1 Bitrus 5
1 Zuwa ga dattawan da suke cikinku, ina roƙo a matsayin ɗan’uwanku dattijo, mashaidin shan wahalar Kiristi wanda kuma shi ma zai sami rabo cikin ɗaukakar da za a bayyana.
Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2 Ku zama makiyayan garken Allah da yake a ƙarƙashin kulawarku, kuna hidima kamar masu kula, ba kan dole ba, sai dai da yardar rai, yadda Allah yake so ku zama; ban da kwaɗayin kuɗi, sai dai marmarin yin hidima;
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 ban da nuna iko a kan waɗanda aka danƙa muku amana, sai dai ku zama gurbi ga garken.
not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Sa’ad da kuwa Babban Makiyayin ya bayyana, za ku karɓi rawanin ɗaukaka marar koɗewa.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
5 Samari, ku ma, ku yi biyayya ga waɗanda suka girme ku. Dukanku, ku yafa sauƙinkai ga juna, domin, “Allah yana gāba da mai girman kai, amma yakan yi alheri ga mai sauƙinkai.”
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6 Saboda haka, ku ƙasƙantar da kanku a ƙarƙashin hannun Allah mai ƙarfi, don yă ɗaukaka ku a lokacin da ya ga dama.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
7 Ku danƙa masa dukan damuwarku, domin shi ne yake lura da ku.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Ku zama masu kamunkai, ku kuma zauna a faɗake. Abokin gābanku, Iblis yana kewayewa kamar zaki mai ruri, yana neman wanda zai cinye.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Ku yi tsayayya da shi, kuna tsayawa daram cikin bangaskiya, domin kun san cewa’yan’uwanku ko’ina a duniya suna shan irin wahalolin nan.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Allah mai dukan alheri, wanda ya kira ku ga madawwamiyar ɗaukaka cikin Kiristi, bayan kun sha wahala na ɗan lokaci, shi da kansa zai raya ku, yă kuma sa ku yi ƙarfi, ku kahu, ku kuma tsaya daram. (aiōnios g166)
But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
12 Da taimakon Sila, wanda na ɗauka a matsayin ɗan’uwa mai aminci, na rubuta muku a taƙaice, ina ƙarfafa ku ina kuma shaida muku cewa wannan shi ne alherin Allah na gaske. Ku tsaya daram a cikinsa.
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
13 Ita wadda take a Babilon, zaɓaɓɓiya tare da ku, tana gaishe ku, haka ma ɗana Markus.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
14 Ku gai da juna da sumbar ƙauna. Salama gare ku duka da kuke cikin Kiristi.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
