Πετρου Α΄ 5
1 Πρεσβυτέρους οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ, ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός,
Ebadaleni abaphakathi kwenu, ngiyakhalaza njengomunye wabadala, ufakazi wezinhlupheko zikaKhristu lomunye laye ozahlanganyela enkazimulweni ezabonakaliswa:
2 ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, μὴ ἀναγκαστῶς, ἀλλὰ ἑκουσίως, κατὰ ˚Θεόν, μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς, ἀλλὰ προθύμως,
Wobani ngabelusi bomhlambi kaNkulunkulu eliwugcinayo, lisebenze njengababonisi, kungasikubanjwa ngamandla, kodwa ngenxa yokuthanda kwenu, njengoba uNkulunkulu efuna ukuba libe njalo; lingelamhawu wemali, kodwa lifisa ukusiza;
3 μηδʼ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων, ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου.
hatshi ukubusa ababekwe ezandleni zenu, kodwa liyisibonelo emhlambini.
4 Καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος, κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.
Lapho uMalusi oMkhulu evela, lizakwamukela umqhele wenkazimulo engayikufiphala.
5 Ὁμοίως, νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις. Πάντες, δὲ ἀλλήλοις τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε ὅτι, “Ὁ ˚Θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.”
Majaha, ngokunjalo zehliseni ebadaleni. Lonke zembathiseni ngokuthobeka omunye komunye, ngoba, “UNkulunkulu umelana labazigqajayo, kodwa abe lomusa kwabathobekileyo.”
6 Ταπεινώθητε οὖν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῷ,
Ngakho-ke, zithobeni ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esilamandla, ukuze aliphakamise ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
7 πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπʼ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῷ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.
Yethulani kuye konke ukukhathazeka kwenu ngoba yena uyalikhathalela.
8 Νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε. Ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν, διάβολος, ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ, ζητῶν καταπιεῖν·
Zithibeni, liqaphele. Isitha senu uSathane, siyazulazula njengesilwane esibhongayo sidinga esingamudla.
9 ᾧ ἀντίστητε, στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων, τῇ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.
Menqabeni, liqine ekukholweni ngoba liyakwazi ukuthi abazalwane benu emhlabeni wonke baphakathi kwalezo zinhlupheko.
10 Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν ˚Χριστῷ, ὀλίγον παθόντας, αὐτὸς καταρτίσει, στηρίξει, σθενώσει, (aiōnios g166)
Njalo uNkulunkulu womusa wonke, yena owalibizela enkazimulweni kaKhristu engulaphakade, emva kokuba lihlupheke okwesikhatshana, yena uqobo uzalivuselela alenze libe lamandla, liqine njalo lithembeke. (aiōnios g166)
Amandla kawabe kuye kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ, ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ (ὡς λογίζομαι), διʼ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, εἰς ἣν στῆτε.
Ngosizo lukaSayilasi, engimthanda njengomzalwane othembekileyo, ngililobele ngamafitshane ngilikhuthaza njalo ngifakaza ukuthi lo ngumusa oqotho kaNkulunkulu. Bambelelani kuwo.
13 Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ, καὶ Μᾶρκος, ὁ υἱός μου.
Lowo oseBhabhiloni, owakhethwa kanye lani, uyalibingelela, loMakho indodana yami iyalibingelela.
14 Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν, τοῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ.
Bingelelanani ngokwangana kothando. Ukuthula kakube kini lonke elikuKhristu.
