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.
Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; —
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 beloved flock of God, which is among you, —not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind, —
3 ban da nuna iko a kan waɗanda aka danƙa muku amana, sai dai ku zama gurbi ga garken.
Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
4 Sa’ad da kuwa Babban Makiyayin ya bayyana, za ku karɓi rawanin ɗaukaka marar koɗewa.
And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
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.”
In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders; —All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
6 Saboda haka, ku ƙasƙantar da kanku a ƙarƙashin hannun Allah mai ƙarfi, don yă ɗaukaka ku a lokacin da ya ga dama.
Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
7 Ku danƙa masa dukan damuwarku, domin shi ne yake lura da ku.
All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth 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! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to 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.
Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
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)
Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen: — (aiōnios g166)
Unto him, be the dominion, unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
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.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!
13 Ita wadda take a Babilon, zaɓaɓɓiya tare da ku, tana gaishe ku, haka ma ɗana Markus.
She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
14 Ku gai da juna da sumbar ƙauna. Salama gare ku duka da kuke cikin Kiristi.
Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
