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.
If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins,
2 Ke wan fidi ki yaa tiendi U Tienu yanbuama, ki da go tiendi o gbannandi bonbuakaala, ki yaa caa hali o miali bianu.
that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure 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.
For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.
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 lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness;
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.
who must give account to God, who is to judge 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 on this account the announcement is made also to the dead, that they may be judged as persons in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
7 Li bonla kuli juodima nagini, yin baa mi yanfuoma, ki kubi yi yula ki cuo ijaandi.
But the end of all things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer.
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.
And above all things, have fervent love one towards another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Yin yaa gaani mani yi yaba cangu ki da yenbidi.
And be ye compassionate to strangers, without murmuring.
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.
And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace 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)
Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, 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.
My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation.
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.
But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.
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.
And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon 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.
Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer.
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 he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this 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 it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
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?
And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!
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.
Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the pleasure of God, commend their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
