1 Bitrus 4
1 Saboda haka, da yake Kiristi ya sha wahala a jikinsa, sai ku ma ku yi wa kanku ɗamara da irin wannan hali, gama wanda ya sha wahala a jikinsa ya gama da zunubi ke nan.
Forasmuch then as Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 Ta haka, ba ya sauran rayuwarsa a kan mugayen sha’awace-sha’awacen jiki, sai dai nufin Allah.
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
3 Gama kun ɓata lokaci sosai a dā kuna yin abubuwan da masu bauta gumaka suka zaɓa su yi, kuna rayuwa cikin lalata, sha’awace-sha’awace, buguwa, shashanci, shaye-shaye da kuma bautar gumaka masu banƙyama.
For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4 Sun yi mamaki da ba kwa haɗa kai da su a yanzu, da ba kwa kutsa kai tare da su cikin irin rayuwar banzan nan, har suna zaginku.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 Amma dole su ba da lissafi gare shi wanda yake a shirye yă shari’anta masu rai da matattu.
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Dalilin ke nan da ya sa aka yi wa’azin bishara har ga waɗanda yanzu suke mutattu, don ko da yake an hukunta su a matsayin mutane a batun jiki, amma su rayu ga Allah a batun ruhu.
For this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
7 Ƙarshen abubuwa duka ya yi kusa. Saboda haka ku kasance masu tunani mai kyau da masu kamunkai don ku iya yin addu’a.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 Fiye da kome, ku ƙaunaci juna sosai, domin ƙauna tana rufe zunubai masu ɗumbun yawa.
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Ku riƙa karɓar juna ba da gunaguni ba.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Kowa yă yi amfani da kowace baiwar da ya samu don kyautata wa waɗansu, cikin aminci yana aikata alherin Allah a hanyoyi dabam-dabam.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
11 In wani ya yi magana, ya kamata yă yi ta a matsayin wanda yake magana ainihin kalmomin Allah. In wani yana yin hidima, ya kamata yă yi ta da ƙarfin da Allah ya tanadar, domin a cikin kome a yabi Allah ta wurin Yesu Kiristi. A gare shi ɗaukaka da iko sun tabbata har abada abadin. Amin. (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus (the) Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, kada ku yi mamakin gwaji mai tsananin da kuke sha, sai ka ce wani baƙon abu ne yake faruwa da ku.
Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
13 Sai dai ku yi murna cewa kuna tarayya cikin shan wahalolin Kiristi, domin ku kai ga farin ciki mai yawa sa’ad da aka bayyana ɗaukakarsa.
But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 In an zage ku saboda sunan Kiristi, ku masu albarka ne, gama Ruhun ɗaukaka da kuma na Allah yana bisanku.
If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
15 In kuna shan wahala, kada yă zama don ku masu kisankai ne ko ɓarayi ko masu wani irin laifi ko kuma masu shisshigi.
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 Amma fa, in kuka sha wahala a matsayin ku Kirista ne, kada ku ji kunya, sai dai ku yabi Allah cewa kuna amsa wannan suna.
But if as a "Follower of the Messiah," let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
17 Gama lokaci ya yi da za a fara yi wa iyalin Allah shari’a; in kuwa ya fara da mu, to, me zai faru da waɗanda ba sa biyayya da bisharar Allah?
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18 Kuma, “In da ƙyar masu adalci su kuɓuta, me zai faru da marasa tsoron Allah da kuma masu zunubi?”
And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
19 Saboda haka, waɗanda suke shan wahala bisa ga nufin Allah ya kamata su danƙa kansu ga Mahaliccinsu mai aminci, su kuma ci gaba da aikata abin da yake daidai.
Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
