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.
The elders that are among you I exhort, who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed; feed the flock of God that is among you,
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;
taking the episcopal charge of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with a ready mind:
3 ban da nuna iko a kan waɗanda aka danƙa muku amana, sai dai ku zama gurbi ga garken.
nor as lording it over the people, but being examples to the flock.
4 Sa’ad da kuwa Babban Makiyayin ya bayyana, za ku karɓi rawanin ɗaukaka marar koɗewa.
And when the sovereign Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an 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.”
Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder; and all of you behaving with due submission one to another, be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor 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 care upon Him, for 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 vigilant; for your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walketh about, 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.
whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are endured by your brethren in the world.
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 hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. 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.
Thus I have written briefly by Silvanus, a faithful brother to you (as I judge) exhorting and testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13 Ita wadda take a Babilon, zaɓaɓɓiya tare da ku, tana gaishe ku, haka ma ɗana Markus.
The church in Babylon, chosen together with you saluteth you, and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Ku gai da juna da sumbar ƙauna. Salama gare ku duka da kuke cikin Kiristi.
Salute one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
