cili leni tinba, yaaba n yie kaa daani mo yaa juodima baa tua lede?
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God; and, if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God’s good news?
18 Nani i diani n yedi maama: O niteginkoa ya tindi leni fala, o nibiado leni ti tuonbiadi daano mo yaa juodima baa tua lede?
If “a good person is saved only with difficulty, what will become of the godless and the sinful?”
19 Lanwani yaaba n laadi fala, kelima U Tienu po n suagi ki ya tiendi yaala, n hani ki teni bi yula otagido yua n tie o dugikoa.
Therefore, I say, let those who suffer, because God wills it so, commit their lives into the hands of a faithful Creator, and persevere in doing right.
